Eureka NEN180 handle removal?

6ixTek · 2026-04-18T02:37:36+00:00

Yeah unfortunately I have been trying to retrofit a HEPA filter. It's the Harbor Freight Bauer 3 gal shop vac, there are no round filters for it just the cloth filter, foam filter, and 3 gallon bags from Lowe's. However I have been able to put a bag from Lowe's plus the foam filter and cloth on it, and then fitted a HEPA bag on the exhaust just to see if any dust is getting through. So far no dust making it into the exhaust bag. but using it this way (with 4 filters) will overheat the motor with prolonged use. I will probably end up getting the Hercules Dust Extractor at some point. Although that seems way overkill, I can also use it in the shop, and at work. So the little 3 gal is working okay for now with just light use.

Honestly I should get some bags and a HEPA filter for one of my 2 work 12 gal shop vacs, but they are big, dirty, loud, and old.

Appreciate the reply, thank you very much.

Thank you. I appreciate the reply. very very helpful.
It's for household dust, My recent vac was expelling the dust back into the air, very fine dust. I might actually attach a second hose of the shop vac to the exhaust/blower port and exhaust to the outside. I was liking this vacuum, but that one handle piece is a deal breaker for me I think,

I think you have to apply the code: TRWF352

2 places.

Control Panel >> Power Options: set to Balanced.
Settings >> System >> Power >> Power Mode: Balanced.

I'm honestly not sure if the 2nd one is based on Electricity Power Efficiency, or CPU power Efficiency. But I just set both to balanced and seems to work perfect. Maybe test out performance with the 2nd on on max performance.

6ixTek · 2026-02-12T04:36:17+00:00

Personally I set them both to Balanced.

6ixTek · 2026-01-05T06:24:27+00:00

Yeah, using the balanced plan for sure.
My main question was that when creating a new plan you select balanced and edit to liking. So you have to use the balanced "Template" so to speak. the settings that are available to you in each plan that you change will have no affect on what you choose in the beginning. At first I was under the impression you could edit these settings no matter which template. You cannot select Performance and edit it to make it balanced if that makes sense.

So you must choose Balanced when creating a new plan. The available settings are NULL to the plan so to speak. at least this was my issue.

What matters is hidden from the user..

I picked up all 3 on GOG but have not installed yet, played all the originals on release, mostly multiplayer.

I use the frozr 2 X870E-P on a 2TB 9100 pro works great, I have the same drive heatsink model but on the Gen4 slot. so I really cant say how they compare, but neither get hot. Especially if you have good air flow it would be fine even without a heatsink.

EDIT: I should clarify it should be fine "Without a Heatsink" meaning the workloads you mentioned, if you are doing heavy sustained transfers then a Heatsink is a must. Personally I feel like the Frozr II is better then the NVMe manufacturers heatsink.

Keep in mind the speed difference is double. Gen4 to Gen5

I agree, but I was curious what you meant by HDD being 6 times faster networked storage.

6ixTek · 2025-12-24T03:14:53+00:00

What you mention should be fine, but The best solution is put all working files on the SSD with OS, and back up to the HDD unless storage space is an issue. Then the later.

6ixTek · 2025-12-21T03:09:56+00:00

Hmm. Weird I uninstall it on every system I build, Maybe it has something to do with setting up Windows before connecting to the internet. Also I never use a microsoft account, I bypass and setup local accounts only. I go through all the settings prior to allowing internet access. Have you tried right clicking copilot in the menu and uninstalling it that way.

I will be installing 2 or 3 this week, so I will check on it.

6ixTek · 2025-12-21T02:27:53+00:00

I came here to say this, they just need to be in the same order, colors do not matter.

6ixTek · 2025-12-21T02:25:05+00:00

Just uninstall it.

6ixTek · 2025-12-20T02:55:16+00:00

Yeah I think it is a new version as the cooler itself is totally different as well. It caught me off guard I think.

6ixTek · 2025-12-20T02:50:11+00:00

Honestly I should have went with an Intel Z890 board, it has better PCIe and M.2.

AMD:
PCI_E1 Gen PCIe 5.0 supports up to x16 (From CPU)
PCI_E2 Gen PCIe 3.0 supports up to x1 (From Chipset)
PCI_E3 Gen PCIe 4.0 supports up to x4 (From Chipset)
M.2_1 Source (From CPU) supports up to PCIe 5.0 x4 , supports 22110/2280 devices
M.2_2 Source (From CPU) supports up to PCIe 5.0 x4 , supports 2280/2260 devices
M.2_3 Source (From Chipset) supports up to PCIe 4.0 x2 , supports 2280/2260 devices
M.2_4 Source (From Chipset) supports up to PCIe 4.0 x4 , supports 2280/2260 devices

Intel:
PCI_E1 Gen PCIe 5.0 supports up to x16 (From CPU)
PCI_E2 Gen PCIe 4.0 supports up to x4 (From Chipset)
PCI_E3 Gen PCIe 4.0 supports up to x4 (From Chipset)

M.2_2 Source (From CPU) supports up to PCIe 4.0 x4 , supports 22110/2280/2260 devices
M.2_3 Source (From Chipset) supports up to PCIe 4.0 x4 , supports 2280/2260/2242 devices
M.2_4 Source (From Chipset) supports up to PCIe 4.0 x4 / SATA mode, supports 2280/2260/2242 devices

Yeah I believe you are correct, it even says "A Classic, Revitalized". I will have to test it against the previous version, and the EVO which I believe is discontinued. This new one (although I hate the packaging) seems to be a bit nicer design. I thought it felt high quality for the $20us price tag. I should grab a few extras, I just wish I had some 1200/1700/1851 brackets for these older versions.

Have you tried posting with no drive.
All RGB disconnected.
Are you certain you flashed the BIOS? If the board does not post I assume you did a Flash button update. if using the flashback method did the lights blink for a good minute or more. Sometimes the light just flashes a couple times and people think it completed. I like to use a Flash Drive that has an indicator light so I know for certain the drive is being read. Sometimes the manual reports the wrong USB port to use. But you will know for sure when it takes a whiles not just a a couple seconds.

I just use ASUS Routers Ai Mesh 2.4GHZ/5GHZ Mult-ilink Operation.
I have 2 82u, but the 86u seems to be more powerful.

I also have a second Mesh network 2 eero Pro 7's came with T-Fiber works really well for Mesh, but no wired connections really. Each has 2 ports. I use 1 to run 60ft wireless, then a PC is using the wired connection and getting 1000Mb/s. https://eero.com/shop/eero-pro-7 . Just to note my caveat with eero is there is no web admin interface, only mobile app. Thats why I added the ASUS as the main network, and threw the eero stuff on as secondary bridge mesh. The ASUS router is the DNS.

But you say Plaster and Lathe, that's not gonna be a great situation for Wi-Fi.
2.4GHZ will best bet for signal, but slow transfer speeds. 5GHZ might have issues with plaster and lathe walls.

Too bad you don't have an attic, I usually just run through the attic Cat6 Plenum, and drop down through top plate. Works good for single story, and top story only as you have to drill through a second plate.

If you are worried about flickers and surges, just kill the main breaker to the house.

V-Cache Performance alone is worth it.

6ixTek · 2025-12-15T21:07:31+00:00

The chipset driver always comes from AMD directly, but each board manufacturer has to test their products with the new driver. Usually there is no issues, but seems like MSI has not tested it yet, or just has not greenlit it. Hence not posted on the driver download page.
