rory so useless

 

[Volotaire]

EVO 212 is indeed terrifying, like nearly every heatsink.

EDIT: Red labeled USB's are USB 3.1 bytheway.

EDIT2 : Oh, it seems not. They're 'super charge'.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Dan has legitimately got good at this game within the hour. Good job dude!

Game of skill!

 

[Data West]

Maybe Regina should sit in on the next Elusive Target

 

[robotrock]

My SSDs are just sitting/dangling in my case.

Mine too. I ripped an SSD from a laptop and shoved it in my PC, but it's waaaay smaller than it needs to be.

bought a mount for it once but the SSD was still too small for it so I gave up

 

[imBask]

and now THE Will Smith is calling omg this UPF, i'll have to catch up the first hour

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Will Smith is communicating from the Virtual World!

 

[Diancecht]

This is a work of art.

 

[Hoo-doo]

This stream is a beautiful, beautiful thing. Even the fresh prince is here.

 

[dogpowerd]

I aspire to be "Like a drunken master without being that drunk" in all aspects of my life.

 

[styl3s]

My SSDs are just sitting/dangling in my case.

I ended up taping mine to the inside of the case.

While everyone is talking about PC do good reasonably priced full tower cases with modular HDD/SDD's exist? I'm ordering my cpu/mb/cooling/ram, psu and case in the new few weeks and plan on putting multiple drives in over the course of a few months after and it would be nice to slide it in and be done.

Yep, those cases are very common. Many don't have SSD slots though.

Do you mean drive bays that are slide in? Any good modern PC case will have them for 3.5 inch and a few for 2.5 inch. Some mATX cases also have additional places to exploit space. For example, the fractal design node 804 has a screw on SSD part at the bottom so you can have an extra drive at the bottom.

 

[Gilzor]

By the Moonlight Shadow...

You beautiful person. This brought back so many memories. I miss The Fast Show.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

We're on track to have this PC build last 4 hours.

 

[dogpowerd]

Is that an R3 case?

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Good, they haven't forgotten the standoffs, which was their only actual hurdle to overcome.

[EDIT -

Haha I knew one person would get it! ]

 

[Piston Hyundai]

yeah Rorie the announcer in DDR said "motherfucker"

 

[Technosteve]

stream just became art

 

[pirata]

Anyone here going to the meet-up in Austin with Drew and Danny? I wonder how many people are going to show up...

 

[sixghost]

My Fractal R4 didn't have designated SSD slots, but you could just screw them into the middle of the HDD slots. It looks a little weird, but it works.

 

[NightOnyx]

This stream is beautiful!

 

[Hoo-doo]

I remember going from my ancient Antec 300 case to a modern Phanteks and being blown away at how easy it was to have good cable management in a proper case like that.

My Antec was just a big jumble of wires and loose-hanging SSD's, but the new case came with dedicated locking mechanisms and smart cable management. It's so, so worth it.

I'll be there!

Yeah my stupid-ass NZXT case had those too, which I opted not to use because I'm lazy.

Yeah, the one I made back about 7 years ago had me mismanaging the grounding and having it shut down without warning; had to have it understood and fixed via professionals. That's been my only snafu of that calibur *knocks on wood*

 

[Rainmaker]

I love this mess of a stream

 

[KingKong]

oh good, they got the port cover. I forgot to put it in last time I built my PC and had to take the mobo out which was not fun

Since it worked fine after and no damage was done, you were probably 99% of the way there and the pros over-stated the seriousness of the problem. Probably just had a component loose or the standoffs weren't in right (causing the board to short against the case).

 

[Hoo-doo]

At that point I would have said fuck it and leave it open.

Spoiler

As I did with my first PC build

 

[PandaShake]

This UPF is amazing

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Will they be applying their own thermal paste? That's another potential game ender.

pre applied to cooler

[Sleeping Lesson]

pre applied to cooler

Ah, righto. Would have been fun to see them try though.

 

[The Dear Leader]

This looks like some sort of Satanic script on the NeoGaf dark theme.

 

[Hoo-doo]

The water cooler? I thought Jeff already got his nasty finger oils all over the conductive plate of that thing.

 

[Volotaire]

It should be pre-applied and if they wanted to remove it, they would need some special cleaning solution (I'm not sure what the solution actually comprises of but I know Artic have a cheap one).

 

[Teddified]

echo

 

[Rainmaker]

that echo really made it feel like a very old basement chaos stream

 

[The Dear Leader]

Some 90% rubbing alcohol and a coffee filter.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

What was that? Was that a toilet flush?

 

[Teddified]

oh god was the mic on in the bathroom.

 

[robotrock]

Had no idea the M2 SSDs existed before this stream. mindblowing stuff

They're crazy fast but the standards are a mess at the moment.

[Twin Tails]

He didn't mute him ha

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I didn't get an M2 SSD in my latest SSD purchase, but I just can't fathom needing better read or write speeds. Load times in games are almost nonexistent as it is.

 

[Jintor]

that closeup on dan is my next inktober drawing isn't it

Oh it was; just some wires touching things they shouldn't. They went to braiding with some actual talent and it ran just fine (and still does for my niece).

This looks like some sort of Satanic script on the NeoGaf dark theme.

Huh. Sadly, I didn't have time to fish thru my collection for a scan. I wonder why they did it that way.

 

[robotrock]

Is that sound Rorie mentioned just the 970 coil whine
