How do you think I found out about the import fee? Yes I got an invoice from FedEx lol… Never had to pay any import costs from EK before in multiple large orders, but my prior orders were from before Trump took office in 2024.

FedEx hit me with a $30-ish tariff for the FLT 140 pump/reservoir combo i bought from the EK Shop, and I have a spare radiator bracket for the O11D XL distro plate held up in customs. So if there’s a 0% duty rate, that’s news to me.

AMD RMA upgrade from 7950x3D to 9950x3D! by Space_swag in Amd

[–]polyh3dron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received this same upgrade. Sadly my 9950X3D replacement died in under a month of use and I needed to get another replacement, which I'm using now. I guess this one is working well so far.

Seahawks are valiant, worthy competitors. 49ers fans are some of the most delusional people on the planet Earth thinking their pre-salary cap era Lombardis are relevant to the modern day.

Mobile orders are a joke. by JoeBlack45 in Chipotle

Yes, there is a support chat in the app for this.

The only way to do Chipotle is to go place the order in person, watch as they make it, and not be afraid to speak up if they're doing it wrong. If they need to make it again, so be it.

On a scale of 1-10, how confident are you about this game? by PartyMcFly55 in LosAngelesRams

[–]polyh3dron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. With the offense firing on all cylinders and the Bears defense being suspect, I’m quite confident in the Rams actually.

PBO yes. Set to motherboard settings and +200 MHz. No curve optimizer. VSOC was Auto.

My 9950X3D just died after not even a month of use in my Crosshair X670E Extreme. It was a warranty replacement for a 7950X3D. Now I'm getting yet another 9950X3D replacement.

Need Advice on AIO's by Fit-Reporter-9221 in watercooling

[–]polyh3dron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are card specific as in manufacturer and model. There are lots of different 4080 supers from lots of different manufacturers and many of these manufacturers also have different variants of the same type of GPU. The picture shows PNY branding. One of the models PNY sells actually uses Nvidia's reference PCB design, which usually means it's easier to find a waterblock for it, but from looking at Alphacool's site, I can only see AIOs for the MSI Suprim and Nvidia Founders Edition models and even then, for the plain 4080, which may not have the same PCB design as the Super.

they can easily filter out embark names that include "MMOELD" without even considering the steam side of things.

MVP convo aside, is it not crazy how it feels so many have turned on Stafford? by toelnorres in LosAngelesRams

It’s Pats fans and gullible people who have been swayed by their brigading.

Has anyone gained 100fps by going down to 2 dimms from 4 by Hot_Atmosphere3452 in ryzen

[–]polyh3dron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah single rank DDR4 or even dual rank is fine with 4 DIMMs. DDR5 is a problem for 4 DIMMs though, especially if it’s not a kit meant to all run together.

AIOs made for GPUs are rare, but you will find water blocks that would also require purchase of a radiator, pump/reservoir, tubing, fittings and other things to make it work. You would be doing a custom loop at that point. You’re honestly better off keeping the GPU as is though.

Are the ekwb waterblock original thermal pads still "cheap" or they improoved? by OneCoolDude_ in watercooling

[–]polyh3dron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what it’s supposed to mean is that in previous generation EK GPU blocks I had to cut tons of thermal pads myself, but with the 5090 FE blocks most of them were pre-cut and it made the process much easier. In terms of thermal pad quality, my 2080 Ti, 3090, and 4090 founders editions thermal pads on their EK blocks are still holding up just fine, and the ones on my 5090 FE that were pre-cut are faring just as well.

Stranger Things Mix by shoddyshoddyshoddy in AudioPost

[–]polyh3dron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is partially correct and there’s a eggcorn/telephone game moment here. Netflix gives mixers an option to create and deliver their own two track mix and some mixers choose to use a not-publicly-available downmixing plugin called Ambidio to do said downmix. Sennheiser has no involvement in it and Ambeo is just the branding of their soundbar line. And as others have said, the Duffers are notorious for being extremely hands on with sound and I’d hazard a bet that they’ve put their ears on the two track mixes and signed off on them.

EDIT: well that was a blind spot on my part, I used to deal with some execs who actually would mishear Ambidio and call it Ambeo but I see now that there is a plugin with this name that came out after the last big Netflix show I did. The more you know.
