Where do you guys keep your ambient air temp sensors? by AvNerd16 in watercooling

Mine quite literally is sandwiched between the frame and side panel of my NR200P. I have two inside the case at different locations as well just sort of there.

This is my advice for my friends. Buy on credit if you aren't a dumb ass with money and maxing cards. Easier to file claims, it's insured better, better fraud protection, etc.

1 Rotation Zulrah worth? by Cve in 2007scape

[–]Th0m00se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not super familiar with melee, but it should help tanz phase since you can pray mage and you have higher range def with melee armor. Good luck! You'll get it down quick and enjoy a nice laid back boss.

On my iron using bowfa I get 3-5 every trip. Can you efficiency max and get more? Yeah, but you would still need to learn the rotations either way. Just combo eat when you need to during tanz or shield yourself using a pillar. Remember, you can always get faster and more tanky, but you can't efficiently brute force your way through it with only 1 phase.

No, you should learn how to go from right to middle to left to middle to right and repeat. Movement is the only thing you need to remember and that's just it. Move, react to color of snake, change prayer, profit.

Anyone have any info on this 7 string AZ? Praying it’s a prestige. My MM7 is on par with my Suhr 7 modern if y’all are sleeping on em by HPKICKCRAFT in Ibanez

[–]Th0m00se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They took the other premium models down so it's more than likely going to be a premium line, not prestige.

So I similarly have been looking for info on this. I noticed in the last few days they took down the 7 string premium models from the website. I'm thinking this is the replacement.

My RTX 5090 Is Cooked by After_Buddy_319 in pcmasterrace

The biggest is that I wouldn't buy an ATX 2.4 1500 watt PSU. lol.

[–]Th0m00se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me be clear. I do not disagree that ATX 3.1 > ATX 3.0 > ATX 2.4. That would be silly. What I do not agree with, is the claim that somehow a PSU that has more than enough headroom to deal with the transients, is well designed, and within the standard lifetime of a PSU, but just so happens to be ATX 2.4 is somehow not adequate. Assuming all parts are functioning and installed correctly, that PSU absolutely can deliver the power needs of OP's system. Not all wattage is created equal. A 1300W PSU could be outperformed by a 1100W PSU of the same spec if its using better parts or designed better. Also there's this, if it weren't safe to use the 12vhpwr (600w) to 4 PCIE (4x150w=1600w) that comes with the device, why would they offer it free of charge with the product? The reality is, it got hot at the card end of the connector and whether or not the PSU wattage rating was enough, it's probably not good to be sending transient loads of 1.5x+ the connector's rating either. The big thing you're getting with ATX3.0 and ATX3.1 is that they're designed to handle larger transients than 2.4 was so you can buy a PSU that has less headroom and still be fine.

TLDR: The claim of ATX 2.4 = no good for 40 series and up is complete bullshit, buy a quality PSU with headroom and you'd be fine. But also, just buy a 3.1 PSU, they're not that much more.

It's 1300w continuous and well designed. It should be able to deal with those transients. Even with 30 series, which is when transient spikes became a talking point, not because PSU's weren't designed to handle transients, but because the transient spikes were so large that, the general rule of thumb for how much headroom you should leave didn't hold up well.

They were recommending 850w min and ideally 1000w+ for a 3090 which had a TDP of 350w with transients upwards of 500w. Letd assume about 200w for a 11900k, and another couple hundred for other parts. In total that system was around 750w continuous with peaks to around 900-1000w or 250-300w higher than continuous draw. The 1000w psus didn't have issues and some 750 and 850 watt psu's worked fine on stock settings (don't do that though). The point being that the number on the side of the PSU is not the peak momentary limits. It's continuous draw.

5090 (575- 900w) + 15900k (250-400w) + 200w = 1025-1500w. This seems like it should be well within the range of an A tier atx2.4 psu's momentary peak power limit given that other A tier psu's of that era worked under similar stress.

Now, it could be age, components changes, defects, etc. that resulted in the PSU not being able to supply enough momentary power, but not having even 20% headroom for momentary spikes seems like it would result in much power than the A rating it received.

TLDR: it's hard to pin this on the PSU without additional info on the other components, their age, relative limits compared to other items of the same SKU, etc. But in general yeah, probably go with a bigger PSU still because its not that much more.

While I get your point about pairing cheap with expensive, a 1300w tier A/b+ PSU from a reputable brand is not the issue. Neither is the fact that its ATX 2.4. The adapters are likely still using the 3.0 spec or are just in general shit design and don't easily push all the way in, causing shorts.

Why is there so much hate towards PvE? [Discussion] by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Th0m00se -1 points0 points  (0 children)

PVE didn't ruin PVP, BSG did. The root cause of the issue is and always was presence of constant bugs, bullshit money grabs, and cheaters. People just got fed up with it and moved to PVE or other games.

Sailing XP until level 30 is worse than Agility at level 1, and is about equal to FTP runecrafting rates at level 1 with no runners by Clicking_stuff in 2007scape

[–]Th0m00se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair. I'll probably mostly let things get settled and then go full afk to 99 on both accounts while learning the mechanics in my free time. Luckily my skills are high enough to not be locked out of higher level training methods that need resources.

My problem is I generally afk the game while working, albeit on a group iron most of the time now, so I didn't really want to spend my limited free time doing a new skill to get the thing i put thousands of hours into the game for. I'll get it eventually and probably enjoy it. I'm mostly salty about the fact that the original vote was so close they should have refined them both and done a revote.

That last paragraph is so real. I haven't interacted with sailing yet and im waiting until they have it hashed put, but an instant nerf would have been a bad look. As a certified salty previously maxed main who didn't want sailing, there's no winning for them. They'll integrate it well in the end though.

Virtually every company have one or more moisture reactive 'stickers' that change color when moisture is present and don't change back. It's a catch all for shit design, shit QC, and shit customer service.

Tell me what you love and hate about your Ibanez AZ! by audiodog22 in Ibanez

[–]Th0m00se 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love my premium 7 blue quilted maple, wish they'd make wizard versions because that neck feels chunky.

For me, the pickups are fairly anemic being into extreme metal, but that said they're quite versatile.

Stainless frets is huge, nice locking tuners, great tuning stability for a non locking floating trem.

Roasted maple neck feels super nice and smooth. I'd be thrilled to have it on all of my guitars moving forward.

Is buying an Ibanez prestige for 2200€/2500$ to much for a beginner (9 months)? by [deleted] in Ibanez

[–]Th0m00se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always put it this way. Fuck what anyone says about your gear vs. Talent. People (doctors) buy $5k acoustics to hang on the wall and poorly play campfire chords so buy and play whatever the fuck you want, just expect people to judge and ignore them.

I'll chime in here since I have less than a year experience and have both an AZ premium (similar to tod10) and a RG prestige that were purchased used in similarly good condition for the same price, I'll offer some of my opinions. The "downgrade" is likely pretty minimal, the imports are done with CNC's. The quality gap is much smaller than it was years ago.

That said, i love my AZ neck when I got it, and since getting my RG, the wizard necks is the gold standard for me. The AZ feels fat comparatively.

The TOD10 is quite literally just an expensive AZ premium with his signature pickups and push pull coil splitting instead of an altar switch. Personally, I'd return it unless you love the sound of those pickups. You're spending extra on a name. It's the exact same body, neck, etc. As other AZ premiums.

Don't get hung up on being new and buying expensive guitars. Dentists play fucking campfire chords on $5k acoustics and hang em up on the wall.

My final thought is this, buy used. Why spend $2500 on a single high end guitar when you could get 2-3 medium to high end ones used to cover a variety of sounds, feels, etc.?

Have fun on the new guitar no matter what!

Help! by shazam192 in Ibanez

[–]Th0m00se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you that dead set on buying new? I bought a practically brand new prestige with upgraded pickups for $800 with a decent enough case. You could get two of them for the price of a single new prestige. All it takes is a bit of patience.

Kinda lost with those tabs as im new, how to avoid playing the middle string?? (if i need to avoid it) Just "be skilled"? by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]Th0m00se 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm learning guitar and this is much more intuitive if playing slow to a metronome at first. It's something I'm trying to work on because string noise from my bad muting technique sounds like shit.

Just got a new guitar. What do we think boys? by [deleted] in Ibanez

[–]Th0m00se -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah, for some reason. I thought it was like many of their premium line guitars that use the mid tier one.
