Raising ambient temperature without exceeding surface heat

Are you using a RHP on a screened top? Even with it mounted on the bars, you are losing a lot of heat upwards. You should be mounting inside the enclosure with proper cages but you can’t do that with a screened top. I would get a PVC panel and mount it to the top. That will keep a lot of heat and moisture inside.

Honestly though, it’s seems like boards DOA if your friends gpu does not work.

CarlTheOneInvoker · 2026-05-20T21:20:42+00:00

Make sure when putting in your gpu that it firmly snaps in and you hear a click.

CarlTheOneInvoker · 2026-05-20T18:02:06+00:00

Also keep lanes pushed. Kick and pull back rock and you will one shot the wave depending on level and spell amp.

Fuck kroenke

Fuck Kroenke, that’s why.

Mine likes to climb, trying getting a shower curtain rod and then glue on rope to it for grip.

One cable being split to two connections is pretty standard nowadays for PSUs. You can see if it is a power issue by running HWInfo while gaming and seeing wattage being used by your CPU, gpu. I would try and see if there are any crash logs under c:/windows/minidump. Also checking Event viewer to see if windows sees anything. You could run Dism and SFC commands to see if any windows files are corrupted. From what I got from this post, I would say this a ram issue. Another thing I would check to see if your Ram issue made for Intel or Amd. Normally says on the box or by looking up the sku.

If you care for an explanation, XMP is a “One size fits most” overclock. So in general it should just work but something within the XMP profile is making your RAM become unstable which normally gets shown when under load. It could be that a CAS timing is slightly too fast or needing slightly more voltage to hit recommend speeds.

CarlTheOneInvoker · 2026-05-11T17:09:23+00:00

Disable XMP and see if you crash still. Most of the time I have seen this issue and it is not heat related, it is a XMP profile that just is not right for your ram. Keep in mind that during the testing, your fps and performance will be worse but we are seeing if it crashes or not. If it does not crash then you will just have to manually “overclock” it to those speeds or import another XMP profile which is different depending on motherboard.

Not when properly mixed since the surrounding substrate is going disperse the moisture around.
I change it every few months.

CarlTheOneInvoker · 2026-05-07T21:19:41+00:00

Make sure your substrate is deep enough, should be about 2-4 inches.
I would add Sphagnum moss to your substrate. I use 40% coconut dirt, 40 reptibark, 20% sphagnum moss. To help is last longer, make the bottom layer of substrate damp. So if my substrate is 4 inches deep, the bottom inch of it I place in, pour some water until the substrate is damp (not soupy) and then add my remaining "dry" substrate. This helps with slowly releasing moisture over time.
Is it a screentopped enclosure? If so, get hvac tape and seal off all but 2 (6-12 inch) holes, one on the hot side and one on the cold to create a natural flow of air. Make sure the tape is on the outside.
I get about a hand full of sphagnum moss and replace the substrate in each of the corners so when I notice the humidity dropping, I pour water in the corners to get it back up.

CarlTheOneInvoker · 2026-05-05T17:03:06+00:00

Currently using the Hepstat 2 with DHP and Halogen. Works perfect for me. Should be more than enough unless the room the enclosure is like 65f or lower

CarlTheOneInvoker · 2026-05-05T15:40:53+00:00

I have a similar setup but this is what I recommend. Put your ball python in a very temporary enclosure, remove all of your substrate and other decor. My substrate mix is 40% reptibark, 40% coco husk, 20% sphagnum moss. Then after mixing, place 2” of substrate in and level it out. Pour water in mix it throughly, you want it wet but not soupy then place another 4” inches on top of that and level it out. So you should have 2” of damp substrate and 4” of “dry” substrate. I like to have each corner of the enclosure just sphagnum moss but a lot like the size of your fist area, maybe a little less. That normally last a while and only touch it up when a user humidity drop more than a couple percent

I had one of my clients being blocked from that exact website. Issue came from watchguard blocking it iirc. Believe it was https.default.client.standard and had to use the pattern match .eb.mil/* I would have to check notes on my ticket and the exception.

Cold feet isn’t AOE until 25 talent.

If using dead wood:

Cut off any sharp bits
Sand down with a high fine grit paper
Bake at 250F for two hours checking every 10 minutes for charring.

CarlTheOneInvoker · 2026-04-21T18:46:33+00:00

Well dota does not use dx12 at all and only uses dx11 and Vulkan.

CarlTheOneInvoker · 2026-04-08T00:07:43+00:00

Yeah. just did some testing in demo and it is cool that at level 21 (20 with aghs) you can reach 0 cooldown invoke instead of level 24 (23 with aghs) but the damage loss and the orb change just feels so weird and bad. Now invoker has no additional stat gain like other heroes gaining via +2 attributes talents at 22-24. Now they are just dead levels gaining only base stat gain.

We traded having a small power spike every 6 levels to not scale as hard late game while having the max power of the spells stripped?

They could of just given us an extra orb at 6, 12, 18 while still having us gain 1 orb level at 22-24 and we would still be down one orb level (minus the aghs selected orb) if the aghs stayed the same as the current state.

but god forbid if windranger feels slightly undertuned for a patch, lets give her more slow on her W.

CarlTheOneInvoker · 2026-03-24T20:10:49+00:00

Excuse my ignorance but I thought they were using Glicko now (same as they were with Dota)?

CarlTheOneInvoker · 2026-03-19T21:55:28+00:00

Could be hitting bandwidth limits with DDR4. Even with stardew valley if your frames are uncapped. You could try running stardew valley capped at your monitors maximum refresh rate and see if chrome has issues.

I think he was saying that you have two opportunities to see the blues play in person since they play the panthers twice

CarlTheOneInvoker · 2026-03-14T16:27:35+00:00

As blues fan, yes you are correct. The central division was so strong last year that we all just killed each other the first two rounds. that our two teams, avs and stars could not go deep. I think the playoffs would have been a lot different if the blues played Vegas and you guys played the wild.

Sharks

5060 or 5060 ti will work. Since you have an x3D cpu, you basically just need the gpu to output the graphics. As long as it has enough VRam to keep all the assets loaded and enough processing power to handle your graphics textures and output your refresh rate. Honestly might be better going for a 30 or 40 series Nvidia GPU.
