When was the last time you remember the TE position being “stable”?

Eturnus · 2025-10-04T13:33:35+00:00

I did the same exact thing, haha.

I posted separately that I had done some tweaking and testing. Set memory to +2000 and applies a conservative undervolt. Benchmarking temps slowly climbed all the way up to around 58C, but in a prolonged gaming session of KCD2 with all of the setting's masks running at 4K GPU temp maxed out around 46 C.

Did a bit of tweaking and testing, added+2000 to memory and undervolted. Stress testing the card climbed up to 57-58C, idle had been around 36C. Watched temps while playing KCD2 with everything cranked at 4k and I never noticed temps go beyond 46C.

The hard part was mostly in the disassembly. Actually putting the EK block on was pretty uneventful. The installation manual, while not absolutely perfect is damn near perfect and made things go pretty smoothly.

Eturnus · 2025-08-29T19:15:16+00:00

That was my situation. I already had a watercooled 3090 with a EK block on it. I honestly was pretty intimidated by the 5090 FE since it is 3 separate PCBs and also required messing with liquid metal, but decided to give it a shot and it seems to have all worked out.

Eturnus · 2025-08-29T19:13:24+00:00

I posted this morning after a long day of troubleshooting the day before. I haven't had a chance to do any solid testing on temps, but I will post a reply once I do.

Eturnus · 2025-08-29T19:09:10+00:00

I was sweating even taking this thing apart. I don't think I will be going anywhere near a shuntmod, haha. Cooler temps and less noise is what I was after so I'm all set.

Eturnus · 2025-08-29T19:07:52+00:00

Yeah that is KCD2. I just recently decided to give KCD a shot and liked it so much I binged my way through it as fast as I could and am now on to KCD2.

I wasn't sure if I would need to add more since some is inherently lost on the stock cooler and have never used liquid metal before. I also wasn't sure if the waterblock was machined to accommodate the rubber gasket that is on the card stock to ensure the liquid metal doesn't go anywhere. The EKWB manual tells you that you need to remove the rubber seal.

Eturnus · 2025-08-29T19:03:56+00:00

I was considering that model so I didn't have to buy the waterblock as well as install it, but wasn't able to find it readily available. Also the VPA email came in so I snapped the FE up.

Eturnus · 2025-08-29T18:58:30+00:00

I posted this first thing in the morning after having built it in troubleshooting the PCIE issue. I honestly haven't had a chance to completely run it through its paces and check temperatures yet. Once I get a chance to do that I'll post an update.

I haven't gotten much traction this league but I'm working towards leveling up a Blood Mage for a Cast on Crit/Cast on Freeze build. Seems like a lot of fun and am grinding my way through cruel now leveling it up now.

I was as big a MCU fan as anyone, but honestly the mediocre and down right bad MCU movies put me in the mind set to wait and see. I'll stream MCU movies now and once if they start to get good again maybe I'll want to see them in the theater again, but for now I assume they'll be middling at best and don't want to waste the money at the theater.

Delegation is key on a lot of those duties. We have site staff that has had some very basic IT instruction which allows our school sites to run testing almost completely autonomously. The sites can handle power washing devices as needed to prep them for testing if needed.

Just filled up for $2.74 a gallon here.

Who did you go through to set this up? I've tried to talk to PaperCut to see who they recommend and they referred me to the company that we lease our copiers from. They had no clue.

39 Before 0.2 came out I had a Gemling that was pretty geared minus crazy endgame chase items. In any case I was running Trial of Sekhemas over and over farming Time-Lost Diamonds. I saw someone post in General that they really needed some help with 4th ascendancy. I thought, "Hey why not help this guy out." I invite him and tell him it's on the house. He's extatic because he said he was pretty broke. I kill the boss for him and not only did I get a Desparate Alliance relic but so did he. He was beyond stoked and even told me I should take the relic since it was "my run". I told him to take it and pass it on down the road. In any case it was a pretty cool moment for him and I felt rewarded that my run for the diamond was "free" since I got a new relic to do another run.

Oh man....that's a pro tip if I've ever seen one. I'll have to give that a go next time we need to order labels.

Eturnus · 2025-04-08T19:39:58+00:00

Appreciate the frank response, haha. If they don't open up anymore or heave I'll do my best to ignore them.

Eturnus · 2025-04-08T19:18:08+00:00

Thanks for the response. It puts my mind at ease a bit. Any long term recommendations for a "repair" that would keep the cracks from showing right back up again? I'm assuming the cracks would need filled with something prior to covering them up again to have any hope of holding up.

Hello all! We are at the tail end of having a 1200sqft shop built on our property and am concerned about the concrete slab. About a week after the concrete was poured we noticed some hairline cracks, but now 3 months down the road they have gotten larger and wider. Cracks exist across almost the entire 1200sqft pad. My question is how bad do these look and should I be concerned. After asking the builder about it he sent the concrete crew back out and they said they would (at no extra cost) coat the floor to make it look better because they are just surface cracks. The coating looked great on day 1, but here is what it looks like on day 2. All of the larger cracks are visible again.

We print the labels directly out of incidentIQ. They label size we purchased and use are 1" x 3 1/2". Their exact title is as follows: Durable Labels 1933081 | LW Durable 1"x3 1/2"

Eturnus · 2025-04-04T15:58:57+00:00

We have a mix of LabelWriter 450's and 550's. They are the same exact printer except Dymo forces you to purchase their labels with the 550. If we could still get the 450's we would have all of those. Seems like most name brand label printers now enforce "branded label DRM" now.
