Re: WIfeWillCutmyNutzOff the Third

I'm having an issue with my EKWB GPU RGB. contacted EK and they are sending me a new strip. The bummer of that is I need to remove the GPU from the system to do that which bums me out. The Blue LED is always on. Even when I go to Dark, it's always on. Here the GPU is trying to go Yellow like the RAM...

Re: WIfeWillCutmyNutzOff the Third

Also turns out that the Koolance Flow Meter controller is compatible with the Asus Flow plug. I'm happy to see that. Now I know the reading isn't correct, I and don't care that it's not "calibrated" but I know at max speed it shows 90l/m and when at the slow rate it's at 30l/m.. so with that I know ...

Re: WIfeWillCutmyNutzOff the Third

Thanks, it's my go-to benching monitor. does 1600x1200. I couldn't ask for anything better. I have a VGA to HDMI adapter so it really just works. I've thought about replacing it with a cheap 1080p screen but I've had that monitor now since 2005.. it just works... Now to report... the Rig is finally ...

Re: WIfeWillCutmyNutzOff the Third

So I ended up getting something odd with the new build as well. it looks like the temp probe that I had at the CPU block caused some sort of corrosion that was isolated to that area. I got my GPU and WB so it was time to break down the loop and put those items in there and while there I cleaned ever...

Re: What the Actual F***... Bacteria in a Glycol Loop

block and rad are copper, res is plastic and glass with a SS internal grill. The fittings are all black anodized aluminum. Can't really get copper fittings. in another forum I frequent they suggest plasticizer from the tubing, could be. I've never seen it in person. the sludge has no smell and took ...

What the Actual F***... Bacteria in a Glycol Loop

So I've migrated over to my 5800x custom cooled rig for about 2 months now. That means that my 1700x rig has been sitting powered off since... I went to power it on last night and noticed this... and happy I did... I did not power it on... 20210526_142527 (Large).jpg 20210526_142612 (Large).jpg you ...

Re: Photoshop workstation: Windows Storage Pools

it depends on your risk and fear of data loss. doing that is only hardware redundancy. if you get a virus, delete the data and clear the recycle bin, randsomware, the data is lost. I don't in mine. I have my pool set as a RAID 0 array for speed (fixed size, hardware raid set in the MB). and then my ...

Re: Photoshop workstation: Windows Storage Pools

Great questions. my thoughts... 1) Yep, good option 2) 2TB NVME's are not that expensive anymore. you can get a samsung or sabrent (my prefered manufacturers) at a decent cost. 3) Sure, but a windows file pool requires a disk to be inserted RAW (MBR/GPT). you can just do that with the ports on the M...

Re: Finally gave up and did a GPU Pre-Order

Ah, ya, I saw that one. I'm on a canadian Discord group and it's been good. I messed up the drop last week and couldn't sign in to my BB account and the 3080 I had in my cart I lost. That sign-in issue is fixed and I have all my payment shit already entered so I won't be messing that up again... I'm...
