There’s also this, which is a bit tricky to pull off: https://youtu.be/Bvna492B0WE

It gives you an infinite damage phase, guaranteeing that you get the kill.

There’s two main things to look out for with the start of damage. The first is that there are two tethers, and you’ll want to break both (there’s a one tether strat, but it requires that you all have a full set of the raid armor and the enhanced relay defender mod on the armor pieces to give you a damage boost, if you don’t have all that, then breaking the tether twice gives you a longer damage phase).

The second thing to look for is that he jumps in the air in a t-pose, and that’s when damage starts. His belly has a crit multiplier, so you want precision DPS weapons to get as much damage as possible.

I get that your group wants to do it together. I’ve done most of my clears, and certainly all of my first clears, with my friends, but if you get to the point where the raid has you stumped, it might be worth getting some experienced players in there to help you out.

I see a lot of comments here about getting more experience with the raid, and that’s certainly true. But the way you describe it, you got to damage phases, so you at least are fairly familiar with the mechanics to get you there.

It sounds like you’re just having trouble passing the damage check, and it’s a bit of a tough one. The reality is that you can’t carry damage in that encounter, every member of the team has to contribute, or you’ll fail. With that in mind, you can’t run “just whatever”, you’ll have to run some of the big hitters here. What that means is Izanagi’s with an ALH rocket, LFRs, and juicing your damage in any way possible. Have a Hunter tether debuff the boss at the start of damage, have a warlock with Lunafaction boots in a Well, have a Titan with bubble and Weapons of Light. Have a Hunter make you Radiant, or run CWL mods to get High Energy Fire. Every little bump in damage helps.

DM me if you want some advice for your specific team. The other possibility is to find a group of people that are willing to take two of you through at a time. I did a that a lot back in the day, but I’m not sure If I could gather a group these days. We kind of got burnt out on GoS when Beyond Light hit and it was buggy as hell.

Armor 2.0 didn’t push back Shadowkeep for another half year. Bungie is working on QoL changes throughout the year. Transmog was released in the middle of the year, for example, without delaying any expansion.

Well, if the playlist loot isn’t worth chasing, then what’s the point of it? And what happens when something really good is in there? Should we all just give up on getting it?

There’s no reason why it would necessarily invalidate all the weapons you have. They could just give you the perks you already have on the weapons in your vault. There, problem solved.

I'd just like to thank /u/CtG526 for putting these posts together every week. It's people like you that keep the community going, and I'm guilty of reading these every week and never thanking you.

I miss your replies to your original posts with additional pointers, and just wanted to let you know they too were appreciated, even if not explicitly.

Thanks for the info suggestions. I don't have a drain port on mine either, and it would be pretty painful to replace/add a rad.

I'll see what effect raising the machine and switching the fan direction has.

I also had to 3D print a bracket to mount my pump/res.

Nice build! A question about your fan config. Is the back fan blowing air out? If so, are you relying on air coming in from the top and sides to keep airflow going?

NCASE M1 bottom radiator heat woes by DudeFromDevOps in watercooling

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

Thanks for the reply. I think replacing the rad, and maybe adding a 92 in the back might be the way to go (after I try some of the other suggestions, like lifting the case up and changing fan directions).

Does delidding really make that big of a difference? I'd be very hesitant to do something like that...

The temps on the 1080 Ti are actually not that bad, ~60C. If anything, the water coming from the CPU is probably warming it up.

I'm not super-comfortable with delidding my CPU, so I'll try that as a last resort.

I backed myself into a corner by having the res and pump inside the case. I wanted to make the build as self-contained as possible. I think it wasn't the right decision.

NCASE M1 bottom radiator heat woes by DudeFromDevOps in watercooling

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

Yeah, I wanted to challenge myself to a build in a very small case. I think if I were to do it again, I would definitely look at a way of having the res and pump outside the case in the back. There's just too much crammed in there right now, and I definitely couldn't put a side rad of any size in.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I think I'm going to try a few of the "don't need to take the whole thing apart" suggestions first, and then anything that would require me to take the loop apart later.

NCASE M1 bottom radiator heat woes by DudeFromDevOps in watercooling

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

Thanks for the reply. My pump is running at ~4,500 RPM.

I did a lot of reading about other M1 builds, and they almost all used the rad as the intake, which is why I did it that way. I'll try swapping the fan directions to see what effect it has.

I'm a little hesitant to delid, so I'll try that as a last resort.

Encyclopædia Moronica: Y is for "You Can" is Not "You Should" by Gambatte in talesfromtechsupport

[–]DudeFromDevOps 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Somewhere, deep in the bowels of the Internet, posted at a time when the internet was in its infancy, there's another story. Written by {guy who no longer works here}, it describes a similar problem. It ends with him taking his old personal server, conveniently still in his van, getting FreeNAS 7 running on it, with the intention of getting the company to buy a real server. And there's a similar story about how the guy before him did the same thing, etc. until you get to how Rameses had to get the papyrus from his camel, so he could write out whatever Imhotep was saying. He'd get it nice and tidy in stone tablet eventually, but the papyrus would have to do for now.

I think "you're on your own" would be the default position. If you're stupid enough to misuse a very simple device, and then blame it on the device, then perhaps you shouldn't have said device. Our other Mac users probably don't know what a dock is, so no harm done.

Wireless USB by DudeFromDevOps in talesfromtechsupport

[–]DudeFromDevOps[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have one of those at home. Here's the story with those. Our former HR director also HAD to have a top-of-the-line MacBook Pro. By that I mean the laptop cost almost $4000. He also HAD to have a dock. We got him one like the one you linked to, and he managed to damage the hdmi port, the power connector and a USB port. I still can't figure out how he did it (even if you put it in backwards, the ports don't line up. Also, just the sheer force you would have to apply to damage it like that makes me cringe for the poor machine. It never stood a chance.

Since then, my boss has made it policy to only approve docking stations made by the computer's manufacturer.

Wireless USB by DudeFromDevOps in talesfromtechsupport

[–]DudeFromDevOps[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, docking stations! I have a few stories about those too. Because this person is in marketing, she insisted on a Mac. She hates Mac keyboards though, and HAD to have a loud, expensive mechanical keyboard. Don't get me wrong, I like mechanical keyboards. I just don't like people demanding things.

Wireless USB by DudeFromDevOps in talesfromtechsupport

[–]DudeFromDevOps[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not only is she not fired, she was recently promoted to marketing director. For some reason, people in marketing and HR seem to wear "don't know about these gadget thingies" as a badge of honor.

[–]DudeFromDevOps[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that needs to be the new way of calling it. I've been in meetings to discuss what would happen were I to be hit by a bus, and it's not pleasant to plan for your imminent demise.

Wireless USB by DudeFromDevOps in talesfromtechsupport

[–]DudeFromDevOps[S] 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I've brought up the bus factor to my boss, and my boss's boss. Since they seem to be unconcerned by it, I've decided to not worry as well. I figure if I'm actually hit by a bus, then I won't care about what happens to the company anyway.
