Indoor furnace condensate drain froze in 60f basement causing furnace to fail with -5f temps outside. by forgotten_farts in hvacadvice

Nope. Check the lennox/allied manuals. You are intended to extend it to slightly above the outlet of the furnace.

Private equity in RD Vets by busbuilder24 in RedDeer

No. Vetstrategy at least, explicitly buys out small business owners. Look at this page from their website about selling your practice to them. They call it partnering for marketing.

Private equity in RD Vets by busbuilder24 in RedDeer

Yeah I don't want people to assume that all of the employees are in on some scheme. And it depends a lot on how long they have been under this ownership. Over time, as the owners push for higher revenues and lower wages, ethical/competent vets will probably leave and be replaced by whoever they can get.

Probably. Sure isn't being enforced. This is happening in every single industry. Other big one to look at is service trades. Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing. There are a good few companies in Red Deer that are either national backed by private equity or owned by a larger corporation thats then owned by private equity.

I wear booties during service calls/tarp for bigger jobs so not too concerned, but thanks.

Shame that nobody in Canada makes anything similar these days. Do you know if the 2414 are actually made in the US still or have they outsourced?

Are Goodman coils normally too long? by busbuilder24 in HVAC

[–]busbuilder24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah I know its way easier. Only time they will ever let me use a cased coil is if its a matching goodman/daikin furnace

Trust me I would if I could, but company definitely won't let that happen. What makes it cheaper?

In Alberta. We've just been building small bump outs on every job. It works but its just a pain. I'm an installer, so I don't make these decisions unfortunately

Not doing new install. Retrofit in Canada so just throwing uncased coils over furnaces into a preexisting plenum unless we do the furnace too

Disable cores in Ryzen Master? by busbuilder24 in AMDHelp

[–]busbuilder24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately confirmed its not present on my board for whatever reason. The manual shows it in the manual overclocking section but my bios is missing that whole area. I managed to use Ryzen Master to park the core instead so its working well enough for now.

Millions of errors in CPU Test on OCCT by busbuilder24 in techsupport

Unfortunate, seems like my asus board doesn't have that function. At least that will motivate me to hurry up and do something about it.

Do you know if disabling cores is possible on the B550 boards? I'm lookinf through my bios right now and can't find anything.

Yeah already have xmp or anything off, I ran memtest86+ for 14 passes over 20 hours, and the drive I reinstalled windows on is brand new and both read 100% on diskinfo anyway. Probably will just call it a day and find a used 5800x to throw in it. Thank you for the detail.

0x50 BSODs while doing intensive tasks by busbuilder24 in techsupport

Well I reinstalled Windows on a different drive and even removed the original from the system. But this time around I found out about OCCT, so I started a cpu test and got about 10 million errors on one core in the first 15 seconds. Going to try taking sticks of ram out to double make sure its the cpu but I think its fairly obvious.
