    Question What's causing my hard drive to make this noise and what can I do? It's only a few months old

    I just resubmitted the video link it should have sound now. Yea I agree its just disappointing that its already making noise after only a couple months. I'll have to go on Seagates website and see if its worth RMAing. Otherwise I guess I'm just stuck with it.

    Question Here's my custom fan curve for my new 3060 ti. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

    Because I made mine a staircase. I don't like curves cause it can cause the fans to change speeds consistently. I like to keep my fans at one speed for specific temperatures.

    Question Here's my custom fan curve for my new 3060 ti. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

    EVGA's fan stop implementation is awful. They have it set to immediately turn on and off at a threshold temperature around 55C. If you're doing anything causing the card to sit around that temp the fans will just go on and off continually. I also just personally prefer setting my own fan...

    Question Looking for some constructive criticism on my upgrades before I purchase them. What are your thoughts?
