Reciever

Welcome to the Forums :)

Are those texture packs true to form or more in the likeness of whoever made them?

Yeah, I just missed more I suppose on my TU150 case as I bought it thinking it had the door but by the time I made the trip to MicroCenter saw they only had the version with the glass. I dont have the vanity to need to see my components when I am running my PC. Would've liked to have the vent instead. Of course now I have gone full open bench-esque builds for everything so I guess I am being a bit hypocritical here lol

I guess case makers dont like the side window fans anymore. One of the first mods I did was add 2x 120mm fan placements to my Antec 902, its also where I learned that more air in doesnt mean cooler temps. Reversed the fans and watched my temps drop quite a bit for the 4890 XFire I had at the time.

Good Evening Everyone! This guide will be aimed more towards new members or members not familiar with this type of Forum software. On NBR we used to have to request for a name change in a thread made by @Charles P. Jefferies who thankfully facilitated these requests. On this Forum software, we can make these changes on our own via the Account Settings tab. To begin, assuming you are at the home page, direct your attention to the top right of your screen where your Handle (the name you use on the forum) is displayed. Next to it you will notice an arrow, this is to denote a menu being available. Click on it, as highlight below. With that, a number of options will become available, for the purposes of this guide however, we will need to select "Account Settings". As highlighted below. Once within your Account Settings, you will need to direct your attention to the center left side of the screen for the list of options provided there. Direct your attention to "Display Name" as highlighted below. Once you have selected this option, the page will remain but the sub-menu will change to that for altering the Display Name. As can be seen below. Keep in mind that all your previous alias's will still be listed in your profile, so while your public facing identity will change, if anyone looks at your profile they will see your previously listed names. All members will be limited to making 1 name change every 120 days, so do be mindful when selecting your name. If there are any additional questions or critiques, please feel free to forward them to me. Thanks everyone! Chris

Good Evening Everyone! This guide will be aimed more towards new members or those that haven't spent much time of this type of Forum software. Assuming that your starting point is the Forums home page, direct your attention to the top right of the screen where you will find your Handle (the name you use of the forum) along with an arrow next to it, this is to signal that there is a menu present. Click on your handle as highlighted below. You will find a number of options, but for the purposes of this guide, we will need to select "Account Settings" as highlighted below. Direct your attention to the center left pane of the settings options. The option we need to select is "Content View behavior" as highlight below. This will take you to the options available for Content View Behavior, which should look as it does below. Now, you can alter where in the thread the browser will take you based on these settings. However, this function has not proven to be consistent. We had reached out to the Invision Community forums for guidance regarding these issues, we got the extremely helpful "We cant recreate the issue" response. With the only recommendation being, "Use Chrome". Thus, my apologies in advance for future issues regarding this particular scenario. Chris

Good Evening everyone! This will be a short guide aimed primarily at newer members regarding Notification behavior and how to alter it. We have opt-in scenario in play on the forums for the most part, however this can be changed. Assuming your starting point is the forums home page, direct your attention to the top right of the screen, you will see your Handle (the name you use on the forums) with a small down arrow next to it, this is to signal a menu. A list of option will appear, for the purposes of this guide you will need to select Account Settings, highlighted below. After selecting the above, you will need to direct your attention to the center right of the screen under "Other Settings", the option we need is "Notification Settings" which is highlighted below. This will take you to the notification settings and its behaviors. Push notifications work well most of the time but I have sometimes seen that it would be quite a bit slower than real time, maybe 15-20 minutes at worst. Though Im not sure about my browsers compatibility, using Brave or WaterFox primarily. YMMV, test it for yourself. I was surprised when push notification did actually work for my phone, however, but again YMMV. Followed Content is also typically one of the first items members look to alter so this is also a means to change those behaviors here. There are other aspects of the forum that you can alter notification behavior for, but I have only highlighted the above. If you have made it this far you will have already discovered those settings :) Thanks everyone! Any additional questions or critiques please feel free to reach out. Chris

I can vouch for this member having a long time tenure from Notebookreview. I will allow for exceptions for any member I can personally verify. Thank You all and GLWS @triturbo

Welcome back to fold Triturbo! Be sure to check out the NBRchive and if you would like to repost your guides and experiences please feel free to do so :)

I intend to do a few more writeup's for things I have come across. Its probably not good PR for the Admin to admit this but I am likely the least experienced with this software before creating this soft landing for our group. Little things here and there :)

As Aaron44126 had cited (to which I happy to see the notification for such action works, minor victory there) we had a sub-forum for Apple and a few others but we had 0 activity in those sub-forums and so we had removed their slots. That doesnt mean that said content isnt welcomed, but as a fledgling forum with 0 advertising to speak of, we cant have completely dead sub-forums either. If an Apple thread has semi-regular participation we can definitely entertain creating a sub-forum for Apple.

It looks like you may have figured it out or got a tip from another member. Essentially you select the "remove formatting" option above the text box after having pasted your content. At very least this is how I have been resolving that little issue.

At some point, I would like to purchase my own home and I would love to re-purpose the heat dump from my PC's towards the home, an obvious one would be heating the house but maybe during the summer use it to supplement water heating. We already pay for the energy, might as well make it stretch. Though to be perfectly honest, Im a cheapskate for the things I dont want to have to pay for, so that I can splurge where I want to. Most people are like that (I believe) but I may take it a degree further is all. For example, I have been wanting to buy the Leopold FC980M for a few years now, but its 120 USD. I've also been keen on the Code v3 keyboard and the Pok3r for work due to their macro functions they retail I think for 185 and 150 respectively. I purchased neither until I came across them on ebay for 40 and 36 USD respectively. Which reminds me, I have been debating opening a thread for mechanical keyboards. I am sure plenty of people here use them even if the main focus for the forum is for laptops :) Yeah something similar to that :) Regardless of if radiators are essentially housed elsewhere to avoid that heat dump, the components themselves, I would imagine, are still generating some heat that isnt captured by the water. This would make airflow to the components just the extra edge for additional cooling. Of course this is all in my head and have no empirical data to back it up. Though again, way too rich for my pocket book

So then, the heat dump does have some affect on the system? I assume it would be minimal but I know you guys sweat the details for benching (for reasons most implicitly understand, I think).

Much to the irritation of enthusiasts the world over, what sells is what is cheap. 1060 is good enough for those popular esport titles for the most part, if they get the exposure through that vein then (assuming they have the ability to), can release higher performance parts for higher returns. Assuming they can get their drivers in order of course. Price will dictate its adoption, especially these days where GPU's are aplenty.

This will be a simple guide meant more for new comers to the forum in how to change your Theme. This guide will assume your starting position as the default main page as displayed here. Simply scroll to the bottom of the page (or any page) that you are currently viewing. Direct your attention to the option highlighted below. Once this option is selected, the menu will appear with the current options available to the Forum. As you can see, my current option is "Dark - Bravo 6". We have a default option that everyone has seen thus far, but my preference is Dark themes for pretty much anything I do on my PC. Also to add on to @jaybee83 had recently discovered with formatting. If you copy/paste your signature from another source, the forum software will attempt to retain it in totality. Including the background coloring. In short, if you paste content from another source you may still have a black or white background to your text. In order to remove this, you must select this option highlighted below. This should fix any static formatting issues when changing up your signature, or posts in general. We hope to bring more themes in the future, and if possible an NBR theme to pay homage to where we came from as well as maybe a Dark version of that as well. Any questions or critics please feel free to direct them my way and I will facilitate as best as I can. Thanks Everyone! Chris

I was always of the opinion that I would want to water cool in a separate case to then bring the tubing into the primary case where the system is housed to keep the heat dump from the systems themselves. Though testing a scenario is way outside of my pocket books ability to facilitate lol Its been maybe 10 years since I had last watercooled anything :|

Good Evening everyone, This will be a simple guide aimed primarily at new users, considering where and what forum software we came from, this forum is quite different under the hood. The goal for this guide is to show you how to change your signature. As well, please follow forum guidelines for signature size, we do allow for some flexibility of which I will also show one of our better examples. Anyways, lets begin! After having logged into the forum, direct your attention to the top right of your screen where you can see notifications (The exclamation mark is for Mods and Admins). Mouse over your Handle (The name you use within our forums), you'll notice a small arrow next to it, this is to signal to you that there is a drop down menu housed within. Once this menu is open, you will see some options, for the purposes of this guide all we need is to select "Account Settings" as displayed below. Once you have made it to your Account Settings, you will see probably a majority of items of interest regarding the Forums mechanics that are available to you, for the purposes of this guide, please direct your attention to the left pane. And there you have it! You made it to the Signature option under your Account Options. Please observe Forum Rules for the signature, while the old NBR rules still apply here. IIRC this should be limited to 8 lines. We do have some flexibility regarding this but do keep in mind that if it falls outside the scope of what is permitted, we will ask you to revise it. If this is ignored we may have to take more abrasive action. This is a signature from @Maxware79 that has not been hidden via spoiler tag. When the forum was initially created it was a bit unruly. After reaching out, this was the end result. I applaud Maxware79 for being amenable and revising the signature to fit the forums desire but also finding that balance to still display the prized systems. If you copy/paste your signature or post from another source, the forum software will attempt to retain it in totality. Including the background coloring. In short, if you paste content from another source you may still have a black or white background to your text. In order to remove this, you must select this option highlighted below. This will allow for your posts to match the respective themes we have on the forum. Any questions and critique please forward to me and I will address them as best I can Thanks everyone! Chris

Im happy to find more and more people making their way to this forum over time :)

Same -__-, sometimes feels like it will always be that way but ironically, I despise a lacking of purpose as well sooo, striking a balance is I guess the real goal.

For example, see my above post, as I was able to edit in @jaybee83's content into the post above. @Aaron44126 not sure if you already knew about this or not, but I know you appreciate functional awareness.

I added some clarification into the title and the post, the means to this solution is via multi-quote / quote however the main topic being displayed is how to edit in additional quotes into your last post after having submitted the post proper. Essentially, You submit a post and saw that someone may have replied right before you finished your post and you wish to comment on or address without double-posting, for someone reason the standard means of copy/paste didnt seem to jive well in the forum software (at all). Instead Invision community opted for a CTRL + X combination instead of CTRL + C. If this is something I can change I will attempt to do so its just been a crazy busy season this year.

We have a tutorial section here! That I haven't contributed towards yet...

I wish to implore you to make a guide and I will staple it into the next announcement

Yes this is accurate, and an issue that I plan to look into. Took tuesday/Wednesday off next week to finally take a serious look at what I can do to mitigate or eliminate this issue (and others) altogether as editing in a quote response after the post is made is basically unfeasible for the standard user at present. That being said I can do it via moderator tools by merging posts so there has got to be means to facilitate that without elevating perms. That's why I try to strike a balance on that front for now.
