Fan choices and decoupling If noise is of importance the PC fan you choose can make a big difference. Choosing a higher quality fan is much more about noise then it is how effective it is at removing heat! A cheap fan can also remove a lot of heat but a high-quality one can do Continue reading Fan choices and decoupling The post Fan choices and decoupling appeared first on Intermittent Technology…
The Jonsbo N3 case with a twist As a case for all 3 nodes I ve gone with a Jonsbo N3, I really like the form factor of this case!
