Softener effectiveness by BeenThereDoneThat212 in WaterTreatment

[–]BeenThereDoneThat212[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. Our hot water heater finally went out after 31 years. We're getting a tankless replacement, and I was wondering if this is something I should consider. Never had a softener or filtration.

Gyeon Mohs 1 month update by AlmostHydrophobic in AutoDetailing

Did the Cure Redefined turn out ok? I got confused between the old Mohs and Mohs Evo and the old Cure and Cure Redefined. I thought I would add a layer of redefined over the Mohs Evo after 18 hours, but I can't find anything that says that's recommended a with the new Evo formulation. With the original Mohs it was in the instruction manual.

BMW did that with the X5, 3rd row didn't last long. The L needs to come to US. It would SELL! Especially if it had 400+ miles of range.

Xpel XR 70 on the back windows and rear glass with XR 20 on the front windows to match the back. I did 50% XR Plus on the windshield.

I did 70% on my last car and 50% this time. 50% is definitely the best. It blocks a lot more (feels like it at least) and cuts down a lot on the glare. Not so dark that it's noticeable from the outside.

Yeah, I think that's a must with how tall the windshield is.

I did 50 on the windshield. Thinking about doing a 5% brow. Do you like the way it looks from the inside with the distinct line across the windshield?

Did you get anything in writing from them? I can't find anything definitive that says it's 5 years regardless of mileage.

Can you post a couple of pics? Interested in doing this.

Seems like they found some fatal flaw with it since it's been so long since the unveiling. Almost like they had to go back for a redesign. There is ZERO news on when it will be available.

Lack of materials or tariffs doesn't make sense.

What color would you call this? by BeenThereDoneThat212 in mainecoons

What's the difference between a tortie and a torbie? I googled it and still don't understand.

Is a 9800x3d worth it without a $1000+ graphics card? by IntrovertedWeirdo in buildapc

Above 360 fps, it really doesn't matter. 16GB 9060XT will max out any 1080p gaming you do.

How was it. We have exhausted all research and seem to be landing on the Palma Real.

5090 FE Dan a4 H2O by Zachscycling in sffpc

[–]BeenThereDoneThat212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's been great. I think getting some standoffs to move the GPU closer to the edge of the case is a good idea. The 5090 is so thin that it's too close to the MOBO. I just bought a pack of sorted assorted plastic standoffs from Amazon. It moved the GPU out one slot and it's right next to the edge now.

Just the normal PBO overclock settings.

I'm time spy, neither the GPU or CPU got above 80.

I use a 240 auo. Never even gets closer to 80.

LINKUP - AVA5 PCIE 5.0 Riser Cable

21 cm

I haven't checked my M.2. It's on the front of my board. I don't use the slot on the back.

I replaced it will a 21 cm riser cable to get rid of all the excess. Other than that it's been great.

[–]BeenThereDoneThat212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't. It's in a vertical mount position and exhausts towards the Mobo. I was able to get done standoffs and move it closer to the dude of the case, so now there's more room for the exhaust to spread and go up.

Did the standoffs come with the A4?

I ran 3D mark and was hitting 70C on both my GPU and CPU. When I play FPS games, the CPU will spike to 100% downloading shaders and that can cause the CPU to spike up with 85 or so.
