The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

were talking a top OC of about 4.2-4.3Ghz but expect 4.1Ghz. the 1700/X would hit around 3.9-4.0Ghz

So Iā€™ve heard, I also live near a Micro Center so what ever cpu/mobo combo deals they have might also affect my decision when the time comes

Remember how I predicated The Division 2 would be announced this year?

Look:

Oh and official announcement and there be more at e3:

Here is where it get interesting:
The Division 2 could destroy whatever life Destiny 2 may have left. When The Division launched it was awful. In a desperate attempt Ubisoft flew out people who play the Division to talk with them and let them play a test build and worked with them to make the game better. The Division now is leaps better than Destiny 2. It rewards the player for their time.

You may be wonder was I one of those players that helped make the game better? Nope. But I helped with the public test builds and submitted bug reports.

Will The Divison 2 be a buy from me? Probably but not preordering.

Good choice make them earn your money

Im wondering if the Division 2 will have the same charm as a the original. Im wondering if they will pull a ubisoft and completely fuck it up

I beg to differ:

Because the Cryorig R1 ultimate is a thing.

Iā€™m excited to see how the Division 2 will turn out, the first one was really fun after they ironed out all of the issues it had but knowing Ubisoft it could go any way.

prove it with numbers

Canā€™t find the chart that showed it beating the Noctua in every category but noiseā€¦ but thereā€™s this:

And in the charts I saw where it doesnā€™t beat it, theyā€™re so close in performance Iā€™d go with the Cryorig. Because Noctua is ridiculously expensive (yes deservedly soā€¦ but stillā€¦) and everywhere. Given the option I prefer to go with the ā€œunderdogā€ or lesser known brand if itā€™s the same or better quality.

It and the NH-D15 are almost the same price on newegg the Noctua is like $2 cheaper, also all the reviews i found they were within margin of error on almost every test if not every test

Yup, so for me it comes down to what I think looks better and the fact I like to support the little guy when possible.

Seriously, Noctua has the clear market advantage but refuses to change their fans from poop brown (ok they have the industrial fans but that doesnā€™t change the fact it took them forever to even begin to cave on the color aspect).

My case has no window so the fans can be whatever color, except they must have no LEDs

Thatā€™s what I thought at one point but after awhile I started to find it annoying especially if my pc was on at night.

Thatā€™s why I got a Fractal Define R5 no window, itā€™s boring to begin with and Iā€™ll take boring over annoying any day.
