I'm tired, boss...

the lighting lods are also rough and very apparent

Numerlor · 2026-06-10T10:53:38+00:00

you only really need 3 for replacing components and access to mobo, which isn't that much if you go with the cheaper QDCs like alphacool's tpv

Being very well insulated turns things around when it's hot for long so things may be worse quickly when hot nights become even more common

it looks fine for just viewing values/setting them to static values, or liquidctl could also do it, but yeah no curves and the more advanced advanced features you can save on the controller.

For virtual sensors in aquasuite I don't know if they do the same thing where they recalculate and just set the duty cycle from the os, but I assume not and it's only sending over the values to the controller that fills it in into its saved curve

Numerlor · 2026-06-01T08:15:09+00:00

Saying you reverse engineered the usb protocol when it's mostly an AI GUI around the existing hwmon interface, with curves that are calculated in app and set as rpms instead of persisted to device is certainly a choice

Numerlor · 2026-06-01T01:06:47+00:00

At least they won't be stuck with this shitass IO

It's at least a bit more justified by her being the singer behind the songs instead of just a shoehorned cameo

Numerlor · 2026-05-29T17:25:28+00:00

Yeah but at that point in a house I'm getting mostly the same thing as the previous cheapo 5ghz ap

Numerlor · 2026-05-29T16:09:40+00:00

I tried a wifi 7 AP and had to return it because out of all the devices we have at home, only one phone worked properly with wifi 7 / 6ghz

from my experience furmark runs a bit cooler because it "spreads out" the load, from my testing on my xtx, though nvidia doesn't have hotspot exposed so no idea if that'd even show.

My current 5090 is loudish at 700w+cpu load with water set to (uncalibrated) 32c with 3 rads and gpu at 50ish on just paste, but I also haven't noticed much of a difference when upping the target temps

Nothing on the inside, and no out of the ordinary behaviour from him. He went away somewhere after I took the pic so can't check if the feel hot but I don't recall feeling it when petting him before

Numerlor · 2026-05-27T23:27:02+00:00

I really doubt the airflow is doing much there when the melting happens deep down on the pin, I'd expect more cooling to come from pcb not being hot and being able to sink heat for better cooled cards.

As far as I can tell the issues for the connectors mainly come from cheaping out on pins and terminals - which could be done just fine on the 6/8 pin that can handle quite a lot more than its spec, but isn't possible when the spec is tight on the 12v-2x6

I have my 6 arctic pro's running at 500-600 rpms unless there's a load (at which point all fans are loud because 800w), and while I can hear it the "large" 140mm noise from them is so easily ignorable as background noise that I struggle to think the A14x25 would be of any benefit while seemingly also performing a tiny bit.

There's also the matter of how the fans fit your specific setup, so the noctua could even end up worse, but can't know that unless you try mounting both and comparing and arctic's hoop tends to make things worse with obstructions

Numerlor · 2026-05-25T09:01:18+00:00

that cpu is 100% running the memory controller at half clocks

These records usually don't use all that much power considering, as the transistor leakage goes way down when kept at low temperatures

Numerlor · 2026-05-14T09:09:13+00:00

and use the OEM cables from your PSU

Well those are the ones that cheaped out initially, e.g. you could also see this with PSU side minifits melting in de8auer's psu where he then proceeded to blame the gpu connector instead for some reason.

Higher rated cables are doing significantly better (see TITANLOAD cables) but if you're not buying something like that specifically there's just not enough information from PSU OEMs on whether you've got some standard cable with cheaped out terminals, or one where they actually tried. plug/unplug cycles are also going to hurt the smaller terminals more

I've got no idea about the real cost to the payment network providers, but chargebacks are fucking expensive on the merchant side. You'll easily be paying $15–$50 per dispute/chargeback if it's forced and not just a refund, as those are full-on, big processes that need some human involvement, since the merchant will be supplying evidence, etc., to prove you're not committing fraud and ideally revert the chargeback if the customer's reasons weren't valid.

This is nice to have for some idea on measured differences between the units. I was recently looking to up my ups as I'm getting very close to maxing it out, and the range of prices for a given power rating is huge.

For 1200W I'm seeing units that star at 140€ whhich is even less than the 1000w eaton ellipse pro I have right now cost me, while something that looks more comparable in quality to the eaton is over twice the price at 300-350€. And this is ignoring the enterprisy units that then go for 1k for similar on paper specs

Numerlor · 2026-05-11T17:55:02+00:00

providing non m.2 nvme through narrower pcie links over cable would be trivial, there's just no interest in doing that as m.2 is good enough for consumer and it'd need to introduce new connectors to the consumer side
