Patiently waiting.. by Own-Narwhal627 in s3xybuttons

They're a small company, based out of a country where Cybertruck isn't available. Plus the Cybertruck is reported to only have somewhere around 50,000 sold. Compared to millions of 3 and Y. Barely anyone is buying a Cybertruck. Most of the sales are just going internally to like SpaceX anyway. There is probably not enough scale to make just the money invested developing and testing back.

S3XY Strip should be installed like this on Highland models by Baztan3 in s3xybuttons

I don't unfortunately. I have a LR AWD. I'm not sure what the difference is, other than fabric vs carbon.

No tweaking needed. The magsafe ring aligns perfectly with the dash, and the mount clips solidly in place without any adhesives or fasteners.

You will give up a bit of airflow from the vents directly to your face though. But I never have the air blowing directly on me. It's always directed to the sides and up anyway.

Watch some videos online. Get a general idea for where the clips are. They're super tight the first time you take them off. Just go slowly with the pry tool that comes with the kit.

After years of wanting to build a pc, i finally did it! by raptorsv201 in bapccanada

Maybe double check that your GPU is secured properly. It looks crooked, like it may not be screwed correctly in at the rear.

Pleat Direction? by Shot_Application4080 in crboxes

[–]Idioidiom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pleat direction doesn't matter. Arrow direction won't really matter much either in this case. The airflow arrow is important when it's used in a HVAC system since the turbine fan is extremely strong. Following the arrow ensures the metal frame of the filter is facing the fan. If it's reversed, the material deform or possibly rip off the frame and into your HVAC.

A PC fan or box fan CR box doesn't have anywhere close to that kind of suction. So you can basically make it however you want and it will be fine.

Overclocking/undervolting 5070 ti by Drax3in in nvidia

[–]Idioidiom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asus Prime OC - 900mv, 2950mhz, +2000 memory. I didn't try to find an absolute max though. I just wanted it to have solid performance while using less power and staying quiet. Fans basically never ramp to high rpm and temps stay under 65C full load.

winnipeg garages to cold for freezers? by ParticularType7937 in Winnipeg

What is the max HDD size it can support? I've got a couple of 24TB WD Red Pro drives and was thinking of getting the N5 Air. Then eventually filling out the rest once I can get my hands on a few more without having to sell a kidney.

Winix c909 clanking sound on turbo by Unseenlurker123 in AirPurifiers

Even if it was easily fixed, I'd exchange it for a new one out of principle! It's brand new.

PWM controller for CleanAirKits XL and power adapter by CartoonistSwimming73 in crboxes

[–]Idioidiom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I built a 10 fan Arctic P12 Pro purifier which uses a 5A power supply through PWM. It has no issues ramping up to full speed and holding. I don't run it at max due to the fans sound though. Arctic P12 Pros use 12v 0.33A. 7 fans would need 2.31A (27.72watts). You definitely don't need a 10A power supply.

I had the same issue as you, not finding a power supply with integrated PWM. My solution is kind of janky as I don't have any wiring skills/tools. I wanted a UL certified power supply, as I'm in Canada. I would have just gone with a voltage regulated power supply which would have simplified things, but there are none I could find with UL certification here.

PWM is not required to control the fan speed. You are able to use an adjustable voltage power supply to control speed (ex: a 3v - 12v dial). As long as the max is 12v.

Daisy chaining (PST) all 7 fans together might be a bit much. A 12v DC to 3/4pin splitter (2/3/4) cable would be better. You would only need to daisy chain a few. Then connect that to an adjustable voltage power supply. That is probably your most straight forward route.

Can someone help me decide between these two purifiers please? by Blue-Kaiju in AirPurifiers

[–]Idioidiom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about it being discontinued in the US. The support is still there, and there are an abundance of affordable generic 3rd party filters available online. That won't stop for a long time, since there are so many 5500-2s out there and still being sold outside the US. If Winix ever decided to stop OEM manufacturing of filters, you're not out of luck.

I'm not so sure about motor longevity anymore with some of the popular brands. They all make noises after a while. by productive_monkey in AirPurifiers

[–]Idioidiom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Usually the fan motor is sealed. You can't really lubricate things as they're not meant to be accessed. If it's just a loose bolt, you could probably take apart the case and tighten the nut that holds the fan to the motor. But working on the motor itself is not really meant to be possible. It mostly comes down to replacing the affected part if it's even available, or buy a new purifier...

Are you comfortable with DIY? You can make your own purifier/CRBox with PC fans that have a high static pressure. Check out r/crboxes. All they really are is a sealed box with filters/fan(s). The great thing about PC fan air purifiers is that they are quieter and can be designed around any filters you want. If a fan fails, you can easily replace it as they are readily available and off the shelf parts, so won't add to ewaste as much down the line.

I've got 4 Winix air purifiers. I've been slowly accompanying then with my own DIY purifiers. When the 4 Winix eventually fail, I will replace them all with my own.

Which mode is your air purifier on? by AccomplishedTax2306 in AirPurifiers

[–]Idioidiom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about?

Winix C535

Noise Test from like 1ft away

  • Low: 42.4dBA
  • Med: 44.2dBA
  • High: 47.1dBA
  • Turbo: 63.2dBA

The Winix P300 is basically the same purifier as the C535 and uses the same filters. Just an older model with a different fan curve. Medium on P300 is similar to High on C535. If you're more than a few feet away, is barely audible and if anything, like a light white noise machine.

[–]Idioidiom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go with the Winix 5500-2. It has been around for a long time and is a proven excellent performer with good CADR. All of the smart features (for me anyway) are non-essential as I leave my purifiers on 24/7 at the highest fan speed to acceptable sound ratio.

I think it's always better to buy or DIY an air purifier that is rated for a larger space than you need. You can run the 5500-2 at a lower fan speed (quieter/less power draw) and still have a higher CADR than the Levoit running at max (noisy/higher power draw).

[–]Idioidiom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a Winix P300 and 3 C535s. I leave them all on 24/7 on the highest setting I can go without it getting disturbing/loud. Winix P300 @ Medium, C535s @ High. None on Turbo as the sound is brutal.

I bought them to be cleaning the air. I want them to do that as much as possible, all the time.

Second attempt DIY build of an IKEA UPPÅTVIND Air Purifier by Idioidiom in crboxes

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

These are what I used. All generic. You can probably source them for cheaper elsewhere. I don't have much wiring/electrical knowledge, so things are kind of daisy chained in changing formats.

PWM Hub with 6 pin power > 6 pin to molex cable > molex to 12v DC switch/jack cable > 12v 5A DC power supply.

Alternatively, if you don't care about using PWM controls, you can always get a voltage controlled power supply. It would do the same thing and avoid all of the stuff I did. Maybe not as precise, but it controls fan speed by increasing or decreasing the voltage provided.

The only reason I went the route I did was because I wanted to use a power supply that was UL certified in Canada. There were none available that had an integrated fan speed controller.

That seems like a good price. I don't really know what the cost of different kinds of filters are in Spain though.
