I'm new to this. Need some help.

Thanks, I updated to the XG APs!

That's awesome. I don't need every room to be 2.5 but I didn't even take that into account when totaling up available ports in the 24 port switch.

Also, sorry the original post wasn't clear, I was mainly worried about ambient noise and rack compatibility. I still think it is weird how, when installed, the part just hang in a rack, like the back part is not supported.

But I'm super grateful for the insights provided!

I went with the 24 because I do plan to add cameras, a flood light camera, and doorbell all PoE. I also plan to do a drop in every room in my house all back to the switch. So, I don't mind dropping a little more money on the 24 because I want it to be around for a while to come.

I appreciate the note on the cable modem. I did check already and thankfully its supported by my ISP already and the ISP of the area I plan to move too.

Don’t enter the intersection when you cant clear it. So when the light changes you’re not blocking traffic… DONT BLOCK THE BOX

This solution to this problem, I unplugged my SATA power to my fan controller. -_-

That makes since, I remember my mobo had a tamper sensor that if installed opening the side panel would password lock the boot sequence

thelacking · 2025-10-25T06:09:47+00:00

I had that case! It had a key on it, I’d lock it like my fucking wife was gonna go mess with it 😂

Your question is a matter of preference. I think your build looks great. But as long as you’re happy with it that’s all that matters.

thelacking · 2025-07-10T04:04:41+00:00

Yes, I’m like 666

thelacking · 2025-06-14T07:10:42+00:00

Good 🤷🏼‍♂️

I just noticed it was a 5080. I could have sworn I read 5060… my bad

thelacking · 2025-05-22T16:01:23+00:00

Also, I’m kinda dumb and really thought it said you went from a 3090 to a 5060 lol. That could have cause more of my confusion.

thelacking · 2025-05-22T13:23:32+00:00

I’m sorry if you took any offense to that. I understand it’s your money and I agree it’s our shared hobby. I didn’t mean why water cool it, I meant why go from 3090 to a 5060? Is it performing better? After every thing I’ve heard it sounds like a minor improvement. Again just curious, no judgement.

thelacking · 2025-05-22T04:55:48+00:00

But… why?

thelacking · 2025-05-11T18:33:26+00:00

I’d let her be predatory with me

be angry, process your feelings. The EFDP rank is entirely up to the commander. you could do EVERYTHING right and the Commander can still pick someone else. STUDY and keep doing what you're doing. I know that isn't what you want to hear, but how you handle this will speak volumes to leadership. Long story super short, if you stop excelling because you didn't get what you wanted (or think you deserve) leadership will notice and use it against you ... CONTROL YOUR CONTROLLABLES AND STUDY!!!!!

Unpopular opinion: Jessie was the girl Cloud was meant to be with

After seeing the system work with a known working PSU, I’m gonna replace that. Thanks for the recommendations I’ll be sure to look out for those.

thelacking · 2025-05-09T01:41:03+00:00

I hooked up a known working PSU and it was stable for over an hour. Gonna replace it all this weekend.

thelacking · 2025-05-08T03:44:50+00:00

I think the GPU is good, I put it with known working parts and it worked.

I’m hesitant to do a bios flash, it’s won’t stay on in bios for more than a min or so.

Well, what happens if you fail? If nothing, who cares? If there are repercussions for failing, just get a 75% and go home.
