I’ve not tried 140mm versions but currently have the Noctua A12x25 fans, and have used the A12x15s previously. Not found anything better tbh.

Can I recommend them if I've never fitted them?

Thermalright Tl-d14 Non-standard 140mm Computer Case Cpu Cooling Fan Rgb Pwm Quiet S-fdb Bearing Industrial-grade Fan - Fans & Cooling - AliExpress

Great airflow, super quiet, controllable RGB.
Have to get them off AliExpress as they don't sell them in the UK.
See my post about the Thermalright fans above ^^I’ve not tried 140mm versions but currently have the Noctua A12x25 fans, and have used the A12x15s previously. Not found anything better tbh.
If you want the same airflow but a bit less noise than the Lian Li in the futures then they're the ones.Too late, I went for the Lian Li items! Thanks for the info though mate - might come in useful for someone else or for the future. Cheers!
Nice, but I don’t like having my PC flashing like a rainbow when it’s on.See my post about the Thermalright fans above ^^

10CFM more than the Noctua but a bit louder.
However it took a good few weeks to get them.
Not sure why they're not for sale in the UK when they're possibly the best fan around!
They do a plain version too.Nice, but I don’t like having my PC flashing like a rainbow when it’s on.
The industrial Noctuas shift a lot of air, they are big bois! But also a bit louder than other PC fans. However if you game with headphones you probably wouldn't notice the difference.No RGB, industrial Noctuas and filters full of dust here. 💪
I’m not surprised they keep things cool running at 7600RPM 😅The industrial Noctuas shift a lot of air, they are big bois! But also a bit louder than other PC fans. However if you game with headphones you probably wouldn't notice the difference.
We use these in work for cooling some high performance electronics. They shift double the air of the highest performing Noctua industrial fan. Not quiet at full chat but unbelievable performance for a small 140mm fan.
I reckon you could make a drone fly with them 😄I’m not surprised they keep things cool running at 7600RPM 😅

You can make a VTOL PCSo you're saying there's an upgrade. Not sure, it's quite breezy under the desk already. 😅
Well, that was a freakin' nightmare... I had to unbuild a fair bit of my PC setup to get to fan headers in order to remove the old fans, installed the new setup, and found my system was completely dead.
I thought I might have accidentally knocked (or inadvertently loosened) some connectors so went through each cable/connector and checked them. Reseated the RAM. Reseated the GPU. All the usual stuff. Nope, still nothing. I then started to worry a little as I suspected the motherboard was dead. Turns out, it's the brand new PSU I've just bought. It has a fault and it is being returned, the replacement sent out to me shortly. Thankfully, I've got a couple of backup PSUs that can power the system... but I had to change the cables! I also could not be bothered going through the process of cable management so they are jumbled (but functional) until the replacement PSU arrives.
The fans themselves are very good quality - feeling solid and with a nice weight to them. The daisy-chaining is cool and really helps keep cable clutter to a minimum. I did have an additional hour of faffing as one of the cables was about 15mm too short for my particular setup hence I had to move the hub controller and a few other cables around (again).

The only other issue I had was not having a spare internal USB 9-pin header on my motherboard for one of the hub connectors as the single 9-pin header I do have is being used by the CPU cooler/radiator/fan. I disconnected that CPU cooler, found a spare micro-USB cable, routed it outside to an external USB connector - and thus freed up the internal header for the fan controller!

Please help me - I don't want to turn into one of those people... 🫣
Rivatuner f**king Statistics Server, you absolute cuntrag of a program 🤬Any gurus or wizards who can help me before I throw this f**king PC out of a window?
Everything was working perfectly until about 10 days ago when I started getting weird crashes after a Windows update.
I go to launch a game, and it thinks about it for a second, then as soon as the icon appears on the taskbar/game appears in task manager it immediately crashes.
So far it only seems to affect games that are opened via a launcher like Steam or Epic, but even happens when I go to the .exe and try to open from there.
It's not game specific either, as I can run a game fine through Steam but it immediately crashes if I try to launch it through Epic, obviously there are only a small number of games that I happen to own on both (thank you free games on Epic!)
The crash log shows the same error every time, the only thing that changes is the name of the app that crashes.View attachment 1670636
I've tried updating my GPU drivers thinking they might have been corrupted by the windows update but nothing changed. I've tried using the sfc/scannow thing in command prompt, along with some other ones like dism checkhealth scanhealth and restorehealth. All of them did nothing.
Can I just manually delete the d3d9.dll and let windows sort it out itself? Or is there something else I can try?
I’ve had to install an older version in the past to stop it from messing with things.Rivatuner f**king Statistics Server, you absolute cuntrag of a program 🤬
False alarm lads, I was about to install Linux and start shaving my legs but it's sorted now and I can play games again

I can't even remember what it does tbh, I know I installed it alongside Afterburner but apart from that I'm drawing a blank. Stumbled across a Reddit post from 7 years ago where someone mentioned a similar issue after about 2 hours of messing around 🤣I’ve had to install an older version in the past to stop it from messing with things.
Anyone played lethal company? Perfect game to load up blind with a few mates and spend hours laughing. Really good fun, even better with a mod for more than 4 players. Best £8 I've spent in a long while.
Very cool. I’ve been running the white versions since late last year. I went for the unicorn vommit look though:

I personally don't get the hate for RGB. I think it looks fantastic.
Hits a bit too close to home does it?I just find it abit distracting. Also I have absolutely zero interest seeing inside of a computer.
I've checked for firmware updates and I'm fully up to date apparently. I had this issue when I first connected everything, and the TV couldn't output HDR and 4k60 at the same time, but after speaking to the cable manufacturer they suggested that my GPU might not be outputting enough power (it's a very long active cable). One USB power adapter later and the TV immediately received signal and had no issues with bandwidth etc. fast forward a few months and the issue of no signal being received started happening again, coincidentally when I'd been messing around with display settings. When the TV does work it's flawless so I'm leaning towards Windows/TV rather than cable.@G. Brzęczyszczykiewicz
Have you tried a different cable and checking for firmware updates on the TV, mate? It sounds like a rather strange issue you've got there...
I would try swapping the cable over but it's 15m long and I'd have to dismantle my skirting boards to get to it 🤣@I’mnottypingthatfuckingmessout
Definitely try swapping the cables between your monitors and see if the issue moves from one monitor to the other.
This.I just find it abit distracting. Also I have absolutely zero interest seeing inside of a computer.
