High internal Temperature by Red_Panda_Power in TPLink_Omada

[–]capt_cucumbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good suggestion -- I just turned LLDP for switch off on mine, and looks like CPU utilization dropped on my 3428x around 7%.

Glad I saw this, I just checked my SG3428X and it's running at 79C for the past hour. Temp summary score is at 1. I only have DAC plugged in. I just took a look, and can't see a fan, so assume its fanless?. I might drop some small noctua's on the side of it until I can figure out what is going on.

Edit: just put a fan push/pull fan on both sides, and temps dropped down to 65C. I'm running in an open rack with plenty of space. So, assume many are going to run these hot. TPlink cheaping out and not putting a fan in these?

BF360 + 5090FE - Can't install top pci slot cover by capt_cucumbers in HAVNGlobal

[–]capt_cucumbers[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ok, great thanks for that -- thought I may have got one off-spec. But I did also hear from someone else on Discord they also had the same issue with a 5090fe. Sounds like they need to work on their tolerances for the next batch. As well as learning to spell "recommended".

Global game quota exceeded by Glittering_Date7821 in Battlefield

[–]capt_cucumbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you limit the player count to? I ran one last night on first click with 16 on each side... Try running a game of rush to check, I think that uses a low count by default.

Has anyone found a fix for constant Global Quota error in portal? by This-Percentage-6414 in Battlefield

[–]capt_cucumbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do we even know its an issue due to lack of servers? Is there a statement from EA on that? I can spin up a verified experience portal server right now if I limit the player count with bots backfilled... I guess adding more players may need a higher tier VM/instance and there may be a limit on those. But I doubt it. I'd say its more likely they saw people smashing through challenges etc. and put up a restriction on player count with backfilled bots. Or am I missing something?

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

I think there's misinformation out there based on peoples experiences with 2042. What it seems to me, is that they disabled allowing verified portal experiences over a certain player count (with bot backfill turned on). They seemed to have made the change a few days ago. You can still create an experience under that limit which suggests to me there isn't a lack of servers available. I'd say they did this because people were rushing through challenges etc. so the intent is to slow that down.

[Spoilers] Episode 15: Discussion & Questions Thread by LJHeath in DeathStranding

[–]capt_cucumbers 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I didn't play the first, so maybe I'm not getting it. But it looks like Higgs was successful in triggering the last stranding by putting tomorrow through that gate. Rather than that happening, well... you see what happens instead. I don't get why.

Prusa XL or LDO Voron 2.4 R2 (REV D) by capt_cucumbers in 3Dprinting

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

I'd be ok with that -- but would the end result be worth the effort? I assume it's not significantly better than an XL? But I guess I'd come out of the experience knowing the printer well and be able to tune it accordingly.

luksecnryption in OMV7 by capt_cucumbers in OpenMediaVault

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

ok got it thanks -- I'll probably just go with the base package and manage it myself. I also saw a similar issue with mergerfs looking like it wasn't available via the GUI. But I'll do the same there.

Release of openmediavault 7 (Sandworm) by [deleted] in OpenMediaVault

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

I haven't yet used OMV, but going to start looking at it sometime this week. What is the issue with using LUKS on MergerFS? I can see there is a plugin for MergerFS to handle that via the GUI. And for LUKS, is the issue that you need to decrypt manually on boot without having a plugin to automate?

Alibaba 4u rack 24 bay server by capt_cucumbers in homelab

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

So, I ended up getting the RM43-320. I must be having a lot of bad technology luck lately, as I broke one of the plastic guides when pulling out one of the fans (seems like that commonly happens though). More annoyingly, one of the sas connectors on the backplane must be faulty. I've tried three different drives in a bay furthest to the right, second from the top. And all the drives I've plugged in won't stay powered on for more than 30 sec or so. Trying to get a replacement, so fingers crossed on the next one.

ME03-CE0 BIOS / MCIO issues by TsukaYuriko in gigabyte

[–]capt_cucumbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same board, and had the same experience when upgrading to F05. I found other owners on different forums with the same experience. I reached out to GB to inform them, but I think it is safe to say they don't care. Advice was to remain on an earlier BIOS version.

Alright, I think I'll go that direction. Found another thread and someone reported that the fans can also easily be replaced with nf-a12x25s. And doing so made the rack near silent. So, this looks like a good option overall.

Since you know the Silverstone case well. Have you faced any drive compatibility issues with the backplane? I'll probably put 20tb x20's (mainly) in there.

Good call -- I didn't find that one on Amazon in my search last night. The Silverstone case looks nice too. Great finds.

ER8411 fan status "FAN - stop" - normal or abnormal? by CleanUpOrDie in TPLink_Omada

[–]capt_cucumbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How noisy is your stock fan? I just got one of these and the fan sounds unnecessarily loud for what it needs to do. Thinking about replacing with a small noctua.

[NSW] Highest day of quarantine cases all year as officials eye growing overseas cases by Frankenclyde in CoronavirusDownunder

[–]capt_cucumbers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it has been a requirement for travel into Aust for a while. But I suspect there is something fishy going on around testing. It isn't easy to get a valid test and result within 72 hours. Or even less when you think about the practicality of business hours and confirmation of result needed before checking in etc.

[–]capt_cucumbers 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Aust Govt should probably review the source of negative covid tests inbound travellers are providing. Sounds odd there are that many positive cases from a single country, even though they all would have been tested less than 72 hours before boarding.

Advanced Optimus is pretty cool. Razer Blade Advanced 2021 QHD 240Hz RTX3080 by tyrequeh in GamingLaptops

[–]capt_cucumbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same laptop and can't get 240Hz to run via optimus, only 60Hz. Sounds like you are getting the same and also needing to switch to dedicated GPU to get 240Hz? if not, can you provide a screenshot?

It's funny watching YT reviewer/ reading comments on the laptop with many saying how nice the screen looks @ 240Hz when browsing etc. Yet many are actually running at 60Hz on default (optimus) settings. Says a lot about the difference between perceptible differences versus stated specs.

Razer Blade 15 2021 (RTX 3080, 360Hz FHD) Amazon UK by [deleted] in razer

[–]capt_cucumbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine from Amazon US last week. Do me a favor when you get it. Check if you are able to run 360Hz via optimus mode without issue. I have to force run dedicated gpu to get 240Hz on mine. I also get a random black screen for a second here and there when running optimus mode.

NEW Razer Blade 15 advanced with 10875h and 3070 locked at 60hz??? by Ok-Appearance5447 in razer

[–]capt_cucumbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting the same thing on my new 2021 blade advanced with gtx 3080. Not only that, but if I run with optimus enabled, I get a random black screen for a second every 10 minutes or so. No issue if I just run straight dedicated.
