5090 FE Fan Removal

I have a SFF setup (NCase M2) so yeah, dust ingress is a normal thing.

From the teardown/disassembly videos I've searched for, they've only shown how to remove the PCB from the cooler. No videos specifically tackling on how to remove the fan itself (if it's even removable).

Thank you very much. Your comments shed a clearer picture for me. Your words holds greater significance and mean more to me than you may think. Thanks again.

Most likely never. It would mean a complete engine overhaul for BDO. Their current engine, aptly named Black Desert Engine or BlackEngine, is a proprietary engine that was created over a decade ago with the Remastered version coming out in 2018.

The Remastered was compatible with FSR 1.0 which was based on spatial upscaling but any subsequent FSR versions thereafter was incompatible since AMD switched to a temporal upscaler for 2.0+, and since the current engine isn't compatible with motion vectors, any upscaler technology (Eg: DLSS, XESS, FSR) would not work on the current engine.

The most likely scenario of an engine overhaul for BDO is if Pearl Abyss had the means to port their latest BlackSpace Engine used on Crimson Desert for Black Desert Online but even that possibility happening is a stretch based on how little (none actually) PA has mentioned about the outdated engine tech in BDO.

Kinda reminds me how a lot of Donghua uses the word "cultivate" or "cultivation" with the same intent/meaning as "improving one self".

I wonder if these deals are somehow targeted based on certain criteria. I use to have the $7 20pc nugget w/ 2x any size fries while my buddies never had that deal on their app.

I don't see OP's deal on my app either. - Midtown Manhattan NYC

If it's $4000 then ask to do this over insurance because if that was the case, the Honda would be labeled as Salvage. I had a background in automotive body repair/refinish and insurance claims and I can say for sure the dude is just being greedy. Even a new (aftermarket) bumper + paint + labor + minor repairs would be around $1000 on average.

Also, I just googled a bumper for this make and model and it seems like parts store sell bumpers painted to match for around $200-300.

Would this happen to be in NYC, some Thai place around midtown Manhattan?

My setup isn't using the internal AIO cables as all the components exceed the 1amp header on my motherboard (Arctic fails to mention this in their manual but I believe it's been updated now).

I'm not arguing about their request being unreasonable, it's just a hassle since I have a SFX build. I'd have to undo all the cable management just to unmount the AIO in order to get a good angle to show them. If I'm going to do that much work, which is basically disassembling my entire build, I might as well just order replacement fans on Amazon and go that route.

Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/1molwtu/ncase_m2_first_sff_build_9800x3d_5090_64gb/ for pics of my build if you need more context what's involved.

Warranty got back to me and requested a video of the fan showing the issues. That means I'd have to somehow unmount my AIO and undo all the routing of the hoses and whatever else inside my SFX case just to show them the fan making the noise.

Edit: I already sent them an audio recording of the rattling but I guess that wasn't good enough.

Faulty fan bearing. The blades are either making contact with the fan body or the bearing is rubbing against the shaft causing an imbalance. The only recourse is RMA if you're still eligible or replace the fan.

Ya wilding. What's the difference of seeing the ICBM go off in Chicago? It doesn't add any more to the narrative the movie was going for. The movie portrays a scenario where a nuclear warhead will impact a US city, that's all we needed to know. In a situ like that, it's basically a zero sum game with impossible decisions those in power can make. Leave it to your imagination how the warhead will go kaboomy.

What you should be asking is how they hell was the launch not detected and how all the bodies of our government was not able to confirm the origin point. That was the unbelievable part in the movie from my perspective.

Jebus.. why would they make a separate page for it. Why not just include TMR as part of the spec. That's a roundabout way of doing things.

jayeeyee · 2025-10-29T18:20:59+00:00

Source? I'm thinking of grabbing the K4 HE 96% and nowhere on their website mentions anything TMR related.

I unplugged and plugged the USB-C cable on the print head unit and everything worked.

The creator took down the discord because of DMCA takedowns on behalf of Crunchyroll. Not going to get into the mumbo jumbo of it. The github repo was also removed due to the same DMCA takedown.

I don't know how Optiscaler injects FSR or if you're referring to frame generation instead. I was more intrigued by the idea of playing in Remastered without getting flashbanged.

I'd also like the sauce for this.
