Alright guys if you had to put fans (ignore the bottom fan) super close to a gpu like this, would you have static pressure or air flow fans? Also would they be intakes or exhausts?
In a case that small - go all SP…
The best thing you can do is balance the intakes and exhausts. Usually negative pressure gives you better thermals, but I still maintain positive pressure with dust filtration is the best overall option…
I personally haven’t notice too much difference between AF and SP. I generally go AF because they are quieter and haven’t seen major temperature differences.
Fan’s on the bottom are always exhaust for me. Otherwise, even with a Filter the case tends to accumulate more dust. So, my optimal “case” would be Front/Top intake, Bottom/Rear exhaust with positive air-pressure overall.
If you only run an exhaust fan, it will draw air from ANYWHERE it can, including around its own shroud if ti is choked off enough. The result can be that it only moves air in its immediate vicinity, and does not pull air from one end of the case to the other.
Running SP over AF because a choked off AF fan is more likely to spin and move nothing than a SP fan.
Interesting takes, we’ll see what works best here. I’m doing a build log and testing multiple fan configurations and running Unigen Heaven to see what makes a difference. will post soon once some more testing is done
I’m currently giving Tidal a go because it’s included for free with my Sprint plan. It’s alright, but there’s one glaring issue which is that I’ve added a bunch of songs to my collection, but they only show up in Tracks. If I go to Artists, nothing is there, so there’s no way for me to just play songs that I’ve downloaded from individual artists as far as I’m aware, aside from making tons of different playlists.
Spotify and Apple Music do this automatically, so I’m considering switching back to one of the two. There’s still things I like and dislike about each of those as well, just not as big of a deal as Tidal.
Also, Siri comes in handy when driving, but she doesn’t play friendly with Tidal. She works great with Apple Music (as she should). Haven’t tried her with Spotify.
Spotify, used it for years, it works and I can find most of my music from there. If there’s something I can’t find from Spotify then SoundCloud and Youtube.
Tested Apple music, wasn’t bad and had some music Spotify didn’t, but it just wasn’t enough for me to change the music streaming service. Plus couldn’t figure out at that time how to get it to work on all of my devices.
