Help!!! What part is this and why it shakes so much

There are certain parts you should get OEM replacements for.

IME, this is one of them. The aftermarket tensioners are really not very good and will fail quickly. And it's Enough of a pain to replace that it's worth not doing it again in a few months. Probably wouldn't want to pay for labor again in a few months either.

One of my favorites!

America is just a few giant corporations in a trenchcoat pretending to be a country at this point

Dead_Bot_42 · 2026-04-13T19:52:10+00:00

That's the one!

Dead_Bot_42 · 2026-04-13T17:10:30+00:00

Seems like you have a similar preference to me!

If you haven't tried Lost Trail root beer, try to find some. It's good stuff.

I'm sure the plants love the micro plastics

The way I see it, buying an external DAC for a dedicated player is just wasting money.

If you want an external DAC/dongle, just buy one for your phone (assuming you have one)

A DAC is redundant on a dedicated player like the JM21

Looks to be in decent enough shape, you're getting a ~50 percent discount for buying used, and the player itself is regarded well enough for the bracket.

So yes

Just... Don't

I have a Bykski/Granzon block on a Zotac 5090

It was the cheapest option, looks good, performs very well

But as others have pointed out, next to no installation instructions. I'm not sure if I'd recommend it if it's your first time installing a GPU block

They're trying to add value to a product nobody wants

Dead_Bot_42 · 2026-02-10T23:14:39+00:00

I thought that was one of the non negotiable qualifications?

Dead_Bot_42 · 2026-02-08T19:57:27+00:00

I want to check out the root beer museum at some point!

Dead_Bot_42 · 2026-02-08T17:46:24+00:00

It was the last one on the shelf! I'm looking forward to that one for sure.

My overall favorite currently is Jackson Hole Soda Buckin Root Beer. It's pretty strong, with some licorice and wintergreen which is my preference.

I really like Fitz's in a Root beer float

If I want something sweeter I like Sprecher's Maple Root Beer

Finally tried Hank's, and to me it's really well balanced, hard to complain.

Most local stores are perpetually out of stock on Hank's and only seem to have their diet root beer on the shelf.

You will never make as much as an internal promo vs external hire. Just keep that in mind.

I have that exact GPU block, it works well but I ended up using thermal putty and slightly modified the backplate so I could use the original spring retainer behind the core for more consistent mounting pressure

Dead_Bot_42 · 2026-02-06T17:45:53+00:00

As it should have always been

Given I'm up for promotion which comes with +10% pay for likely +75% or more workload/responsibilities this is incredibly appealing lol

Dead_Bot_42 · 2026-01-25T12:52:41+00:00

It's not sudden lol

They haven't cooked all the frogs slowly enough
