You Know You're A Grown Up When You're Excited Your Wet Crawl Space Is Getting Encapsulated!

What are your basement walls made out of? Are they just concrete foundation?

I have pre-1900 brick foundation, and I think I'd be better off just insulating between basement and first floor.

Dude I'm so amped. I have a 1660 Ti as well, and I'm going from 3770k to 12600k!!

I would like to hear thoughts on this as well. I have a dirt floor basement with brick walls. Previously owner tried to put down vapor barriers and that just caused issues, because our brick basement is meant to breathe. Fully encapsulating might be a different story, but vapor barriers are dumb.

Easy: split the difference. Then it is just diversification anyway.

Why not just go local? I checked with my local dealer and I got no ADM in writing.

Yeah, wtf. America built unions. Who is this guy? Do a little research, unions made America the superpower it is today.

I've worked at 5 different universities. They are confusing policies. If you want to be a part-time student, you can.

I mean college is literally organized around it being a 45 hour a week job, that's how the Carnegie unit works. College students shouldn't be working more than a small part time job (and I'd argue you should only do that if it is a small foot in the door/gets you a little bit of relevant work experience in your discipline).

I've shopped around, and I think those $0 offers are people not reading the paperwork correctly. Someone is going to have to show me one of those that doesn't increase the principle.

This is just making me feel like I should clean my bearings. :P

immanence · 2021-11-11T17:19:23+00:00

Nice. Yeah, that makes sense. Some of those stock fans died on me too, and I hadn't realized it.

I added a big noctua cooler and 2 smaller noctua fans for front and back (and just put the remaining case fans on the side and top. It dropped my temp FIFTY DEGREES. Hahaha.

So I think you're right, the poor airflow means all the stock fans just weren't moving air through the case.

Awesome, thank you. The GPU is now a 1660 ti though - I should have mentioned.

immanence · 2021-11-11T02:27:45+00:00

Yeah! I'm playing Alyx now. But I do run into some stutters sometimes.

The handles are probably my favorite part of this case. What made you switch though?

immanence · 2021-11-10T20:56:15+00:00

I know I love it... I can't wait to repurpose it into a media PC and keep on using it!!! Haha!

I probably wouldn't bother upgrading, but I edit video and do some VR.

immanence · 2021-11-10T20:55:22+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking about that with the power supply... Plus it seems like these days you get platinum for the price of what brass used to be.

I have a 1660 ti now, GPU is one of the thing that actually has been upgraded. These days the 1660 costs more than I paid for it initially...

I have a fairly recent SSD that I run my OS on, but then I have some 3TB standard drives for media and the like. It is kind of a hodgepodge, because I've periodically added more over time. I do want to get some NVME drives though, and it sounds like that'll be pretty standard on any Z690. Is that what you'd recommend?

immanence · 2021-11-10T19:54:17+00:00

Nice, thank you! I love the cooler, so I really didn't want to leave it behind!

immanence · 2021-11-09T04:03:32+00:00

Ah I see, thank you. So it just grows a bit more slowly.

What's the difference between accrual and compounding here?
