Well met IMVU Mafia people, my name is Nathanel.
I'm an outgoing type in real life, I get drunk often with friends and hit the town all the time.
At home I like to seclude myself and play video games, chat online and roleplay. None of my real life friends know about the roleplay thing, it's my secret pleasure.

I built my PC myself, it's my pride and joy. I'll add the specs to my profile soon enough, this way you can all look at me with admiration and resentment.
I come from Denmark, land of the vikings. My favorite hobbies are: Getting drunk, having sex, BDSM, video games and roleplaying.

I've previously dabbled in graphic design and I have many contacts in coding and design "circles".
That being said, I have little enough free time as it is, so I doubt I'll be able to contribute in any major way.

It's a pleasure to meet you all, if you ever need anything or require additional info, feel free to contact me.

Nathanel.

Welcome to the forums, Nathanel.

I built myself one too. You can see it here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4230&hilit=computer#p116884

And my upgrades: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4230&hilit=computer#p116900

So no resentment from me.

Sounds like you will fit in just fine Nathanel.
Welcome to the family.

We need to speak together sometime.
How do you like the water cooling? I opted for regular cooling, 6 high powered fans. But I thought about getting some watercooled system from Corsair too.
Let me post my specs in a minute.

I enjoyed it when I had it. But it malfunction one day and I had to wait 2 weeks for a replacement from China. I wasn't going to go 2 weeks with my computer out of commission so I bought a cpu fan to hold me over. However, that fan has kept my temps almost 20c lower at all times then the water cooler did so I have opted to use it instead. I rarely hit 40c even when it gets hot in here. The water cooler would keep me at around 60 to 65.

I ended up getting Corsair to give me a brand new replacement water cooler but since the fan is working so much better, I've left it un opened in the closet. I don't know if I did something wrong during the install, had a bad unit or if it just wasn't that good but whatever the case, I like my fan better.

I have 6 fans installed, along with one just dedicated to the CPU. That being said, I've never actually had to use more than 3 of them.
I was considering acquiring water cooling, but I never really saw the incentive, since my fans were working perfectly.

Hearing this, I'm just all the more pleased I never went for it.
Posted the details now.

Well there are lots of situations where water cooling will be better. I didn't exactly go for a top of the line cooler. It was only $90 and it only cooled the cpu.

I don't know if the unit I had was bad or not. But really, if you're fans are keeping your temps low, I don't see the need either.

I use 2 small fans and 2 large fans; 3 other fans are in the unit .... but I hardly ever run them. Too much noise and they are just not needed.

Welcome, Oh great and esteemed Nathanel.

To thee Forums of TIM.
