 acting like the rule of cool isn't in play for PC mods is pretty naive

 Well, he had a lot of help. Linus' practical skills are very, very hit & miss.

 Luke has some basic skills and it seems that new guy, Jake was hired expressly because he knows how to build poo poo.

 I really don't get the point of that build, they have beast PCs in each editor's station. Why not just have them render stuff locally rather than transfer files to another machine. I don't know a lot about editing workflow, so I might be offbase here. Is it so the editors' machines aren't bogged down rendering and they can keep working? Why not just have an edit box in the editing room?

 just get a big phanteks or nzxt case, they're almost all great. Fractal Design too, if you love monoliths.

 Yeah the 750s are known to get extremely spicy under heavy load. It's not surprising, seeing as they're basically the biggest non-GPU thing that goes into a PCIe slot. Realistically, we'll probably start seeing GPU-style active cooling solutions on M.2 and PCIe SSDs at some point.

Are closed loop coolers supposed to be less noisy than giant monolith fins with fans on them? I'm getting tired of my H80 being louder than the rest of my components combined when all I'm doing is just browsing the forums.

Would be better if I coughed up for a 240 cooler? Or even bought a new case that could support a 280 cooler?

none are really any quieter than a Dark Rock or equiv. Noctua cooler
