  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

    When you want to spend all your cash on blow

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    I was hoping there'd actually be a community about pc fans under that name...

    I am very disappointed.

    I probably should but I don't feel like I'm qualified to create a fan community. (As in I don't know enough about fans) Edit: Also I'm afraid there's a community under that name on the instance I'm from and there can't be two communities with the same name and instance right?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah well. [email protected] is already claimed. Though you can create another account on a different instance where it is not created already if you don't mind the hassle. I also don't think you need to even know about how fans work just to make a community about images of literal fans. It's your choice.

    [–] 0x4E4F 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    This is actually a good idea, I could create one like that on sh.itjust.works... it's not against the rules, it's not porn 🤷... well... sorta 😂.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

    I would definitely subscribe, even if I don't post anything.

    Just need to mod out that PSU fan and it'll be perfect

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    The case also needs a paint job

    Downvoted for not modding the PSU fan

    [–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (2 children)

    It's funny how those fans are a decent percentage of the whole build. They'll last a life time of builds though so well worth it imo.

    [–] [email protected] 29 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Those are Noctua fans so a decent percentage of the price tag too lol. I count 22 that's like $600+ in just fans.

    [–] 0x4E4F 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

    Mine are all server grade, Sanyo, Fujikura, Nidec... fairly loud, but will last forever.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

    I'm very sensitive to white noise so I'd rather have a 5 to 10 year service quiet fan. But I see the appeal. Perhaps setting the machine in a cabinet somewhere and use a fanless thin client at the desk. But that's $$$$.

    [–] 0x4E4F 3 points 9 months ago

    Yeah, it's not for everyone, I know. But it doesn't bother me and I can rest assured that all fans are working all the time, so it's a good deal for me.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    You could get a fiber optic display/HDMI cable, a fiber optic USB cable, and the USB hub, then just move the desktop tower into another room and run the cables through the walls or ceilings to your display setup. Might only be $100 or so cheaper than then a used business thin client, but at least you could still do something 4K 120Hz HDR 12bit over some distance without compromise. E.g:

    If I'm remembering the reviews of this case correctly it doesn't even have good airflow for all those fans.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    That makes sense to me... You really only want one path for the air flow. E g. In through the front, over the components, and out the back.

    Most of the fans in this setup are just fighting against each other.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

    Having front / bottom intake and rear / top exhaust is also fine if you have a top mounted radiator.

    Side in like this case has is also fine as long both front and side have the fans mounted the same way.

    When the cooling consumes more wattage than the GPU

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

    Can you compile stuff in parallel using a GPU?

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

    I'll try compiling it now. Also, it took me a while to realize FF is Firefox.

    Edit: It failed! I tried 2 times, it starts compiling, but after some time, I just find the terminal closed and it doesn't run. Anyways I won't bother with it, I only did it to torture my computer a little.

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago

    It's obviously Final Fantasy.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

    Firefox only takes half an hour on my Ryzen 5800X desktop anyway. Modern CPUs can chew through those chunky compile jobs pretty quickly.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

    Might be the out of memory killer. For me, Mach (Firefox's build tool) usually did a multi-processed build assuming around 1 GB RAM per thread. Run ./mach build -j10 to limit the build to e.g. 10 threads. Or set mk_add_options MOZ_PARALLEL_BUILD=10 in your config file.

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

    Where do you get the Final Fantasy source code. Asking for a friend (I'm not a cop btw, I swear)

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

    At this point just screw an entire full size box fan to the side of the case as one of the panels.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

    Contrary to the meme, it's probably very quiet, if they keep the RPMs low and the fans are arranged correctly

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

    The one black PSU fan is throwing off the vibe. I can’t stop looking at it.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Not enough fans, I want it to ruin my hearing too

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

    still quieter than laptop fan

    when building literally any Rust project from source*

    [–] 0x4E4F 2 points 9 months ago

    Or wheel for python.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

    Sure is. If you can get bigger fans.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    I'm surprised the CPU cooler is so small when they went to all that effort adding all those Noctuas.

    [–] 0x4E4F 2 points 9 months ago

    You don't need a big one if you got 20 more blowing left and right 😁.

    are all those 80mm fans? that must be loud

    [–] 0x4E4F 1 points 9 months ago

    I don't think so, they're probably 120mm.

    If that's for FF, what about chromium?

    CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

    With both X and Wayland support!

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

    Compiling chromium crashed my laptop lol

    [–] 0x4E4F 2 points 9 months ago

    Yeah, same thing.
