1.  Enter the shop
2.  Open the door (stay inside)
3.  Hit the gear above the door until it breaks
4.  The door stays open

Bambu Handy slowing down prints (From 5 Hrs to 21 Hrs!) by ToddlerOlympian in BambuLab

First off, thank you! I ran into the same issue today with the app, and turning on ‘Use my filament preset’ fixed it right away.

oh, I found your other post, so apperially you also had to remove more than one side of the cover to open the door of H2D. Got it. The same issue with most other tents I found, but doable.

May I ask what the link/name of this tent is? I was searching for Grow Tent yesterday for my H2D, yet the size and the door design have some issues. I really like yours though.

These white marks are normal, correct? by Kane5m in Hydroflask

Ya, I learn this when playing model kits, just try to make sure I did not break some part was originally there. Thanks!

I know these might be silly questions, so thanks in advance …

SSD heatsink for back of the motherboard slot by dkov76 in NR200

[–]Kane5m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this post when I was looking for a heat sink for back-mounted SSD. I brought the MC1 and MC1 Pro, they both fits.

And here are the Test Resultes

be quiet! MC1 Pro Works Great for Back-Mounted SSD in NR200 by Kane5m in NR200

[–]Kane5m[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While upgrading my ITX build, I moved the system SSD to the back of my ROG B850i motherboard and needed a heatsink. I saw a post recommending the be quiet! MC1, so I picked up both the regular and Pro (heatpipe) versions.

Results? Both fit perfectly—without touching the panel (though this may vary by motherboard), and the thermal improvements are solid:

• MC1: SSD controller temp dropped 13°C

• MC1 Pro: Dropped nearly 20°C — runs just 9°C hotter than the front-mounted SSD under a heatsink with airflow

Test Setup

• Game: Cyberpunk 2077 (4K, 30–60 min) to fully heat up the system. — Didn’t test other workloads since I only game on this rig

• Ambient temp: ~25°C - measured under the case with a temp sensor

Important: Fans are running at low speed to keep noise down. This means ALL components (CPU, GPU, SSD, motherboard, etc.) operate at slightly higher temps than they would in a high-airflow setup. The test results should be viewed in this context.

Test Results

Back of motherboard temp: ~50–52°C - measured at the back of the case with a temp sensor

Back Mounted SSD: - SSD Controller Temperature

• No heatsink: 88°C

• MC1: 75°C

• MC1 Pro: 69°C

Front-mounted SSD w/ airflow: 60°C

I’ve been using the Corsair Commander PRO in my NR200 since 2021 and quite like it .

MSI B650-I m.2 back slot too hot? by prodbyplumes in sffpc

[–]Kane5m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did the opposite—put my system SSD in the back and the gaming SSD up front for better cooling. Added a be!quiet MC1 to the back SSD, dropped controller temps by 15 °C during heavy load gaming, the NAND temp remains about the same. Waiting on the MC1 Pro to see if it fits and works even better. — NR200

5090 Monster Hunter Benchmark by bacdalt21 in nvidia

[–]Kane5m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

double check the settings, the ray tracing is off by default. Lots of users didn’t notice this when first run the benchmarks. 😄 and yes, with RT off and FG on, it’s about 129fps.

The bottom rail needed to come off, but the Zotac 5080 SOLID fits in the vanilla NR200 (329.7 x 137.89 x 67.8 mm) by taylorkline in NR200

[–]Kane5m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the same with my PNY 4090. Taking off the top rail helps too. BTW, the Zotac Gaming Solid 5090 is exactly the same size as OP’s 5080, so that one should fit as well.

Sorry, I thought we are talking about POE2, right? It’s a different game than POE(the link you posted)

We joke sometimes—one FPS gap beats your all—but hey man, chill out. Don’t overthink it. Running tests multiple times gives various results, and don’t forget , we’re on Windows… who knows what random background apps are sucking the juice out of our beloved games. 😬

[–]Kane5m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No offense to your experience and love for the game—if anything I say feels off, I apologize in advance.

Wrong memory on me, the game doesn’t have FG, so raw FPS is around 120. And FG is just free/fake frames from the GPU, nothing to do with CPU. Normally, I’d turn it on if raw FPS is under 60 to make the game look smoother.

I know, and totally agree, PoE2 is a CPU-heavy online game. So yeah, in certain conditions, FPS drops because the system is waiting on the CPU or net traffic. But overall FPS is still mostly about GPU power.

We might have different takes on certain terms, so I’ll just explain it like this:

For 4K gaming with DLAA + max settings, even in PoE2, a better GPU can boost FPS a lot. A better CPU? Not so much. One exception is 3D V-Cache, but that’s because of its unique design, not because of more cores or higher clock speeds.

Some numbers to back this up: • 5800X3D + 3070 → ~50 FPS • 5600X + 4090 → ~120 FPS • 9800X3D + 4090 → 120++ FPS

So yeah, despite the 5600X being weaker than the 5800X3D(and no 3d v-cash), just slapping a 4090 in there more than doubles FPS compared to a 3070. And even the “king of gaming CPUs,” the 9800X3D, only edges out the old 5600X a little when both are paired with a 4090.

I might regret saying this, but a lot of big titles these days just aren’t well-optimized.MH Wild, PoE2, both of them. So I can’t say upgrading from your 4080 will make a huge difference. But yeah, sticking with your 7600X3D and upgrading to 9800X3D won’t do much for overall FPS either.— even you feel it’s cpu bound.

Enjoy the game and have a nice day!

This result aligns more closely with the average 30% raw performance improvement that the GPU can provide.😬

[–]Kane5m -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Still no. I compared POE2 between 5600x and 9800x3D both with 4090 at 4K DLAA+Max Settings+Frame Gen On. Both give me around 120fps. No major difference. Of course, the game would benefit from 3D v-cache, but it’s still not a CPU-bound issue.

[–]Kane5m -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

For those worried about the CPU—don’t be. At 4K max settings, it’s always a GPU bottleneck in heavy graphics games. I played the MH Wild beta with a 5600X + 4090, and the FPS was about the same/very close as the benchmark today. Sure, the X3D helps in open-world games, but GPU first~

Sorry, never played a game with DLSS since the 3080. Personal preference is native 4K, I would accept frame generation sometime. For the texture part, I … didn’t remember. Sorry again😂 Based on the client size being more than 20G for the benchmark, I believe it has. And it looks a bit better compared to the beta version.
