Retroachievements Playstation 2 playlist xml - logo - video View File Hi all! I like to share what I have done for myself You can find a playlist with 184 titles. At the moment they are 185 but I am not able to find Simple 2000 series Vol 116 you can find a simple logo and then I brutally copied an awesome video that was just uploaded recently in the forum and added the logo. If anyone thinks that it is a bad abit, I'll delete it. But I am not able to produce such good video. Have fun! I love retroachievements!

Thank you again, @skizzosjt I'll think a little about it then. Maybe I can wait for black friday to see some discounts. I'll return my old 14tb when I'll have copied all my data. I have copied 50gb in more than 1 hour... Something is not working, it is for sure now. Thank you again!

Dear @skizzosjt one last thing I am intertested buying a new HD, it is quite useless at this speed (maybe later I'll request an RMA or support to WD). I have already an WD DC HC550 https://www.bpm-power.com/it/online/componenti-pc/hard-disk-interni/3-5-18tb-western-b1693264 I have seen also a Seagate Sata Exos (ST18000NM000J) https://www.bpm-power.com/it/online/componenti-pc/hard-disk-interni/3-5-18tb-seagate-b1705797 What do you think about this drives? I use for Launchbox, so the main app, platform and roms. Thank you again!

Dear @skizzosjt thank you again for your reply. The spinning time seems to be an interesting value to follow. I'll try to understand better it and how to keep monitored. Smart says that it is all ok... I'll buy a new HD if this is not working well, it keeps my base LB install with roms. It is a new HD, it has only 1 year... sigh Thank you again for your precious tips and advices! 😊

Dear @skizzosjt Thank you again for your reply. I was using HWmonitor64 but seems that HWinfo64 is much more accurate. Are you able to understand what this means?

Dear @skizzosjt, I have mounted all. I tried to be clean with the cable and I have some improvements! Here it is! and it works!!! For now temperatures have touched for a second 84° but usually does not go over 68° I have only to check an hard disk that is became a lot slow...checking tool tell me that is ok. Maybe I have to set better sata cable. I have put 3 fans on the same point on top and 3 argb on the same point on top On bottom I have 3 argb on 1 and 2 fans on1 and 1on1 Thank you again for your precious support! Regards

Hey, great idea! Why I have fixed it in that way??? ahhahaha I have ordered 3 fans. I'll set all. I'll see the best arrangement, maybe turning HD, 1 fan bottom, 1 top over cpu-ram, 1 on the panel I'll try to arrange the cables, I have bought an hub controller, maybe I can put togheter the new cables (fans and argb), anyway it is very funny! After reading the article I say "NO", I'll keep my perfect cables. I'have looked on the coolermaster site (my psu) to see if there are some different cables, but they sells only extensions. So I have to learn to accomodate the cables. 20 years ago, we never had such problems. We were searching only for power. Now argb and a good look is also requested. I mean...I like it! Thank you again, truly!

You are great! I never thought about orienting the fans like that. Now I proceed with the purchase of 3 beautiful fans and then when I have assembled everything, I will send you a photo. We'll see if I've been a careful student! I have to setup in a better way my cables, they are too long and I' am having some trouble to put them all behind. I was searching for shorter cables but seems that it is better to use the one packed with the psu. (I have bought 3 cables to make the case pretty but I have discovered that they are extensions...too cables can creates too vulnerabilities I think). Thank you again!!!!! So precious tips!

Dear @skizzosjt, thank you very much for your kind reply! I think I am understanding. So, I'll mount a new fan on that lateral panel as intake. I dont want to push my cpu, so I can save some money here and invest on 2 more fans to mount on the top of the case...here I have a lot of place! It is good to put them intake here also? I was thinking to put one next to the front and maybe the other one above the cpu. Or it is bettere to mount one on the bottom as exhaust? Sorry for the questions but you are helping me a lot and I'd like to learn something!

I had the i5 8400 with a mobo asus TUF, I had never problems with cpu temperatures. So I have bought a similar one. i5 11400f with another asus tuf mobo (b560m plus wifi). When the cpu touched 100° I was a little surprised. luckly I have thought to enter the bios and check for something different from "default". From that time I have never touched again such temperatures and usually it goes 70-80 when I am playing. I dont know if it is good, but for sure it is better.

I have saved my last comment...a little afraid to loose what I have written For the docking station, I think I'll look for something that can operate with fans and protect from dust. I have also a little girl here that sometimes does not look where she goes...and I cant loose my data!! But I have to find something good. Now I have bought some argb items and I am having fun...I have put led all over the desk ahahahhaah

Ciao @skizzosjt Just returned on my pc now! I post you some photos of my case, so I can explain better: This is my case. You can see my first HD on the bottom. Here I have a good temperature. I have only one fan behind (120) and 2 front (140). I think I'll add 1 on the panel you showed me, it is a good idea. And then I'll mount some on the top. Id like to mount a liquid cooler on my cpu...but I dont want to remove mobo..I cant reach it from the behind... How you can see, there is a good place for a 120. But I'll have to remove a little panel from behind. That is the back. You can see a secondary HD put in vertical and the little panel that I can remove to insert the fan. On the right psu and over the other HD. I have choosen to put on the external slot to gain 2 cm from the mobo. Now you can see the hole removing the little panel. I dont understand anyway where to put the fan. From the back or from the front? I was thinking to make the fan able to push air from Front to behind, it is right? That is what you call "intake"? I am not sure that it'll push a lot of air because the HD is a bit far from here and it is not directly hit, but maybe it can help to make some air moves. Here we say that "something is better than nothing". I was also thinking to put a little fan (100) in the missing hd slot, maybe I can obtain a good direct airflow...I am not so sure for the vibration, but I can make a low rotation on it...

Thank you for yours replies! I have changed my pc. Usually I take classic case with a good airflow and I am used having HD next to frontal fans. I have inserted in the order a case but the sellers reported me that the case was not able to support 4 HD, so I have changed it with a bit of hurry, without looking it very well. I have choosen a Lian Li 011 mini air, I have read review and looking at it seemed good. These new case separate PSU and HD in a not visible area, behind the mobo. I have stocked my two HD and their temperatures were of 40° and 50°. I dont like that, so I have put and HD on the front, fixing it on the bottom of the case, it is not the right place but now the temperature is 31°. Also my CPU were a bit hot, but maybe I had some optimized option in bios that I have removed and now seems to be acceptable. anyway I have the other HD stocked in the invisible area and his temperature is about 38-40°, there are no fans there, so I was thinking to move the 2 hd in another place. I admit that having it on the bottom does not look so good... Yes, you are right. I am not so good to handle different situations, so I prefer to use them separately. I'd like to see them for what they are. Thank you for your suggestion! I have seen that product and it is the easiest way to handle what I need. What do you think about dirt? What do you think about little hurt that can take? And what do you think about temperature? Yeah, maybe I a bit worried about my hd, but you know...I am working hard on my LB config from 3-4 years, and I cannot loose all for a mistakes. I have a little backup on an 8TB...and I have to update it. In fact I'd like having more spaces, like 3-4 slot, to add also my backup. Can work that? What do you think? Thank you again for your time!

Thank you for your reply! Your external device was for 1 HD or for more HD in the same device? Because I have 2 differents HD that I'd like to move outside the case in a single external device (with a good cooling system) and I'd like that windows will see them separately...I have inserted too many paths to change all. But I admit that I dont know what I am talking about, I dont know which system/device/hardware can be used.

Hi, I have changed my pc and I am not very satisfied with the new cooling system. So I was thinking to put my 2 hd (14 and 18 TB) on an external hub/dock station or other linked to my pc with USB (3.2 gen2 or gen 1) But I dont know which hardware to use. Any of you use LB/BB on external hardware? Can I use the first that I like? Can you help me please?

I see the game. Maybe you are right, it'll happen soon I totally agree. We have time to improve quality but meanwhile something is better than nothing.

it was not marked for deletion from what I can see. So I have marked it. Let's wait to see. Anyway you can help moderating to speed up the process
