Basically just the CPU fan, case, and PSU (if you’re lucky). If someone can figure out how to get Doom running on just those 3 things, young people will be able to ascend.

    The username was a bit of a giveaway.

    Their claim about Noctua is also not correct, or at least not generalisable to all coolers. I upgraded my CPU recently to a Ryzen 9 5950X, so needed to upgrade my cooler. The NH-D15 came out as one of the best options (that were also available second hand) when looking at cooling performance per dB. That ratio is what matters.

    I ended up spending about $45. It ended up not having all fan clips with it, but Noctua sent those to me for free.

      If you’re going to infer someone is stupid because you disagree with them, at least have the decency to explain how they’re wrong.

      BTW, the username is 100% bait: a certain fraction of social media users tend to make that “hurr hurr, username sure checks out” comment, letting me know the person making said comment likely isn’t worth taking seriously.

        It was a joke I assumed you’d be okay with given your username, which signalled an appreciation of self deprecating humor :)

        To be frank, I didn’t think you were friendly enough in previous comment that I wanted to engage with you, but I had something useful to say. So I referred to your username as hook for the other discussion. I think the person I responded to did a good job explaining why the PWM comment was technically correct, so I had nothing to add to that.

        But other than the comment you made I thought could have been friendlier, I have nothing against you. I’m not making any inferences about you as a person based on one comment. I dont actually you’re stupid, you’re still the stranger on the internet you were before.
