Hi i just wanted to ask which of these would you recommend? Im gonna be cooling a ryzen 7600x so i know both are overkill.

One thing is im trying to make the PC as silent as possible (ideally even when under load) so if anyone knows which of these will generate less/ less annoying noise than i would appreciate the help!

So since im sensitive to humming and like annoying noise which one would you recommend?

Their prices in my market are basically equal.

Trying to look at this team realistically

FYI: No i am not hater, not a doomer, just a fan who doesn’t blindly become positive and supportive towards things just because it has a Lakers logo slapped on it.

Be warned LONG POST ahead!!!

Now yes it would have been bad to lose AR for nothing. It would have set the team back. And yes its good that they can still make moves this offseason. They still have money to strengthen the team.

BUT!!!! In the long run I think this will do more harm than good, potentially handcuffing the team for the next half decade.

First off Reaves’ contract is an overpay. Thats the truth without sugarcoating it. He isn’t a 46M player. Not even close. It’s just not what his performances show in the regular season, not to mention the playoffs. I remember when he said he would rather sign for less money on a contender than be an Allstar on a tanking team. Now he basically didn’t leave a single dime on the table so his personal image kinda took a hit, one if the reasons people blindly supported him was because he was on such a team-friendly deal.

Not to mention the extra money opportunities from advertising deals he will keep getting for being a Laker. How the Lakers failed to convert that to a lesser contract is concerning. Rob and the Front Office basically gave up all their leverage on a rumour that Detroit was “interested”.

Now the issue is that while it doesn’t affect the salary cap this year. Going forward this will look horrible as his contract is backloaded so his annual salary is increasing every year.

Now add the fact that he is a bad defender who will get targeted while being a playoff dropper on offense and you can see why so many hate this deal.

My biggest problem is that his game isn’t suited to play with Luka and isn’t a successful style for the playoffs. He has 1 move which is go to the basket, he is always attacking the rim because layups is his go-to move or he is banking on drawing contact and shooting FTs.

That isn’t a style suited for long playoff runs. He may find the space and get these calls in the regular season but in the playoffs he is constantly getting stripped and complaining to the refs who obviously officiate different and allow more physicality so he gets less fouls.

Look at his game he is always trying ti get to the rim for a layup. That doesn’t work without an elite all round squad like what the Knicks just had around Brunson with 4 good shooters for spacing who can all defend too.

It’s just way too hard to build a team around 2 net negatives defenders. Not to mention they will take up 100M of the cap so they will have to find scraps to fill out the squad in the future.

Now add to this his injury history where he basically always ends up with at least 1 long term injury per year.

I personally would have let him walk if he asked for over 40M. His main value is scoring and I would rather trust Luka that he will elevate a balanced team to replace his scoring than trust the Front Office to find cheap, elite 3 and D guys next to these two.

Based on the past champions, you need Rookie scale deals or a well balanced team where stars take less money to win, the Lakers have neither and we aren’t getting any elute rookies while luka is on the team winning 50 games every year. We saw this year that even with Luka and AR and Bron in the regular season we couldn’t keep up with a healthy OKC or Spurs.

So Rob and his team are basically now on the clock to turn this team into a real contender within a single offseason instead of having the opportunity to build up a team season by season.

And if this moves turns sour then we will have Rob fired and the new FO will have to come in and try to put out the fire and start having to build the team with a massive negative assets.

TLDR: Reaves is a good player but not a good fit and a playoff negative. I believe a more well balanced team who can cover for Luka’s weaknesses would give us a better chance to beat the Spurs, Knicks and OKC than having a 40M duo who are both targeted on defence.

This is my take I hope i am surprised positively.

Hi guys! Im building my first pc. I have all the parts beside a cooler for my cpu. Basically I have a bunch of coolers in my cart and have no idea which to get since i cannot find consistent data of how they sound.

Im just cooling a 7600 so a lower-midrange AM5 CPU.

From what I have understood i can either get an Liquid or Air cooler. I have a very low tolerance for noise so the quieter the better. Even laptops with their fans on normally start bothering me after a little bit.

I have read that AIOs have a constant humming while Air coolers get louder during heavier workloads. Which i might slightly tap into, since i will work with some video files in After Effects.

But I assume that my 6 case fans and my GPU will probably make some sort of noise so if thats the case then any of the coolers that don’t add or overpower the minimum sound should be right?

Here are some of the coolers i have seen that fit my range and budget:

- TR Peerless Assassin
- Arctic Freezer 36
- TR Phantom Spirit
- Noctua NH-L9x65
- Noctua NH-9S
- Cooler Master 612 Apex

- Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360
- Corsair Nautilus 240/360 RS
- Corsair H100i 240
- TR Aqua Elite 360
- TR Frozen Prism 360
- TR Mjolnir Vision 360 UB Pro
- MSI CoreLiquid A13 240/360

Hey guys sorry for bothering you with this simplistic question im just building my first PC and wanted to ask how the AIO sounds.

I have a pretty solid option to buy a Corsiar iCue Link H100i 240mm AIO for $60, so its basically the same as a good Air cooler.

I am leaning towards the AIO since its in the same price range as the air coolers.

BUT!! before i order it i wanted to ask those of you who have used/heard it.

Is there a constant hearable noise? Or does it get absorbed by the surroundings and case? Constant noise would put me off but if its a nonexistent issue i would buy the AIO.

Gonna be cooling a low-midrange am5 CPU so 7500f/7600 depending on which one i can find for normal retail price so its an overkill but still i want to know the noise levels.

Thank you
