    Dropped around 10oC on my secondary (4TB) NVME…

    I feel the fan predicament, I was going to get stuff next payday but my car decided it wants money instead. My Amazon cart has a bunch of parts for my "HP" sleeper: an M.2 screw kit (so the SSD isn't taped down), a Thermalright SI-100, and a 120mm Pure Wings 3 PWM to replace the 212 EVO fan I taped to the side of the case as an exhaust. Cooler and fan replacements are both for noise reasons over everything: the 212 fan has a bunch of motor tick and is just generally noisy all the time, and the SI-100 is more to help make it less jarring whenever the CPU gets load even though the stock cooler has absolutely no issues handling a 90W CPU.

    I ended up getting a pair of A40x20's that follow the chipset temperature for this exact purpose. My board has the SSDs stacked, and the bottom one gets quite a bit less heatsinkage than the top AND no airflow AND gets heatsoaked by the top drive and I believe the chipset as well. Threw a pair of them next to the SSDs and both of them dropped by 10C which was great for summer, since the bottom one was getting to 65-68C doing nothing which I wasn't cool with. Best part is the fans are still completely inaudible, I really love the A40x20's. Didn't think to check what temps were like when I had the AXP90-X53 temporarily in here though and now I'm super curious. Guess I'll find out when my AIO dies lmao

    Not to mention they covered the thing in epoxy which would probably make it an absolute bitch to figure out what it actually was... assuming they didn't also scrub off all the markings.

    One of the things I love about the 8TB Easystore I use for my Series X, which I'm pretty sure has an EMZZ in it, is how THONKY it is. I can feel it through my table. IMG 1233.mp4

    Thought that looked like a socket 478 cooler. Good ol' Pentium 4 action released in early 2004 from what I've gathered. We love to see it.

    SATA for consumer boards didn't really start to become commonplace until 2002-2003. Given the fact that the board in question has PCI-X that certainly puts it into workstation/server class territory of the era. I'd be curious what the model is, but that's perfectly obscured by the cable spaghetti, of course.

    Generally speaking you're not going to be able to RMA anything with coil whine unless it's truly astoundingly bad, and it's kind of a waste of time and energy to return it and buy another one because there's always the chance that the next one will be worse.
  8. flibberdipper
    Yup, that's the one and only thing I miss about my H115i and iCUE: where my AIO was cooling the CPU as well as serving as the exhaust for my entire system, I was able to have the fans ramp according to liquid temp to keep both the CPU temps in check as well as the liquid temps.
  9. flibberdipper
    I agree with this to an almost aggressive point. The fan curve for my system has the AIO (and system, though they bottom out a little higher) fans at 450RPM until 65C, then it's 650RPM all the way until 95C where I have to make them go full bore. The only thing that ramps with CPU temp is the pump speed: 800RPM until 55C, 1200 to 65, 1600 to 75, and then whatever the hell max is starting at 80. My system is functionally inaudible at idle or low load, and the loudest thing by far under load is my 2080 as well as when the PSU fan kicks on. All with no sacrifice to temps, even though I have an SFF build with essentially fully open side panels.

    I think the furthest back I've gone are twin 1266 PIII's. I don't think I posted anything from my ProSignia 165 which has a mobile PII 400.
  11. flibberdipper
    If you're like me and OC using boost tables, voltage curves, and PL1/PL2 limits, it absolutely does. Alternatively it just cuts down on power usage overall which might be handy.
  12. flibberdipper
    It's probably the route I would go. Hell, if I had a 12700K instead of my 12600KF I'd probably just disable the e-cores altogether since I'd have an extra two big boy cores/threads which would help "make up the difference" so to speak. To illustrate my point of how ass e-cores are for VMs, here's a freshly installed Xubuntu 21.10 VM booting from my MP510, with 6GB of RAM and 4 cores assigned. First part is with it using the e-cores, second part is me changing the affinity to only p-cores. And believe me, the difference with Windows guests is FAR greater. 2024-01-12 12-32-43.mp4

    Not VMWare Workstation though. If you don't disable the vmx from running on them, your VMs will be LUDICROUSLY slow. As in, a Windows XP VM will be slower than it would be on something like a Pentium II 233. I'm actually usually very annoyed with my e-cores, to the point that I really want a 7800X3D. VMs are a pain in the ass, Steam downloads are odd shit, but everything else is fine.

    It's the exact opposite where I am. Tmo was useless, especially at my house, whereas with Visible I actually didn't realize I had WiFi turned off for the first week after porting over. I'm honestly not sure if it's congestion or just iOS being funky about how it displays my connection. Either way, still works better than Tmo ever did so I'll take it.
  15. flibberdipper
    I'm honestly not sure. I know my previous carrier (MetroPCS) was kinda weird about how they worded it, and when I sat at the water it would jump from "standard" LTE to roaming and it was godawful slow. Right now I have Visible and roaming isn't nearly as much of an issue, though lately I just haven't had 5G where I normally do which is odd.
  16. flibberdipper
    Yeah the only peeps who really think about it are those of us who border Canadaland. Sometimes it can be pretty annoying bouncing to roaming just because you're like a mile from Canada.

    Yeah other than the usual Intel cooler motor whine I'm pretty happy with it. 4.4GHz/1.2v on my 6700K and with power draw in the mid-70s the cooler keeps it in the low-70s. I kinda wanna push my luck and try for 4.5 or even 4.6 lol Ironically I like the cooler from my 11400 more than the 11400 itself, it's such a power hungry whore for no reason even though I have power tuned it as much as I possibly can.
  18. flibberdipper
    "Final" upgrades for now to the "HP" sidehoe. Threw the full-black copper slug cooler from my 11400 in here since my original one finally had a plastic clip fail (and it actually tames the 6700K at 4.4GHz perfectly), as well as adding an Asus WiFi card with an 8260 so I can have Bluetooth. Only thing left I want to do is get an NZXT USB hub at some point, it'll help with cable management and will let me use the card reader again. Still can't believe how much shit I was able to shove into this thing.

    I'll always fucking LOVE the blue IntelliMouse Microsoft graced us with eons ago. I still have one, albeit a bit worse for wear, and I would love to get another one that's either in very good shape or even BNIB.
  20. flibberdipper
    VM is the only piece of software I've ever heard about that can do it. I know some motherboard audio utilities can do something similar (the ASUS Z170 board I have can), but of course depending on what you're doing and what board you have that may not even be a possibility for you.
  21. flibberdipper
    I have no experience with Voicemeeter either, I don't want to give you some incorrect advice after spending 5 seconds Googling it and have it fuck your shit up. I was really hoping VM and EAPO would play nice.
  22. flibberdipper
    That I'm actually not entirely sure about. Unfortunately I don't really have a way to come up with a similar enough setup to yours to find out, either.
  23. flibberdipper
    If I had to guess I'd say that the phone would just end up completely ignoring the wireless charging and only use the wired charger.
  24. flibberdipper
    You could give Equalizer APO a shot and see if it works. It's got a bit of a learning curve if you want to set up specific "presets," but I've had great luck with it. I use it personally to drop everything above 120Hz? by 4dB since my sub placement is absolute trash and the satellites will overpower it.
  25. flibberdipper
    Different loads draw different power, even if you're at the same utilization and clock speed. With my 2080, something like Cyberpunk will push it right up to 200w (no RT enabled), but other games might only see 170w or even 150w of power draw. Computers are weird, man.
