Anybody else??
You can FEEL your computer?
You know like...
If the poor thing is working too hard to do something and the fans are all loud, it kinda pains you a little bit?
Yep, the computers are akin to horses and vehicles that take you into the virtual world.
I like temps of 78 or so in the house, as discussed on other threads...
When I play a game and have it recording in the background with OBS, this gaming PC's fans get loud.
Intermittently just seem like they have to work pretty hard.
I feel like in order to make things better I'd have to crank the air down to 65 or some shit and point a fan right at the PC.
LMFAO.
Neither things are gonna happen...
I really just hope it doesn't blow.
Its funny you say that I woke up the other day no internets. (You would probably be happy about that)
Checked normal stuff nothing wrong hrrmmm wtf?
My router had lack of power due to the adapter cable being deteriorated.
I instantly just like new that was it I dusted it off gave it a new power pack and boom.
I mean seriously, how long can those fans go and how long can the PC maintain that sorta work without shitting out??
In the same token, should I really take it easy on the PC??
Because I bought this fucker to get jiggy with it to games and record everything, stream stuff, etc. and I dunno...
Part of me just wants to run it til the wheels fall off, but the other part of me is like agh, what if something goes wrong??

I feel a pull towards certain things. I also treat "her" haha, with respect and make sure she's clean and well fed with
updates, security, physically clean and I LOVE giving her upgrades to her hardware. I'm pretty sure she knows I like her
and how she helps me in life a lot.
I do feel a slight "twinge" if someone puts their fingers where only mine should be though so maybe I have feelings for her/it?
Master, you're so damn fucking poetic. Your PC is the luckiest PC around.

Its true you know if something crash oh shit to much dust to hot et al.
Its odd.
If something hardware related broke on it, there's no way I could fix it. I'm just not smart enough.
I wonder if it's mega dusty? Maybe it should be blown out.
It's ALWAYS been this way though...

Sometimes we just can't control what happens. Ongoing maintenance man. If you use an optical HDD, defrag of course and
since you're not mining, you're not really stressing it out. Rendering puts the most "strain" but it's usually some major CAD software
and stuff like Maya 3d.
I think you'll be fine.
If not, shit can be taken care of.
We gotta take care of our systems so they can take care of us.
(heavy meta).
Hmmm it's like a TAD dusty in there but nothing major... nothing that should warrant any type of increased working of the fans.
Super easy to slide that panel off in case I actually give a shit and clean the dust out.
Maybe I'll do that one of these nights.
I took a good look at it and it really just isn't dirty...
Very slight layer of dust but absolutely not bad.

YES!
Take that case apart, bring it outside and blow it out good; especially between the cpu cooler radiator blades and gpu cooler blades.
Your little box needs air ;)
Airflow is pretty important in pc maintenance. Thank god it's usually a once, maybe twice a year thing though depending on where you live.
Looks like it's got 4 fans...
2 of them seem to run all the time (very quiet) and then there are two big fans underneath this motherboard looking thing.
(Don't make fun of me okay, I don't know fuckall about the inner workings of computer machines.)

Doesn't sound like it needs to be super cleaned or fucked with then really if it's light. Wouldn't hurt but doesn't sound like it absolutely needs it right now.
I think the two big ones on the bottom are the ones that come on during recording/gameplay.

It basically doesn't man.
Lmfao I remember what some peoples' computers looked like back in the early 2000s...
They'd bring that shit in to be fixed and we'd look at it and go hooooollllllyyyyy shit, how does this even happen???
Looked like a nest had been built in the shit.
So yeah it's fine compared to something like that...
I guess it's just the sound of those poor fans working that really gets to me.
I just feel so bad for them.
Like, can they really handle it??
