I know like on boot up there's something you can go into and check out the fan settings and whatnot, but I don't really get down like that...
The shit's either gonna be fine or it's not, that's the way I look at it. I ain't fucking with it besides blowing on it at some point.
But I gotta keep it warm in the house, I just hate being even the slightest bit cold.

Those are fans to cool your gpu down which is why they sound louder when your doing graphics intense
operations; the calculator (graphics processing unit) is more efficient when it's not cooking it's own transistors.
maybe we can talk later about your specs. There are a LOT of really great cards out there still from 3 generations ago but
they do have a lifespan.
I bet your an nvidea girl. Anyway, yeah...those are for your graphics card so it doesn't heat your home, and they definitely can
in some of the setups I've seen if they weren't properly cooled. They work hard for you baby, so you better treat it right. lol

BIOS. Modern motherboards usually have smart-fan tech in them, giving each component the right amount of fan RPM when sensors indicate
an increased thermal level.
If you're ever going to do a thorough "clean" which is more than dusting off.
Remember this even if you don't understand it.
1. Update your chipset drivers 1st from the manufacturer of your motherboard
2. Flash your BIOS to the latest version then reinstall windows. Does amazing things for a system sometimes.
Most of the modern BIOS for current mobos are GUI based so it's easy to navigate and mess around with whatever you want to configure but usually, unless you're into
overclocking, the shit's usually fine except a lot of mobos won't recognized over 3,000 speeded ram so you have to basically press a single button and pick your speed for
the ram and it does all the modifications to the other parts itself without mistake.

Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh dude that's EXACTLY what those are.
This gaming PC I've actually had for a few years but have hardly used the thing until recently...
It's actually gone for several months with no use at a time...
I had somebody tell me that was really bad for PCs and they have to be turned on and used and updated etc.
I was just like whatever.
Cuz I essentially got the computer just to play WoW, and then I burn out super hard on WoW and don't play it for months and months...
Therefore don't use the PC for months and months.
But now I've just got all my computers in a row at my standing desk and I use them all, all day long.
I just want to know that I can push this fucker to play games and stream/record at the same time and not worry about it blowing up.
I guess really I should just let go and let it happen... what will be will be I guess.
Hopefully we'll still be able to get new computers in the coming years and it won't be some kinda retarded world where you gotta keep your old broken shit or not have anything.
I don't accept that reality and these days I find myself shunning anybody who pushes a doomy narrative...
Like even people I used to love, I just gotta turn my back on 'em cuz their rhetoric is too negative and I don't believe in the future they see.
It's just not the same one I see.

I don't cut my PC off
It's not good to turn off/on.
Heat expands the solder of the components on the motherboard and makes the connection weaker so sleep mode is best.
If the sound has been recent, I guess you'll just see what happens.
On "pushing doomy narratives..."
God you're magnificent.
My little light; she sure does shine-brilliantly. Actually not mine; I'd be selfish prick not to share her brilliance but you know what I mean
ultra-sweet-n-tasty jellybean! You taste delicious! Even when you're a total you know what! LMAO

I dunno why people think liquid cooling is better it still needs them fans dusted.

Nah it's not recent, it's always run hard.
Honestly, the damn thing is great...
Sooo much fucking better than Mac, holy shit.
I mean literally, the only thing that Mac has over PC is iMovie...
I've been using iMovie to edit for like a million years and damn I would hate to have to use anything else.
That's literally it though.

Room air temp was reading at 79...
So I was like agh, sigh. Fuck.
I GUESS I'll open the airvent...
It's actually right above the PC on the ceiling so that's actually kinda cool...
It'll be blowing basically directly onto it.
I hate walking underneath it and feeling the cool air but whatever...
I guess we all have to make sacrifices for what we really love in this world.

That's literally it though. iMovie is fun. I use Vegas. After affects has more of a learning curve, very nice program. Sony Vegas is sufficient for my needs currently.
I'm gettin' yo specs in later though...

We do and we should. It's logical, smart and pays off despite the initial startup costs... (on making sacrifices for optimum systems)

Example.
The new FB desktop Beta they force on you looks like it was drawn by 4yo's with crayons.
It barely even functions.
Unfortunately AI didn't create it, retarded human adults did.
Are these despicable filthy human scum trying to attempt to drive us back to our childhood?
In to our subconscious?
So they can try to manipulate us more?
I guess it works on 90% of people from us searching about it.
But not us.
Adult humans have lost the ability to even object to things now.
I suppose that is what "they" want.
Come at me bro, I am not the 90%.

I've heard that a lot of recording studios keep the temp on the frosty side
so the electronic equipment doesn't overheat.

Yeah like how Alex Jones keeps the InfoWars studio at like 60 degrees or something.

It's ALWAYS been this way though...
That's something everybody should do.
You have to shut your machine down and let it rest for about half an hour.
Then, using a can of compressed air, blow/shoot quick bursts of air into all
the holes, nooks and cranny's. You'll be surprized at how much black dust
comes out. Especially if you've never done it before.
It's gotta be the right stuff though, made for computers. It'll come with a super
thin clear plastic straw to stick into the nozzle, like WD-40.

You must become like a child to enter the kindgom of heaven is what you're saying? Very astute and wise observation dude. I'm impressed.
