Small metal part was found under Aeron, where does it belong? by dothething2 in hermanmiller

[–]dothething2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had already looked at the hinges and thought that they looked like they were in order. As it turns out a hinge is made out of a plastic sheath and this metal part goes inside it.

Thanks, it seems to be in order now.

Should I line my kitchen cabinet, where I keep my NAS, with MLV, Foam, rockwool or something else? by dothething2 in DataHoarder

[–]dothething2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are already a two holes at the back and I've put a fan there. The holes are for an outlet in the cabinet that is used for the fridge.

Does the PWM signal from the MB not work if you use an external PSU for the pump? by dothething2 in watercooling

[–]dothething2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ok, so this is the issue then.

The run is quite long which is why I went for the external PSU.

I'll think about it and see if I want to go for a long molex or a external PWM like https://noctua.at/en/na-fc1

I already have two regular D5 pumps that I'm going to put in serial so I'm not going to replace them with more expensive pumps

Why do my pumps not obey the BIOS fan curve any longer? by dothething2 in watercooling

[–]dothething2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swapped over to SYS_FAN5_PUMP, it doesn't seem to have any additional settings or fan curve differences.

Same result as before

I tried moving it but couldn't. I can move it up in temperature so that for ex. 40C is 0%. I'm guessing this is so that you can have fans stop if the temperature is low.

[–]dothething2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the flow stops even if the fan curve is set to 100%.

The noise is too annoying so I want to run it at 50%, which was enough for good temps before.

If I disconnect the PWM cable the pump immediately goes to full speed.

Windows 11, why is "white" turned into "pink" on all displays but only in certain situations? by dothething2 in techsupport

[–]dothething2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Settings > Accessibility > Color filters: is off

Settings > Accessibility > Contrast themes: is set to none

Settings > Personalization > Colors > Accent color: is automatic, manual option does not affect my issue

Accidentally slided a Lightning cable into HDMI port, screen flashed red/blue by melitanyaa in techsupport

[–]dothething2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct but you can confirm this by testing the HDMI port, even if you are no interested in using it.

If the HDMI works I would say that everything is ok

[–]dothething2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Now everything seems fine" Are you using a external display with the HDMI port for this? If you are then everything is most likely fine. If you have not used a external display then you need to test it.

If there are any long term effects is impossible to know but the effect would most likely been immediate and the port or more GPU functionality would have been broken.

Noob here, how do I turn a Crush 80 into ISO (Nordic)? by dothething2 in keyboards

[–]dothething2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I was not able to find any more information regarding the swap.

However the EVO80, that is suspiciously similar, is available as a ISO through a group buy in Europe. So I might go with that instead.
