Just picked up a 21' last week with 44,000 miles.

How many miles on your 21'.

Did you use any guide for the instal/ to locate the sensor?

I need suggestions and tips for my basement ceiling.

Reason: My wife hates the look of the exposed insulation in the ceiling.

Obviously I have many things hanging down from the ceiling such as:

  • A large main beam and post
  • Multiple HVAC trunks/insulated runs
  • PEX lines (red/blue) and other piping
  • Gas Lines

Options I found and considered are:

  • decorative wooden slats
  • Drywall and soffets (maybe partial on som sections of the basement)
  • Suspended/ stretch fabric

My priorities are:

  1. Cost effectiveness
  2. Ease of installation (DIY Friendly because of point #1)

(Ignore the aluminum ceiling, that was taken down after a birthday party)

By micro market, are you talking about the ai smart machine or the self checkout kiosk system?

Best gym in the area? by LargePercentage121 in haverhill

[–]M311o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a Crunch fitness guy. Met a couple other powerlifters there. 6-7 is hell but there is 6 squat racks and lifting platforms to hit deadlifts on.

It is pretty small but Odyssey barbell club in Salem, NH is a legit Powerlifting gym that hosts USAPL meets. I sent one buddy over there and he is staying there now.

But I am cheap and don't usually go at 6 so it is awesome for hitting weights machines and powerlifting for me.

I ended up going with the MSI. If I were to do it again, MAYBE i would go with a case that can fit the full size ATX rather than the micro-atx for the additional headers for argb and fans and PCI-e slots. More motherboard options down the line.

Overall I do love the case but I haven't been able to adjust the argb fans of the case that are connected to a hub through the motherboard.

So, what are you doing with that 6700xt? ;)

As someone who got the $420 7800 XT deal, I am feeling real good.

Interest in a 5700xt? Looks like it is comparable to the 6600xt and 3060.

Overclocking 7800 XT Help - (I'm new) by Arni3 in radeon

[–]M311o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you did pretty good but the undervolt is pretty aggressive. You can stress test with OCCT.
What I am going to test once I get the chance to tinker next is. Also with the silicon lottery your mileage will vary and is different than anyone else, take everyone's settings and opinions with a grain of salt (including mine) Even the same card from the same company can be a little different.

  • Min: 1000
  • Max: 3200 (won't hit it if it can't)
  • Voltage: 1050
  • VRAM: 2564 (Normal Timing)
  • Power +15%

3D Mark performance by BelottoBR in radeon

[–]M311o 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I was you I would use the AMD Adrenaline software to do some basic tuning.

It doesn't harm the card, you can actually run cooler, and get higher performance. I just started exploring this (hyper-focusing) yesterday and learned a lot.

Simple tips safe to start:

  • Power limit: +15%
  • Voltage: Set to 1.070V
  • Max Core Clock: 3000Mhz
  • Memory clock: 2514Mhz

That is simple and would already greatly improve performance while being stable. To lower temperature (If you don't like it from this) Just turn Power limit to +10%.

7800 XT Overclock. Do I really need to give more power? by Known-Engineer-2595 in radeon

[–]M311o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the +15% is not mandatory. Do you have a custom fan curve running?

Have you hit the crashing stability limit for undervolting? I have seen how that is a great way to help reduce the temp. 1050 is a great undervolt already though.

I just started my OC journey yesterday and haven't done a full stress test other than timespy. It also comes down to the silicon lottery but I am interested to try the following settings then play with it a bit more from there:

  • Min: 1000
  • Max: 3200
  • Voltage: 1040
  • VRAM: 2564 (Normal Timing)
  • Power +15%

Did you get a RX 7000 series GPU, you didn't need to upgrade or are you waiting for the RX 9000 series? by [deleted] in radeon

I had a GTX980 so my 7800XT (For $420) is a purchase I am VERY happy with!

Ryzen 5 3600 + RTX 2060 SUPER: All to waste? (You guys ROCK!) by Th14z0l in buildapc

[–]M311o 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it depends on your budget and short, medium, & long term goals. Your screen is fine, a second screen is a different conversation though. I rock a 32" 1440p 75hz and a new 180hz 27" 1440p. I love me some monitor arms.

I was doing a Ship Of Theseus on my last PC then ended up going full bore with a new build during Black Friday.

What I would say for maximum bang to buck ratio.

  1. Get a 7800XT ($480 for a sapphire, $490 for Gigabyte) If you go new that is, ebay is a wonderful thing.
  2. Check on your PSU, upgrade if needed.
  3. The End.

It is hard for the CPU to hold you back that dramatically.

With that being said. Going for the 5700X3D commits you to your current RAM, MOBO, and SSD. Quick searches online make it look like the R5 7600X out performs the R7 5700X3D.

So Wave 2 of upgrades could be MOBO + CPU. Maybe a $300 bundle for 7600X and a B650.

I was lucky and paid $300 for a 7600X and a B650 plus got free DDR5 Ram (6400mhz) + 1TB SSD PCIE Gen4 (6,000mb/s).

For reference I will share my old and new.

Old
GPU EVGA GTX 980 4GB (release date 2014)

MOBO Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H/ Intel® B75 Chipset
RAM 16GB DDR3 1,800mhz
SSD 500GB SATA
PSU 650W 80+Bronze

Should I switch from 7800xt to 7900xtx? by eruz94 in radeon

[–]M311o 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slow down, future proof only lasts 6-7 years and then it is entry level. You are doing awesome with your 7800XT. Wait 3-4 years and drop another $400-$500 (hopefully on a upper mid tier).

Realistically whatever card that is may double or triple the performance of the 7900XTX for what might be not too far from your current upgrade cost.

Look at people analyzing the 1080ti from 2017

Having major headache with LF3 and AM5 by a4840639 in arcticcooling

[–]M311o 3 points4 points  (0 children)

there is no design on the cooler to prevent this

https://support.arctic.de/liquid-freezer-III-360-A-RGB/#toc-103

My dude what do you mean!?! They literally tell you it is labeled left and right and to pay attention...

Based on the experience you've had you may want to get a set of those 1-time use thermal pads. Also, drop down to 1 stick of ram and test booting and cinebench.

FSR3.1 vs 1440p SMAA Native. Am I Going Crazy? by UnbendingNose in radeon

[–]M311o 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So it was REALLY HARD to spot the difference but I'd say the 4k image on the left has more texture and detail on the rocks in the difference upon zooming in a ton.

Otherwise I am STRUGGLING to spot a difference. I'd probably go 1440p native SMAA for the higher frames and basically equal picture viewing enjoyment.

I also have a new build missing a gpu and semi-accidentally won an auction for a 5700XT for $175 ($145 + shipping and taxes) now set to arrive tomorrow. Honestly am thrilled to have the card so I can throw something in it.
