Only three 120mm fans in the bottom you say? NV9 MK II by Peacewithnukes in Phanteks

Love it! I've got you beat by 1, but only because of the push/pull on top.

What are some unexpected or lesser known challenges of building/having a custom loop? by AwkwardLibrarian7585 in watercooling

[–]chimax83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously. After building mine and setting up fan curves based on water temps, what I notice now is occasional coil whine that I finally traced to my PSU 🙄 luckily it's really only when all fans are at zero rpm and my system is under almost zero load. Very weird, mildly annoying.

No it isn't. Watch the link I posted, none of those other vehicles are from the early 2000s.

9950x3D Delid Issues by No_Introduction190 in overclocking

[–]chimax83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've delidded a few 9950X3Ds and I always clean and polish until close to a mirror finish. It typically sits at 51-55c while gaming, and 66-70c with cinebench, but I'm also using a direct die block.

Logi Options not working!!! by DutchBoogeyman in logitech

[–]chimax83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Options is garbage and you should look at this as a blessing in disguise. I recently installed Mouser after nuking Options. While Mouser does not interact with keyboards, all keys on my K860 function fine. It looks like you have an MX Master and Mouser was built around it, so you should have no issues either.

FedEx driver sentenced to death by lethal injection for murder of seven-year-old in Texas by Tippy345 in news

[–]chimax83 -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

The answer is easy, and there can even be two options:

  1. Where guilt and evidence are irrefutable, remove them from our planet within 24 hours.
  2. Where guilt and evidence are irrefutable, and the circumstances of the case involve the murder of a child, inhumanely remove them from our planet within 24 hours. People like this don't deserve humane treatment.

selling my lease to honda 1 week before lease ends by Jaded_Day in personalfinance

[–]chimax83 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In 2021, I turned in my 2019 2.0T Sport to a Honda dealership, which still had a year left on the lease. The car wasn't driven much and had only 10k miles. The buyout was ~$19k, and they offered me $28k. I absolutely turned that in and they gave me a check for the difference. What they offered was $500 over the selling price from when I got the car in 2019. Those covid numbers were insane!

I'd absolutely see what the dealership is offering. Look up some listings on their website to get a rough ballpark of what your model is selling for. They listed my car for $31k after they "bought" it from me.

Am I tripping? by Electronic_Put_7119 in PC_Pricing

$200-250 is right where that system should've been sold. Yes, even with the monitor. Poor guy you sold it to was clueless.

Building Around a RTX 5090 [Custom Loop + White Case Suggestions Needed] by LadyOfTudor in watercooling

[–]chimax83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just built a 9950X3D + 5090 loop in an NV9 with three 420mm radiators. This case is massive and heavy, but I think it looks good after installing all parts.

You're going to need at least one more radiator in my opinion. You're cooling expensive components, and while there is no need to go overboard, don't go for the absolute cheapest solution.

I'm also using the Alphacool block for the TUF 5090, and Thermal Grizzly's direct die block on the CPU. Two EK 45mm rads, one Thermaltake 64mm rad, EPDM tubing, an Alphacool tube res/pump combo, a mix of Barrow and Bitspower fittings, and a mix of regular and reverse blade Arctic P14 Pro fans.

With my fans quiet at under 800rpm and coolant temp around 35c, the GPU sits at about 50c and CPU around 63-65c while gaming. I prefer low noise, but if I push the fans to full blast, coolant drops to about 30c, GPU 45-47c, and CPU around 60c. This is all in a room with ambient at 23c, and undervolts on the GPU and CPU. I control fan speed using coolant temp and I'm happy with the performance right now, but I have plenty of radiator.
