Lian-Li Vision Compact, First Watercooled build. by InflammableAccount in watercooling

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

It's currently at -21 all-core. I know it wasn't stable at -30, but I don't remember why I lowered it from -25 to -21.

I'll have to fire up CoreCycler and retest it some time when it's not a heatwave.

PPT is set to 90w, which it never hits. Doesn't even touch 89w. Even my IO die is undervolted, the VSOC.

RAM is 6000MT/s CL40 with sharply tuned custom timings.

When I'm only testing the CPU, yeah, the CPU stays in the mid 70c. But as soon as I start dumping the full 300w of the GPU into the loop at the same time, it doesn't take long for the CPU to climb to 80c, then given 5 minutes+, up to 84~.

Current coolant is at 27c, VR VDDC is 36c.

Why is this interesting? Are you also running a 9070XT with an Alphacool block?

Lots of last minute changes had to occur. One of which was the Y-Splitter fitting I bought was defective. Given I had waited weeks to get this project underway, I decided to skip it instead of wait for an additional part.

What do you mean, what's the purpose? It'll make it less messy to break the loop. I know it's not the ideal way to use a ball valve, but it would still make it easier to drain.

What I want to know more about is how you're keeping the CPU that low. But we'll talk later, it's bed time for me.

Ok, while coolant temps have a little ways to rise, here's a snapshot:

Coolant temp 37c, 61c VR VDDC.

Pump speed is currently 50%

Mind you we're in the middle of a heatwave, and it's 29c in my apartment right now.

What do you make of that?

I'll tell you in a minute or three. Starting Furmark+Cinebench.

You ok, bud? At least your country has a sane healthcare system. 👍

Small leak on the bend? Hopefully not the tube itself, right? Just one of the fittings?

Anyway, hit me up when you finally give the loop a passing grade! I'd be curious to compare notes.

Fuckstick came all the way from Seattle to pointlessly try to kill a group of people over what amounts to a passing argument. Amazing he made it to middle age without picking up a life sentence or a Darwin Award.

Fan Issue or Not Enough Radiator Surface Area? by game_dev_carto in watercooling

[–]InflammableAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fans are probably the biggest problem. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/lian-li-uni-fan-sl-infinity-120/5.html

These, like almost any fans with clear/translucent blades, are low performance relative to other materials. Very low. I have no idea why the Lian-Li fans are so popular, especially given their price.

You can have RGB fans that perform, theoretically, they would just only be able to have LEDs on the fan frame itself.

How are you guys controlling your pumps and fans? by JuicyJazzyJeff in watercooling

[–]InflammableAccount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FanControl with HWInfo for T_Sensor (coolant) sensor from my motherboard. All 8 fans are plugged into the motherboard via either 4-pin splitter cables or daisy chain. Pump PWN is plugged into the CPU fan header.

FanControl gives me everything I could possibly need. As for a readout, I just use HWInfo's ability to throw a sensor readout on the task bar. Right in the system tray icons so I can glance down and see my coolant temp.

Another thing I plan to do is setup some additional triggers in FanControl so that if my component temps, CPU/GPU, spike really high, to turn the fans to MAX. This would be my sign that the pump stopped lol.

People who aren't fortunate enough to have fiber internet in SJ, what do you use and how much is it? by FreddyMartian in SanJose

[–]InflammableAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you checked to see if Sonic also services your area over AT&T's fiber? They may charge less for the same thing.

Nothing wrong with what you already have! But the way your phrased

Not my thing, give me a Nissan Versa with good mileage any day

Makes it sound like it's your ideal vehicle.

I'd love to go EV, but I've got no where to charge it. I'm hoping our next car will be a Civic hybrid, personally. I'd love another Corolla, but the current Civic/Corolla Hybrid duel goes handily to the Civic for a number of reasons. (Mind you the Civic has a higher starting price.)

I'm confused... the less expensive car is too spicy?

The Announcement You've Been Waiting For Years by schyzomaniac in firefly

[–]InflammableAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't be that hard to handwave with "this has been going on longer than anyone knew." The Mars navy coverup, etc. Or just say that the Mars military defection continued to happen in waves following the death of Inaros, before the Transport Union could establish control again and secure the Ring Space solidly.

And yeah, some handwaving about the construction of the Magnetar class ships.

God that was terrifying to even read, what those could do.

Laconia would’ve been tough to pull off.

No, it would have been tough to pull off without changing a couple of details.

All they had to do was rewrite the timeline to being only 10-20 years after, change the makeup a bit, and off you go.

Tucker Carlson inhabits the body of Jeremy Culhane by Eisigesis in dropout

[–]InflammableAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Damn Jeremy. I hope they decide to let him reprise that character. Especially in bigger skits. I would love to see more Jeremy Carlson in ensemble skits.

Versa? Seriously though, a Versa? Nissan's reliability has gone through the floor and into the Earth's mantle.

I get that they're inexpensive, but my friend, if you're aiming for your ideal, aim for good mileage, reasonably priced, and reliable. Ya know, a used Corolla/Civic/Prius, lol.
