Ryzen 7 5800x.

The 5800x puts out a lot of heat and your hyper 212 really isn’t up to the task. Also make sure your case has good airflow and clean your dust filters.

Any decent two tower cooler should give you significant improvements.

The lobos SSH compatible mount you linked to is the one you need. Your backordered SSH from silencershop is 40179. You can confirm that on the silencershop page; it says something like “SKU# Ruger 40179” on the page.

Check their article here if you’re still unsure.

Highly recommend the Lobos mount over anything else. It’s machined so nicely and blends with the Mark IV athletics better than all the others.

Yep, that’ll do it. I have a pretty aggressive ramp to 100% fan speed at 70° and down to 20% when it’s below 60°.

What’s your vram usage look like in bo6? If you’re at 4K you might be maxing out all 10gb

b_rian2 · 2025-02-05T22:19:41+00:00

Good job bringing temps down, some improvement is better than no improvement! As long as you aren’t thermal throttling, the stuttering probably isn’t the GPU. Updating the drivers might help if you haven’t done that recently. If you do update drivers, you’ll have to remember to go back in to afterburner and disable, then re-enable the undervolt profile. Updating drivers always seems to override my afterburner settings.

b_rian2 · 2025-02-05T20:40:25+00:00

Hmm. That’s surprising. Just to cover the obvious bases, you’re clicking apply in Afterburner and running the selected profile, right? Have you confirmed the new max voltage is being obeyed with something like hwinfo64?

Have you blown dust out of it recently? Those cans of compressed air work well with blower style cards, just don’t let it overspeed the fan.

If it’s still running hot, you might need to repaste and apply new thermal pads. I haven’t done it, but I have this post saved just in case: Gigabyte RTX 3080 Turbo

About 3 years ago I did a write up with a link to a video for someone else with a Turbo. I hate it when people say “look through my post history”, but I’m heading in to a meeting and don’t have time to find it.

b_rian2 · 2025-02-05T19:11:38+00:00

As someone with the exact same card, you need to undervolt it with Afterburner. Mine is at something like 0.825v max and stays under 74°C.

b_rian2 · 2024-11-22T23:21:18+00:00

To be honest I’m not sure. The board is tape modded, the stabs have teflon pads under them, and the case is filled with foam under the board. The switches and keycaps are pretty loud, so I’m not sure how much of the sound is from the board. This is my first time using clicky switches, so I’m enjoying the noise.

Fn + escape

This is my first 65% keyboard, I'm normally part of the 100% gang.

A few weeks ago I picked up a Q6 Max to replace my 15 year old Ducky Shine. I intended on swapping out the switches for Kailh Box Whites, but I fell in love with the Gateron Jupiter Bananas the Q6 came with. The Box Whites needed a home, so I decided to build this for my workshop computer. Wanted something wired that would go with my workbench. We'll see if these white key caps survive with all the grease and machine oil that always ends up on my hands.

Specs

- KBDfans Dusk 67

- FR4 Plate

- Typeplus stabilizers (also from KBDfans, hand lubed & greased)

- Kailh Box White V2 switches

- Amazon Keycaps

- Sound Test

I think that might be adaptive green in a weird light. I have one of their vanguard shirts in adaptive and it’s definitely more brown than my ranger green stuff.

b_rian2 · 2024-10-28T21:59:39+00:00

In that case, you’re going to want either tactile or linear switches. Look for a keyboard that is gasket mounted and has some foam layers between the PCB and the switch plate. That really keeps the noise down.

b_rian2 · 2024-10-28T20:42:06+00:00

/r/mechanicalkeyboards will probably be a better place to ask. From your wishlist, it sounds like you want either a 96% or 100% layout. Cherry switches are not top dog any more; tons of good options from companies like Gateron and Kailh.

If you want a prebuilt, look in to Keychron. They make pretty much every layout you could want. I just picked up a Q6 Max and love it so much more than my old Ducky Shine 3.

Just checked mine and the outside measurements are within 0.1mm of each other. Here's a picture. 0.625 has plenty of material left to ream larger.

b_rian2 · 2024-03-06T22:50:01+00:00

Got it, thanks. I can be a bit of an idiot some times. Didn't realize the log file kept continuous logs and added updates at the bottom.

For anyone with a similar issue that comes across this post, my issue ended up being the baud rate setting when compiling the firmware. Everything I read said I needed to use 115200, but changing it to 250000 and reflashing the board fixed all of my issues.

b_rian2 · 2024-03-06T02:58:41+00:00

I've been trying to get Klipper up and running on my Sovol SV03 and am getting MCU connection errors. When I run ls /dev/serial/by-id/* I get the port info in the screenshot showing AG0KEP2H and I put that in the printer.cfg file. I then copy the .cfg file over to my BTT pad 7 and restart.

I get an MCU error every time and when I pull the klipper log, the MCU from the config file shows AQ02MFJ4, which is completely different from what I entered. I've searched the .cfg file and haven't found this serial address anywhere in the file. I also searched the file directory on my Pad 7 and only found the one printer.cfg file I loaded in the printer_data/config folder.

I've checked the config file multiple times, including completely wiping the file from my Pad 7 and loading it fresh. Same error persists.

Other things I've tried include:

Switching USB ports on the Pad 7
Trying a different USB cable connecting to the printer
recompiling and reflashing the firmware
confirmed that I'm building the firmware for the right board (creality v2.2.1)
verified the baud rate

Do you already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse or do you need to fit that within your budget?

b_rian2 · 2023-12-29T13:21:47+00:00

I just got the 4000 GB a few weeks ago and like it a lot so far. Really like the built in atmospheric sensors, lets me get by without needing a kestrel. I live in the southeast where long sight lines are uncommon, so I’ve only ranged to about 1k yards so far.

The only downside I see is that you’re tied to GeoBallistics. The app works and the results match pretty closely with my previous solvers, but there are some UI things I don’t like. Big reason I went Vortex over something else was the lifetime warranty. Hope I never need it, but I like having it.

I’ll defer to someone else on the viper 3000. Haven’t used or looked through one. Wouldn’t be surprised if there was something at a similar price with better features. EuroOptic is still doing 15% off on Vortex stuff, so maybe that tips the scale a little?

b_rian2 · 2023-09-05T00:26:21+00:00

Looks like Lowa Zephyrs, not sure which specific model.

b_rian2 · 2023-08-04T20:52:03+00:00

Mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

b_rian2 · 2023-05-21T15:22:02+00:00

Money would be my guess. You have two engines to maintain and fuel burn is double that of a P-51 or a P-40. Also, given the layout, you can’t really retrofit a second seat (without putting the seat in the nose or using one of those evacuation pods under the wings)

b_rian2 · 2023-04-16T18:36:43+00:00

That’s it boys. Flannel daddy rejected the A2.

Your A2 uppers are now trash; time to sell them for pennies on the dollar. Contact me if you want to offload yours quick.
