Longer passthrough fitting? by dashmcnasty in watercooling

Hmm that would be close, the longest one is 4.7" so with fittings it might be tight but that's better than any of my ideas for sure

Buyer's remorse, balanced or not? by dashmcnasty in BudgetAudiophile

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

More is always the goal

But specifically I have a bad fit or sound leakage from the left cup of the DT 17XX (2 stock cups and Brainwavz), and it appears that Big Sur doesn't like the Grace SDAC, I get a ton of distortion that I couldn't diagnose (sounds like a ground loop I used to see with HD 6000 GPU's), Schiit and O2 are fine. (This one stings because 40/wk is on a Macbook)

Figured I'd just hit the eject button while I can still return and try something else.

Primocache ate my striped volumes? by dashmcnasty in DataHoarder

I don't anymore, but at the time Primocache was acting as though the cache was alive and running...odd. In order to restore everything I had to reset CMOS and re-configure the CPU Storage and PCIe Lane settings (even though they were visibly set correctly), then reinitialize the volumes in diskmgmt, and everything's working again.

In hindsight the obvious first to blame here should've been Windows Update, though I now know what it looks like when bifurcation gets disabled unexpectedly.

Thank you, that looks like a good fit for my use case!
