PC Modding

And look... I just leave the case wide open all the time so... well, it doesn't bother me one bit... I just vacuum it out here and there... just so I can get a good look at your setup (I'm sure it's absolutely spotless... you little perfectionist😁 )

Here’s an old shot from back in the day 😁, can't be bothered to snap a new one right now, especially since I'm about to hop in the shower after soccer practice.

This photo is actually from a while back 😁, and honestly, I really can't be bothered to snap a new one right now, especially since I'm planning on hopping in the shower once I'm done with my soccer match...

N/A....

The lighting and Zalman 😁

I mean, if you bring a girl into your room, she’s definitely going to be mesmerized by all those lights, and then that Zalman setup just completely blows her mind, giving her all sorts of ideas because of that VGA cooler and stuff like that... 🙂 🙏

N/A....I personally wouldn't touch a Fortron product with a ten-foot pole 😳 😬

This photo is an old one from back in 😁. I can't be bothered to take a new one right now; besides, I’m heading straight to the shower after my soccer match.

I don't see any point in having that red fan positioned under the GPU meant to exhaust air "out," because there's nowhere for that air to actually go... though, I guess it looks decent enough. 👍

Are you using those little rubber feet on the edge of that Zalman? 😛

My motherboard and CPU should be here tomorrow. Once they arrive, I'll post some pics of my second build—it's gonna be a total beast after all the PC Modding I do to it. 😎

wiredmarlin5 said:Pure chaos...

PC Modding and Zalman 😁

Honestly, if you're bringing a girl into your room, you're definitely getting distracted by all those lights, and then that Zalman cooler comes along and blows your mind, sparking all these crazy ideas about VGA heatsinks and whatever else. 🙂 🙏

Man... I wouldn't touch Fortron with a ten-foot pole 😳 😬

I actually repainted mine red and have two red neon tubes lying around, though they aren't in the rig right now. 🙂
Oh, and by the way, I have a boyfriend. 🤣

I actually hooked it up to a resistor so it isn't making any noise at all... I just picked it up on a whim because I was feeling a bit bored, really...

Yeah, definitely post some photos once it arrives so we can see how our favorite little tech expert handles this project 😁

My motherboard and Pro model are arriving tomorrow. Once they land, I'll drop some photos of my second build—it’s going to be a heavy-duty, custom-modded beast. 😎

I don't think I'm getting any sleep tonight. 😁

wiredmarlin5 said:It’s hooked up to a resistor, so it isn't loud

🙂 It isn't loud because it actually has "quiet fan" printed right on it in tiny letters

Joshua Davis18 said:🙂 It isn't actually loud, because if you look closely at the label, it clearly says "Quiet Fan"

Well, calling it "quiet" is a bit of an understatement, honestly... I mean, once it really kicks in, it’s more like a localized hurricane... just this massive wall of 😉

But you know how these things go... even with those labels, you can still find yourself looking at a Bluestorm CV2... 😈

wiredmarlin5 said:It’s quiet—too quiet. Like the eye of a storm... just this black 😉

But you know how these things go... I mean, there's always that BlueStorm vibe 😈

I started feeling this slight tapping inside it ever since it "slipped" out of my hands 😬 , but I think I've got it sorted—looks like a valve is acting up because everything seems fine once I stop it

PS
Honestly, how much of this am I even supposed to know from back in high school?
Yeah, yeah, sure, whatever, fine, cool, fun, sex 😍, yup, nah, nope, hell, maybe, ... (I lost track), whatever 😁

Joshua Davis18 said:It’s started making this faint little clicking sound inside it ever since it basically "slipped" right out of my hands 😬

You really are something else, aren't you... first you fry your motherboard, and then the power supply decides to give up the ghost too 🤣 🙏

Man... there's just nothing left to say 😛

wiredmarlin5 said:You’re a regular legend, aren't you? First you burn down your entire house in Chicago... then your power supply dies right after. 🤣 🙏

There's just nothing left to say... 😛

I forgot to mention how I absolutely trashed my GPU when my screwdriver slipped and gouged the board.

I guess I'm getting a world-class education if it's based entirely on my own screw-ups ([c]some guy—not that I remember who)

Joshua Davis18 said:Just a bunch of random nonsense... 😍, jibon, aht, nojn, cen, elf, cvolf, ... (I don't even know anymore), cvancig 😁

Then you've got tvelf, drajcen, fircen, funfcen, and cvancih right there too, what a joke...

Joshua Davis18 said:I totally forgot to mention how I absolutely trashed my GPU when my screwdriver slipped and gouged right through the board...

😂 😂 😱 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Man, what a legend, just total chaos... and on top of all that, you’re still out here trying to get into PC Modding😛 you’re gonna end up bringing the whole house down at this rate...😬

Joseph Carter9 said:Yeah, well, all those other keyboard warriors are hanging around here too, just being their usual annoying selves...

Man, I still need to figure out how you even spell that 🙏 , I'm not dying if I get it wrong, maybe

wiredmarlin5 said:😂 😂 😱 🙂 🙂 🙂

Absolute legend, man... you're out here playing hoops, and on top of all that, you're still obsessed with PC Modding 😛 at this rate you'll bring the whole house down 😬

Yeah, sure, go ahead and laugh, but unlike you, I don't have an adult film site bookmarked on my desktop 😬 since that's strictly for people over 18 😢

I just don't get it... no matter what I try, it just won't strip down 😁

Seriously, why don't you just go file a warranty claim on that PSU and see if they can fix it for you...

Joshua Davis18 said:since it's strictly for those over 18 😢

Oh, my heart just bleeds for you right now... 🙂

wiredmarlin5 said:I don't get it... I can't get him to strip down at all.😁

Well, you go first, then maybe she will if she stops laughing at you.😁

wiredmarlin5 said:Go ahead and file a warranty claim on that PSU and see if they fix it for you...

Nah, I'll just DIY it myself—no, seriously, the sound is so faint you can barely hear it unless you're practically hugging the power supply.

wiredmarlin5 said:Oh, my heart just breaks for you...

wiredmarlin5 said:🙂

🙂 alright, fine, I guess I'm a bit more familiar with that one 😁
