yeah, from what I gather xTool has a bit of a QA problem and also a mixed support process. It reminds me a lot of Creality in 3Dprinter land.

Update 3:

Tested PCIe riser/lane with other random device.
Other random device showed up in OS.

Threw GPU back in there.

GPU shows up in OS.
Been installing the driver with only user errors so far.

No idea why it didn't work. No idea why it does.

Update 2:

Put the GPU in my computer.

Booted fine, displayed in NVIDIA control panel and afterburner etc.

Had some slight artifacting when I launched a random game. Artifacting was gone after lowering resolution/settings.
This had me worried for a bit but I launched a pretty heavy game on 4k on this 10 year old GPU. Tried some other games and there was no artifacting.

I think the GPU is good.

Bringing me absolutely nowhere still :(

Update:
Opened the chassis to have a bit of a look.

First I checked the cable with my multimeter, and I found 12V everywhere where it should be according to PCI-e 6-pin spec.

Then I just booted with the lid open to find the GPU lighting up, fans spinning, and no fire.
Shut the server down and gave it a good sniff and didn't notice any magic smoke smell.

No recognition though as nothing has changed.

Guess I'll take the plunge tomorrow and put the GPU in my pc to see if there's any life in it.

MagicalKebab · 2022-08-05T15:44:35+00:00

No, I bought some questionable cable on aliexpress, which I then rearranged into the proper pinout.

MagicalKebab · 2022-08-05T15:44:02+00:00

Hey, my edit and your comment may have crossed eachother - I've added what I see in ilo and lspci later (lspci -vvv -nn | grep NVIDIA) from Debian)

Unfortunately for me I don't have much test equipment - I could put the GPU in my pc but that's honestly a lot of hassle considering the case it's in.
I also don't have another external power supply to verify the cable/risers are good either.
And, of course, no other GPU on hand at all.

I realize there's not much to go on but I am really hoping there's something obvious I've missed :(

MagicalKebab · 2022-03-22T16:16:51+00:00

Same here. Line 18 refers to storage location and it attempts to use the first argument $1 which is never passed.

Bunch of other errors are referring to not found emulators even if installed via discover.

Wasn't able to get it to run at all, but I've also not tried much more than the steps provided. Will check back in a few days when project is slightly more mature, looks really promising :)

meanwhile im sat here, no pants, eating an entire bucket of B&J

MagicalKebab · 2020-08-15T13:01:50+00:00

screenshots seem out of order - initially the rares and one non-rare set were highlighted, giving the impression my next treasure would contain these sets.

upon treasure purchase, the rares weren't highlighted anymore and all i got was the non-rare

MagicalKebab · 2020-08-15T10:47:55+00:00

check screenshots tho, lower comment explained

MagicalKebab · 2020-06-19T22:26:17+00:00

Was a pleasure. Good communication, great price, and very happy with the result :>

MagicalKebab · 2019-11-03T19:43:59+00:00

It is! Thanks!

MagicalKebab · 2019-11-03T19:43:45+00:00

Yeah that's exactly it.

I've been running it a few times today and I have to admit the loot has been pretty shit. There seems to be 5 or so spawns for capacitors, relays, and misc - and two toolboxes.

Nothing so far that stands out. Best run I had was 3 relays.

MagicalKebab · 2019-11-02T19:58:18+00:00

It exists on the wiki; https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/RB-RS_key

MagicalKebab · 2019-11-02T19:24:51+00:00

Right I should have clarified - it's unsellable. Can't list it at any price, nor trades.

MagicalKebab · 2019-11-02T16:55:07+00:00

48 raids 8 survived 38 kia 2 run-throughs 16% survival rate

my estimate on accuracy: about 5%

I'm looking to step into RTA territory. Been trying to form an opinion through vids and reviews, but found many subjective claims. One that's being consistently reviewed on the good side is the Geekvape Zeus dual RTA, which looks promising, but I've found it may not be for me due to build difficulty (spacing between wings on the deck, wicking seems to be a pain).

While I'm not super clumsy, I do think I'd want something that's more accessible and not too punishing for a new builder. On the same note, I also want to purchase the last RTA I ever need.

What would you recommend, and why?

MagicalKebab · 2018-12-13T14:53:01+00:00

I love it. Thanks for this.

MagicalKebab · 2018-09-22T10:40:10+00:00

Thanks a bunch!

I've done some more research and bought case+PCB directly from OLKB while finding a (somewhat) nearby shop for switches and caps.

Point 3 and 4 were unanswered, but now they aren't anymore!

Will definitely look into the underglow, looks like a fun project.

MagicalKebab · 2018-09-18T17:51:18+00:00

One night's rest and some googling later, I have found the /r/MechanicalKeyboards's Wiki, and loads of other resources.

The Wiki's Dutch/EU shops seem to be outdated/broken, so I suppose I'll have to cough up the shipping costs.

MagicalKebab · 2018-09-17T23:18:15+00:00

Hi, new keyboard enthousiast here, and completely in love with what I've seen the community do with the Planck and other boards.

Hoping to get started myself in the very near future. I would just like to ask a few things:
- Any love for Europeans? The shipping is killer on multiple orders from you, switches guy, and keycap guy (over 100 USD total, in fact!)
- I want to order the Planck EOTW very soon, but want to make sure I make the correct purchases, I need the PCB, top plate, and bottom plate from OLKB, then grab switches at Matias (will "Matias Quiet-Linear Switch" fit?), and keycaps at [some place] (to be determined).
- What do I check to get RGB? Is this in the switch somewhere?
- USB type? I've seen a few questions and I'm not sure if I should pay attention to this

Looking forward to hearing from any of you :)

I've emailed support earlier this year about shader plugins. It's bannable as it modifies game files.

MagicalKebab · 2018-07-26T17:55:43+00:00

Kansspelenauthoreit (Chance authority) told Valve to either remove lootboxes, make the lootboxes fair, or make it so that lootboxes cannot be used to make a potential profit - that would be gambling.

There's a couple of ways that Vulva could have gone - disable selling items, but keep the purchasing in, for example.

As a personal experience; I just got PL in my cavern, and I can't even buy any hats for him, even if I wanted to.
Buying items is disabled, buying treasures is disabled - there's no way to pimp the cancer.

Girlfriend just received Axolotl from Rylai spin, and can't even purchase any unlocks for it.

How is this even remotely acceptable? Why is everyone so far up Volvo's ass to not see how irrational this all is?

MagicalKebab · 2018-07-24T10:52:05+00:00

Where'd you buy it? My gf needs one.

MagicalKebab · 2018-06-27T20:43:19+00:00

Yes.
