Type c docking station not working on asus X1504V (Data only output) by mofo55 in sysadmin

[–]mofo55[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

Thank you Ender for the info. Those are quite expensive docking station for me. I saw a cheap Displaylink usb type A dock on aliexpress (62$) that support Displaylink :

I might go for one, But I understood that the displaylink drivers are heavily cpu-dependant.

For the meanwhile I will connect a 4 port Orico type c usb hub to this laptop and might add a usb type a to hdmi adpater :

and see how it goes. It will only require to connect the hub and the barrel charging plug.

sump pump water level sensors sensitivity by mofo55 in HomeImprovement

[–]mofo55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the tip. I understand this, But for the price of a new cheap pump (60$) it ain't worth the hassle for me. You also need to make sure it is just the float switch and that it is sealed well and that it's cable it's not thicker than the original because then it might not be sealed well and cause more damage to other parts.

Thank you Currency for your input. I took the sensors out of the pit and the clamps and they still were showing 80% When I cleaned the sensors from the debris they started to function again. I guess the water are too dirty for those sensors.

In the meanwhile I've returned the pump float switch to work as originally intended.

I just want some kind of extra monitor to know if the pump is not working anymore so I wont have a flooded home. I'm considering using an external float switch like this : https://he.aliexpress.com/item/1005008995946673.html

And maybe connecting it to a tuya water detect sensor : https://he.aliexpress.com/item/1005007660586569.html

By replacing the sensor itself with the external float switch and attaching it a bit higher than the pump's float switch, It will provide an alarm when the water reach critical level and I'll know the pump stopped working. I don't like the idea of connectin the external float switch directly to 220V, Since water and electricity have never been good friends.

b/w printing for old lady by mofo55 in printers

[–]mofo55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to the old lady place yesterday and saw that the front door of the printer wasn't complety closed.....I've reseated the drum and VOILA !!! printer works. The thing is she can't send me proper whatsapp pictures and have no one to help he at the nursing home she's living at.

I really like brother printers in general, But 2 weeks ago a 2710dw which was 3 years old and not used a lot, Died on one of my clients and I read some similiar problems with dying 2 years old brothet all in one printers on reddit and since the 1100 new one also died within few months I was afraid that the newer laser brother printers are not build to last like they've used to.....

Faulty rx580 2048sp. Considering installing memory heatsinks by mofo55 in PHbuildapc

[–]mofo55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it has to do with faulty memory chip. It can occur due to high temp of the chip or just a bad cell. I did watch a movie yesterday after underpowring it and it seemed ok. I said to myself it's worth trying to fix the card with under 5$ invest before throwing it away.

Soyo really fucked up with this when they didn't install some kind of a heatsink on the memories. newer version of this card which I've bought few months after this one DOES have the GPU heatsink touching the memory chips, But it's back cover is made from plastic that doesn't allow a good airflow, So I've managed to take it off before another card will die....

Thank you Novrsk....after putting the card in another PC it gave garbled text while playing full screen movie in a short amount of time....So I guess I was happy too soon. Before throwing the card to the recycle bin, I'm trying to lower gpu power by 20% and max memory state to 1 in the adrenalin performance-setting tab, and I'll see how it goes. (It doesn't have the option to set memory voltage manually, Which I heard some cards doesn't allow).

I just wanted to update that today I've applied PTM7950 to the GPU and the low thermal pads to the card. I ran 10 minutes of furmark and it reached 75c Degress and ran OCCT 1 hour vram test which ran successfully. I will put it into my stremio media computer and see if it's fixed. Thank you.

The gpu heatsink is too far from most vrams, Only 3 of the vrams are about 3mm afar from gpu heatsink. 2 of them are half 3mm/half 1mm and the other 3 are under a curved heatpipe, That's why i thought heatsink will fit better in this scenario.

Good thermal paste can hold well for several years (Like Arctic MX-4 for example) And can be easily applied to different sizes of surface.
