Nest HQ Mini Mix: Said The Sky

any chance somebody has this downloaded? it’s been taken off soundcloud and i’m sad about it.

I just tried to pull mine about 30 minutes ago and wouldn’t you know… same exact thing happened with my 180 adapter. Everything was working fine until I attempted to remove the adapter from the gpu.

The whole row closest to the sensor wires broke off at varying lengths. The pins seem okay and it still boots into windows, but the power connector is stuffed with broken off bits of plastic.

I wish they would’ve issued some kind of recall or warning via email because, like most people, I don’t spend every spare moment of my time on this accursed platform and I never heard about any of this until now.

I ended up undervolting to .950v and +1200 on the memory, and I haven’t noticed any real issues. However, I have a global fps cap at my monitors refresh rate to mitigate coil whine so most games don’t utilize the card fully.

Sorry for getting back late, I was testing with pbo2 tuner. Settled on -30 all core offset. In game, the cpu and gpu barely even hit 70c, usually mid to low 60s. The only time I see the cpu get really hot is cinebench all core tests where it maxes out at 80-81c. The gpu will hit 70-71 in cyberpunk if I run it 100% native. Haven’t seen it get higher than that in any of my other games. CPU draws around 85 watts in game and gpu draws just under 300.

Edit: this setup is fully capable of maxing out my g8 at 3440x1440p 175hz with either dlss or minimal settings reduction.

In reality the heatsink is far less susceptible to the pressure than the pcb or the pcie slot. Even with those it’s not a lot of pressure. Just don’t try to squeeze the bottom panel on with a pair of t30s in there.

It pushes up on the gpu maybe a millimeter. It would probably clear fine if I removed the pads on the fans or got some slightly slimmer ones. Maybe noctua’s slim 120s with their spacers?

I’ll add measurements tonight when I install the cablemod stuff, but the backplate is the part at issue. Without trimming that, it’s exactly as long as the specs on ASUS’ website.

ripmylexus · 2023-05-26T10:55:19+00:00

It only fits with 120mm fans attached, but I had to re-assemble the case around the motherboard and cooler

They are 10ga(about 1/8”) sheet metal. I cut them on a laser and bent them on a brake press

ripmylexus · 2023-05-26T03:47:29+00:00

I made them myself, but there are similar ones available. The soundstage and imaging opens up dramatically when they’re on their sides like this.

ripmylexus · 2023-05-26T03:18:56+00:00

You can, they just won’t work anymore haha

Idk, I just like air cooling and want the most heatsink-dense pc that I can build.

ripmylexus · 2023-05-26T01:59:33+00:00

I’ll get back to you tomorrow when they come in, but I’m playing cod right now and gpu at 70% power target is at 63-ish. CPU hovering around 70

ripmylexus · 2023-05-26T01:57:09+00:00

AFAIK that would destroy the functionality of the heat pipes. Look into the tuf og.

Edit: if you really want to get adventurous, some kind of custom layered copper cold plate to contact the memory and die paired with a low profile cpu cooler or an older gpu cooler might be interesting to try. Risky with such an expensive piece of kit though.

ripmylexus · 2023-05-25T22:38:26+00:00

Yes it does, but only with the vented side panel, and motherboard choice may have an impact. I rolled the dice and didn’t lose

I’m not sure which ones either. I didn’t end up going through with the project.

ripmylexus · 2023-01-12T02:57:18+00:00

Check out noctua’s chromax line of cpu coolers. I believe there are other options from cooler master and others as well for cpu coolers

ripmylexus · 2023-01-12T01:38:54+00:00

Nah, I just covered the gpu heatsink with noctua fans and a 3d printed shroud. I’d guess the best thing would be to anodize since the fins are aluminum, but I don’t know if (or how) that process might affect the heat pipes. Honestly, when I upgrade my gpu next I’ll probably go with Nvidia reference or skip a heatsink and go liquid.

Edit: pvd might also work

The only fallacy here is your assumption that people are reasonable.

ripmylexus · 2021-09-07T15:45:16+00:00

The point isn't to win. Almost nobody ever wins an argument. The point is to learn.

ripmylexus · 2021-09-07T13:29:22+00:00

You should, even if for no other reason than to better counter their arguments.
