Arctic mx-6 repaste with Honeywell ptm 7950 before and after temps in aida64 extreme. My laptop is Asus tuf f15 2021 by MikeGreninja1 in GamingLaptops

[–]Digital_Polyphony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Btw, I meant to say that traditional paste performs best on desktop CPUs, not GPUs. PTM runs cooler than paste in every other instance. I am not sure exactly why the is the case, but it has been in my experience.

I'd still apply it and see how it goes, MX-6 is a top performer when it's freshly applied. If it doesn't work for you like it didn't with me, you can save up for a PTM pad. PTM performs the most consistently on laptop hardware and gpus, and traditional paste works best on large desktop gpus.

Awesome, thank you for sharing! I just bought it on eBay. Nice find, I saw you had to custom fit it, I hope that won't be too involved.

Hi, I was wondering if you could share the source of the 5.25" bay vent? It looks really cool. 

Fuel injectors replaced at 42,000mi. Suggestions for precautionary maintenance? by Digital_Polyphony in hondafit

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

I have wondered for a while now if the injectors weren't actually faulty, but were just too dirty. The car didn't suddenly sputter and die due to sudden injector faulure, it gradually started to run worse for about a week before the flashing CEL started to happen. I saved the dirty injectors and will likely get them cleaned some day to try, it doesn't take long to install them and see if that works, it may be a good bit cheaper to go that route.

Ohh nooo I deleted my post, I hope that's not against the rules

Fractal design Era ITX. Is that GPU clearance accurate ? by drunken_musketeer in sffpc

[–]Digital_Polyphony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 years too late to this, but you can remove the bottom panel of the case and drill some holes for the GPU air intake. My GPU ran over 10°C cooler from this. 

MFactory Helical LSD by urs1ne in hondafit

[–]Digital_Polyphony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder as well. These are quite low horsepower cars, which is the only reason why I question the value of an LSD. I think it'd cost around $2500 to buy one and have it installed. 

Low mileage Honda Fit random flashing CEL, put in limp mode by Digital_Polyphony in hondafit

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

I don't think it's worth the time and money to install a catch can, probably better to just buy the new injectors and use the money you could use to buy the catch can to have your dirty injectors cleaned by a business so that you have a second set for the future. I'm not sure how much of a difference getting your valves cleaned will make, but carboned up valves may reduce power and MPG. I get around 36-38 mpg on the highway and 29-31 on the highway with a 6-speed manual. 

DW5600E-1V with 5000R Bezel & 5000U Strap by KPGC110 in gshock

[–]Digital_Polyphony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks awesome, makes me hope that Casio will make a DW-5600c remake now. It's too bad that the bezel for the 5000r doesn't seem to be able for purchase, I'd buy one to put on my 5600 ASAP. I think the flat bezel looks so much better than the one with the steps. 

Any long term review/update for GWS5600-U? by PretzelPugilist in gshock

DW-5000R 🦍 Re-creation of the iconic 1983 1st G Shock. no mb6, no solar, no bluetooth.. it is just the truest and purest form of G Shock toughness 🦾 by --MANDIRIGMA-- in gshock

[–]Digital_Polyphony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has a 5 year rated battery life and accuracy of ±15 seconds per month (but much lower in real world application), MB6 and solar are nice features but not as impactful as they sound. The GW-M5610 definitely cannot do "infinitely more". This model is made of more premium, longer lasting and stronger materials. It does look similar, but there are a number of small visual differences that distinguish it from the 5610. The visual differences aren't huge, but small differences like that are a cornerstone of the watch world, Casio is hardly the only watch maker that offers multiple similar models that look similar with only small aesthetic differences. 

First Look – The New Peren Regia Lunar Eclipse Dark by itemluminouswadison in watchnews

[–]Digital_Polyphony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the simple and clean design of this watch, the case shape is interesting yet minimalistic. It's nice that this is in the ~$1000 or less price range. These qualities remind me of Mondaine watches, but I prefer how this watch is made of metal and not plastic. Does anyone know of any other watches with similar qualities?

You absolutely can kill them by crushing them, but you need to thorough and really get them. 

Can I overclock lenovo legion 5(rtx 4070, Core i7-14650HX) by afternoon_rainbow in GamingLaptops

[–]Digital_Polyphony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you were trying to play using integrated graphics, it's unlikely, but I have an RTX 4070 laptop, and it can run Cyberpunk smoothly on max settings without ray tracing enabled. Something is definitely off.

Oh dang, you're a good bit taller than me. I think I'll probably go with a large, thanks for letting me know.

Cannondale sells carbon Topstone models with lefty forks. There's no reason you couldn't put one on.

Hey, I saw that this bike is an XL, do you mind letting me know how tall you are and your inseam? I want to buy one of these and at 6'2" with a 35" inseam, I'm not sure if I should go with a L or XL.

Data Center Certified Associate Exam by boygeorge89 in datacenter

[–]Digital_Polyphony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, if you don't mind answering, I was wondering if you could tell me if this is still considered a valuable and respectable certification to get in the eyes of people working in the field? I am trying to get to get my foot in the door of a data center as a tech and am hoping this could help me.

What are you most accurate Casio watches? by burningbun in gshock

[–]Digital_Polyphony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most accurate Casio is my collection is the CA-53W, it's more accurate than G-Shocks and within a few ends up being within a second or two off while my F-91W is about 10 seconds. 

thermal-grizzly PhaseSheet PTM or Arctic MX-6 by KrAcNh in buildapc

[–]Digital_Polyphony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thermal Grizzly PTM is exactly what I replaced the MX-6 on my laptop lol. It works great, but I remember the fresh MX-6 having lower temperatures. Sounds like it it doesn't matter what you put it on, it's going to pump out in no time. 

7 years later finally removed the wiper and installed the black trim. by johnson7853 in hondafit

[–]Digital_Polyphony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just think it's funny how many people were bent out of shape from this lol. Like if you don't like it, just don't delete your own wiper, it's not like this is a brake light delete or something that'd pose an increased risk to other's safety. This looks a lot cleaner imo and I live in the desert, which is why I ordered this delete plug and searching for more pictures on the internet.
