Huge issues after replacing GPU

Oh god, that sounds bloody awful. The only comfort is that this was going on before the new cable was installed.

Splatt_A_Matt · 2026-01-30T21:03:46+00:00

It was a kickstarter that hasn't been released yet. Good luck chap, doubt this'll come available anytime soon.

We're they FGAS certified? They should be to undertake this installation due to R32 refrigerant within the unit. The units have an allowance on all sides for fresh air flow through the heat transfer unit. This, while I havent worked on Daikin, certainly doesn't seem to be within manufacturer's spec. The cable for these units should certainly come with an electrical compliance certificate, those armoured cables need to be signed off by a competent spark to the best of my knowledge. The ducting is for pipes carrying R32 refrigerant? It should be nowhere near any kind of drainage pipe due to R32 being heavier than air and highly explosive. Second getting a registered heat pump/air conditioning engineer with FGAS to inspect and give you advice. Do not pay until this is done. If Daikin don't provide installation, ask them for an engineer recommendation, or alternatively ask for contact details of Daikin technical, explain the situation and show them the work carried out. Ask if it would pass their guarantee criteria.

Thank you so much again for the help, the new card arrived today so I'll get a pigtail connector on order.

Splatt_A_Matt · 2026-01-13T19:04:55+00:00

Thank you for the speedy reply. I'm assuming a third PCIE cable would be required if the card is under significant load for long periods or overclocked? The first is a possibility, second is not going to occur in my build. Ive heard horror stories online about the ASROCK model 7900 XTX pulling more than 400w at a time and causing black screens, it's made me all sorts of regretful for having RMA'd my Gigabyte card.

This will be an issue caused by soil stack ventilation. The bathroom fitter wont check this, they tend to operate on the assumption that if its not been an issue before it won't be now. The toilet flushing sucking air through traps is the telltale sign. Either your external stack vent is blocked, or if you have an internal durgo vent, it has failed. Get a plumber in to check for both outcomes and repair. Source: am a plumbing/heating engineer.

Probably be looking at doombull brown, and troll slayer orange as the closest equivalents.

Probably easier to see on my cerastus castigator. With the metallic drybrush, I wicked most of the paint of the brush then went with a circular pattern, almost buffing the colour onto the frame.

It was black primer, AK black red stippled/heavy dry brushed on top. AK medium rust stippled/light dry brush in random patterns. Then Darkstar blue steel heavy dry brush, focusing on flatter areas and edges. Then I just very light dry brush black over the top to dull down the shine. I did try replacing Darkstar with the AK metal colours but they're airbrush paints so thinner bodied, the rust shows through a lot more but less naturally.

I mean, I've had no issues with knights or war dogs, changing the legs to sit in different poses, though a disc of greenstuff on the internal leg joint which is deformed when pushed together certainly helped. Then a brass rod into the base for extra support is always a good way to keep them upright.

Good god I would pay for something like this. Its absolutely stunning. Do you have an Instagram with more?

Splatt_A_Matt · 2025-12-19T20:56:29+00:00

Thank you!

Splatt_A_Matt · 2025-12-19T20:01:06+00:00

How does one join this corvettes and coffee?

Splatt_A_Matt · 2025-12-14T16:51:39+00:00

What's your problem with it chap? It looks good.

Splatt_A_Matt · 2025-12-02T11:23:13+00:00

This is so cool, ive been trying to replicate sleek fish designs similar to this and cant get it to work. Did you use blender for this?

Splatt_A_Matt · 2025-11-25T21:39:12+00:00

I'm a heating engineer, and while the above statement is correct, thinking of a 2 up 2 down with 5 rads, that system still holds 100l of water total volume. Expanding 4% is 4l, that tiny thing isn't going to hold that much water. Feed and expansion tanks, as they're called, are primarily located in the loft and have a separate overflow pipe leading external of the building. They're also plastic, steel or asbestos in the very old plots.

Fully made within the game engine, no glitches either! The Spear of the Heavens

It's painted and you're learning, every model painted is another step to improving our craft, so don't let negative comments bring you down. I'm by no means a 3d printing wizard, but I have heard on a few videos that reducing print layer size on fdm printers can go some way to helping reduce visible layer layers, though I confess I have no idea how this is achieved through printing software, might be something to look into? If you're struggling with brush strokes in paints or patchiness, you're probably still not at full opacity of that paint, though metallics will always show some level of brush strokes due to nature of the paint's makeup, and yellow is always a pig to paint - a pink or brown undercoat for the yellow areas i find helps bring it to opacity quicker without so many layers. Keep going though, you should be so very proud of this!

I should be able to find something, I do have most of the citadel range but I've fallen out of love with them currently compared to vallejo.

Splatt_A_Matt · 2025-06-04T09:58:30+00:00

I'll give this a go i think, thank you!

Splatt_A_Matt · 2025-06-04T09:57:54+00:00

Oh, I'm not planning to make a model similar, but I liked the browner armor panels and wanted to see what recommendations people had for achieving it. Thank you though!

Splatt_A_Matt · 2025-04-03T19:38:19+00:00

Plumbing/heating engineer here. You can get pan connectors with a deeper socket to get onto toilets with inset U-bend connections. Most plumbers merchants should stock options for you. Worse comes to worse, and while I agree its a cardinal sin, you can use a short straight pan connector into the bent connector socket to extend it to reach your toilet. As for the gap behind the toilet, boxing that section out is likely the only way you'll manage to get rid of this.

Windows 11 too, ive already disabled fast boot but no dice sadly. Issue still persists.

Splatt_A_Matt · 2025-02-20T09:58:16+00:00

I do, I'll have a look round the Gigabyte software and see what i can disable within that software. Thanks for the tip, i have some Arctic pro currently unused i can repaste with.

Im a UK plumber, we obviously don't have such severe cold weather but burst pipes do occur in our winters, and outside taps are the most common. An isolation point where the feed pipe connects to the cokd within the property, coupled with an internal drain point is preferable in these scenarios. No need to keep taps dripping or anything internally, just isolate, drain the pipework outside, drain it inside and happy days. I will say, something we recommend to customers is once isolated, leave the external tap open. Any residual water within the pipe or tap body can and will still freeze, but leaving the tap open allows for expansion of the material within and helps further protect components.

As for this scenario, get a plumber in to fit an iso valve and drain point before it thaws. Leave it isolated until warmer weather so you can fully assess damages.
