APH Networks: be quiet! Pure Rock Pro 3 Review
At some point during the past few years, I decided I was going to throw away my engineering degree to pursue a career in education instead. I knew one of my biggest weaknesses was going to be classroom management, since I never liked being the person who yells at a group to tell them to be quiet! I had a few chances to work with an after-school program recently, and that weakness of mine became very obvious. If the students were well-behaved, I had no issues, and it was an enjoyable time. However, I had one group with students who were always talking over me when I was trying to explain an activity. I do not know why, I just did not have it in me to yell at the group to be quiet! Luckily, I was not alone, and my more experienced coworkers were there to bail me out. To my surprise, the company was willing to hire me for a summer position where I would have to manage a group of around fifteen students on my own. Combining it with the summer heat, I might experience a mental boom. I may not be the best at getting a group of students to be quiet, but at least I can try to get my computer to be quiet with the help of the be quiet! Pure Rock Pro 3. This cooler is part of the Pure Rock lineup of products, which are designed for entry-level computers. Will the air cooler be quiet, or will I have to use it to practice yelling at students? Since it is a cooler, will the performance also be adequate to prevent my CPU from going metal boom in the summer heat? Just keep reading, and the answer will reveal itself.
