Then we funnel in western secs tourists toward the casinos. And when they lose all their money, the Casino confiscates their visas and kidnaps/sell them to the Scam City where they become slaves to the internet scam corporation for the next 15-20 years.
Hang on, this is all legal?
Faith in humanity destroyed.

Off mobo with software or using an adapter off the gpu? Just curious.
Normally you can do that, they sell adapters for it to connect to the card fan port.
The problem in this case is the red devil xtx bios hard locks to 35% pwm starting point, which is way too high for desktop 3000rpm fans that ramps up to 1650rpm. You can use 0rpm idle, but that's bad for cards.
So Tp4 is using a motherboard adapter and fancontrol software, which works amazing, it's so configurable. For example, after gaming, you can set it to decrease pwm by 0.5% per second, giving you a 60second cool down period post gaming. That's really cool.
There's no reason not to use fan control, it's so good, you can read 2 sensors at the same time, and have it respond to the highest sensor.
So for example, if you have a higher CPU only load, the fans can respond to that independently of GPU or respond to a high GPU only load, any reasonable logic you need, it's got it..
That's way better than reading a motherboard sensor, because those sensors have a huge time lag, AND, they don't have a very high dynamic range (temperature delta) for you to accurately tune the fan curve.

The more I research, the more I'm thinking, "Finland seems like a very nice place to spend my life." They seem to have it all there.
NZ is extremely expensive, and while Japan is quite affordable and great for small business owners, the language barrier and difficulty of procuring a visa are much more difficult.
Denmark is also a very attractive option, great food, tons of culture, friendly people.
I got to ask myself, who has the lowest access to high quality bagels

A 10" chefs knife for most thing, a small paring knife for cutting little things and trimming, and a serrated 12" knife. I have not found myself in a situation where one of those 3 knifes wasn't able to do the job. Shout out Victorinox for making affordable knives that don't suck.

Except for the 3 Zwilling knives that carried me through cooking school. 1 chefs knife, 1 small santoku for chopping veggies, and 1 bread knife.
I had to get the chefs knife replaced when the tip broke off, but that was after nearly 12 years of usage and Zwilling honored their lifetime guarantee.
Although I constantly remind myself I need a few good steak knives every time I eat a steak and wind up using my diving knife to cut it.
I'm a certified SDI diver, I just haven't been in about 13 years. It never expires though.
