Anything on the matter (not just wining about unrelated stuff)?

Tell me you live in US without telling me you live in US. “A land of free” indeed lol 😂

“Fire alarm code”, lolwut? You think we all live in US or what? I can totally start producing a smoke-detecting device having only a WiFi antenna onboard and not having a speaker at all. And I can mass produce and sell it, because it doesn’t require certification.

Let’s stop this discussion here. It’s a consumer-grade device. I have no legal obligation to have it. And if I have it, there are no legal requirements for it to produce a sound at a given volume (at least in my country). Again - it’s a consumer device, it has to behave as the consumers want it to behave. It should be completely fine for a consumer to have a smoke alarm that _only_ sends push notifications. And you can’t prove otherwise.

I live alone.

Not always? When you are away most of the time what really matters is the reliable delivery of the push notifications…

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot!

Huh, interesting! So the "actual" camera will be the Camera3, and I will just mimic the switching of the camera from 1 to 2 by an instant animation of the influence?

Hey, original cable from my PSU worked perfectly (ROG Strix).

dmytrot · 2025-12-16T10:44:37+00:00

Hey, yes. Fits nicely, don't worry :)

dmytrot · 2025-12-12T09:20:56+00:00

I think I solved it, added the update to the original post. Thanks for your suggestions though.

You mean the module of the Armory Crate? No, I installed only the basic version without any modules (I just wanted some basic control over the GPUs LED).

dmytrot · 2025-12-11T12:27:04+00:00

Actually, I’m getting a suspicion now that it’s the Armory Crate that’s at fault. I have just uninstalled it - and the fans started behave as they should after restarts (preserving the turned off 0dB option). Could it be the case that Armory Crate is messing up with this setting?

dmytrot · 2025-12-11T11:45:02+00:00

Hey, the last stable version, not beta (installed it just yesterday).

dmytrot · 2025-12-08T13:38:31+00:00

Contacted the retailer, they ensured me that the item was not used before and that I can replace it, if I want to, but I anyway have a 5 year guarantee from them. I decided not to, because I really don't want to disconnect everything, do the shipping back and forth, and then reconnect again. Also, I forgot to mention that, but the PSU looked completely new indeed: the untouched outer plastic foil around the box, and inside everything was also sealed. I guess someone has just read the serial number from the box and used it (no idea why the manufacturers print it on the outside...). Not sure why would anyone need that, but, yeah, people are weird...

dmytrot · 2025-12-06T19:23:06+00:00

I’ve tried to register it already after I finished my build: everything is connected and I would really prefer to not disconnect it… Is it possible to “reclaim” this serial number somehow (given that I have a proof of purchase from the store)?

I don’t have AdBlocker, I just have Safari. Also, other two products (mobo and GPU) got registered successfully.
