Titan VS 690 though. They're the same price and with the 690 you get two GPUs on one board. imho I'd probably just go for the 690 if I had a choice. The 690 also supports 4 way SLI.

I only bought the non PWM because I was cheap :P Plus Corsair SP120 fans are not PWM either even though it's what most people think of upgrading to with their H100s. ^^

I think I'm just gonna re-sell them and deal with the noisy H100 fans for now.

Fans came today.

They're the wrong ones.

I bought the 12volt NON-PWM fans, which are great but the H100's fan header requires 4pin PWM fans in order to regulate speed. They sill work, I get decent temperatures but they're running at 100% all the time. At least they aren't noisy...

release and renew your IP.

Open Command Prompt and type in "ipconfig /release" without quotations, and then type in "ipconfig /renew"

might be something to do with that

Well, this is a really loving big crock of stuff.

Guys what the forget does this mean? I've googled it and people are saying the 2 fans I ordered are either broken, lost, or they forgeted up somewhere and had to turn back.

I just wanted some god damn static pressure fans, is that too much to ask for UPS?!

The only real reason to buy a mechanical keyboard is for the tappy-tappy.
Which is the reason why I'm going to buy one at some point

i dont like the click :c

how hard are you pressing the key to hear a sound? do you feel any feedback when you press it?

there's a chance they could be mechanical but the one you linked doesn't mention it anywhere

Not all mechanical keyboards have a loud click.

Razer just popularized the loud-ass keyboard with the BlackWidow, which had Cherry Blue switches - the loudest.



This is a rubber dome (or "membrane") key. Rubber domes are the most popular and inexpensive solution for keyboards, but they can become quite difficult to press, they can very easily gum up, and their durability does not compare at all to that of a mechanical keyboard.



This is a cherry blue switch. It has far more tactility than other mechanical switches BUT it's also extremely loud. There are not many mech keyboards sold with Blues because of their loudness, except for the BlackWidow, and a few other brands (like Das Keyboard and Ducky).



This is a cherry red switch.  It's as quiet as a Membrane keyboard but it's very tactile, like the Blue. Reds are very popular in the gaming scene next to Blacks, Browns, and whites.

Spook, got a question for you.



I plan to buy two of those SwiftTech Helix fans (which essentially look the exact same as the Gentle Typhoon fans...) do you already have them since you ordered them, and if so, are they any good + how do you go about doing custom black sleeving on the cables? :3

EDIT: I plan to mount these to my Corsair H100's radiator, and hopefully they're good for liquid cooling solutions.
