There's also magnetizer/demagnetizer blocks for removing the magnetization. Here's a video about them since that's thread appropriate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RazORgAqEUc

M.2 screws really need a precision screwdriver as they are such fiddly little fuckers.

I really had no idea screwdrivers could warrant this many pages of discussion. My dad has a cool magnetic screwdriver and I have two different screwdrivers I use for tearing apart my PC which were probably 5 dollars total. I’m assuming you’d want some fancy pants $100 screwdriver if you’re a PC builder and do this 8 hours a day for a job? Man now I’m posting about screwdrivers too

Man now I’m posting about screwdrivers too no, not really. usually you buy a fixit kit of some kind and maybe a nice multivariable kit with a magnet, that i would say is the upper limit of what tinkerers would buy.

Definitely an interesting choice of components.

Tiny Timbs posted:Does Harbor Freight sell anything that can do inch-pounds? They sell a 1/4" ratchet that lists 20-200 in/lb. That's way too much for tiny screws though, most of those are in the 10-20 in/lb range. TBF though, unless you're doing something really precise like mounting scope bases for competitive precision rifle shooting, there aren't a lot of applications you actually need to measure that little torque for. You can get way more than close enough by hand. Nobody actually uses torque wrenches on bicycles, for example, even though everything has a spec in newton meters. And then for that high precision/low torque stuff, you have to jump to like $200+ specialty tools. I have heard good things about fixit sticks, if you just need to repeat a handful of small torque values repeatedly, but those quickly add up into that price range anyway. For larger values like working on cars or whatever, HF torque wrenches are way more than adequate unless you're doing something extremely precise, like building serious race engines or something. You can get a $22 torque wrench that is way more accurate than you need to be for basically anything. Plus, a luggage scale and a ruler are about all you need to test calibration on torque wrenches to also way more accuracy than you need.

Unless he sucks, then less power to him, but you can’t go lower than EVGA bronze. He sucks. Generally one of the driving philosophical voices behind US foreign policy posture for the last 40 years, namely meddling in everything everywhere at all times. He's softened up a bit but still sucks because he still advocates for the "end of history" and the creation of a monopolar world with the US as its center even as he's lost his taste for achieving that with military force. I am sure a goon will show up and tell me he's brilliant and I am dumb, but whatever. Super weird to see him posting pictures of his extremely pedestrian computer.

having watched the screwdriver video this product makes an absolute ton more sense. pricing is still stupid but it's not as egregiously stupid.Combat Pretzel posted:So it's just baby hands version of their regular product. OK. basically yes, it's someone taking an established but ultimately niche product, tuning up stupid poo poo that doesn't matter like mechanical keyboard sound of the ratchet but ultimately also doesn't really seem to hurt the product at all. there's not enough room to be too overengineered in terms of the product, no comment on the production schedule but not obviously in the product, lol. i don't know the tool market loving at all but they're taking an established and working design, doing some rebrands and ultimately super niche tuneups and selling it with a markup. the price is dumb, but they've paid the capital to produce an arbitrary number of these now and i would expect them to be still making them in years so they probably could bring pricing down after they've paid some of that back.

remember, these cases are designed to that older ethos - this case has both that dinky little 90mm or whatever it is and the 120mm in the PSU as exhausts. this is frankly an extremely bad idea for the PSU but it will mean the case will have negative pressure, which means that all those empty PCIe slots and poo poo right under the GPU are going to be getting some fresh air. the big downside is dust and you can see it all over, but much like cable management my boy frankie f is here for what it does not how it looks. a builder after my own heart, which is weird. like, i'm pretty sure other than the case we have almost an identical config, i have that gpu lol.
