pretty sure the unit number didn't make it on the slip because of an error with Google pay, or something like that, although it wasn't a problem with B&H

Are you sure that 10400 comes with a stock cooler? Intel doesn't usually include one with CPU's in that price class, as far as I know.

I don't think you should worry too much with those components. You have a non-K CPU that you won't use to overclock and your power consumption with those specs will be pretty low, so I doubt that temps or airflow are going to be a huge issue (especially given that you're going with liquid cooling). Mounting the radiator front / top each has its own benefits. People say that front makes for a (slightly) cooler CPU and (slightly) hotter GPU, and that top does the opposite, but it really just depends on your specific case / cable management / components and hardly matters.

I'd definitely advise against exhausting through the front though. That's a pretty unusual setup that doesn't really offer any benefits and often isn't even really intended by case manufacturers. I would just go with front intake, rear exhaust, mount radiator at the top and then see which direction you prefer there. You can either have the radiator exhaust through the top or pull air in from the top.

Yeah, the Intel stock coolers are pretty anemic little things with one fan blowing directly down onto a circular heatsink with fins pointing in every direction. I already have it and there is a stock cooler, but I won't really trust it once there's a gpu blowing hot air onto it. My bf uses the stock cooler with his 8700, but his 980Ti isn't a blower so he really doesn't have to worry about it.

I got the 10400 as a holdover and am really just trying to think long term. I might have it for six to nine months but at some point I'm looking to get something beefier in the LGA 1200 socket, for the time being though, I couldn't see an upside to spending more on a cpu today.

It's good to know that there really is no magic solution to make sure everything is getting cool air though, I guess I'll just have to decide where I want the heat.

I thought not, it's not a story the Jedi would tell you.

how is this thread still bumpable

what kind of phone do you have?

Samsung GT-S6102, which uses Android 2.3.6, uses touchpad, is 5 years old, and is obsolete, probably was obsolete when I bought it. I sometimes listen music on it. Sometimes I read books on it too, but it burns my eyes fairly quickly

broh that phone launched like a decade ago

There exists a confluence between the two.

What you need to consider is opportunity cost.

Sometimes, despite a move seeming to be a step down, it actually provides improved opportunities beyond what you might be able to attain or have currently attained in your current field.

You should not only consider the highest position attainable in your prospective field vs current, but the odds of attaining each level of earnings in each field. Whichever field offers the highest reward at equal chance is the most fiscally secure, assuming vertical momentum.

Next, you should consider the level of wealth at which you are comfortable. If that level of wealth is attainable within acceptable odds in both paths, you might consider other factors. Rather than pursuing the highest level of fiscal gain, pursue the amount of wealth with which you can live comfortably, then pursue factors such as, enjoyment of the job, emotional well-being, free time, and other things.

Obviously, the time frames will not align. Do not consider which of the time frames is the quickest unless the difference is so significant that it would cause you significant emotional detriment.

This philosophy is tantamount to: always do the thing that will make you happiest. However, contrary to typical happiness based career building, this method also considers your fiscal comfort.

By discerning first which career, even from the entry level (not necessarily which level you are currently at), can take you to the level of fiscal comfort you seek, assuming the two are capable of both matching that requirement, you can then consider the emotional comforts offered by a career you truly love, or at least enjoy most of the time.

Consider that you will be miserable in poverty if you are not able to reach that fiscal objective even if you actively enjoy your work. This will result in you becoming a workaholic. Even if you live the work, that will take a mental toll on you.

It is always worth seeking opportunity where it is available, as long as you always consider whether it is really available or not.

I hope this helps you.

I don't look forward to having more SecondClasses

Last time that happened, I got banned for impersonating myself. So yeah, I'm not too keen on it, either.

fuck bobcast

In my experience with LSD, I've found that it's better to take most of it up front.

I would take three tabs, and the last one after 4-5 hours.

My last trip was that formula and it was pretty good on the front end, until I made the mistake of going to sleep. I had very strange vivid nightmares and spent most of the night sobbing uncontrollably, but before that it was a really good experience.

Why can't a person think it'd be nice to have a gf instead of being a rock who doesn't need anybody or a sad puppy who can't survive without a partner

you can, i just don't think that person posts threads like this

So if we use your brain's logic, does that therefore make all ass men scat men?

I've always wondered something about trans folk. Because our bodies naturally produce their respective hormones, does that therefore mean anybody who is trans has to keep taking suppliments to counteract the balance of naturally produced hormones versus delivered? Or is there some sort of balancing point where your body is just altered enough that it switches to producing the opposite kind in greater quantity naturally?

Essentially, you have to shut down your body's natural production of sex hormones using one drug, and introduce the desired hormones back into the body using another.

It's a lifelong treatment.

Kinda what I figured. That sounds semi-awful to have to rely on the medical system to provide the neccessary means, especially if you're american. I bet it costs a bit doesn't it?

Yeah, it can be very expensive, but if you have good insurance, or if you shop for a pharmacy that carries your meds at a low price, it can be manageable.
