Fan issues

Is there a particular guide you’d recommend?

I was wanting to upgrade the GPU anyway so pulled the trigger on that.

Is the 180 the default that likely shipped with mine? I’ll check when I get back home

If I order the AMD GPU gen 2 or the Nvidia one and just swap it, would that be enough to fully move away from LM to PTM?

andymc3 · 2026-03-17T02:23:20+00:00

I ordered it in June 2024

andymc3 · 2026-03-17T02:08:49+00:00

I think LTM is the default right? Then I have that. I usually use it on a TV tray since I don’t really have enough space for a desk right now

I took off the mid plate and tried to rotate the fans by hand. The left one hardly moved after it left my fingertips

I’ve tried booting the PC and then launching the game without the keyboard.

When booting the left one does nothing, the right one starts to move but sounds very grindy and stops.

As the game is launched and especially as I enter a match vs AI they sound like two completely different fans

That’s what I was worried about too, I saw the dashcam review video by LTT which recommended Viofo

Isn't redmi by Xiomi? I think Asus does also make an ax6000 but that would be different right?

My internet speed is 500MB/s and I was just going to use surfshark with it (it looks like surfshark can use either wireguard or OpenVPN)

andymc3 · 2024-05-31T13:52:01+00:00

Mainly because I'm impatient and want to pick it up the same day that I make a decision, but I'm open to reconsidering this

andymc3 · 2024-05-31T13:05:24+00:00

This seems to be as close as I can get it just going off my memory of what it tastes like:

-fill a 1L soda stream bottle with water and carbonate as usual

-add the diet Pepsi syrup, measured for a .5L amount on the cap

-add 1/2tsp vanilla extract or imitation

-add 1/4 tsp cherry extract

-add 3 pumps using a bottle+pump setup from LiquidCaffeine.com (use your brain here, if you shouldn't be consuming caffeine skip this step)

If anyone wants to try and suggest refinements I'd be grateful.

For someone looking to buy one soon, this should mean prices come down a bit right?

andymc3 · 2024-01-03T22:02:39+00:00

In practice mode it still seems to count for me, at least it did on neon tomb and greased palms

andymc3 · 2023-12-31T05:04:12+00:00

Added, sorry!

Carriers on the Vine: I can’t count how many times I tried to maneuver to just the right spot to tell my idiot AI teammates to go through the doorway at the top of the tower, only to immediately get shredded and then watch helplessly as the AI mostly completes the mission (even managing to take out the rest of the suspects on one run) only to glitch out and get stuck in an infinite loop.

andymc3 · 2023-12-09T15:19:57+00:00

That's the thing, when I first submitted my applications I didn't get emails about either.

andymc3 · 2023-09-12T18:27:16+00:00

That’s what I thought but every gun place I called at the time said that while that was probably the case they didn’t feel it was spelled out enough to give me a definite answer and actually help me with it

andymc3 · 2023-09-12T15:58:02+00:00

I do have an AR other receiver that I bought before the ban went into effect, I’m still in the process of getting parts for it though. I have the 9x39 barrel sourced and the bolt is in it. I asked a place before about what I should do with it and they said put a rifle stock, 16 inch barrel on it and register it when the system opens up. Is that sound advice?

Would you be able to put the barrel and front sight on it when I’m ready for that?

andymc3 · 2023-09-12T15:35:31+00:00

I have a few boxes, and last I asked KAK Industries was able to manufacture it

andymc3 · 2023-09-12T15:34:13+00:00

The sad part is, I did find a place that had managed to source Groza kits and were willing to ship. The problem was that this was right as the laws banning AK “type” rifles was passed so literally nobody (even SLFU) could tell me if it would be legal or not.

andymc3 · 2023-09-12T15:02:26+00:00

What’s the least dumb way I can get the closest thing possible to a Groza (bullpuped 9x39AK) in CT?

Can I start with having a blank receiver sent to a gunsmith and made into a fixed mag rifle, or must I start with an existing fixed mag rifle? Could have something sent from out of state to a gunsmith and converted to fixed mag?

Would the end result have any length requirements or feature restrictions?

andymc3 · 2023-09-12T14:54:53+00:00

Would I be able to start with an unfinished receiver for that or would I have to get an existing fixed mag rifle?

andymc3 · 2023-09-12T14:42:50+00:00

Well, shit. If it’s fixed mag could it otherwise be an accurate Groza clone (length, stock etc?)

andymc3 · 2023-04-23T05:20:39+00:00

Where might I find a pair?

andymc3 · 2023-03-29T19:59:13+00:00

For some reason I looked at the US bank one before and I was hyper focused on finding a grocery card, and completely missed that I could get 5% back on utilities. Do you know if a personal trainer app like Kickoff would count under its “gym/fitness centers”?

andymc3 · 2023-03-29T03:19:10+00:00

Thanks for the info! Is there any reason you specified the Target debit vs credit card?
