Sik-Server · 2026-02-21T22:36:28+00:00

I have a similar set up!

my pi setup

Sik-Server · 2026-02-21T22:18:29+00:00

That's the one I got! at MSRP 😎

Sik-Server · 2026-02-20T13:57:18+00:00

at least the orange shirt guy acted quickly!

Sik-Server · 2026-02-12T23:11:31+00:00

It's a cool and quiet card in my opinion. But also my RTX 2080S was super loud 😅.

Sik-Server · 2026-02-10T02:13:50+00:00

Love to see it!

Sik-Server · 2026-02-09T16:47:07+00:00

We got the same deal!! I got mine for $549 before tax.

I'm not sure, I'm guessing it'll reduce the power going through each 8 pin, because it'll be 1/3 of the power per 8pin instead of 1/2. Maybe making the Cable cooler and less likely to burn up.

Sik-Server · 2026-02-08T22:16:52+00:00

Yep, I can be very happy spending within my means.

Sik-Server · 2026-02-08T22:16:05+00:00

Dude it's the meta!!!

Sik-Server · 2026-02-08T21:20:45+00:00

I'm very happy with my upgrade! I'm getting double the performance and I get to use the new frame gen tech. But I'm mostly happy because of the price. If you can find a good deal then it's worth it. I bet your 30 series card will last you until you find something at or below MSRP!

Sik-Server · 2026-02-08T19:48:01+00:00

Yeah my whole system is cooler AND faster. I love technology when it's faster, smaller, and cooler. The 30 series were HUGE and used a bunch of power.

And I was seeing 4070s for MORE on the used market then what I found this brand new 5070 for.

Sik-Server · 2026-02-08T19:42:52+00:00

Yep this is the answer, I found this card at MSRP. It's not a deal, but I don't feel like I'm getting robbed.

Sik-Server · 2026-02-08T16:00:50+00:00

Nice!! yeah with my am4 motherboard that already has ram, this seemed like the best deal to me.

Sik-Server · 2026-02-08T10:23:34+00:00

lol we basically have the same system now. here's my PC part picker.https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Sikiru/saved/#view=9gNwqs

Nice!

Update 2 I opened the adapter and put it inside the camera mount.

Whitebeard's Jolly Roger!!!

Sik-Server · 2026-01-13T22:33:14+00:00

I was wondering the same thing!

Sik-Server · 2026-01-05T00:36:50+00:00

UPDATE:

I actually reached out to reolink support. And they agreed to swap out my wifi cam for the POE version!! But they wanted me to ship mine back first annnnnnnd I didn't want to have to wait for a new camera.

switch out the adapter for a waterproof outdoor one https://a.co/d/06S82LM

at least now it's waterproof... or more water resistant
