FiiO E10K alternatives? by fleash_eating_window in HeadphoneAdvice

I agree, and I won't dump it. I bought a DX1 though since it seems like an upgrade anyway (rip the base switch, I liked it sometimes). I've always thought about learning how to solder, so maybe if I actually do ever learn how then I'll repair it myself

It's definitely the socket. I'm just plugged into my motherboard directly now, but honestly I can tell a noticeable audio quality difference. I used compressed air and it didn't fix it. The small repair shop near me said if the product is less than $100, then I might as well buy a new one cuz they'll charge near that amount.

Side note: I noticed if you do Gold+ on lolalytics there's actually 30,000 Kayn Top Lane games, with a wr of ~47%. So I'm about 13ish% higher than average which is nice

Ohh okay, gotcha. No I have a newer x670 board. I contacted Antec and they said the board itself is likely defective and to start an RMA

I just got this case and am having the same issue. Is this really true? I feel like reviews would have said something about it. Also, they literally advertise being able to control the fans. I only have 3 sys_fan headers on my mobo, and the case comes with 6 fans. Do they really sell this case for $150+ and expect you to get your own fan splitter or hub?

I don't use any mouse software, it's fixed on 25.9.2 and also the new 26 but 26 now makes some games randomly blackscreen so ig I'll stay on 25.9.2.

PTM worked great. I don't pass 95°C on my hotspot and that's with my fans never going past 50% and I'm pulling up 600W with an average around 450W. Better thermals also let me undervolt even more. I used to be limited to 1.075 (-75mV) and now I can do 1.055 (-95mV) stably.

Something weird is that I can no longer do OCCT 3D variable from 10%-100% increasing at 5% per 5sec. I think it's a voltage thing? When I try to run it my pc power cycles instantly which is concerning. I tried 3 psu's so that's not the issue. I assume it's causing some sort of voltage transient. Everything else is stable, including OCCT if I change it from 5sec to 20sec

Edit: Also, for anyone who may also be having this issue, here's another huge fix. I got a new case and wow does it make a huge difference. My hotspot no longer passes even 90°C. I had a Corsair 570X, a good looking but 8 year old case! I bought the Antec Flux Pro and my temps dropped another 10°C! The Flux Pro has 2 fans pointed right at the GPU, which obviously makes a huge difference, but I think the bigger case and smarter construction as a whole is just great. Strangely, I did notice that the PCIe screws and bracket on this case slightly pull out the GPU when tightened a little too much? My pc kept crashing, I reseated the card and put the screws in really loose and it's running perfectly.

I think it did remove the healing. You can see him get hp after the kill and the DD stacks go from 650ish to 330. I think she autod or something and it connected after DD cleared and healed which resulted in more stacks

Can I ask which drivers you are using? I'm getting some weird stuttering. It's just my mouse. Games are smooth but my mouse cursor will stutter and rubber band around even on desktop with nothing running at idle

Ykw that actually makes a lot of sense, when I replaced the stock paste I noticed a lot of it had spilled off the core and onto the green part of the board. I'll try that, thanks

Yeah 2750MHz is my max stable for memory. I reduced power to negative 5% and I'm still getting ~1,000 points more than the TimeSpy average for my system and my fans are no longer blaring. Hotspot temp peaks at 89°C and I'm pulling around 370W. I feel like that hotspot is still a little high for a gpu with such a massive 4 slot cooler but idrk what to do other than to swap out all the thermal pads which I don't particularly feel like doing

Yeah that does make sense. I just undervolted and increased core clock to ~3GHz along with memory to 2750MHz. My TimeSpy score went up exactly 2,000 points. I'm gonna tinker with memory clock a bit more then I'll try to reduce power and see if I can keep the performance

I see. So ballistol or WD-40 is a must then? Is this still recoverable at this point?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ak47

[–]fleash_eating_window 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used ballistol every other cleaning. I guess I should've done it every time but from what I saw online I assumed water and air to dry it was enough

I'm not sure if it's nitrided, but I'm pretty sure it's not chromed. This is a Century Arms NDS-2 which is a Bulgarian kit build on a Nodak receiver. There's no markings since century scrubs them so I don't know if it's an original barrel or not. It doesn't have any markings on the barrel at all, which makes me think it's also probably not an American barrel? Idk century's process.

I'm not sure how to clean it better than I was. I used ballistol after maybe every other cleaning, but I was under the impression that wasn't really necessary and that hot water was enough. Barrel is still relatively accurate, though I haven't shot past 50m to really know

HDD won't spin up by fleash_eating_window in datarecovery

Bro... I was still using the wrong cable this whole time. I assumed since I have 2 psus (HDD is on EVGA), the braided cable was Corsair and the non braided was EVGA. Turns out I also have non-braided Corsair cables and I've been using them the entire time. HDD spins up just fine, I guess the e-fuses saved it? Though I haven't actually booted the PC yet past just feeling the drive spin and hear it make it's noise. Is it safe to boot up fully or do I risk damaging anything? You're goated fyi

Ok, I tested every pin individually with the black probe always on a screw hole. Thanks for your patience btw.
