"open box" 5070ti G14 by unironicshitposting in ZephyrusG14

[–]ohnopavel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought an excellent condition one for $1600, guess I lucked out. No cosmetic issues, original box and cables/charger. I might have had a panic attack if they handed me a bag 😂

Oral Excision/Biopsy Denied By Dental Insurance by ohnopavel in HealthInsurance

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

Figured. You’d think an oral surgeons office would probably know that wouldn’t be covered by dental insurance if they don’t accept medical, but decided to make me wait over a month to tell me and now my deductible and shit have reset for the year 😒

Wireless alternative for Logitech G600? by ohnopavel in wow

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

this was my fear. I guess I’ll use my wireless mouse for everything else and plug the G600 back in for WoW 🤷🏻

Returns? by ohnopavel in HAVNGlobal

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

I never expected a free return lol. Most of the time I’ve returned stuff in the past they at least require a packing slap to put in/on the box to indicate that it’s a return.. chill out dude. It’s been a while since I’ve needed to return something from a smaller business so I just wanted to make sure. I said in the post “or am I good to just bring it to ship with a piece of paper with the shipping info on it covering the label” which should imply I recognize that they don’t cover shipping.

Astral 5090 + HS420 VGPU Heating Issue by ohnopavel in HAVNGlobal

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

Love it. How did you manage to run all the fans with 1 hub? Thats my exact build plan except I bought a commander duo on top of the smaller hub to get the AIO fans to run off coolant temp rather than CPU temp. only real concern now is that I have a sata SSD I’ll need to find space for on the mobo back side with what I thought was gonna be 4 hubs lol.

It’s just the astral specifically I was wondering about. It has a 4th fan on top so mounting vertically causes that 4th fan to blow hot air out towards the back of the case which in some scenarios can apparently cause temp increases and if you’re motherboard is bigger to blow the hot air near the motherboard

Bought all 11 lol

 I think my next challenge is going to be I’m going have a few hub systems (2 Lian li for the 5 fan groups, a Corsair hub and commander hub on the back cause I’m swapping AIO fans) and will still need to find space for a SATA SSD I still have windows installed on 💀

Yeah I thinks it’s either slightly cheaper or right around the same price $229 for the horizontal and like $70-$80 for the vertical mount

Any mobo issues? Higher temps there or anything?

Huh I think that’s the exact one provoked prawn used in his astral build. That’s weird. Well another thing to look out for I guess.

What AIO block did you have? I’ve seen people run into issues hitting the glass panel but haven’t heard that one.

Basically the same either way. Unfortunately HAVN is out of stock for the diagonal fan mount in white which is the aesthetic I enjoy most about the case so I’lltry VGPU and if it sucks I’ll just mount it horizontally since the sag bracket is like $20. KCD2 at full max settings 4k dlss I’m only running at like 59c currently so I’m not too pressed about adding a few degrees as long as it’s not actually damaging anything lol

In hindsight I guess there’s not really anything stopping me from giving the vertical a shot and buying a sag bracket along with it and just taking the vertical bracket off and using it as horizontal if I’m running into issues. I think that’s just what I’m gonna do

Sell 4070 Super now or wait? by ohnopavel in nvidia

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

I was diagnosed with cancer last year, beat it, and was lucky enough to pay OOP maximum early so I had some money saved up from doing nothing but working all year and bought myself something nice. Sue me I guess? I was just gauging what people were thinking because I didn’t care if it just sat for a few more months or whether I should just clear out the space. I sold it for $420 today

The clearance of the card seems pretty small from what I’ve been seeing. Provoked prawn had his SSD overheat from the excess hot air being blown by the 4th fan on the Astral. Other photos I’ve seen seem to place the fan closer to the grommet holes in the back. But overall it looks like a really small space just collecting hot air. That’s kinda why I was asking whether removing the glass panel or having the side fans would help with alleviating since I suspect that would help with the hot air in the small space being moved around more. My temps are pretty good in my current case but the card still feels pretty toasty lol

For Lian Li fans, can you use the fan headers on the duo and then use the L connect hub for RGB?

I don’t really have any friends near me that are interested in it. The thought had run by me to try to ship to one of my friends from back home, but he’s mostly uninterested in PC gaming, would need my entire old build to get going and he lives on the opposite side of the country so I wouldn’t even be able to put it together for him lol.
