On the Cosmos II I also have side intakes but it can take a ridiculous number of fans.

Same. I was pushing my cpu heat from the evo through the top 2 fans.

Oh, that's weird. You'd think it would have its own mounting hardware. I bet the Intel installation does. Intel's stock mounting is the ultimate in shittyness.

Do any of you have any good "nerdy" rug suggestions? Just got my new desk and chair assembled and I really need a rug to bring it all together (yes that was intentional).

Was wanting something like Star Wars or Nintendo themed.

Someone should make a Happy Gilmore mod for The Golf Club so my avatar can just flip his shite whenever I barely miss easy putts.

Under load I was hitting about 53 on average peaking at about 57 with the 212, so far with the H80i I haven't hit 50 and been averaging about 47.

Idle with the 212 was about 33-35, H80i is 27-30.

Very happy overall.

Noisier, quieter, or about the same? Just curious because I've never seen/heard an H80i in person, but I know at a certain threshold those asetek radiators aren't better than the Hyper 212. Probably more on par with an H50-H60 though.

I did my research on the Corsair series, the H80i came out as the best of the bunch for price and performance. H50/60 did not review very well, and the H100i while solid, was not worth the higher price for very minimal improvements over the H80.

As for noise, when in Quiet Mode with Corsair Link software it's pretty quiet, not bad at all. Performance mode isn't too bad either, def louder than the EVO by a decent chunk but also 2 fans versus 1 and higher RPM range. So all in all, probably about the same on average, tad bit louder.

Corsair Link software is fantastic.

So apparently that Halo: Online closed beta is now working globally versus Russia only as someone has gotten all of the files and modded them to work, quite easily as well.

About to download it all and play some Halo 3 on PC. I'll let you know how it is, reddit consensus seems to be "it's awesome".

Check it out here

Three rounds. 97, 85 and 74. Getting there. How do you change courses? It keeps making me play the same damned one.

My weakness is the lob wedge and putting outside of 10'. Don't have the touch or the green reading skills yet.

I asked this a while ago but what's the phone market look like right now. I want to stick with Android and I like the 5" size. After I scratched my screen this weekend and my daughter threw up on it I decided I may upgrade I have an s4 now.

When you're at the main menu, select "Play," then "Play Round," "Stroke Play," then "All Courses."

That will bring you to sort of a server browser where you can look at every course, filter by Official, Handicap Rated, Public, etc. There are over 50,000 courses (most are player-created). You can sort them by rating, newest, most played, etc., and you can enter a text search. If you search for the word "Putt" you'll find a bunch of courses that are set up for mini-golf (putting only) and par-3s that are like pitch and putt (like maybe a 50-yard pitch to the green). Some of those courses are too difficult to even practice or enjoy, but a lot are great for putting practice. I still fail hard at fast greens, and even medium greens. I tend to under-swing when I over-compensate, and vice versa, especially anything over 10 feet, but I've improved my short game enough that unless I really just frick up out of stupidity, I'm never on the green for more than 2 putts.

I've got my handicap down to 2.7-3ish now.

Major ones are S6, S6 Edge, HTC One M9, LG G4 (later this month), and Moto X

Galaxy S6 seems to be well-liked
