Probably getting a new CPU later this year.
>>344956761
find it pretty weird that 1080 only shows as 4gb when its 8gb, but hey if it works i aint complaining..
>>344956761
>>344956690
why no 144 hz yet?
>>344956945
The ROG PG278Q is 144Hz
>>344956945
>He doesn't know about le 4GB gate
>>344956761
What do you possibly use all that storage for?
>>344957040
but you have it set to 59hz bro, better change that shit right now
>>344956945
>find it pretty weird that 1080 only shows as 4gb when it's 8gb
You have an Nvidia card and this is weird to you?
>>344956945
It's a speccy thing.
GPUZ will show the correct size.
>tfw bottleneck
>tfw terrible frame times
Can't wait to upgrade to a 6700k.
>>344957061
please enlighten me
>>344957083
Everything.
>>344957139
Even if set to 144Hz it shows up as 59Hz in speccy.
Speccy is a piece of shit.
>>344957232
Memes.
The 10XX don't have the 970s retarded issue.
>>344956545
It's not a 1080, but It was a cheap upgrade from a 660ti.
Finally feeling like a part of the PC master race.
Gonna upgrade to dual channel 16gb next.
>>344956545
I need a new fuckin monitor
>>344957269
are you sure? cuz my speccy shows the correct hertz
>>344957269
How long would it take to listen to one Terabyte of music?
>>344957471
well i guess it depends on lenght of the music and the kHz
Reminder from the last time this thread happened.
Please set your fucking ram speed. Half of /v/ apparently doesn't know that you have to do that.
>>344957471
Don't know. I lost my previous 2TB drive full of music, which was neatly organized. This one is just everything thrown onto it, so I don't really listen to it much.
>>344957269
whats the point of that seteup, you can scrap like half of these hdd's
>>344957606
And then I won't have any space left.
Good idea.
>>344957576
reminder that it literally doesn't even matter in terms of system ram
>>344957686
Reminder that if you have an older, overclocked CPU you can gain over 20 frames in CPU heavy titles with fast ram.
>>344956545
>tfw I dont get temperatures lower than 75 while gaming
im just waiting for a smoking hole to appear in my mobo tbqh
>>344957831
Nah m8 it's an AMD chip.
85C means it's operating at chilly temps.
>>344957462
>1080p
>144hz
why
>>344957776
reminder that there are practically no cpu heavy titles
reminder that a $70 pentium dual core processor probably crushes your old, overclocked processor
>>344957269
Are you sure you set it to 144hz? Check your windows and nvidia settings
>>344957928
>>344957831
Also holy fuck do you really need over 1.5v to hit 4.4?
Have future proof build. Feels kind of bad because I can't find any reason to upgrade.
Except RAM maybe.
>>344957940
>source games
>arma
k?
3.2 Ghz Tri-core CPU
500mhz GPU
10MB eDRAM
512MB GDDR3
>>344957938
why not?
>>344957938
why not?
>>344957940
You'll gain 10%+ minimum is stuff like Witcher 3, AssCreed and Tomb Raider.
In terms of performance per dollar, if you have a Sandy or Ivy bridge, fast ram is the way to go.
>>344957938
why in the world not?
>>344958017
eh, probably not but my computer doesnt boot if I change anything in bios anymore and AMD overdrive is sketch af
>>344957684
then will have to delete stuff, which is a good thing because you are obviously hoarding
everthing is onlyine anyway
>>344957947
Yes, I'm pretty sure it works fine, because it has a button on the site to switch refresh rates and speccy just doesn't care.
>>344958120
I don't see the point, wouldnt it be worlds better to have a 1440p 60hz?
1440 is a huge improvment over 1080 IMO
First desktop in 12 years, don't laugh
I have a snibby crab
>>344958190
I mean I had to set it to 144hz through the windows display settings for it to start working, you should check just in case
>>344958165
>everything is online anyway
I sure love to stream low quality garbage. Good to know you have no idea what you're talking about.
>>344958190
check monitor OSD it should show what hz it's running on
>>344957940
>reminder that a $70 pentium dual core processor probably crushes your old, overclocked processor
An overclocked 2500k or 2600k performs pretty favorably with a 6500.
>>344958221
144 is a huge improvement over 60
>>344958221
I'd rather have 144hz desu
>>344958221
>higher resolution is better than 2.5x refresh rate
you must be insane. higher resolution adds basically nothing to the experience of playing a game. refresh completely transforms it
>>344958221
you can't go back from 144 to 60 again, seriously, it is so jarring
better have both though
>>344958269
Any reason you spend extra money on an overclocking board and then didn't spend the extra 30 bucks on an overclockable chip?
The fuck senpai?
>>344958292
Dude, I know how my screen works.
>>344957405
I too upgraded from a 660 ti recently
that card was a trooper
being able to run games a max settings again is nice
>>344956545
Not video games
>>344958279
>low quality
just give it another 5 years, remember what it was like 5 years ago?
streaming? in hd?
>>344957831
I also just noticed, why the fuck does my CPU fan only get to 89% when my taget is 65 degrees and max temps reach 80?? I have a phanteks tc-12dx
>>344958368
>x2 960
woah, double cucked
>>344958465
Streaming anything is still garbage.
>>344958401
you sure? maybe you should check.
>>344958394
I got the CPU for $140 and the board for $90 via eBay and magical newegg sales. Still need to sell my laptop with a 780m in it.
I'm afraid of trying out 144hz.
I don't have a lot of money and only upgraded my GPU after 4 years.
I already can't go back to consoles because of sub 60fps. I'm afraid that if I play at 144hz, I won't be able to afford to feed that framerate in the future and it will ruin 60fps just like 60fps ruined 30fps, leaving me unable to play video-games.
>>344958571
do it bitch
I have another 16GBs of ram that was in this thing but the sticks are in another pc right now
>>344958517
thats not for you to decide
it will come to that point
>>344958668
All that and a 760?
Just need 144hz monitor and a new gpu and I'm set for the next 50 years.
>>344958668
That's a lot of storage senpai
>>344958367
how? Its essentially impossible to see over 80fps and I find myself having trouble noticing the difference above 50. Am I missing something about refresh rate?
>>344958367
Went from 1080 to 1440 earlier this year and would never go back, 1080 feels tiny now
>>344957938
multiplayer fps games???
>>344958725
No, it is for me to decide. That's the point. I don't like to stream anything besides live events and even then I'll download a better recording later.
>>344958726
yeah I'm going to nab a 1060 when they come out
I've just been buying different parts at different times
>>344958571
it doesn't matter, you need at least 60-72 fps and it will look great
you don't need exactly 144fps to enjoy 144hz refreshrate
>>344958571
get gsync monitor.
if you get 90 fps or something, you still get 90hz with no tearing. if you get 78 fps, you still get 78hz no tearing.
better than 60 is better than 60. even 70 hz is a gigantic improvement on 60. you wouldn't think so, but it's literally like 17% more frames..
>>344958858
Look at the graphic you dip, I never said anything about 24 fps.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2826883/
>>344958571
I play rocket league at 144 FPS and I went to my friends house and played it there but he only has a 60Hz monitor and playing it at 60 FPS felt like I was watching a stop motion film
>>344958887
>"I don't have a lot of money and only upgraded my GPU after 4 years."
I'm sure he's gonna just be racing to buy a 144hz gsync m8
>>344958748
60 fps- 16ms
144fps-4-5ms
144hz lag- 3ms
60hz lag-25-30ms
it's about responsiveness, games feel better, also you do not need vsync at any fps at 100hz+.
Hopefully will be able to afford some more RAM and a new card soon.
Anyone knows how to lower cpu temps?
>>344958221
framerate>resolution
If you've never used 144hz before, I guarantee you will circle your mouse around your desktop in awe for a good 5 minutes before even trying a game
>>344958451
I want to use your scrote as a punching bag m8
Up up down down left right left right b a b a start select
>>344958814
now you sound like those people who didnt want to give up windows xp
upgrading very soon.
>>344959053
cpu fan?
>>344959053
forgot pic
>>344959095
Okay, so streaming will get better, but storage will also get cheaper. Get fucked.
>>344958664
I went 40 inch monitor at 4k.
No regrets whatsoever, but I do play slower paced games.
>>344959095
Speaking of which.
Any of you guys have a Sandy Bridge Gene-Z board with Windows 10?
Heard some that there were some compatibility problems and the deadline is coming up.
>>344959160
Have you ever reapplied thermal paste ?
>>344959113
to what? gpu maybe, everything else is fine for at least a year or two
>>344959062
I have, didn't notice shit. Resolution on the other hand....
That, and the fact that the majority of people (including me) have rigs that can only run shit like CS:GO above 60
>>344959243
Needs fast ram, obviously.
>>344959238Do I have to do that
How much would I have to spend to get a gaming pc that can run ultra 1080p 60 fps like a champ that can also last awhile?
>>344959190
fuckkk whens the deadline? I upgraded from 7 but installed the wrong version (Pro instead of Home) with the win10 tool, and I'm pretty sure my windows isn't activated. will I get fucked after the deadline?
>>344959062
I remember playing the first Mass Effect when it came out on a toaster laptop well under the minimum specs at 240p with a ton of miscellaneous settings to improve speed, got it to a consistent ~20fps. By the end it looked like a N64 game. I wish I had screenshots. I don't know why I'm telling you this.
>>344959316
yes
>>344958748
you made the wrong decision based on a study that is either incorrectly conducted or doesn't say what you think it says.
japanese researchers proved in the 90s that basically any human can discern steps up to 300hz with ease.
you're basically telling everyone with a 144hz monitor that games aren't easily twice as smooth when they are.
did you really think you outthought a whole industry, that you were just smarter than everyone else who doesn't understand waht they're talking about and can't adequately evaluate their own experiences?
"i'm the only person who isn't a sheep" syndrome.
>>344959321
get yourself an ssd yo, you can find them for dirt cheap nowadays
>>344959398
I haven't done that since I bought this computer, about 4 years ago
>>344959238
Not him, but fuck taking the goddamn 212 off my CPU.
Easier to just replace the whole motherboard+CPU and buy an H7.
>>344959360
16 days and 3 hours left
>>344959316
its a possibility
you could get a better cooling system, whether it be getting a better heatsink fan or go water cooling
>>344959190
it's other way around. you wouldn't be able to sue new cpus with older windows
>>344959427
Projecting much? I never said anything remotely close to what you put in my mouth. I'm saying, from my experience, 144hz is an expensive gimmick. Maybe some people can see a difference, but I sure can't and the science seems to back that up.
Can I have a source on those japanese researchers?
>>344959316
Not unless you want better temps m8.
Type teksyndicate thermal paste in Google and watch the video on how to correctly apply it
>>344959494
but will anything happen? I used to have the Windows not activated watermark in my bottom right corner but now its gone yet nothing's changed. What do?
>>344959524
I think the issue is that some older boards aren't very well supported these days.
A ton of 1155 guys are reporting stuff like dead USB slots, no sound and various other driver glitches.
>>344959296
seriously irrelevant, what you get is about 3-5%
I ahve same RAM and cpu, get almost exactly same fps numbers as monster 4ghz ram benchmark rigs
>>344959438
Thanks for the suggestion, but it's a laptop and if I take it apart to put an SSD in then I void the warranty.
>>344959626
...Yeah
Just 3.5%
>>344959557
>but I sure can't and the science seems to back that up.
The science doesn't back it up. You either didn't read the study or didn't evaluate what it says or don't have the education to understand what it says.
>As with the tactile measurements, both threshold sensitivity and gap detection were measured for visual stimuli. The measure of threshold sensitivity was essentially a measure of flicker sensitivity. Flicker sensitivity was determined by flickering a light around a constant mean luminance. Flicker frequencies of 2, 4, 8, and 32 Hz were used. The depth of modulation around the mean luminance was adaptively varied to achieve a threshold contrast value in a modified two temporal interval task. Gap detection was measured by presenting one standard and two test intervals, one of which had a temporal gap in it. The width of the gap was adaptively varied to find a threshold gap size.
Strobe flickering is not the same thing as watching a continuous moving image. Do you know much cognitive psychology? I'd wager you don't.
Saying you can't see the difference is a lie to back up the fact that you tried to call everyone else stupid and wrong. Maybe you played a 144hz monitor set to 60hz. If you've ever even seen one in reality.
>>344958505
for real, can someone gib advice? Why doesn't my fan work at 100%?
>>344959354
i5/480/16gbram =somewhere around 500-600 if you do not skimp on quality components if you do it can go somewhat lower
>he wasted money on an unlocked processor

>>344959675
>>344959626
No real improvement or anything
>>344959560
And don't do it the Kentucky way
>>344959020
explain to me the lag bit? Isn't that just a monitor thing not tied to refresh rate or am i getting it wrong?
>>344959752
>fucking around with bus speed
Not worth the headache.
Would rather spend the extra 50 bucks total and overclock in 5 minutes.

GPU's fine but I CPU is starting so show its age.I streamand video edit alot and this setup is starting to struggle with current games when streaming and video editing So im just going to get a new mobo, SSD, and ram because I might as well.
4 to 5 years is a pretty good life anyways.

Still waiting on that japanese study as well

I didn't think this through. At least I can shitpost on /v/ about it now.
BTW what is up with that windows 10 messenger
it now threatens me that i can only upgrade till the end of july
is this legit?
>>344960027

I'm not stupid.
That temp is high because I have a garbage tier bin that needs too much voltage.

>no rebuttal
>bunch of meme shit trying to act like you didn't get completely blown out
you don't even understand anything about how human visual processing works. you don't even know what the gestalt system is. no, i took cognitive psychology at graduate level actually.
yikes. kids get destroyed then just fall back on memes. it's better to not respond. everyone can see the difference. you decided 144hz is not worth it and then tried to find a study to support you, the study does not support you, the study is about detection threshold for light strobing.
will i get fucked if i upgrade pirated windows 7 to windows 10?
>>344959690
144hz is a meme. Enjoy your screen tearing.
>>344960149
you don't need bleeding edge hardware to run bleeding edge software fuckface
I also got this shit for dirt cheap and it still performs on par with newer stuff
new =/= good
I normally have a 660ti, but the caps blew on it and I'm waiting to see if a rx480 is going to be a good investment

>>344960240
being this stupid
>>344958394
you can overclock all skylakes, you can't modify FSB without a K processor though but because most new motherboards include their own clock its possible, my 6500 is at 4.4ghz and is about 30 points above a 4690k
>>344960227
no, windows WANTS you to upgrade from pirated 7 to licensed 10.
The question is, why do you think they want you do to that anon?
>>344960187
why would you upgrade from sandy bridge? are you stupid?

>>344960312
Because it's finally starting to show its age.
It's had a god-tier run, but come Kaby, it will very much be time to upgrade.
>>344960224
ouch man you really convinced me I guess I really got BTFO by the internet argument master. Did you take a class on that as well?
Point is, show me any shred of scientific evidence that supports your opinion
>>344960345
the fuck are you talking about?
unless nvidia jews drivers in the future that should be good for another 3 years
>>344960285
>I'm waiting to see if a rx480 is going to be a good investment
people are actually glossing over the voltage thing and not realizing it's one of the worst shit shows a company ever tried to do to their customers in the pc arena.
hint: when a company can only produce a card HALF as fast as the opponent's flagship card, while having to overvolt it to reach higher clock than it was designed for, the company is *fucking dead*
this is literally the last generation of amd video cards dude, you realize that right
so /v/ do i win an award for the shittiest PC?

>>344958401
i had a friend exactly like you. bought a 120hz monitor and was bragging about it for weeks. when I came by this guy had it set to 60hz the entire time. the button on the screen wont change the hertz in windows
>>344960210
I'm sorry to offend you then anon I forget intelstep is a thing sometimes, can you tell me what has bottlenecked you by your cpu recently? or are you just looking to squeeze maximum average frames with a newer cpu?
>>344960290
g-sync only works in nvidia works games
>>344960297
>>344960409
30 and 60fps are the standard for v-sync, and without v-sync you will almost always get screen tearing. I've used a QNIX 110hz monitor for years and there is screen tearing in 90% of games.
>>344960534
>the button on the screen wont change the hertz in windows

>g-sync only works in nvidia works games
what the fuck are you talking about gsync is between the video output and the monitor its completely fucking agnostic to the software
holy shit the lies you people spread to each other and then believe in your desperation to hate x company
> I've used a QNIX 110hz monitor for years and there is screen tearing in 90% of games.
yes because you don't have fucking gsync or freesync lol
>>344960458
quit memeing, it's a good card and it does what they intended it to do
>>344960743
it's an inferior card to the 1060 by a large margin and when you put amd shit in your system you deal with amd problems.
you have been warned. again. don't buy their garbage.
2TB HDD died recently
>>344960685
I really need a Skylake-E i7 for DDR4, my current CPU just needs to be retired...
i am using a 750ti still and couldnt convince my self to by a 1070. there is simply no game that i want to play requires a 1070 but i also want to card as well for future.
>>344960458
I'm just waiting to see how good aftermarket cards are and how the linux drivers mature
>>344960561
>can you tell me what has bottlenecked you by your cpu recently?
It's less a bottleneck and more a frame time issue. Stuff like Syndicate and Witcher 3 can have some really nasty 2-3 frame dips.
Only true bottleneck I've encountered ( 100% CPU with <100 GPU) was when I was trying to run the damn gameworks shadows in Asscreed.
By the way, I've got the CPU at 4.6 all the time. Fuck step speed.
>>344960796
>it's an inferior card to the 1060
yeah, right, because nvidida certified benchmarks said so
>>344960796
all I'm hearing is someone that's buttmad that they bought a 970 without knowing about the memory problem
>>344960819
I'll buy it senpai.
The 4790k performs the same or better than a 6700k in gaming.
>>344960727
I don't hate nvidia at all, will probably buy a 1070 at some point, but g-sync only works in games that support it. That's a fact, you can google it.
A 144hz monitor without freesync/gsync outside of a game that doesn't support freesync/gsync will have screen tearing. Not all 144hz monitors have freesync/gsync either.
>>344960224
Assuming that you're talking about https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_psychology, why don't you explain what this has to do with frame rate?
Because it looks like fucking nothing.
Just did a upgrade a few weeks ago on a few things. Outside of maybe doing SLI when it is cheaper, I don't think I am going to do anything else to this PC for at least 4-5 years.
>>344960727

>>344961145
I mean, it's better than a new i3.
But if you have a 1070 or 1080, you should consider upgrading quite soon. Without a decent OC, you're leaving performance on the table.
>>344961016
Using a AIO cooler on it, been pretty great.
The sucky part is my GTX 1080 can't overclock worth shit, though. My 980 Ti was a great overclocker, but this one...not so much.
>>344961145
I used a core2quad to play overwatch the other day and it was fine
the performance difference between sandy bridge and skylake is a good 30-40%, but for video games you don't need much
Maybe I should build a new desktop.

The 1080 is pushed pretty hard from the factory all ready.
I know that the 1070 can push about 10-15% before it shits the bed. I've got mine to 2050mhz stable.

That's like saying that a Honda is good for 120mph because that's what the top speed is.
It's not healthy for it to sit there. That heat will also kill any sort of GPU boost and shorten the life of the card.

Anon.
For some people it doesn't matter because they have low-tier systems that don't benefit, or they lack the ability to overclock.
But seriously, you have a 4790k and a 1080.
Why the fuck are you running 1066 ram.
>>344962921
speccy can't into accurate RAM speeds
>>344962986

I know it tends to report half speed because it's coded like shit, but I don't recall it reporting that half speed incorrectly.

CPU is running at 4.3GHz
>>344964148
Was it not stable at something like 4.5/4.6?
>>344964203
Actually it wasn't even stable at 4.3GHz before. Just changed the core clock a few days ago back to 4.3 and now it seems to be working fine with no BSODs. I don't know what was acting up, didn't seem to be my CPU though.
>>344964498
Might have just lost the silicon lottery.
It happens.
>>344964634
Nah, I think it might be GPU related. Ever since that new Crimson driver went live all the problems I had with my rig are gone, including some weird artifacts I sometimes encountered when browsing the web on my 2nd monitor.
>>344964807
GPU shouldn't be affecting your overclock stability.
Who else fell for the AMD build meme?
>>344964930
I know, that's why I think it didn't have anything to do with my CPU in the first place.
Whatever, it seems to be working fine now and I might go up to 4.5/4.6 in the near future and see how that plays out.
just put in 8gb ram today, feels nice to have 16gb, need another HDD though. RX480 would be good too, then I'm set for a few years

>>344974058
I've been thinking about upgrading to a better CPU, but I fear I'll have to change mobo as well and I'll end up in a slippery slope where I end up changing everything. And I'm on a tight budget here.
>>344974881
Well /v/, I have now ordered my living room VR rig, how'd I do?
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/z7cV6X
Some of the parts are left-over spares, such as the samsung 840 and the 5TB WD Black. I'm taking a 980 Ti out of pic related to throw in the new guy for now until 1080 Ti's come out at which point I'll return little bro back to his home.
>>344975294
Didn't really mean to quote >>344974881
but on that note if you're on a budget you could always do a Xeon setup if you're really behind the times on CPU. Better than fucking AMD nonsense and costs less too.
>>344975449
Will it be compatible with my stuff, though?
>>344969551
Still means that homie with the 4790 and the 1080 is using slower ram than most laptops.

I think something is wrong with my ram
>>344976830
The mobo is fine.
But you have a locked i5. In a board designed for overclocking. Why do you people always do this.
>>344976895
What speed is the ram you bought.
Right now, it's running at a 1600mhz effective rate.
I built this about 4 months ago with my NEETbux. It originally had a 960 but I upgraded to a 970 when one went on sale for super-cheap. 8 GBs of RAM and the 480 GB SSD were added after the original build as well.
Overall, it's okay. I may replace the CPU with an i7-4790 because I use VirtualBox a lot and would like to be able to stream games for Steam friends, but who knows. I'm not sure if it'd be worth it.
I still need to sell the 960. It's the 2 GB EVGA SSC one. I also need to reapply the thermal paste for the cooler (got a 212 EVO which is completely pointless when running at stock but it cost barely more than a chocolate bar so I thought why not, I can use it in a future build).
>>344977020
1600mhz, some friend told me I have to check the MOBO settings
>>344977101
Your friend is an idiot and your ram is running at the speed it is supposed to.
>>344977020
> In a board designed for overclocking
damn wish I had known that too, it was my first build so its my fault though to be fair I haven't really seen a need for overclocking and the advantages of it might just go over my head anyway. The Mobo wasn't that expensive anyway
>>344977194
At least you can upgrade to a 4790k in the future, which is pretty much the best CPU for gaming, especially in older games.
Can't remember if I upgraded the video card after I got the 4590 or not. Still pretty crap because I bought it with my NEETbux
I also have an old keyboard that has severe input delay, and a mouse that has a spastic MW and an almost non functioning left click. On a 16-inch monitor, using a 20-something year old stereo as speakers.Life is nothing but suffering.
>>344959062
>If you've never used 144hz before, I guarantee you will circle your mouse around your desktop in awe for a good 5 minutes before even trying a game
This is exactly what I did when I overclocked my CRT to 178hz, Doom and Quake felt more real than real life.
>>344959062
>If you've never used 144hz before, I guarantee you will circle your mouse around your desktop in awe for a good 5 minutes before even trying a game
I had a 144 Hz monitor once and it was really nice, but after 2 years of no vidya and going back to 60 Hz I don't miss it.
Alright.
This is rustling my autism way too much. Why did so many of you buy a locked CPU with an overclocking board?
Brehs help
Do I splash out £410 on a Zotax 1070 Extreme or £250 on a Sapphire RX480 Nitro
>>344977542
>Why did so many of you buy a locked CPU with an overclocking board?
Because the Z97 model of an H97 motherboard usually costs no more than £10 extra (and even then that's rare unless you're looking into the meme-tier price bracket) and can provide additional resale value, so why not?
A lot of the time I've found H97/H170 boards to be more expensive than the Z ones because they're less popular.
>>344960189
Same. And look at my cool temps

>>344959062
Can confirm.
>>344977542
Got the mobo cheap and I live in a dusty hot shithole so overclocking causes fire.
>>344977809
Is it normally clocked so low?
>>344977772

They are fine
>>344978027
38c on SSD is not fine. It should be below 30c.
>>344977975
its idle 20 x 215 = 4.3 ghz
>>344978116
It's FINE. Besides, it's an SSD. If you don't like those temps, the strap it to the side of your case or some shit.
>>344978196
It's a makeshift solution. The case just sucks at moving the air properly through the case and it gets trapped on the HDD/SSD department unless I air it out. I can spike at 50c if I don't air it out regularly.
>>344978257
>50c
ok that's too high
Get on my level faggotrons
>>344978317
>Intel HD Graphics on a Penitum
Excellent.
>>344978282
That happens if I don't keep the front door of the case open, which makes the front intake fans get BLOCKED and thus not work at all. Who designed this piece of shit? Fuck you coolermaster.
