No it doesn't. And you really shouldn't be commenting considering how dirty your setup looks, and how unsafe it is.Nice. The CPU fan looks kinda dusty though

Yes, I know about the static issues but I was careful to ground myself, I wore shoes and I didn't actually put any of the components on the carpet. When I wasn't using them they were either in their boxes or on top of them, so it was fine. I've built plenty of systems like this now and have had no issues. It's not as big a deal as people sometimes make it out to be (and don't forget stuff is fairly tough these too and not too static sensitive).Nice...but a stock cooler on an i7?
Also, building a system on a carpet is risking a static electrical handshake between you and the components you are touching.
As for the stock cooler, they're not overclocking and the airflow in the case is good. The budget was pushed enough and I stress tested it for over 12 hours with no issues so it should be fine. If it does end up running hot an aftermarket cooler can always be added later.
Pretty silent but like above I've noticed the R5 is a quiet case! I slept in the same room as the PC for 12 hours with the CPU running at 100% during a Prime95 test.Actually I was thinking more about the noise level. I've tried Intel's stock coolers before and they weren't very quiet. Maybe they've improved since I last tried one. How's the one you installed?
There was actual dust that compressed air/my mouth couldn't blow off the wings, and I didn't bother taking a rag and cleaning them.Says the person who doesn't know why they should use a case.. And how is saying someones heatsink looks dirty (when it clearly isn't), being nice?
3 way Crossfire? Check.
Large fan for 3 way Crossfire? Check
Dinky little AMD stock heatsink and fan? Check
Something seems a bit off here...
Maybe this isn;t the thread for it, but how does mining bitcoins work?It was from before Bitcoins were impossible to mine with GPUs. Had the fan just lying there to provide additional cooling
Tried connecting some bridges and see if it could game. Didn't work so well
PS: Spent about $40 worth (estimated) of power on getting $30-40 worth of coins. Then coins rose to $300 value - and then I send them to an old wallet in a stupid hangover. BB BTC
