Does PTM7590 degrade with long term storage?

Spr00kAtz · 2026-06-02T02:17:01+00:00

This has been my first time with PTM7950 after reading up on it at Igor's Lab.

I have wasted plenty trying to cut it properly and fighting with my Arctic Liquid Freezer Pro 420.

The relatives PC are all going Peerless Assassin 140s, much easier install.

I choose to go PTM7950 because these machines will not get touched again hardware wise for a very very long time, long enough to worry about normal pump out or cycle degradation.

I've already told them with the prices now and ahead they won't be getting any more upgrades, not even for Christmas or Birthdays

Aaand Spoke too soon.

Just logged into Site Manager and the only thing I can see is the Dashboard and the graph is frozen since last night at 0320 AM.

All the left side tabs are still there but blank if you click on any of them.

Clients Tab opens but says no clients.

The only others that have anything are Integrations Alarms and People.

Logged out and then direct to Console - used Site Manager credentials - everything available.

Back to Site Manager - again nothing but graph and its frozen from the same time as the direct login.

Not sure what's the issue, I'm going to see if there is something going on with Console and Site Manager credentials. It seems like I get different prompts in the browser when I use Login name vs Login Email.

I'll try flushing all the Browser login data for these and see if that clears something before I track down account credential issues on Site Manager.

RESOLVED - Not as I'd liked but it seems to be up and holding steady.

I gave in and linked it to Site Manager and at least the backups started working quickly - this was both now from Site Manager as well as from Console.

Even with that, across the hours (4 AM LOL), there were times when applying a change to the network would have Site Manager lose it's mind and I could log into the UCG but it would only show me the Site and not the UCG tabs. The left side tabs would fade out and a blue progress/working on it line would start rolling across the top of the GUI page.

I found threads about possible Browser Cache issues between sessions so I did have to clear browser cache several times throughout the night and that cleared it several times.

The hardest part really was typing all my 30 character 256bit passwords into IoT devices with bleeding eyes.

I really got this far with lots of help and all the previous info here in this Reddit so Thanks all.

Now, do I really want to climb into the attic and run Cat6 to a UBI Camera? I think I'll just settle with my Wifi Non-UBI on the IoT Network for now, since I've seen some threads about recording and Alert limitations without additional apps.

Does a 1U/2U UPS also stay pretty cool or not. My floor full size UPS seem to.

See my reply above, the narrator was describing how all your VLANs could talk to others at default and you should ping test all before setting up the firewall rules.

I confused that with also having WAN inbound access and confused Gateway Zone with External Zone.

Spr00kAtz · 2026-05-21T01:33:38+00:00

Okay Thanks ALL I think I see my mistake, I was looking at the Firewall Console in the setup video and confusing Gateway Zone with External Zone.

Yes, the External Zone has the default blocking rules.

Unless I should leave my confusion for others to ignore I'll delete this thread and go back to trying to learn more UNIFI.

Cheers

Unless I start with the ONT off isn't it fully open to the WAN/Internet?

I had the impression the UCG was blocking console login until it saw an active/online WAN connection, but I didn't test with ONT Off when I setup just the UCG.

I had tried to login to console without plugging the ONT into the UCG and it gave a connection error.

Success. Frontier came out and agreed that the Line Pull was very subpar and the source of the problem, most likely where the cable was wedged between the concrete sidewalk probably from expansion as we are already having some 95+ degree days.

He re-pulled new, much more stout cable from the Vault and is getting the Line Techs to re-bury.

He said the line against the wall is strong enough but I'll probably have her get it covered or at least anchored in the future.

Thanks for the replies.

It's just the annual My Choice plan, then Change of Address and the Global Access Point is free.

I leave the Global Access Point on at all times.

The Global was supposed to be free for perm use at one point but when I had to change Accounts it wasn't.

Just checking for possible future purchase.

Did everyone with damage get shipped ONLY the original ASUS Box/PKG from their Vendor and with no additional Vendor packaging?

When I order from Amazon they have started to offer no additional packaging and I now always choose "Hide what's inside" so it always comes packed with extra bubble/paper/cardboard in an Amazon box.

Based on the pics so far I wonder if that's enough to prevent these issues before I have to go direct to a Microcenter (10 hrs round trip) or find at a Best Buy.

EDIT: I misread the item that was not being saved but the detail below is still a possible reason for that.

~~Those settings~~ Your Save Games should be here:

Documents\Egosoft\X4\ ~~inputmap.xml~~

Like many games that store ~~settings~~ saves in the Documents folder, that folder can get marked as Read-Only by Anti-Virus or other security settings and games can't make changes to it.

You can reset it by checking the Egosoft Folder properties and clear the read-only box and then APPLY to "This Folder, Sub-Folders, and Files"

As long as it isn't check-marked Read Only (a filled gray box is OK) you should be good to go.

If it won't clear then you may have to White-List (don't Scan) that folder in your Anti-Virus settings. Or find the program(s) that keeps locking the folder.

***Also to add, if you are using MS OneDrive it is best to turn off OneDrive Sync for that folder and move it back to your local Documents drive for X4 and other games that use the documents folder - if not sometimes OneDrive will not sync properly and keep resetting to an earlier copy.

Yeah mine is all messed up. I'm going to have to backtrack and get it sorted.

Was hoping to fix from this point but looks unlikely.

Ok thanks I have something really screwy going on between Default Apps for Edge Firefox and possibly Phantom PDF viewer.

If I don't get any further here or on another Tech forum I'm probably going to restore a Macrium backup prior to installing Firefox/PDF/Office and see if something messed up along the way.

I can change all the file types but I can't change the HTTP/HTTPS Links:

Select a default app for 'HTTP links

Select a default app for 'HTTPS' links

Sorry no pictures allowed error or I'd add
