New lappy's shiny guts with new ssd. There was no ssd screw so I borrowed one from a pcb.

And the specs.

This thing is way better than I initially expected + after watching some YouTube reviews. Worth some good money picking it up lightly used and still has almost 2 years of warranty.
Now I guess I need some time to make the correct microphone settings + get used to the THX Spatial Audio in-game.

Two items. First is a new Motorola G Play smartphone, and the second is a pre-order for a Yamaha CD-S303 compact disc player for my stereo system.

I still have 3 of these 1600 rpm fans in a box here, they were too noisy to me at that speed, I bought them in non-pwm sometime ago so i could use them with the built-in fan controller of my case...

They move air though...

I've just installed them with the plastic/rubber anti-vibration mounts. I only realised afterwards that I can't use my case's magnetic dust filters this way. Oh well... :roll:

First impressions: they're extremely silent! I'm using them with my motherboard's standard PWM setting controlled by motherboard temp. The standard ones bottom out at about 200 rpm (I've never seen such a low fan rpm in my life), and the high speed ones at about 400. Combined with 0 rpm vga fans, a 0 rpm psu fan and the Shadow Rock LP on the CPU, the computer is virtually silent at idle. Not bad.

Can't wait to see load temps and noise!

If you're from Indonesia then this brand shouldn't be too rare. It's quite common over here in my country actually.

I'm very sensitive in fan noise since I have my PC at about 50cm near me on my desk, I'm also using PWM fans now.

yeah, but mostly people prefer like tplink, asus or tenda, some prefer dlink and so far i have no experience with totolink router
i know as low end router you can't expect too much but for mid traffic it performs pretty well

True, those are more well-known brands, I agree.
If it works for you then that's great, it's a decent brand that is working to expand its influence as far as I know.

All though tp-link does have its own issues I've found them reliable especially compared to d-link who has yet to produce a router that has lasted me more than 18months totolink pops up on my online marketplace time to time here in Asia bit I'm yet to try anything by them.

D-Link used to be good as far as I can remember, however nowadays I might just buy something from TP-Link tbh.

They outsourced production and it went down the pan where as TP-Link produce themselves and for other companies. D-link still seem to have the advantage when it comes to performance but as I said reliability is shocking.

It's Christmas Eve

My pc is roughly the same distance and I've tested so many fans, both 3 and 4 pin, the choice is always 3-pin. Many if not all 4-pin (PWM) have this chrunching (or is it moaning?) sound at low rpm, that drives me nuts. But to each there own. :peace:

Mines about 20cm from where i sit, pretty quiet.

I'm happy to report that these be quiet! fans make absolutely no noise at low rpm. I have to look at my PC to see if they're still spinning.

On the negative side, they're not cheap.

Deleted member 24505 · Oct 4, 2021

Idle my fans run at about 600-700 rpm

Kovoet · Oct 4, 2021

I'm cheating I know. But tomorrow it's me and the wiring.

ThaiTaffy · Oct 4, 2021

So I waited just under 12hours for my delivery slot today, pacing round the house muttering to myself and looking at stuff I would like online. At one point my wife overheard me say "I could make that easy" obviously I was annoying her so she said "go on then and leave me alone" poor women didn't realize it was a 10minute job it's not pretty but it works.

A quick home made battery eliminator for my digital camera, an old usb power cable, a stick of nylon,2 screws and some heatshrink.
Anyway it came at 8pm
