The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

At least visually the one from Asus looks visually more refined.

got called in early to work as the morning guy was sick so ended up working 12:20 to about 8:20 instead of my usual 4pm-close, and also going to do so tomorrow (though tomorrow i may stay until close if its busy, otherwise meh).
was strange though… completely dead until getting crazy busy at 6PM until i left, lol.

I have no idea where HWMonitor is getting those other fan speeds from. The only fans plugged directly into the motherboard are the 2x CPU fans and even those are plugged into a single fan header via a splitter. All the case fans are connected to the case’s fan hub which then is plugged directly into the PSU.

Yesterday was crazy, got to work at noon and from 1230 to when I left at 8 it was 110% GO TIME because it was so busy that at one point there was a 2 hour wait and that meant there were so many people waiting that we couldn’t get from the kitchen to the bathrooms or to the beer cooler (which has extras of cheese and things, also hops but that’s for the brewery lol).
Will see how today goes.
Otherwise HI.

when you need a full size room fan to cool dual 2080 tis

Sometimes it’s an advantage if the from customer support doesn’t have any knowledge about PCs.
Managed to get a refund and shipping label for my over 1 year old RAM that’s working fine but now I can get a better kit without having to pay full price, just the difference :smiley:


Hey, and I just got the replacement fan from NZXT in the mail. Estimated time for delivery in the US: 5 business days. Actual delivery time across the ocean: 7 business days. Not bad.

Got invited to another game closed beta… Aaand it’s another online game with servers only open during certain times which means I may or may not even be able to play because work lol.
Oh well.

no clue… been a long time since playing minecraft. I haven’t really played since 1.8

It’s also annoying that it takes about 15 minutes to get into that world because of all the mods it has to load lol.

Also there should be a auto backup feature built into your pack that creates a copy of the world about everything 15-30 minutes

And the happiness from yesterday is already gone -_-
Got an email from Amazon because they’re too stupid to keep track of orders and replacement orders.
DHL is also too stupid to deliver a parcel to the correct address. Throwing it in whatever mailbox and changing the status to ā€œdeliveredā€ is not how it’s done and now I’m the one Amazon wants the stuff back from.

Of course, DHL is also too stupid to track the parcel down. And they haven’t changed the status, so Amazon still thinks it’s been delivered.

It’s probably WAY less trouble to just send the replacement back and order it again.

Gonna call them in the morning. Chat often seems to lead to misunderstandings/confusion (sometimes cause the people on the other end don’t to language good) and of course I got the email a few min before their customer services is closed for the day.


Thanks for letting me rant here. <3
