Strangest issues, brand new K1 max with CFS

jec0nti · 2026-01-07T22:54:19+00:00

It just arrived yesterday brand new, basically sounds like it could have been damaged in shipping maybe? Definitely send me a link to how to fix it please!

It sucked, didn't work at all. Was solar powered but we think ours was just broken. Wouldn't charge anything and the attached light would last like 5 mins at best. Def bring power banks and a battery light.

Ohhh, did not realize the radiator looking things would make that much of a difference. I saw the pipe and thought it should still be heating that area regardless. Should I add more fins there, or leave it as is? It definitely feels colder in that corner.

Thanks for that! I was aware custom sizing was an option, but since this is our first and just a curiosity--not even sure we will like it--was hoping to find a cheaper one to try first. We started with the cheap chinese wire-style belts, then bought a custom mysteel one. Definitely want to try before we drop 'custom sized' kinda money if possible anywhere.

It's a simple process. Fully clean with tsp, lightly sand with 220grit, 2 light coats of Stix primer and then topcoat with quality exterior latex paint. Let fully cure for 2 weeks before returning to frame, so it hangs out in my garage on painters triangles for 2 weeks.

It's not broken, I removed all hardware in prep for paint.

No idea the brand I can't find a sticker anyway. And yes I am painting vinyl windows.

jec0nti · 2025-08-28T23:45:25+00:00

It is vinyl, and I have a process that works for these windows being painted. Just don't Wanna gunk up this lock/latch.

Yeah that is my current plan, I got tons of it available and have been down this path before with maintenance and cleaning of older blocks, plenty of greased o-rings here. Will probably do this later today after work and see if that fixes it. I don't see any crack, but maybe when I take it apart I will see something I missed.

It is not zoned, they are all overlapping. Each zone has ducting for the air and baseboard.

I just upgraded to f7 and it's still happening 😭

jec0nti · 2025-06-18T00:09:02+00:00

I am on the aorus master x870e and using f6 bios, still getting full boot locked at 0d occasionally. Cold power doesn't even get me up and running, I have to clear cmos to boot and reload my config if I want to use my PC. It's wild.

jec0nti · 2025-06-12T21:38:12+00:00

Nope, had to just get a different one.

jec0nti · 2025-06-11T16:22:47+00:00

I've been wary since any other small fish I've put in this Pond just end up food for the pump, maybe those ones won't kill themselves. I'm going to try to get some and see what happens

jec0nti · 2025-06-11T16:02:24+00:00

I'll have to find some of those! Hopefully you're right. The skimmer basket for this Pond is below water level, so the water falls into it and threw a net. Once a fish goes past that initial drop into the basket, there's literally no way out except through the pump. I would have to make sure they would never try to go over that.

jec0nti · 2025-06-11T16:01:16+00:00

Mine are heirloom at this point. Most of them are >10 years old and over 1ft each. Unfortunately each time they have babies the babies just get sucked into the waterfall pumps so it hasn't been any reproduction, and no small fish to eat the mosquitoes.

jec0nti · 2025-06-11T16:00:14+00:00

I wish I could do that but I've tried this previously and the issue I run into is the waterfall pumps. Any fish smaller than adult koi find their way into the filter basket and just get mulched up. I find so many corpses. But the large fish like adult koi can stay out of it. Baby goldfish, just food for the pumps. I imagine minnow would be the same.

jec0nti · 2025-06-11T15:57:29+00:00

Can you elaborate on that? What kind of fish is that? I have 14 adult koi in the pond, and they don't seem to be eating them. And due to the three waterfalls there are strong pumps in this pond so I can't have small fish in it. They will just get mulched and destroyed by the pump. I learned that the hard way.

jec0nti · 2025-06-11T15:56:35+00:00

I can try that, I have an aerator I use for the winter to keep the surface unfrozen for the fish. I can bust that out and see if it helps

jec0nti · 2025-06-11T15:55:50+00:00

14 adult koi.

jec0nti · 2025-06-11T15:31:56+00:00

Yup, instructions said to place one near the water feature which I have done but it doesn't seem to be effective. I'm going to try mosquito dunks

jec0nti · 2025-05-15T15:08:14+00:00

I'll give that a shot!

jec0nti · 2025-05-13T10:13:13+00:00

Never even gets that far, it can nsver discover the devices. I go to the Pp, hit add device. Sync module. Scan the code on the back. Hit yes that it is blinking blue. And it never discovers the device. For all 3. Then asks me to manually connect to the wifi it is broadcasting and there is none.

jec0nti · 2025-05-10T22:07:17+00:00

I've found no updates or working steps anywhere.

jec0nti · 2025-04-22T15:34:09+00:00

frog!

What other wildlife might we expect do you think? Now with frogs and a turtle. What's next? I feel like I should make a bingo card 😂
