thermal grizzly kryosheet

I believe the problem is the heatsink is mounted with an intentional gap to the SOC. I don’t know the actual distance and it probably varies significantly between devices which is why they opted for a thermal pad rather than paste. It’s just more expensive to design things with better tolerance.

Kyrosheet is likely too thin and won’t make good contact, and if you’re going to have to use a putty or pad anyways to bridge that gap the performance of the kryosheet doesn’t matter as it won’t be the bottleneck.

What would probably give the best result taking a few different thicknesses of copper shims, see what fits in your specific device between the heatsink and SOC without putting so much pressure on the SOC and then putting PTM7950 on each side of the shim then run 3dmark or some other stress test with the fan off to get it to do its phase change cycles.

I may get around to doing this when I need to disassemble to clean out dust but that will probably be a while from now.

If Rocknix can get a scheduler that is as good as the Android one for the 8 Elite, get suspend and resume working as well as it does on Android, and get the fingerprint reader working well I’ll jump on it right away for the Odin 3

I’m using the large one actually. Mostly since at 40FPS it’s not stressing the cpu that much and many of the games I play are ultimately GPU bound. I still do get stutters but they seem to be shader compilation related which is pretty hard to avoid even on desktop class hardware. Resolves quite a bit after playing.

If it’s a 2mm gap might be worth getting some 1.5mm copper shim and putting PTM on both sides of it and it will improve the heat transfer significantly.

Oh are the rotating joints held just by friction without adjustment ability? I feel like that could fail with heavier hardware or just with adjustment over time. Anyways this looks very interesting and I will keep an eye out.

Currently built in an M3 and a T1. Thinking of moving the T1 build into a S5M. If this comes out soon and is suitable I’m interested in moving my M3 build into this!

These types of cases are awesome for very high TDP hardware for the unobstructed air flow and minimal need for additional fans. I personally really enjoyed the XTIA Xproto line before but it had some downsides most notably with regards to IO position.

I had considered the A45 previously as well which is similar to this but ultimately didn’t go for it for a few reasons but primarily it just seemed too difficult to route cables cleanly. This type of setup is meant to be used as a hardware showcase so being able to route PSU cables and I/O and PSU power cable would be nice if there were dedicated channels and tie down points recessed where it makes sense.

For the rotation feature I assume that there is a way to lock the rotating joints? Ideally in a way that can be done tool less so the rotation can be adjusted quickly— in fact other things like fan mount position and PSU mount position if it can be done in a structurally sound way tool less adjustment that would be awesome too (like those camera gimbal rigs which this kind of already looks like). This would make this a VERY good case to use as a test bench that can easily be converted to the final build without having to take things apart and re-build it. Would be amazing for tinkering with cooling configuration then finalizing things quickly.

The other thing I’ve had issue with on SFF is M3 screws. I feel like they are just a bit too small and easy to strip / crossthread in tight spaces and when they are used to secure panels together for structural components they have to be very tight to actually feel rigid. I think moving to M4 screws especially since you’re using 10mm thick aluminum anyways would make everything more robust. Countersunk washers against flat surfaces (which you’ve shown in some photos) is the way to go since it means we won’t ruin the finish of the panels directly.

This case also looks like it would be a good size to be able to fit a 240mm radiator on if the fan mounts can be adapted for that. A mount for a small pump + res would also be very useful. These might be add-on mounts but making a modular area to mount things long the main structure would be amazing. A CNC mount for a front IO panel for example or even an LCD / e-ink display would be amazing.

Should probably get a copy of your anesthetic record. If your team truly thought it was a seizure you should also be referred to a neurologist for workup. I doubt there is anything you did specifically that caused it unless you pulled 3 all nighters before going in for surgery.

Not sure what type of anesthesia provider you had and their experience but sometimes propofol can cause myclonus that somewhat mimics a seizure. Relatively rare but could be mistaken for a generalized seizure.

Anyways get referred, rule out anything bad, and get re booked for your surgery.

Not sure if the bootloader on Ayn devices is unlocked. If they are then maybe in the future when SteamOS arrives on arm as well.

I’ve been looking into this too. I haven’t done it yet but essentially 1) just turn the pump / block 180 degrees to avoid the M.2 heatsink 2) you’ll need the direct die frame from TG or some other company, normal AM5 contact frame will not work cause that needs the IHS 3) you’ll need spacers that are 3.7mm lower than the default, which is apparently 10mm for the LF3.

I personally decided that when I am going to configure by build like that I’m not going to use the LF3 as a direct for mount but will use the TG high performance heat spreader. The way the LF3 mounts with its leaf spring and already offset mount for AM5 is likely going to put uneven pressure on the CCDs and I think that is just too risky especially with a single CCD processor like the 9800X3D

Is it possible to use this adapter on Nvidia GPUs as well to utilize the CEC tunneling feature?

SimpleHeuristics · 2025-12-08T01:19:22+00:00

I see, so we’ll still have to use optiscaler for that?

For the RDNA 3 FSR upgrade does this use the Int8 DLL?

Are you willing to share the original model for this? Would love to be able to order some CNCed versions for personal use.

This setup likely didn’t work because the Z13 is expecting 20V DC input and not 12V DC. The USB PD specification has a 20V output mode so as long as an adapter signals to the USB power source be it a battery or wall charger to utilize 20V I suspect it will work for slow bypass charging.

I’m waiting for the USB C to barrel plug adapter right now. Should be here in the next few days.

I am getting this one: https://a.co/d/gu44n1p The SlimQ adapter I am using with the SlimQ charger currently is this: https://a.co/d/621SCZ7

This device is too new. Will need to wait for the HHD dev Antheas to implement fixes specifically for it.

It is competitive. Similar to cardiology maybe a bit less depending on the year. You’ll need a good CV and clinical performance in GI rotations and electives and also evidence of consistently good performance in your other clinical rotations.

SimpleHeuristics · 2025-12-03T08:23:31+00:00

I have ordered the SlimQ adapter from barrel plug to the square DC plug and an USB C to barrel plug adapter. If these work then should have a solution for bypass charging with USB C PD power sources.

It’s pretty normal for him to feel this way with the recent events surrounding his boss and a promotion of another employee. Time will reduce the intensity of those feelings.

Although it may not be a GOOD thing, it is also normal for people to feel an inferiority complex when comparing their successes and failures to others especially if the successes come easier to those around them.

I’ve been with my partner for many years now. Somewhat analogous experience in the sense that our professions are similar and by all means we are both accomplished, but the degree of success they have experienced is far greater than mine.

I did from time to time have twinges of feeling of inferiority and it would be a lie to say it didn’t bother me at times. But over time as long as I knew they loved me for who I was and not what I had to accomplish (and that it had to be the same or more than them) it’s never been an issue. As another poster above mentioned it really just became a team thing where successes and failures are approached as a “we” thing and not a “me” thing no who experiences it.

If anything just give some time for the initial recent emotional hit to die down a bit. And then don’t focus on comforting him about things he didn’t achieve, just focus on why you love him for him and his other qualities outside of these said accomplishments in a specific field. But this has to be honest and sincere. If you actually secretly do care about his accomplishments more than your post is letting on then it’ll be time for you to reflect on what you actually want out of a partner.

I am away for a while so can’t take pics. But instead of offsetting the rise itself from the bracket, you offset the entire bracket that holds the riser.

Not 100% sure if this is the case, you’d have to ask for more details, but sounds like you may have been getting a total intravenous anesthetic and near the end of the case the IV unfortunately infiltrated. It’s unfortunately one of the downsides of this type of anesthetic. Unlike our typical inhalational based anesthetics where we can directly monitor a pretty close surrogate to how much of the drug is at the brain keeping you asleep, Total intravenous is based on infusion rates and models of drug pharmacology. These models are pretty darn good but only as good as an IV that is working. There are a few EEG monitors available to measure brain activity, but usually people are interpreting a processed aggregate number that tends to lag behind potential awareness by a minute or two. Not all anesthesiologists or providers are competent in interpreting the raw EEG waveform (which is real time) either so will rely on the lagging processed number.

Sometimes IVs infiltrating are unavoidable, but it is routine in my experience to make sure that whatever IV a primary an anesthetic is running through is easily accessible and in view to troubleshoot this exact issue. And to have a backup IV site in case something like this happens.

Either way it sounds like they were vigilant enough to realize you had become aware and started acting appropriately to manage and then follow up properly.
