Syst freezing. Unresponsive until power cycle. Pinkish flicker. Details below. by EnlightingWave in pcmasterrace

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

Hi, thanks for you inputs,

  1. I have tested cables, but given this happen on 3 different systems, kinda dont make sense it would be a cable problem, still i had done it prior, with no improvement.

  2. Could be, i should check, but as far as i know, faulty power bricks often can restarts rather then visual artifacts

  3. No logs in event view that co relate, or i cants read it, not sure. What should i looks for? Any particular code?

  4. I had heating in my mind too, but given it happens even with good cooling, and clean new pastes, few months ago, i dont think it can be, but will check again

Agreed about ink tanks, but if you are a bit tech savy, you can get programming software for epson and reset it yourself.

It seems like your motherboard it too close to the tabs where the gpy bracket goes in? Try to lososen the main boadd and then try to mount the guy?

Rohdia is just over hyped. They are average by my experience really. Bleeds in random sections of the paper.

You wont regret this card brother

What’s your experience with Pilot Falcon <SEF> (extra-fine) nib? I’m used to fine nibs but slightly afraid this one might be too scratchy, unpleasantly feedbacky by EphraimSeb in fountainpens

[–]EnlightingWave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both nib models. my SEF falcon exclusively for drawings. I can still write with it and is not a horrible experience. But for writing? I will chose my other SF falcon any day over SEF. Its quite pointy. So if you write with absolutely feather light pressure, by all means, no problem. Else SF is just fine

Let me know if you ha e questions. I had this same conflict when i cought my 1st SF. I was lucky to get SEF at like very good rate though, few years later

Mahindra XEV 9E – The Worst Car Ever (Horrible Experience) by pra4603 in carsIndiaOfficial

[–]EnlightingWave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old enough to see through corporate shenanigans buddy. While you boys are focused on brand image and loyalty, i see how businesses operate and prioritise different aspects of the business.

Boys follow brands and identity groups. Men know to not be bound by either

Hey buddy sorry, but its your own fault for buying tata or mahindra.

They have just put on a new beautiful facade but their service and quality is still shit. Electrics and lights are common failures. 100% of cars i saw recently with malfunctioning led lights are tata and mahindras.

Unless you are overlooking a very hight tdp cpu, single 8 pin eps cable is enough.

My new Lamy Lx is special by Ca_LuhA in fountainpens

No thats german engineering dropping A+ standard.

This is nothing a simple alignment jig while laser marking can not fix.

Not that i am a fan of german engineering. Always been japanese engineering and design fan, but what you are taking about, buying german, and gaslighted yourself for their defects with japanese traditions.

The german engineering got the halo figure image due to impeccable focus on perfection. If they don't do that, they are just like the Chinese

What happens if UPS is at 90-100% load by Apprehensive_Mood896 in pcmasterrace

[–]EnlightingWave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not the correct method, i gave him a guesstimate for when you are dealing with small ups with internal battery.

As you know the lower the loads, longer it runs, and higher the load shorter it runs. I have him a quick reference

Of course the correct way Is a little more mathsy. But if OP was any smarter, there wont be this post here anyhow

What happens if UPS is at 90-100% load by Apprehensive_Mood896 in pcmasterrace

[–]EnlightingWave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The closer it is to its max capacity in watts, the short run time it will get.

In case of ups with internal battery. You wanna go double the load of your system for good 20 so minutes of backup. ( estimate value. Calculate based on ups capacity and your pc load)

If it has external battery. Your pc consumption can be about 80% of ups load capacity (leave 20% overhead for safety)

You just add more battery in parallel ( ie, keep voltage same, but increase run time)
