Post your gaming setup!

How is this weird? When will people realize that their product not failing does not equal to other product not failing. Even between exactly the same models there's a defect rate. Nothing can be manufactured to work perfectly 100% of the time. If you have 98% of a said item working and 2% defect rate that means that out of 100 products 2 are going to fail. I wouldn't call it weird, just math.

Hey, internet person, cool!

Thanks totally for your unnecessary deconstruction of product failure rates! Really appreciate it!

However, when will people realize that what they infer from something written in text is not entirely what the writer intended to imply? Even with very simple language, there's often misunderstanding.

It's weird that it developed a pump fault, but it's weirder that he didn't RMA an item costing about a hundred bucks when it's fully covered under warranty. I would, and even if I didn't use it (which would be weird) then I could at least sell it as an as-new item.

That's how it's fuckin' weird, matey.

It was about peace of mind really. Eventually at some point in time a CLC cooler is going to run into issues. Could take 6 months, could take 6 years, and yes I know failure is VERY unlikely - hell even if it does, at most the pump will die and liquid will stop circulating (i.e. it's not going to damage the system). H100 has served me very well in that regard. I think $100 spent for nearly 2 years of awesome cooling was alright, perhaps I will RMA it and sell off the new one :P

But yeah a D15 is basically a brick with 2 fans and no pump/noise to worry about...nothing could possibly go wrong with it. It falls in line with my eventual goal of going for maximum air-cooled silence. That's what I'm after.

Wasn't totally directed at you even though it might have felt like a personal insult, sorry about that. I just see people constantly making this logical fallacy that if they have a product failing it's because it's a bad product and the company they bought it from has wronged them somehow. Even to go as far as to draw some statistical evidence that if an item A from company Y dies on them it's somehow of a lesser quality then item B from company X. When, in fact, there's not nearly big enough of a sample size to make any conclusions one way or another.

Worth doing sooner rather than later. You're likely to get a newer version, but the sooner you RMA it the less chance of them bumping it down model (to the single rad version, for example).

Made a few upgrades and a new desk.

And added a WD Black for my game drive.

Ignore the cable mess and stock cooler, when I get some cash saved up I'll be replacing the case, cooler and psu.

Nope, not worth it anymore. Made ~$85-87 out of it during the time though

It obviously won't fit in the Mac Pro beneath it, stop trying to force fit it.

the red light looks awesome! I agree, the fan should be on the side, but I bet the light makes it look awesome on the top

As a Mac Pro user I'm offended and secretly amused, hehe

Woof.

[Cyanotical]

woot woot on the airport extreme, what do you think of it?

[inux94]

It's basic but it works, haven't tried gamestream yet because NCIX still hasn't shipped the controller after ~2 months.

Definitely better than my WRT120 randomly dropping connections/3k ping spikes when my friends are over to game. Wish there was something like mac address filtering & logs over people who connect though.

Going to try and make my own using PFSense early next year, when I return from the second course of CCNA.
