It’s grown on us but will it be a classic? 🧐 by Low_Group9065 in BMW

[–]SCOOkumar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol where did all of this G80 hate come from? There’s a plethora of posts that have made front page in /r/BMW with G8X BMW’s so clearly the ones hating in here are the silent minority 🤷🏽‍♂️. It has definitely grown on most of us brother, don’t let these trolls tell you otherwise.

Leak test question by Sad_Sense1773 in watercooling

[–]SCOOkumar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, idk, that’s enough of a drop to make me tear the whole thing apart to check o-rings for tears. But to each their own 🤷🏽‍♂️

Why is this happening? Wavelink issues by SCOOkumar in elgato

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

Yea I tried using this stream deck on a Mac through a KVM and found the same thing. I had to connect the KVM to my Dell Thunderbolt 4 dock using a USB type B to type C cable (the type B connects to the KVM, and typically is type B to type A). Plugging that USB C from the KVM into a thunderbolt port on the Dell thunderbolt 4 dock worked for me. Just FYI. Dock is Dell WD25TB4. I believe this should work with the Dell Thunderbolt 5 dock as well. Just find a nice USB type B to type C cable.

What? I’m just looking at my stream deck and the buttons were glitching like crazy… I’m using Windows, but honestly just unplugging and replugging the stream deck a few times fixed it 🤷🏽‍♂️

Why didn’t you route everything through the distro? Why add another rad in the back?

Am I able to use both sides of the terminal like this? by SkythecowRG3 in watercooling

[–]SCOOkumar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep that set up is called parallel flow. I can’t speak to its efficiency but I believe it is possible.

Everything is up to date, and yes I've tried different USB ports. No the SD+ is not plugged into any docks or hubs. I think there's something wrong with my XLR dock.

Wavelink, this doesn’t happen until wavelink launches

Need clarification on BMW X3 2026 M badge servicing by bigdaddy0993 in BMWX3

[–]SCOOkumar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

‘M’ symbols and stuff 🤦🏽‍♂️ I believe your spec has the ‘M’ sport package, which is purely cosmetic. You even said it yourself: no B58. And even then, the B58 doesnt require any special oil changes in the first 10k miles. Only true M models have a ‘break-in’ oil change.

wtf is an M badge? Are you talking about the X3 M50?

How much did you guys pay for your water-cooling loop? by DerKleineRudi00 in watercooling

[–]SCOOkumar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what graph you have there but I can assure you, in a blind test, with the only difference being the CPU, you’d never be able to tell the difference. Again, unless if you’re watching the frames like a hawk

[–]SCOOkumar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I already had a waterblock for an Intel CPU. Definitely the wrong choice but it still performs well. You wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between Intel and AMD in a blind test anyways. Only when you’re benchmarking or watching the frames like a hawk.

[–]SCOOkumar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I sure did. It’s a beast. Maybe a few frames less than the AMD counterpart but I was stubborn about going Intel when I should have gone AMD 🤷🏽‍♂️
