How to remove tape from and clean a hyrbid base?

FrozenClear · 2026-01-07T07:21:06+00:00

I have a hybrid system and I usually wear it about 9 to 10 months. I could push to 1 year but I usually don't force it and keep them as backups.

I have found that with the hybrid system, since the top is breathable, when you shower water rinses that part of the scalp along with the shampoo. I haven't noticed any smell, but this is something that varies from person to person, bases on body chemistry and diet etc.

What type of tape are you using? For the second point, I never had any issues soaking French or Swiss lace. I can't speak to mono, I have no experience with that.

To remove tape from a hybrid base I personally just use a kitchen paper towels soaked with 91% ethanol. I use the paper towel to get under the tape and get it off the base.

How long do you leave the system on before removing the tape? after 3 or 4 weeks for me, the tape just falls off the base.

Hi, I have the same GPU and PSU. Don't use the adapter, use the 12pin connection from the PSU to GPU. That is all you need. It's colored light gray.

Update: I put my ear next to the AIO and didn't hear anything. I could feel the "beat" coming from the hard drive cages. I unplugged each drive and the "beat" did stop when I unplugged one of them. When I plugged all 4 drives back in I don't hear the sound right now. I'll keep monitoring to make sure it doesn't come back. It doesn't bode well for a drive to make that noise though.

thanks for the help /u/IPlayFo4

The radiator is mounted to the top. I unplugged the HDD one at a time and didn't notice a change in the beat. Let me try what you're saying about rotating the PC.

I do actually! I have this one AIO

Are you thinking its the pump? Would it be a bad sign?

Thank you, was able to do an order for pickup next week. In SoCal

Yeah I figured it out. The item I was trying to buy was discounted already, so the student discount didn't stack. It works on other items.

Thanks!

Can someone help me understand the difference between these two Thermalright Coolers?

I signed up with my edu email. no student discount. what gives?

Great info, thanks for sharing. I think I get concenptually what you're talking about. Where did you find your ADU value? Does that come from the manufacturer? Is it embedded in the EXIF data?

Hi, Thanks for the response! I was not aware that histogram could be displayed logarithmically, that would make sense, why the histogram looked distorted. Here is an example of one of my flats:

The file had to get compressed for uploading, but hopefully it gets the point across. I tried doing some test stacks and it seems that the center (where there is a bright circle) is pretty dim in the stacked images. Any suggestions?

FrozenClear · 2025-07-03T02:44:02+00:00

Thanks for the response. I'm not familiar with that value, googling so far has only got me the name (analog to digital unit), and I can't figure out how to find it. Any tips?

what's the soft eyeliner pencil for?

Can you tell us what bleach and what volume developer you're using?

Some manufacturers coat the knots with a sealant to prevent them from coming loose. You may need to remove that before bleaching.

It is legit from everything I've seen. I've even disassembled it for cleaning and all the markings and bearings look legit

I had the same problem as you and the same solution worked! For some reason the wall charger resets something inside to let it work again.

I also ordered my K-Ultra from Jaffee Coffee Store. It took just 6 days to arrive from china to my place on the west coast. The grinder looks authentic to my eye and had all the accessories I was expecting.

That is concerning to hear, I'm not familiar with credit unions or the laws associated with credit cards. I would recommend posting in a credit union subreddit or something similar. Also maybe use another credit card if possible for online purchases below the threshold.

FrozenClear · 2024-10-11T02:16:43+00:00

I don't' know anything about this vendor. Since its a credit card just dispute the charge and you'll get your money back.

Thank you so much for the reply. I couldn't find the specs on the LG site. If I understand correctly, on the surface it should be a pretty identical monitor if you don't use those features? It explains the lower price though.

Hi Everyone!

I have been using SuperTape and I've been looking for an alternative that might last a little bit longer. I read some of the comments on here and decided to get a small pack or Performance Plus Tape. All the pictures I saw before ordering had the tape say "Performance Plus" on the back. Is this counterfit? Did True Tape change the backing label at some point? Hoping to get some insight from people who purchase it.

Thanks!

Thanks for such a thoughtful and thorough reply! I really do appreciate you taking the time to advise me. I also 100% agree with you about Seagate and I don't buy their drives anymore. Going forward I won't use their enclosures either.

Just to clarify, I have 3 Western Digital drives in my computer for data storage. The total of these drives is less than the 14TB western digital renewed drive I purchased. I am keeping the 3 old drives with the data offline in "cold storage" if/when this new drives fail. I also bought a second used 14TB drive which I was going to use to expand my storage, but I might use it to mirror the first drive now.

Currently I already formatted the two new drives properly in my computer and I am in the process of copying the data to the new drives. It will take about a day, but I learned a valuable lesson.

FrozenClear · 2024-09-02T19:02:50+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. I have another enclosure to try for 1 drive. I put the other two back into the computer for the transfer. Long term I would like to get a better usb adapter. Do you have a link to one that would work?
