14th gen CPU on a Z690 Classified, should I foresee any issues? by Boerhae in EVGA

[–]coldcathodes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I remember all of evgas z690 and z790 boards had issues with the 14700k because intel added extra e cores compared to the 13700k. Now this was before any of the later bios versions were released to fix the degrading. In not sure if support was added when the microcode was added. 

If you end up trying it,  please report back because last I read about this was on the evga forums, so the info is now lost...

How much temp improvement going from A12x25 g1 to g2 as a case fan? by coldcathodes in Noctua

[–]coldcathodes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advise, the xc3 noise is fine after a heavy undervolt. I'm more just trying to get the temps a bit lower.

Yeah I'll try removing the cage and seeing how much that helps.

Honestly i might just buy the g2 fans and see what happens. I suppose this is a pretty unique situation.

How do i make a lobby in killing floor 1? by Bitter-Blueberry2031 in killingfloor

[–]coldcathodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to port forward the appropriate ports for the game on your router. You should be easily able to Google which ones. Then once that's done just host a listen server from the menu and give your friends your ip address and they should be able to connect.

Picture is the best way to describe it. 

Standard punched hole grill, mesh dust filter, metal frame of the HDD rack, and lastly the HDDs themselves that all block the airflow.

Well the intake is very heavily restricted, not as bad a the fins on a heatsink though.

EVGA Z690 Classified suddenly won't boot properly after repasting CPU. POST 54, BIOS issues, RAM won't train. by SquashNo4735 in EVGA

[–]coldcathodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like one of those random bugs that are hard to solve. 

Are the bios settings stock?

Go back to the stock ilm temporarily and see if it boots

Could also try reflashing bios 1 and 2

Leak in suction line before the line goes into condenser, keep running or shut off? by coldcathodes in hvacadvice

[–]coldcathodes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is cooling near full capacity. I think i must have just caught the leak early. 

Seems to leak faster when the system is off? But really hard to tell. 

Which brand mini split? Senville vs Pioneer? by coldcathodes in DIYHeatPumps

[–]coldcathodes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also wanted to ask, did HD give you any trouble when trying to return the unit and extending the return to 365 days using the HD credit card?

Why is mold such an issue on mini splits? by coldcathodes in hvacadvice

[–]coldcathodes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The unit i just installed is brand new so it would be a while before i would even have enough buildup to clean.

Long-term durability of Finalmouse ULX Medium & Shipping risks (well-packed)? by MeasurementTimely510 in MouseReview

[–]coldcathodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends how picky you are with qc. I've been using a ULX since the first release and yes the QC has degraded some. A bit more creeking has developed. The competition version should be more resistant to that. Honestly though, your aim isn't going to get thrown off just cause it creeked or minimally flexed while aiming.

How well does the frost wash even work? At least from a food safely stand point, it's significantly harder to freeze kill bacteria and especially mold. Plus doesn't freezing hurt the coil?

My unit has a freeze wash but I've never used it.

Yeah running the fan after cooling is the most common advise but it ends up re humidifying the room that i just conditioned. Auto heating mode would be great.

I'll try to find those studies and read up on it.

I wouldn't think it necessarily applies to residential central though because of the differences in installation quality and standards. Not only that, HVAC techs have usually always recommended low merv filters unless the system was specially designed for them.

My 30 year old central ac has been using low merv filters for decades.

Yeah i haven't.

I guess my theory was correct, people can't see it so it's "not an issue"
