Can anyone suggest a proper filter I can use to put in a window that I am sucking in about 3500 CFPM? I tried a couple off the shelf ones from the local hardware store and they seem to cut down on air flow a ton. I understand that a filter will cut air flow, I'm just wondering if you guys found a good balance of filtering and air flow.

All, I have several rigs and I tend to see this once in a while. However, I am building a new rig and it seems to happen every 10-15 minutes. Is it normal for has rates to drop by 30% or so per card (usually not at the same time) from time to time? You can take a look at the highlighted sections in the image link below.

This is a semi serious post but 100% true... Just thought I would share.

About 2 months ago I was at Microcenter doing a GPU run on one of their shipment days. I happened to be first in line this day. Second in line was a young kid who was skipping school with his dad so they could buy a GPU for gaming. I felt bad and let him go in front of me. Ok, now to the point....

After picking out my 6 GPUs I waited for them to take the order sheets to the front of the store so we could all check out. As we were waiting in line at check out there was a guy who was buying a printer.

He said, "What's up with all of you buying graphics cards, are they on sale?" Before I could answer the slightly younger guy behind me said... "We are bitcoin mining."

Alert, Alert!!! this guy might have been generalizing, but he wasn't bitcoin mining with 1080ti's.

Guy with printer said, "What is that?"

Idiot behind me said, "See that printer you got there? Bitcoin mining is just like that, except it prints money."

This is when it hit me. OMG, it is people like this guy who are going to eventually ruin all of this.

Ok, so I over reacted in the moment thinking he would ruin it, but it is this kind of person who...

...feeds into the hype, buys the dip every time, or says they buy the dip

idk, just thought I'd share this.
