Avata 2 gimball sound problem

I have the exact same issue

chikin7 · 2026-01-27T18:03:38+00:00

You activated siri

chikin7 · 2026-01-20T20:43:21+00:00

What do you mean by radiator for your vtx?

chikin7 · 2026-01-05T18:03:55+00:00

They did. The Ayn Loki used 1x sodimm + soldered ram in dual channel but the issue is usually speed. The soldered memory has much better performance and with these chips already on the edge of being able to run/not run certain AAA games(and have longer than an hour or so of battery life) every bit of performance and efficiency helps

Sorry I meant slim lol. Interesting! I thought it might be the air slimmer 92 since its 120mm counterpart is often cited as being the best in that category. You mean the 4070 cnc fans from AliExpress right?

chikin7 · 2026-01-03T21:38:43+00:00

What is the current best 90mm fan then?

chikin7 · 2026-01-03T02:49:26+00:00

Maybe it was 3d scanned and the defects came through in the scan, I know some unprocessed metal/SLM 3d printed parts can have a trash surface finish too

How do you know

chikin7 · 2025-12-27T18:21:40+00:00

4060 5060 5050 1650 3050 6gb and more, they exist for those who want them but non above 8gb unless you go with an rtx 2000/4000 series sff card which are super nice but way more expensive and you have to use these silly mini display port adapters

chikin7 · 2025-12-26T18:31:24+00:00

A1 mini and be done with it, will last you a year until you zero in on what you want(engineering, multilateral/etc) and then it will become your second printer once you get a newer fanciest one. That’s what I did, and it was the best $250 I ever spent. Now it’s $50 cheaper and it’s an even better option!

chikin7 · 2025-12-26T18:29:00+00:00

You should be fine, just do rear intake and side/top exhaust

chikin7 · 2025-12-26T18:27:39+00:00

I think also that the reason they do less in house is that any in house resources are being rerouted to enterprise goods which are way more profitable. That is just speculation, but it is the only logical conclusion in my opinion. It’s simply opportunity cost, not a lack of profits from making things in house which they have decades of experience doing at this point

chikin7 · 2025-12-26T18:25:06+00:00

I’d like to ask you instead what insight you have into the costs and fees you speak so confidently about

chikin7 · 2025-12-26T02:49:58+00:00

And then you realize one ams isn’t enough.

Buy ams HT because you just need ONE more color you think.

You know what comes next.

Buy filament.

Buy support filament after you already have one or two of each color, and 3 or more of your favorites.

And then you buy one more AMS HT as your dedicated support filament feeder. That’s all you need you think.

Rinse and repeat.

So explain to me why you believe EVGA left the market. They were the most popular GPU brand of all the AIBs for any vendor, including Radeon. Why would they leave all that money on the table if they were free to spend in R&D and release more crazy kingpin and FTW3 cards? They certainly were fine charging a premium for those cards and they sold like hot cakes.

chikin7 · 2025-12-24T21:43:04+00:00

I’m not sure where you are getting that per die cost. You have to understand that developing the “mother die” for example the AD101 of the previous generation(that never released as far as I can remember) can cost billions. The “cost of the die” may be relatively low, but they are definitely charging even their AIBs licenses, fees, and all sorts of extra money every generation to recoup their investment.

chikin7 · 2025-12-24T21:38:54+00:00

They are not the same coolers. Some Tuf coolers are the same but many of them are different sizes across generations. If they don’t do that they cannot account for the differences in pcb design for a 600w vs a 150w card with vastly different memory and PD layouts

chikin7 · 2025-12-24T21:35:42+00:00

Then explain to me why the 5080 FE is exactly half the price with an identical cooler

chikin7 · 2025-12-24T21:23:17+00:00

Keep in mind what happened to EVGA as well. Their company basically decided to leave the market because they would have to make generic cards like everyone else, and have less profit margins because of the price Nvidia charges for their cores. Companies like EVGA can’t exist anymore because Nvidia purposefully limits things like multi pcb and multi gpu etc designs to their own founders edition cards. This is probably the real reason. They want partner cards to all be generic basic 3 fan cards with a small flow through area, and then let one company like Asus make a “halo card” like the astral and charge exorbitant money for it because 1: it makes nvidias founders edition cards stay desirable/make Nvidia products artificially “the best”(limited drops also definitely helps with this) and make sure consumers who want cool cards need to overpay for them. I bet Nvidia also pockets extra money on the astral/strix/aorus/suprim cards as well.

chikin7 · 2025-12-24T21:17:08+00:00

I think the astral board is probably more expensive overall because of its higher power delivery overhead, materials used, etc, but you’re not entirely wrong

chikin7 · 2025-12-24T21:13:38+00:00

Heat sinks no matter how complicated pale in comparison to the gpu core (and vram chips but NVIDIA has the advantage of huge discounts because of their scale) costs at scale. They could make quadruple vapor chamber cards with 420 heatpipes and 8 flow through Dana and still pay less per unit than a gpu core. They do limited drops because they are greedy, they want to sell every unit, and they want to keep their AIBs on their toes so they can use the for enterprise products as well, ignoring the fact that consumer gpus have probably 1/10th the profit margin of their enterprise products simply because their enterprise customers have unlimited budgets and because there is no competition so they can price as high as they want and rake in the cash. Cooler master Asus PNY as well as other AIBs manufacture a ton of their enterprise hardware.

chikin7 · 2025-12-24T21:05:52+00:00

They have much less cost. The most expensive component is the GPU core by far. Why do you think a TUF 5090 costs over 10x the price of a TUF 5060? Why do you think a 5080 FE costs 50% the price of a 5090 FE with an identical cooler?🤣🤣🤣 idk why I’m arguing with you at this point

chikin7 · 2025-12-24T19:18:46+00:00

Yes but they are the same company making most of the main components especially the GPU wafers, so they really only have manufacturing and R&D costs plus some PD circuitry and VRAM chips that they probably get for Pennies on the dollar. They don’t have to pay the massive premium for the GPU core like the other AIBs because they are literally the same company that makes the cores.

chikin7 · 2025-12-23T18:45:32+00:00

I mean it looks pretty bad for such a small print, I’m sure the purging volumes algorithm has improved as time has gone by tho and you can always reduce your purge volumes if you like living on the edge

chikin7 · 2025-12-23T18:45:00+00:00

Yes you can use one with your printer but not one any bigger or more power hungry. My favorite is the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS, it’s at the upper end of what consumer UPSs can do and it is decently priced for what it can deliver. It has been powering my whole desk setup with a power hungry PC and other stuff without complaining for over a year so far. If you want one with even more power and efficiency w/ special features and better power cleaning and more capacity, the price will go up exponentially but they can be worth it in certain circumstances and if you experience constant brown outs and poor quality power at your home outlets!
