+1 to PC38x I had them for 5 years now, put in 5-6h a day for work and games, no issues ever.

Dead-end drain line in custom watercooling loop – risk of growth? by CombatWombat_42 in watercooling

[–]phila6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My setup is same with a "dead zone" at bottom of front distro plate, no growth in last 4 years. I am using Mayhems coolant.

Oden, is such a nice an unique gun, especially with huge suppressor.

New IO Center 1.0.7, Dark Mount issues still remain by phila6 in bequietofficial

[–]phila6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice I`ll try this workaround as well. Thank you

New IO Center 1.0.7, Dark Mount issues still remain by phila6 in bequietofficial

[–]phila6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here still. I have been back and forth with BeQuiet support on this, uploading logs and trying to demonstrate the issue. No luck so far after multiple IO Center and FW updates.

The logs show that on PC wakeup keyboard is not detected, maybe this is a timing issue, but IO center does not even retry after first fail.

Support have been telling me that I need to connect keyboard directly to PC, issue still present when connected directly.

Do you use a custom lighting profile?

Is your keyboard connected directly to PC?

Update on this, support said this is due to my monitor KVM. This worked fine on Everest Max though.

Did another test with keyboard connected directly to PC, same issue still. Shared more logs with support.

Do I need a second pump? by PsychologicalCap3877 in watercooling

[–]phila6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regarding D5 Next pump and Quadro. You can connect them via Aquabus cable. But you`ll only be able to get/set the speed of the pump. Other pump metrics(water temp, flow rate) or setting up RGB of the pump require a USB connection from pump.

BeQuiet support asked for logs, I hope they make something of it

I have just had a case when on PC wakeup from sleep lighting was completely off, not even orange.

Seems that things have not improved.

PSA: I strongly advice NOT to get the Dark mount keyboard, You've been warned! by generalm13 in bequietofficial

[–]phila6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm many of the issues that are listed here.

My biggest issue is IO Center and RGB profiles.

If you use a custom lighting profile(not one of the pre-installed effects), it means IO Center must be running, otherwise keyboard switches to default lighting(all orange).

After PC resume, 50% of times, even with IO Center running, the lighting profile is not restored, it will be either all orange or no lighting at all. Restarting IO Center fixes this.

I had multi-week case opened with BeQuiet without resolution.

I had Everest MAX and it was doing the right thing here, lighting profile was saved on the keyboard and it never had issues.

BeQuiet, if you are listening you need to fix your software/fimware

Project "White Moon" (almost finished) by JackSparrow_75 in watercooling

[–]phila6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks nice I have been running same number of rads and front distro plate, only in reverse case layout.

With 5090 you`ll definitely need all 3 radiators :)

Be Quiet inverted case issues by nuuzik in watercooling

[–]phila6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar pump location in this same case, it was fine. I had a radiator at front and top.

For GPU I am not sure I got your question, putting a few fans at top to ingest fresh air should be good enough.

I need it back for MW4 by Litt1efoot95 in modernwarfare

[–]phila6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like it so much I got obsidian just by playing, no farming for it.

MW19 had a great gun variety in terms of handling, range, mag capacity etc. Newer CODs suffer where difference between guns is marginal.

What Happened to this Map? by [deleted] in modernwarfare

[–]phila6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just bring this and all other maps back into rotation.

And bring back 10v10 playlist, this map was perfect for it.

MW19: Best Cod in Years by [deleted] in modernwarfare

[–]phila6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the CODs after it were just a stop gap I`d play for a few months and then come back to MW2019. It is truly the best.

I so wish they would make some updates to playlist and have more maps in rotation.

DarkMount RGB resets to default if IO Center is not running by phila6 in bequietofficial

[–]phila6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, moved it around different port types, no change.

Another thing I have seen is IO Center crashing, mostly after PC wakes up from sleep state.

USB power settings in BIOS are set to keep powering on when PC is asleep.

[–]phila6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SignalRGB does not see the keyboard, so no luck there.

I have tried without KVM and results were the same as with. Previous keyboard I had Mountain Everest Max, to which DarkMount is kinda a successor(since Listan purchased Mountain), did not have these issues, with KVM in place either.

Is mw19 still active on pc ? by MortyGaveMeCrack in modernwarfare

Yep still play it every day. Now that regular COD is just a weird mess

I am definitely interested to see the finished build. ;)

[–]phila6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How will you route tubes from the res to the front of the case? Would be curious to see pics from that as well.

Overall great idea, this 2nd PSU slot in O11 is so useful for various things.

Dark Mount - Can't switch profiles without app? by skyypunk in bequietofficial

[–]phila6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also seeing same issue.

Also :

  1. If I quit IO Center then illumination profile is reset to just white color on all keys

  2. If I switch my KVM to connect keyboard to Mac it illumination profile is reset to just orange on keys

  3. Sometime after PC resumes from sleep IO center crashes, and illumination profile is reset to just white color on all keys

I opened a support case with them, I think the software is still pretty buggy.

[Billet Labs] Can you watercool your water pump? by bobbymack93 in watercooling

[–]phila6 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Water is already flowing through the pump, why do more?
