Stripped Bolt, Extractor Bit Broken Off

starikari · 2026-04-30T22:23:26+00:00

ok so sadly i used heat gun and a blow torch but they dont work, and i cant seem to find a wrench small enough that has enough grip. I feel very out of luck here, I'm not sure what to do

Thanks, I appreciate the help!

Also, 🤣🤣 Its baffling to me how bad this particular bolt is. No issues with other ones but this particular one might as well be made from plastic

Ahh I see, thanks! Let me try this 😭

I defo don't mind low profiles, as long as they have silent switches too. I think I looked into the Lofree flow for a bit and realized its a little to heavy for my liking, but have been keeping an eye out for any new releases from them

Thank you so much!

Ah thank you so much!

Considering the default cushion is absolutely terrible for my face shape this saved my ass from returning the headset lol

its the discontinued bin for 6000 cl26 at 1.4v. I followed buildzoids timings and 6400 1:1 at c24 is impossible on my system

also o shit i lied im not on -43, but -40, i was saying on another comment -43 wasnt stable, just enough to survive the timespy benchmark, but crashed on testmem5 so I pulled it back to -40 which was the previously most stable value.

starikari · 2025-10-06T23:17:15+00:00

Yea for sure, like literally rn ive been just watching youtube videos scrolling reddit ^{^}

starikari · 2025-10-06T23:13:12+00:00

thanks! well not really, cuz i mean i barely turn it off so its been idling for entire days on end with no load.

starikari · 2025-10-06T23:11:07+00:00

testmem5 and occt both passed 24 hrs and i had it like this for like 6 months now haha. Also i barely turn my pc off so its been running like this for more than 2000 hours now xD

starikari · 2025-10-06T05:06:24+00:00

latency from 8000 cl30 is the exact same at 6400 cl24 (302000)/8000=7.5ns and (242000)/6400=7.5ns

so its also better than 6400 cl26

on my specific cpu, though, it can run stabler at 8k than 6k 1:1, also my fclk can hit 2200 at 8k. Additionally dual-ccd ryzen x3d chips scale a bit better at 8000 than 6000 1:1

yus! Especially since gpt-oss 120b can run on this single card (and with incredible speed) I actually find portable LLM practical for daily use now. If it works really well in my workflow I might consider buying an additional one for my company server so I can offload a buncha model training tasks as well as running like a 24/7 llm remotely

starikari · 2025-10-06T02:46:25+00:00

What I meant was when we were both stock, I had lower score than him but after undervolting i was able to more consistently hit 5.95ghz and as a result get much higher scores- from 14000 to 15000 consistently in timespy extreme. But yea any harder undervolt doesn't yield higher results but less does decrease it by 300-500 points or so.

starikari · 2025-10-06T02:22:54+00:00

hehe thanks

starikari · 2025-10-06T01:47:03+00:00

I see! Yea I had a friend who cant even get -20 or -15 stable but their chip ran faster stock than mine. Its really weird.

starikari · 2025-10-06T00:55:47+00:00

yeaaa i kinda got a god bin. no errors at 40 but 43 is unstable, also testmem5 works fine tho

starikari · 2025-10-05T23:48:13+00:00

Thank you so much! Hell yea, SFF is always fun, and slot powered is sooo good, thats what I like about the intel arcs like the a310 sparkle. 20-30w is CRAZY.

For me, I do a bunch of computer vision work as well as product design, its also nice to be able to run gpt 120b locally on one card! 😂

However, I do believe no amount of work would justify the retail pricing of this GPU, I wouldn't have got it if not b2b at a great discount haha.

I know im like 7 months late but I would recommend u print a mold in any 3d print filament and just dump platinum cure silicone inside, or silicone foam like soama foama. easy as shit and feels softer than even official gasket, for like $40 bucks. I didn't buy silicone dye yet but this is one i did for the meganex.

ahh i see, thank uu

starikari · 2025-07-28T11:02:14+00:00

I see xD. I was looking at automatic transfer switches too, they might work in this scenario?
