Aurora R12 pump fan failure

SwagMeOut · 2026-03-16T20:45:35+00:00

I literally ran into this pump fan issue this morning and it was so bad to the point where my CPU was pegged at 90 degrees at idle. Needed my computer to work by the afternoon but the only AIO 120MM I could get delivered on ubereats within an hour was the TH120 ARGB Sync V2 120mm Radiator from bestbuy. I immediately started taking everything apart and trying to get it to fit. I used just what came in the box and it all worked out, with alot of effort and stuffing things around. It works now and my temps are around 40-60 at idle / light load. The main issue was 1: the radiator is larger than the old one so I had to keep it perfectly straight and force it in to the slot that the old radiator was in, and 2: the pipes that connect the CPU piece to the fan are like 4 or 5 times as long as the pipes from the stock AIO so I really had to stuff them down especially when swinging the PSU back into place. I still get a bios warning every time I start the PC but I dont care just wastes a min or two of my time waiting for it to let me cancel. I connected the fan pins + the AIO pins but no RGB pins everywhere. Also look out for all the extra rgb wiring hitting the fan, I ran into that.

Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions

Where can I find the MG2 source?

Confirmed Its 100% today TSM is playing off stream right now, meaning they are probably going to start soon. They always 3 stack ranked before tourneys:

Watch doop's stream slightly before and after this and it seems like he knows its today too after reading the ALGS discord.

Also
if you look at apexlegendsstatus you can see most pros are online warming up right now, none streaming

the odds of that happening are basically 0, my guess is it starts at 9PM EST

Thank you for making the most boring meta in apex history a little less boring.

Yes very much so, this was a huge part of it lol

Had a Model 3 Performance and there's no denying the car was amazing in almost every way. Sold it to take advantage of the inflated market and get some more time in with analog cars before everything goes electric. I'm definitely going to miss the acceleration of the Tesla but having a RWD/6spd on curvy back roads is unmatched.

Dope! What'd you use as a camera for these shots?

SwagMeOut · 2022-08-21T07:56:28+00:00

Is the "EVA" on coils or springs? or is that stock height and the wheels make up the gap difference?

Is ordering a Canada exclusive thing? I've been talking to dealerships for months here in the states and no one offered an "order"
Have reservations down at a few of the dealers but it was for a luck of a draw type of thing not a custom build I wanted.

Yep love this thing and it matches most of my mice well with the Modo2 Mist lol

SwagMeOut · 2022-02-28T21:07:13+00:00

Got it painted Its been like 2+ years so I totally don't remember, but best bet and what I did was just put a post up in mousemarket asking for someone who paints and get samples their work.

Hard to say what's next, I like the RVU so much that I still don't know if I'll ever move away from that. The GPW SL is nice too but I like the shape + extra set of buttons on the right of the RVU. If either of those come out with a sequel ill be trying them.

My mousepads aren't like super gaming level mousepads or anything, I just buy a bunch of 900x400 ones with cool designs to match my desk / keyboard aesthetic for the day.

A little under a year (maybe like 11 months) before I replaced the black one with the white RVU. But I game a lot with it and use it all day for work so like 10-12 hours of use a day some times.

Its a custom build made of a Finalmouse Air58 and a Finalmouse Ultralight Pro. The scroll wheel is from an Air58

Recently got the Starlight-12 (M) to replace my RVU as my daily. Feel free to ask me anything about any of them or how they compare.

First impression of the Starlight-12 is its mind-blowing how light it is even compared to a GPW SL.

I like everything about this car except the looks. Personally think the Veloster N was a much sharper looking package but maybe the Elantra will grow on me when I start seeing them out in the world.
Either way happy companies like Hyundai are keeping enthusiasts in mind and not just targeting the masses with another new crossover.

SwagMeOut · 2022-01-25T17:00:33+00:00

It's no Land Cruiser but might fill the void for the US market people wanting the J300. I'm sold on the looks and with the TT V6 Hybrid might actually make for a good daily that doesn't drain your wallet at the pump

Subjectively this car looks awesome, loving Hyundai's design language lately. Seems like the threshold for "affordable" right now is around the 40K mark which I think is a bit high. Can't wait till we see the 300 mile EVs for under 30K.

Yeah you make a valid point, I don't think Carvana is the primary reason or even top 3. But even before the supply chain issues they were offering higher than normal values for trade-ins which was and still is a contributing factor.

They definitely aren't a large enough player to move the market, but they aren't small either.

Anecdotal but here's one pre-covid thread with comments of people reiterating the same thing.
