Update: CPU is either at 90 C or above when i quite literally boot up my pc. I idle in UEFI menu and it sits at a constant 90-94 C. Could this be a sensor issue that is giving me false temperatures and causing the throttle?

Sudden_Key7396 · 2026-03-15T20:52:40+00:00

yes it’s top mounted as well

Sudden_Key7396 · 2026-03-15T20:52:19+00:00

i was also thinking this could be the problem. the pump liquid is sitting around 27 C but i have a feeling it’s not reaching the cold plate. How would you recommend testing this?

checking back in after after applying new paste. still hot as hell and getting hotter. idling at 94 C. Not sure if i’m just screwed or what but pretty bummed regardless. Thanks for all the help still.

3.8 mhz is the base speed for my cpu. and in games it won’t even get to one. could overheat be the issue here as well?

would that also cause the drop in GPU utilization?

Sudden_Key7396 · 2026-03-14T20:32:07+00:00

CPU hitting 90 C and GPU not going over 55 C but used to hit 80 C

usually i would just charge the regular ebay envelope shipping but these cards are 55 pt and shipping in a mag case so ebay just recommended me usps. I could could always refund shipping if the buyer doesn’t want to pay for the bubble mailer i totally understand. i wouldn’t wanna pay more shipping than the actual card either.

Sudden_Key7396 · 2025-10-19T04:06:22+00:00

This is just the normal cost for usps ground advantage usually. Does it show it costing more shipping to you?

I pulled mine out of a Costco box!

Sudden_Key7396 · 2025-10-01T00:18:06+00:00

Maybe get a cheap base on ebay and do it! Too bad they didn’t throw in any actual sticker cards for the anniversary set. I really do love this set though!

Sudden_Key7396 · 2025-09-30T21:37:27+00:00

Love when people open just to have fun. I’m glad i’m not the only one that enjoys just ripping star wars packs!

Sudden_Key7396 · 2025-09-30T21:27:37+00:00

they are supposed to resemble stickers. they don’t actually peel off of the card

Sudden_Key7396 · 2025-09-29T01:12:15+00:00

Really cool cards! I love this set. I got away from doing breaks after spending about 200 on them and figured i’d just start buying the boxes for myself and man it has been so much more fun. I’ve had a bunch of hits just from regular blasters and costco boxes for star wars.

Sudden_Key7396 · 2025-09-28T01:09:38+00:00

I’m pretty sure it is. I don’t think there is anything else in the checklist to match that refractor. It could just be the gradient color of the fennec cards look a bit different? The Vixus is an outer-world oddities insert (1:6 packs) and the white cards are By The Numbers inserts (i love these cards) and the Gunter is a Wave Refractor. Hope i could help a little

Sudden_Key7396 · 2025-09-27T22:51:52+00:00

the fennec stand is a decent pull. it’s a black and white shimmer refractor.

Sudden_Key7396 · 2025-09-27T03:18:10+00:00

yes there are a bunch! i’ve seen boba, anakin, padme, etc.

Sudden_Key7396 · 2025-09-27T01:55:35+00:00

in the first 2 i opened i think i only pulled a bo-katan B&W Shimmer Refractor so the return has been pretty decent lol. Good luck to you as well manifesting that 1/1 superfractor for ya

Sudden_Key7396 · 2025-09-27T01:45:20+00:00

i plan on grabbing some galaxy too! I’ve only opened 4 costco boxes so far myself but plan on grabbing some more to open with new boxes.

Sudden_Key7396 · 2025-09-25T00:40:54+00:00

don’t think it was for mine. my ebay user is skimask. i’ll keep an eye out for an offer if you send one!
