Thermalright c12c 5pack black fans. Great fans. Tp4 can vouch.
1550 rpm, It's got the fluid bearings, and multifan chain connector. 5 fans for $16.39, the ARGB ones are $20, but they use the frosted white plastic blades which are softer than the black plastic version. If there is a noise difference, it's not detectable in these low rpm ranges. Upto 1150rpm, nearly inaudible. No bearing whirl.
Arctic wants $35 for the same thing. 1800rpm and not even argb.
Realistically, theres nothing you're gonna do with 1800rpm that 1550rpm isn't enough for. And pressure side of things, who the hell cares, if you want pressure, you get a GT clone.

Image quality was soooo bad, but it wasn't horrible thanks to CRTs blur.

I don't think it was necessarily DVD that was the issue.
A lot of movies were just VHS transferred over, they weren't adjusted to fit the larger screens or remastered. The transfer was poorly done and the companies just used it as a money grab.

Undervolting causes more stability problems for the middle and low frequencies, because the offset is too much at that section of the curve, whereas at Peak voltage, it can sustain stronger cuts.

The b movie slashers were especially bad. Worse than home video at times.

Oh, what the hell... just ordered new monitor, LG OLED 42" C4. Selling my old 48" CX, time for upgrade. Picked it for great promotion, so at the end it should be a simple swap for same amount.
