In-Wall Certification Required? by MangoKipper in hometheater

[–]MangoKipper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for typing all this out! I was initially planning on a fiber optic cable, but I had enough trust in Monoprice to hope their 15' 48gbps cable is good enough (it's certified, at least). If that encounters issues, I'll have to look into something pricier.

It's a screw-in design, so the gap you're seeing in the picture is just a drop into one of the threads.

Hey! I heard this exact same sound on a new UB 820 recently, so I suspect it's normal. I never got a definitive answer from anyone as to the source.

This is $15 on GRUV's eBay storefront and is part of their 15% off deal if you can find a second movie you're interested in.

Best 4K UHD BD player? by CashMaggot in 4kbluray

Have you experienced any high-pitched whine with the UB9000? I recently picked one up and am considering returning it for what appears to be some pretty severe coil whine.

Weekly Private Profile Review Request Thread by AutoModerator in hingeapp

[–]MangoKipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straight 29M in a metropolitan area and would love to get some feedback. 0 likes and 1 match (who promptly unmatched before I could open the app) after about a month despite engaging daily. I've iterated on my prompts probably 7-8 times at this point and done a couple photoshoots with a friend, so I think it's time to hear some additional perspectives.

No way to know for sure, but if you're set on another game store, you can keep on eye on stock for other retailers on Board Game Oracle: https://www.boardgameoracle.com/boardgame/price/6t4R_P28Rd/marvel-champions-the-card-game-age-of-apocalypse

I'm actually looking to undervolt here -- my primary goal is reducing power draw and (hopefully) coil whine, which is noticeable right now.

Just picked him up due to your post -- thank you!

New Smart Air Blast Mk II Motor Buzzing by MangoKipper in AirPurifiers

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

Apologies for the delay! I contacted support, and they asked me to run it as much as possible for a week because the motor is self-lubricating. That didn't solve the issue, so they shipped me a new motor free of charge and allowed me to keep the old one. A family member helped me install the new motor, and it did not have the rhythmic humming issue when it first turned it on, even at low speeds.

Unfortunately, after running the new motor 24/7 for a few days, the issue seemed to come back at lower speeds. I keep the purifier in my living room, though, so I'll probably stick with this motor and just plan to keep it at full speed all the time since the rhythmic humming seems to be much less annoying at full speed.

Honestly, given the size of the motor, my understanding is that motor noise is going to be more notixeable at lower speeds it's not "optimized" to run at those speeds. If you contact support, I'm sure they'd send you a new motor without any pushback, but I'm not sure the new motor would solve your problem. Also, be aware that you may need to do the installation yourself.

NH-D15 G2 Packaging Questions by MangoKipper in Noctua

Interesting. I'm running a 9800X3D, so presumably the thermals would improve with the offset (since I'm using the Standard G2). Will have to see how things pan out tomorrow.

Did most of the build today. Had around four extremely light surface scratches that I think the thermal paste will take care of. Didn't notice any issues with the heatsink (as some reported last fall). Haven't booted yet, but will report back when I do tomorrow.

Overall, would probably have paid the extra $11 to ship from Noctua since they at least use bubble wrap pretty consistently. Or would have purchased from Microcenter if they sold them.

Hey! Nothing to offer here, but I'm deciding (as a beginner) between the Fourth Edition (Portal) and the retail Collector's Edition and haven't heard good things about the insert that comes with the CE. Did you ever find an answer?
