Some may argue that it should be lack of ventilation but hey ho.
Hopefully by the look of your set up there is adequate fans to extract all the heat generated.
its actually caused by magnetic forces, all electric cables produce a magnetic field around them, this is why some cables have shielding.
cables too close together with current passing through them both produce a magnetic field (induction) these fields interact with each other and cause heat.
yep but this is a problem for measure devices and when cables have a very high current passing inside.
it’s not that big of a problem in a psu cable max difference is 12V lol.
we never even consider thd in our psu units because the voltages are so low that even if a voltage is distorted it will not harm the components in the rig

This is not a discussion between you and I over the “basics” as I prefer to keep it when discussing complex scientific phenomena. It’s merely about offering some advice about the actuality of fire relating to overheating within PCs.
I trust that you have no objection with my mere thought of life saving?

Yes removable dust filters in front, bottom and the one in the top is magnetic.

not “basics” just the truth.
cables do not breathe

Perhaps you would prefer to start a new topic involving dry and wet arcing of electrical cables caused by a variety of defects within the wiring and connections?
better that than hijacking Soulzas thread on his new PC.
added a new fan controller this week £7 wish.com
well impressed , front panel time, date,alarm, it also has three temp probes that when a certain temp is reached the fans spin faster and an alarm sounds until temp is safe, you can switch from each sensor by a press of a button and little icons show when hd is active etc quite easy to install and setup , you can also manual over ride the fan speeds at any time and set to what you wish.
also moved a few items around
impressive photoshopping
very NYCE GUYS LUV IT , gratz , also hppy birthday soulza .
, some day ill up grade mine but for now it does a fine job …..4 hours ago, soulza said:I see you FINALLY have a decent headgear hanger!! lol

LOL
Having been an Electrical engineer for over 25 years pal, I KNOW they dont breathe.
I bet you are the kind of person who believes all the crap that “monster” cables say about “cleaning” electricity
or the HDMI cables that are oxygen free etc etc that people claim can improve an OPTICAL signal.
Its ALL BS, designed to make people “think” they are buying amazing cables when they are actually buying cheap rubbish that will not do anything.
PS, sorry Soulza.
Sorry Soulza, Scummbagg now has a detailed explanation and an apology in case they were upset.
Just keep your cables loose and don’t pack them tightly together was my simple message.
the final days of this build………………….in 24 hours my new evga 1060 sc arrives
why only a 1060 you ask ? well this is sort of linked the the graphics card topic i started , i have a samsung 27inch curved monitor and native res is 1920×1080
seen as i do everything in the 1080 res including tanks , and am not going 4k monitor any time soon (will go three 1080s) there is no reason what so ever to pay the extra cash for a 1070 or 1080 , the super clocked 1060 is by far best bang for buck if your running in 1080 , fanboys do go out and buy the 1080s but the way that card is at the moment its faster than 99.9% PCs so you will bottleneck somewhere unless you have the supporting hardware , its common sense that not many people apply when buying parts for their pcs, look at it this way , you buy a 4k monitor but have a gtx 950 graphics card ???? it will work but not as it should.
the other reasons I went for the evga SC version as at the moment i have the evga gtx 960 sc version installed and if you look this card is still holding its price pretty well today due to the fact it is a very good mid gaming card and will fit into small form factor builds ,the 1060 sc version looks the same and is the same dimensions , it also comes out on top of the tests for 1060s fps wise , noise and temps. no bells and whistles like backplate or RGB lighting , slot it in and let it do its job.
I am just in the middle of making a backplate for the new 1060 and waiting for paint to dry before next coat lol , you cant see backplate on the 960 very well in pics below but there are better pics else where in this thread. going to benchmark the rest of the afternoon with the 960 and store results then benchmark tomorrow with the new card installed.
