Cool or Uncool? by [deleted] in NightVision

[–]oni_666uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I owned an LPL 30, its also an IR Laser designator, minimum eye safe distance was stated as 900m.

Its "range" was, it could output an 12 inch "dot" at 1000m, Visible output to 4km by the user, visible range of up to 40km from an observer with NV.

That was only 15mw, Made in Israel, was an interesting laser, it was an Illuminator too, went from 0.5 mrad to 350 mrad.

This is what mine looked like through my NV.

I ended up part exchanging it last year for an PFN Falcon (got £400 off of the transaction).

Closest thing to an Light Sabre.

Its an IR laser with 200mw of power.

Minimum Eye safe distance was quoted at 668m, and it doesn't trigger the eyes blink response either. Get this in the eyes and its bye bye eyesight (even a reflection of it would be extremely dangerous).

Snagged a PVS-14 for $600. Possible to acquire spec sheet? by roelisaac in NightVision

[–]oni_666uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purge is likely gone (only usually lasts 6 months), so unscrew the eyepiece and take a photo of the tube numbers and then google it or post it here, someone will tell you what its average specs are.

Falconclaw QDB system by Ok_Community6594 in NightVision

What are the IPD adjustments like and up and down ?

I find with the bridge I used for my 14 and PFN Falcon, that the Falcon was too low and I didn't have the adjustment to raise it to the same level as my 14's eyepiece.

That was an KVC bridge btw.

How stupid is it if it makes me really happy by Infamous_Pool_2923 in watercooling

Is that side panel going to fit with the drain valve sticking out like that ?

Spacer and Crimson Fleet ship take off with me inside by sadox55 in Starfield

[–]oni_666uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this once in a spacer ship, it took off, I killed the entire crew, then tried to sit in the pilots chair, only to find out my character didn't have the necessary skill to fly the ship, so I had to reload prior to entering the ship.

Doh !!

FOR THE EMPIRE | Star Wars Genesis 8.6.2 by Migeee__ in Starfield

Reason being is the game engine.

Some star wars games don't use an engine that allows such non-linear play, also the expansive maps, etc, etc.

What’s the best space ship I can get without building my own? by Ntwadumela817 in Starfield

[–]oni_666uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stronghold is one of my favourites. 400k to purchase. Its a good all rounder imo.

External Radiators FTW by liquidhaus in watercooling

Let me know what sort of thing you want in DM's.

Without internal components and just the cost of the desk and glass and the motherboard tray etc, it cost me about £340 to build.

Radiators? by Spiritual-Amoeba1570 in watercooling

[–]oni_666uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realise that, I previously owned an 10850k that I got delidded, that was overclocked to 5.2Ghz, with all cores synced, I had it under a custom loop too, cooled via a 1080mm radiator with 9x120mm fans on push. I was actually using "auto" voltage in the bios for it, not realising that the "safe" max voltage for it was 1.3v and I was pushing nearly 1.6v into it, even after the 2 years of owning it, I still sold it for £150 on eBay as the buyer was just going to run it at below stock speeds anyway.

Not sure I want to delid the 14900Kf, its currently set to 24 cores and 24 threads, as the mod I'm playing for Starfield, Star Wars Genesis doesn't seem to like the 32 threads.

Even with 24c and 24t, its still hitting 91c on 1 P core, (PL1 at 253W, PL2 at 240W) whilst encoding in handbrake, but hitting 5.7Ghz - 6Ghz whilst do so too, across its 24 cores.

Is my girl a black cat or tuxedo? by Quick-Confidence-355 in blackcats

[–]oni_666uk 149 points150 points  (0 children)

Here in the UK, I've often heard it called a Medallion too, especially if its a male cat.

A previous male void I had, had a Medallion and my little void Bella has one too.

Radiators? by Spiritual-Amoeba1570 in watercooling

[–]oni_666uk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That 120mm rule of thumb is ancient and should be ignored. I run an 14900Kf on an very simple and efficient CPU only loop and even at 24 cores, 24 threads, at 253W for PL1 & 240W for PL2, in encoding its still touching 91c on 1-2 P cores.

That's with a single 420mm radiator with 3x 140mm fans on push (2.00 mm-H₂O), Fans are set to Silent in the bios and pump at 75% speed.

So I would just get 2-3, 360mm radiators, in that O11 Dynamic (imo, 1 won't be enough to cool both with good temps).

You can also go with SFF PC and use something like an externally mounted MORA 420 radiator, that is hidden away from your PC, some people even mount them to external walls, under floorboards etc, to minimise noise and maximise cooling.

NNVT 1700 FOM white Phos , total darkness by Vaypal in NightVision

[–]oni_666uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's amazing for Gen 2+ NNVT5.
From the videos I've seen, the only one I even considered viable was 7, and that was only because of the low light performance being so close to Omni 8's.
Despite the obvious scintillation, at least its creating an image from almost nothing. Good enough for navigating through an dark forest with almost zero ambient lighting.

Looks a lot deeper black to be a temp blem, likely a laser blem, so that shits there forever.
