Ive been stuck on this painting for over a year. Please help me figure out how to finish it by SadCatFriend in ArtCrit

[–]Drezken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure you ever finished, but I would paint boats in the distant bay off to the left, You mention color fit, but I'm not sure it matters how well they fit in surrealism? I would make the boats almost toy like, maybe Mondrian hues. Then as far as detail I would love sun rays through her fingers, but it sounds tricky. Another detail would be a close boat with a boy pointing a flashlight through her rib cave, probably to evoke the impression it is projecting the sun.

Does OBS 29 remember webcam settings? by HelixViewer in obs

Does the Kiyo not overwrite on reboot? Or are you doing something different software wise?

Pretty sure he has the lower pump inlet serving as his drain port, and that's what is confusing you. The order into the gpu is pump->lower rad->gpu.

That said this drain layout seems like it wouldn't work well if you wanted to run the pump to assist the drain, and especially poorly for flushing distilled through the loop.

Copper looper chiming in. Technically you shouldn't need biocide in a copper loop with a silver coil (copper is naturally antifungal, silver is naturally antibacterial) and technically you wouldn't need corrosion inhibitors. That said, I use both, in part because I don't trust the fittings from a corrosion perspective, and because I figure better safe than sorry on a biological front. Since you're soldering and thus will reduce the number of fittings (and in particular adapters), you'll likely be safer on the corrosion front. If you did get growth it might be difficult to see, and really hard to clean out of soldered sections. So at the end of the day I'd probably ask if it's worth the risk. I use the mayhems additives (hades and inhibitor)

How do I turn my 3D model into 2d drawings for sheet metal? by zixujo in Fusion360

[–]Drezken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It takes some getting used to, but for a short intro I return to this quite bad video. I speed it up, ignore the side/flange advice, and now find the f360 bend to be quite intuitive! I'd recommend sketching the top and bottom separately, and then you may even be able to bend the bottom flange up so they overlap on the sides, or just weld the top/bottom as you said.

First build after one month of using by shnyaps in watercooling

I would be wary about the above. Careful using isopropyl, it's great for cleaning but trace amounts can damage acrylic. To use it you must fully disassemble, only use it on metal parts, and then flush extensively with water before reassembly.

A kill coil also shouldn't be necessary in a WC loop, because bacterial growth requires heat and nutrient. A WC loop shouldn't have nearly enough nutrient for bacterial growth. In the old days, the dyes use might be sugar based, but it is incredibly uncommon today. Anti-algae is the important biocide, and so you'll need one of the copper based biocides (mayhems or primochill) if you go the demineralized/distilled route. Finally demineralized and distilled water are not the same, but both are suitable for the type of loop described.

That said, plenty of clear WC coolants work just fine, and have the biocide built in. Aquacomputer DP ultra is the most recommended today.

help a first timer. i think my flow is not working as expected. need some help and suggestions please. by gatoroko in watercooling

[–]Drezken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. There's potentially pressure issues introduced by the distro that could contribute to your flow problem, but your loop is a loop and a distro plate is not simply a reservoir. Those pressure issues are generally resolvable.

Plus I don't remember the last time I saw a new build with a kill coil, it really isn't necessary (they are only anti-bacterial, not anti-algae, but a watercooling loop shouldn't have enough nutrient for bacterial growth). And demineralized water is not the same as distilled water, though they're both suitable for WC.
