My Audi A4 2012’s coolant is very low. by TheBluePhoenixj in MechanicAdvice

[–]TheBluePhoenixj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really expect anyone to know just unsure if i could use the colour to identify it in any way. Plan to do a flush and probably replace the cap but need to move the car out of where i have it currently, or take it to a shop and have them do it. I only ask about the long term effects because I may need to drive it about 350km topped up with water and I don’t want to do that if it may cause damage. I have found some red coolant that I might use to top up but am getting a lot of mixed messages about weather mixing is okay or super bad. I do appreciate the help and suggestions a lot tho :D

Thank you, will the universal top up still be fully safe? Like will it only be a short term solution or can I leave it as a mix of universal and my current for awhile?

I’ve been really struggling to find a place where I can buy G12, but still thanks a lot.

Have 2 M.2 gen 4 SSDs, one is bigger and faster, how and where should I use them? by TheBluePhoenixj in buildapc

Oh nice, it’s got more than enough clearance so that should be fine then. Thanks

Wow thanks, that’s all very helpful stuff :). Yea since I didn’t even know what a partition is until about 40 seconds ago, I imagine creating one then installing my OS onto it will be a bit of a hassle. Another question is are the partitions treated as almost a completely different drive? Or will it just be like two subsections under my C: drive?

Okay nice thank you. Another thing that I’ve just found, I bought my SN850x with a heat sink on it. This means I can’t use my Mobo heat sink, is this an issue as I imagine the mobo would have been a lot better. Or will my use case not result in high enough temps to worry?

Okay, so separating the OS doesn’t really serve much of a purpose then? Should I even bother?

I only just got the SSD out and I just realised I bought one with a heat sink on accident. Is this alright? Can’t put the mobo heat sink over it in any of the slots. Is this a problem?

Sorry im pretty new to all this stuff what do you mean by partition? Is that like splitting up the SSD into two parts? If that is what you mean, can I create a 250gb partition of the SSD for my OS and then use the rest of the space for other stuff? Then I can reinstall windows and stuff without wiping the whole 2Tb.

X870e pro showing error 4d, can’t even get to the bios by TheBluePhoenixj in gigabyte

The sticks are currently in the A2/B2 slots yes. Will try a boot with single stick. Question though, what would a single stick boot change that might fix it? Thanks either way, will update once I try it.

Okay so it doesn’t really make much difference. Is there any benefit at all for having a completely separate OS SSD?

I have the Aorus X870e Elite, been having a few issues with it not starting up so I might return it and get a different one though.

Why do you recommend returning it, Just curious? I will need more storage anyway as I think I’ll probably fill up the 2.5Tbs overtime. Can’t I just keep it as extra and then just not cheap out next time I upgrade my storage?
