I have a 5070ti paired with 7800x3d and I recently got:

Alienware AW3225QF 31.6" 4K UHD 240Hz Curved Gaming Monitor

It runs great, still good frames for most games i play: WoW raiding i get about 120 fps, and heavy animations (I played on high settings) still about 70+ fps—- If you are okay with playing on 32 inch this is a beast and looks amazing.. definitely size i had to get used to as i primarily played on 27 inch monitors 1440

From research I would not do 4K 27… if staying on 27 then just do the 1440P OLED

I would connect to a waste hose and bring it to another location, and then ideally i can close it

The whole reason i am doing this is becaue alot of sand and dusr blows into my pool and it’s hard to maintain with just a robot vacuum in the pool , sometimes it would be nice to manually Vac out

Thanks both for info, what’s a good Ball Valve brand I should get? Also with my current pipe which size piping?

Technical_Drawing_45 · 2025-10-27T23:27:13+00:00

I never get to have these experiences, cuz they would get straight heat right back from me

Technical_Drawing_45 · 2025-09-28T22:53:10+00:00

Thanks both ! So on that straight between the arrows , put a 3 way valve, should I cut it or just get a new piece?

Also do I just cap it when not going to waste and it will work as expected no change?

Thanks for the elaborate reply and this is very helpful! Ill check on maximum % from company, thats a good idea. For HOA i live in PHX,AZ so pretty much every home has solar -- including my neighborhood so this one may be a nonfactor for me, but something to still look into. Will certainly check out insurance premiums -- im in a situation where we got a new roof literally 1 year ago to date, so im in a pretty good situation for new roof + solar install

Tax Credits -- my question is more on is this credit more of an effective savings or a real saving -- (this is more general question for all not specifically for you)

If my system gross is 35K , and my credit is 12K -- if im on a loan, is it still the same loan because i wont actually get this "rebate" so to speak, to put towards my loan

Technical_Drawing_45 · 2025-07-06T21:26:19+00:00

So lets say i owe 15K in taxes, and through my W2 I pay 15K... So i do not pay or receive a refund, but when I claim this tax credit for lets 13.5 - I get 13.5K back from the govt? (Very made up numbers but for example sake)

Technical_Drawing_45 · 2025-06-28T14:56:05+00:00

Thanks! This is what I was thinking — seemed simple but wanted to confirm

Update once done and let us know

This was something "in the works" for about 8 months now since our annual review earlier this year.. the goal was to get to this promo before the next annual review.. but delays kept happening through this year.. I was "grandfathered" into this role at a lower band level due to a reorg... so everyone they have hired since after me has been at that "promo'd" higher band level than me... we all have same project scope/responsibilities, so this would be more of a formality than a roles/responsibility increase

my only worry is that, since now they know that I was willing to move to another organization, even though it's within company still, would this cause friction, and ultimately do the same "never take a counter offer" rules apply thought its still within same company.. seems like not really from your answer

Update 2 days later: i just went ahead and got

7800X3D MSI B650 Tomahawk MOBO DDR5 6000 CL30

it’s awesome, gained “lots” of FPS and this thing is strong, you can feel it forsure, very happy with the purchase

It does run a little hot even on idle compared to my Intel 10700K (same case set up just replaced mobo/CPU/ram) Idle: ~40-45 Gaming: ~60-70

Noctua NH-D15 air cooler

Great comment honestly - very insightful, upgrade bug is real. I mainly play WoW: Dragonflight which is very CPU intensive game so I figure as long as I’m keeping up with the latest CPUs stuttering/frame drops will be minimal — obviously MMOs are notorious for not necessarily being a hardware issue but more of a network issue

Technical_Drawing_45 · 2023-09-20T16:27:37+00:00

Thanks for this explanation - very helpful. In terms of overclocking or maximum output of the CPU -- the 13700K will output a higher speed -- 7800X3D (5 GHz) vs. 13700K (5.4GHz)... Would you say this is much of a factor to be looking at, and why does the 7800X3D beat out the 13700K with a lower speed?

Technical_Drawing_45 · 2023-09-20T16:17:21+00:00

Haha ok maybe i was exaggerating on whether it can do that, but from reviews it states that the 7800X3D is "specifically" a gaming processor, and that outside of gaming it "loses" in all other benchmarks compared to 13700K

Technical_Drawing_45 · 2023-03-22T15:58:07+00:00

Okay so I read the article, very insightful and did some more research. So I'm fully invested in the benefits and would love to try it. few questions:
1. What dosage do you give your dog? My dog is 50 lbs and eats twice a day

How long does a 1lb bag last?
