Gen Chat 0V: Paper Fallout of Doom Fantasy Zero

I'd definitely upgrade.

Im not the one to ask when it comes to specs, sorry.


Also: I did not realize that there was a planetary alignment tonight, though I am afraid I already missed it at its eclipse.

Why would you want water cooling?

TYHERE WAS AN ECLIPSE?!

Ive heard that water/liquid cooling works better and runs quieter than a normal fan.

Planetary eclipse at least.  It made them much brighter than normal, sadly I caught it after they had just passed each other and not during the moment of alignment.



Supposedly this one only happens every 2,000 years; though I have not found any source on that yet.

I just came in from outside and noticed that.

They were further apart than that when I saw them. Kinda crazy that, even though they just look like stars, two whole planets are visible to the naked eye right now.

is there still a planet eclipse? I noticed that 2 planets were very close together last night

yeah, tonight is when they're supposed to be at their closest.

the headband on my portable headphones just snapped :\

Wonder what'll break next.

too cloudy where I'm at to see the alignment

It does but you introduce a lot more complexity and cost to the assembly of your hypothetical PC.

Duly noted. Is it honestly worth it? (In my case, it would be an extra $25 and unknown amount of trouble assembling it)

I'll listen to my favourite Canadian Punk bands today. Anyhow, what do you plan on doing? Do you blow stuff up like we do? If not, what's the point of anything?

If you plan to leave things at stock speeds and whatnot then I'd say it's unnecessary. It adds more complexity and it adds extra points of failure. The pump could be faulty, it could start leaking and the fan could be a dud (fans can be replaced with zero troubles though and aren't super expensive).

When will the tickets go on sale!?! D:

So liquid coolers are more prone to failure than brush-less fans, I take it?

@Luna: That's awesome.

That's not what I meant. I mean it has more parts that can fail, not that they will.

A regular air cooler only has one point of failure which is the fan. A water cooler has the fan, the pump and the reservoir.

Are there any brush-less fans that run silently that you would recommend for $60 or under?

What do you mean, brushless?

The only cooler that I can recommend (because it's the only one I have experience with) is the cooler master Hyper 212+ (I think it's hyper 212 evo now) which is about $35 or so. The fan it comes with can be a tad loud but you can replace it with any other 120mm size fan.

Yeah, we like blowing stuff up for all occasions.

From what I understand, there are three kinds of fans: Brush-less, ball bearing, and sleeved. Supposedly Ball bearing fans last the longest, but are also the loudest. Brush fans are apparently the middle man in durability but are the most silent. I have no idea about sleve fans though...

In a nut shell, I have been told to get a brush-less fan by some of my friends.

huh. I think all I have are ball bearing so I dunno.

anywho, talking with zulu about my script... OH MY GOD, THERE'S A MILLION FUCKING PLOT HOLES IN THIS THAT I DIDN'T SEE BEFORE!!!

Blow up some Geese and show them who's boss.

3 chapters beaten in Mirror's Edge.
5 more to go. Maybe I can beat it this weekend.
