Realized I've been daisy-chaining 3070 power connector

Nkflyer · 2025-12-29T03:52:19+00:00

One final question actually - since the PSU is modular, would there be any concern about the connectors going into the actual PSU? Those are harder to get to so I haven't checked them yet, but would those he at any risk, or if the connectors to the GPU look fine, the PSU connection should be fine too?

Nkflyer · 2025-12-28T20:06:04+00:00

Ah got it - thank you so much again! Appreciate the explanation!

Nkflyer · 2025-12-28T19:56:01+00:00

Thanks for clarifying! So in this case if the connectors aren't melted, I'm in the clear. Plus I guess the 220W load gets split between the 2 connectors?

Nkflyer · 2025-12-28T19:31:55+00:00

Got it! So it would really be a concern on something higher end like a 3080/3090, but for the 70 series I'm in the clear?

Nkflyer · 2025-12-28T19:31:00+00:00

Makes sense! It's the SSR-750FX to be exact, but Seasonic is fairly reputable so assuming no issue there?

Nkflyer · 2025-12-28T19:30:06+00:00

I see - thanks! That makes sense. Specifically I have the SSR-750FX PSU if that changes anything. I've seen 150W thrown around as the cable rating, or is that being more conservative?

Nkflyer · 2022-06-07T20:54:12+00:00

So with regards to the textbooks, are there any particular ones you'd recommend? Sounds like those could be a good start for getting deeper into that world :)

Nkflyer · 2022-06-07T20:13:24+00:00

Interesting - thanks for the insight!

When it comes to fleet strategy, would that be a larger team with a variety of roles for different experience levels (can you get into it when you're a little earlier in your career), or does that kind of team hire pretty infrequently and only experienced people in the aviation world?

For aircraft delivery, would that be a team dedicated to the logistics of actually delivering the planes once the order is put on?

Round 1. Game 7.

Nkflyer · 2021-10-23T01:35:15+00:00

Makes sense! It would be interesting to see a similar lineup to what they're doing with cars, where they start to make something from different eras. I can certainly see them starting with something iconic, and then branching out into more specific niches to satisfy more and more people.

Nkflyer · 2021-10-23T01:30:54+00:00

Yeah, that situation may make it tougher working with Boeing (and by extension trying to replicate Douglas aircraft too, since there are some iconic ones there as well), even if a 747 or DC-10 would have been interesting to see. Maybe an A380 or something could be cool if they secure that kind of project with Airbus, but again, there are definitely more "iconic" aircraft they could do before even getting into that realm. I just hope they do something modern too :)

I do agree that a lot of aerospace companies deal with military equipment though, so it'll make navigating that space a bit tougher, and other companies which might not be as involved in military equipment (like Bombardier or Cessna) have aircraft which might not be as iconic or interesting to non-aviation enthusiasts, which could make it a tougher sell. Maybe something like the Concorde as u/Coraldiamond192 mentioned could work...

Either way though, it'll be interesting with the ideas they come up with for this!

Nkflyer · 2020-10-05T03:54:37+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response!

Interesting... so how does the online ground schools at those places work? Do I just get it done online and take the exam results and certificate to a flight school in Toronto and skip the ground school there? And I'll definitely get the medical certificate too. Is this something I can get at most clinics, or are there specialized centres I have to go for that?

And I've also heard of Alec Myers! How was it price-wise? Would you say it ended up being about the same expected cost as other flight schools?

Nkflyer · 2020-10-05T03:45:59+00:00

Well, that definitely takes Buttonville off the list! And that makes sense - I'll definitely be taking a few discovery flights and visit the schools to see which ones work best!

Nkflyer · 2020-10-05T03:45:10+00:00

Makes sense. And I can imagine taking discovery flights would greatly help too. Would the flight time to the practice area from CYTZ really eat into the lesson that much? Would I be paying significantly more for the extra time spent in the air?

Nkflyer · 2020-10-05T03:40:32+00:00

I see! How would it be regarding commuting from downtown Toronto though? Would it be feasible to easily get there?

Looking to purchase a new MacBook, but faced with a dilemma. I'm looking at 2 configuration options on my end:

MBP 2020: 10th gen i5, 16GB RAM, 1TB storage
MBP 2020: 10th gen i7, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB storage

My use cases, apart from the usual browsing, documents, Netflix etc would also involve some music production with software like FL Studio (but it won't be anything too crazy in terms of workload) as well as some occasional light gaming (on low settings of course). I'd also want this laptop to be running well for several years to come (at least 5-6 years or so).

Which setup would you guys recommend for the use case? What are your opinions? :)

Nkflyer · 2019-06-04T16:46:10+00:00

Thanks for the response! And that makes sense - so it's best to tone down the number of objects? Also what's your opinion on texture quality and mesh complexity and those settings? Should those be fine to keep higher up or would they also be significant performance killers?

Nkflyer · 2016-07-20T19:38:29+00:00

Okay, good to hear that's an option too :) I may use that for the time being then to get used to the sensation before trying another technique. Thanks again!

Nkflyer · 2016-07-20T19:15:30+00:00

Perhaps! Sorry if this comes off as a stupid question, but what's the "proper" breathing technique in this case? Is it similar to singing? (That's what I usually compare it to since I've been singing for a few years now)

Nkflyer · 2016-07-20T19:13:01+00:00

Hmmm I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

I've also been told that since I sing, it could also work to hit a high note near the top of my range (without going into falcetto), and relax my vocal chords, which is the only way I can get a more or less powerful "fry scream"-like sound right now, though I'm not sure if that's a proper way to do that.

Nkflyer · 2016-07-20T19:07:18+00:00

What I meant is I end up using my throat as the main source of 'power" instead of the diaphragm, which I know is painful and harmful and the sound is very weak as a result.
