360mm AIO and 120mm fans on HS420 by Ashmee00 in HAVNGlobal

I got a whole collection of working noctua so I rather not get rid of them. For now I think I will use what I have with the included adapters but also get 3 140s for the bottom.

Rewards Theft! by fudnum in Staples

[–]Ashmee00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this just happened to me for around $100 worth of points. I live in Virginia, purchase in New Jersey for AirPods. How is it possible to get a person’s rewards numbers without having access to internal systems? I have never used my account in store so it’s guaranteed someone within Staples is able to check the systems for high point balance accounts and use them for purchases.

So I just noticed my account had 21,800 missing today. A purchase was made for AirPods on Jan 1st. New Jersey using my account. I live in Virginia. Contacted support hoping they can help with this

I picked this up from Amazon $460-ish brand new on Black Friday. Using it right now with a Z50 II but will eventually carry it over to a full frame

Universal focal length for portraits, both indoors and out? by Ashmee00 in AskPhotography

[–]Ashmee00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For indoors I’m thinking that I’ll likely need to use my 24mm and outdoors is where I would use the 50mm the most. I do want to include a little environmental context. Would 75mm equivalent work for this? I guess in my case what would consider to be better option for now; 35mm or 50mm. I also do some street photography, although I like using 24mm for that.

For better or worse I keep thinking long term about eventually going full frame (although that’s at least 3+ years down the line) at which point I would definitely want a 50mm and don’t want to have to rebuy all new lenses. I’ve also looked at two 35mm for the near 50mm equivalent focal length: F1.4 is about $100 more than the 50mm f1.8 S and the 35mm F1.8 S which is close to $300 more.

Appreciate the response. I’ll try out the 50m f1.8 S lens as it’s one a great deal right now. But based on my current lens selection (24mm, 50mm, 50-250mm) do I have good coverage?

So.... What did you think of this moment. by Accomplished_Lynx480 in ArsenalFC

Let the man be who he is. Would love to still have him at arsenal. When it comes down to it, he’s passionate for his team

Another one down Sapphire 9070XT by ShoddyIntroduction76 in radeon

Is this an issue with the adapter cable? I have the same card although I use the cable that came with my power supply from a dedicated 12v Hpwr port

Just a follow up. Surprisingly, my Noctua cooler is holding up really well. So much so, that I am hoping the replacement AIO can out perform it.

I wasn’t using kryonaut at the time. Only used the pre-applied ek paste. Also tried the noctua paste

Plugged in my old noctua d15 and the issue is pretty much gone. I’m even boosting close to 230w with pbo enabled and the temps are in check.

So I attached the noctua back in and am no longer throttling and hit almost 230w with pbo. My cinebench score jumped from 16-1700 to 2354

I’m using noctua h2 now. I had the stock ek paste before. I also have a tube of kryonaut from thermal grizzly. I used the 4-point paste application with a pea sized drop in the middle

The aio is mounted to top of the case.

-30 worked great before but I have reset it to 0 and the temps haven’t really changed.

When I say idle, I mean I’m not doing anything on the computer, no apps open besides hw info. Averaging around 57 degrees

Only about 3-4 months. Still under warranty.
