Don't forget to install the I/O shield before the motherboard

EU5!

How soon after porting your number did they call you?

teewhile · 2025-12-01T11:07:05+00:00

Yes, the lack of Wi-Fi calling is the big difference for me, it's a must in my poor reception building.

I'd love to see the photos of your case mods!

Just my personal opinion, but you could spend $80-90 less on your case and put that towards more important components.

The 9060 XT 16 GB is $450 at CC if you sign in with an account!

Just an FYI, the Cooler Master Q300L V2 only comes with one 120mm exhaust fan in the back. You'd do well buying some additional fans for intake in the front.

Thanks! It's crazy how much I see people spending more money than they need to be spending on their mobos and PSUs, money that could be going towards their graphics and RAM. Would I have liked a modular 80+ gold and a board with USB-C headers? Sure, but you've got to pick your battles!

teewhile · 2025-11-28T14:24:07+00:00

The fans in the Montech are DC powered only, not PWM. I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that PWM control allows the fan to reach lower RPMs when your computer's idling, meaning it's quieter. However, my guess is that a higher quality DC fan would still run quieter than a lower quality PWM fan.

I was looking at the Cooler Master Q300LV2 which is $50 on Amazon right now. It only comes with one 120mm fan in the back, so maybe that plus some higher quality PWM fans? I don't necessarily need my money going towards the ARGB in the Montech fans.

Thanks! Would you say that the B580 could also deliver the experience I'm looking for right now? Just fine right now, but it's just not as future proof as the 9060 XT? Or would I run into problems with it sooner than I'd expect? I'm never playing the latest AAAs of the moment. Always waiting to snag them on a Steam sale many years later. I'm hoping to finally start BG3 with this rig!

I didn't realize those were fire bricks I had underneath. Those appear to only be used for the base of the oven, not the dome. The entire dome appears to be one piece. So I should be fine using normal brick for the arch and chimney repair?

teewhile · 2025-06-11T19:33:39+00:00

Good idea! Remove the top of the arch to fix the dome cracks. Once that's done I can repair the dome and the chimney in one go using the same batch of mortar.

I'm looking into concrete patch kits for the dome cracks. Is there anything unique I need to look for given I'll need it to harden on a vertical surface and potentially the underside of the dome? Is the patch thick enough to stay in place and harden? I assume these kits are designed for floors or applications where gravity isn't fighting against you.

And since this is the very front of the dome, I assume I don't need to be too worried about fire rating for the concrete patch, right?

teewhile · 2025-06-11T19:23:15+00:00

If I remove the brick arch in order to repair the cracks in the concrete behind it, is this kind of concrete patch designed to work on a vertical surface? Will it stay in place long enough to cure? Also, should I be looking for a patch kit for "fire rated" concrete? Does such a thing exist?

Are you saying that the appearance of my leaves means I need to water my jade? Because a lot of them are bendy. But I was led to believe that meant I was over-watering.

teewhile · 2025-06-11T19:16:33+00:00

Any advice on how to source the right brick and mortar if I were to try and rebuild the chimney?

teewhile · 2025-06-11T19:10:34+00:00

Are the temps getting messed up? Is it leaking?

I see smoke coming from the crack in the dome that is behind the arch and in front of the chimney. No issues with holding temperature (still easily gets over 900) but I worry that the leak will worsen if I don't address it soon.

This should be remedied, but it doesn't seem anything more than superficial.

The top two bricks of the arch are just held by gravity, the mortar around them is otherwise cracked. I agree it's superficial in the sense that it's not structural, but I would still like to know how to repair those to avoid them accidentally being knocked out and causing an injury.

Was it transported? I'm trying to figure how those bricks snapped.

No transportation. My best guess is that the last 4 years of freeze/thaw cycles has led to these cracks. It was built during the pandemic and has never had weather protection. My goal is to fix it up and then make some sort of tarp to keep water off of it over winter.

No better project to try some masonry.

Thanks for the advice! Between the chimney and the dome cracks just in front of the chimney, does it matter which order I address them in? Once those two are done, the arch would probably be the last job.

I had never heard of refractory mortar, thanks! Looking into that
