    Minsekt got a reaction from aeus in D5 PWM pump - how to speed up for testing?   
    Take a PWM fan splitter or extension cable and connect the PWM wire (the 4th pin, which is the pin a 3 pin header doesn't have) to the red 5v wire from a molex connector (do NOT use the yellow 12v molex wire!). This constant 5v is identical to the PWM signal that makes the pump run at 100%.
     
    if the pump is not connected to a fan connector its running at 60%

    Thanks Minsekt for the mod and Jidonsu for the followup.
     
    Indeed, air was the issue. I really expected the pump to just suck all the water out of the res when needed, same as the DDC, but that didn't happen.
     
    All good now though, cheers.

    UPDATE 3 - Water Cooling Gear & Case Construction

    Gear
    EK waterblocks EK SLIM Radiators (120+240) PrimoChill 1/2" fittings (combination of glossed black and matte for each department) EK Department fittings Barrow 150mm Resevoir Phobya Pump SP 120 fans (these are 10/10)
     
     
    Case Construction

    Gone from an m3 to an m4 screw. the threader just kept snapping. I might move from a button screw to something more flush aswell
    I've also finally decided it will be getting a powder coat. Interior being a gloss black whilst outside being either matte or some kind of black.

    UPDATE - More Copper runs completed!
    As you can see, everything is a tight fit but is meticulously layed out. The cable management is a surprise (yet to figure out how i'll do it - stainless steel lol) but they're will be very minimal wires. Motherboard, CPU, GPU and RAM are all arriving on Monday I hope. So hope to finish the rest of the runs then.

    Besides that, paint and cable management, I'll be done. But I'll be doing some kind of ornament or scene setter with the copper to go in the case. I saw some cool stuff on YouTube...Good Artists copy; Great artists steal - Picasso


    As mentioned, fittings are not in correct positions.

    This... this seems like the most unintuitive, most unusable desktop experience I can possibly imagine...
     
    Why would anyone want to do this, aside from the 5 minutes of novelty experience and feeling? Once that wears off, you'll realize (Oh shit, now I have to get work done... back to normal desktop).

    Minsekt got a reaction from MadPug in Is this considered very bad back light bleed?   
    ive sold mine last month becaus i got the pg348q. it was not much better than yours, all of those screens have ips glow somehow, the asus and the acer's too. ive tried both. its just like that, either accept it or wait until a new screen hits the market. ive had several acer and asus screens for testing and they all had it in either the left or right bottom corner. its kind of unacceptable to have this at the price theyre going for but its like that. you cant change it. if youre going to return it just make sure your reseller has a good return policy. they might change it once, but if the second screen is even worse youre screwed since thats officialy not a reason to rma it. if you can see it only on a black screen i wouldnt care personally. you can find problems in anything if youre looking for them...

    taking pictures exxaggerates it massively. take a video of it and make a screencap, thats how it almost looks irl. since ips glow changes from different angles its propably not that worse. ive got trough 5 pg279q's until i found a good one and almost all, even the almost perfect one looked like crap if i took a picture. id say its a decent screen and it cant get much better. if you dont notice it on a non-black screen its totally fine imho

    the problem is that it's just a simulation of you.
     
    for other people it may feel like you. But for you... You have no continuity.
     
    and from what I know we cannot approach that problem until we understand consciousness. And consciousness makes no sense to me at all, it's a really Wierd thing. It's easy to see that we are thinking machines like computers which process data. But the consciousness part is really strange. We may someday write an advanced Ai which perfectly simulates a human behavior and put it into a robot body. And for outsiders it will appear as a human. But it wouldn't actually be a consciousness, just an imitation of one. And it doesn't actually have feelings, just the simulations of them. I wouldn't even be able to explain this problem expect for the fact that everybody reading my post is a human and therefore already can relate to what I'm saying. We have to learn more about animal/human brains.

    It is this right here which is why I am awaiting and hoping for the telomeric regenerative research from Google and many other initiatives to have fruition.  The risk of being put in a robot body, dying, and having an imitation of my brain pattern, walking around and being me - is just too much of an annoyance in my mind.  I must have an immortal, regenerating body.  Metal would be nice, but too much risk.
