  1. I got tired of all the half-assed attempts people have made to cherry-pick the Bungie.net API to create a "Destiny 2 API library" for node.js. I just built the entire damn thing, from scratch. It's 0 dependency, fully async, and lightening fast. I could use some help testing it before I push V1.0.0 to NPM though. Github Documentation
  2. Let's try to get the attention of LMG. I'd love to see them do one of their outlandishly expensive builds with a geo-thermal loop. They might even beat their personal OC record that they set here
  3. There are no exposed outdoor lines. The trenches are dug underneath the house and we piped everything up through the wall.
  4. It would take days for it to reach an equilibrium. We left it at full system load overnight (pics in OP). Since the system will never stay at a full load for that amount of time, I think it's safe to say that it works perfectly for his use case.
  5. You are correct, But we did considered it. We ultimately decided against it because copper pipe is incredibly difficult to protect against corrosion when buried
  6. The entire project, including building the wooden desk from scratch costs about $100. My buddy had the trenches dug before I was able to get there and help, so the REAL cost was to his back. I've been assured by him that digging trenches underneath a house is NOT easy.
  7. Has anyone done a geo-thermal loop yet? We did....
  8. So my buddy built this gaming rig back in like 2010 i7 930 6GB DDR3 (TRI channel) 1TB hdd GeForce GTX 480 He has since upgrade it to have 24GB of DDR3, a 512Gb SSD and a Radeon R9 380. Now, neither of us are swimming in cash so instead of upgrading his current PC we devised a fun little experiment. The liquid cooling loop to end all liquid cooling loops. GEO THERMAL. The plan was to dig a trench underneath his house about 3 feet deep and bury some PVC pipe. We ordered an inline-pump and put it under the house and ran the power cable up through the wall and into his computer running it off of the 12V rail of his pcs power supply. We decided to liquid cool the CPU, GPU, and North Bridge. We didn't think to take any pictures of temps before the experiment, so I have no way of proving our gains. But I have personally seen his Northbridge regularly hit 100C on air. So we dug the trenches... Ran the Pumps power cable up through the wall and into his PCs power supply. Then piped up the computer. It's an early prototype with a custom built wall mounted "desk-puter". We drove the audio system with the amp you see on the left which also runs off the 12V rail of the PSU. The fans you see are only present so that the PSU has some gentle air flow. (The two fans to the right are intake, there are two more on the left for exhaust that are not pictured) And check out these temps!!! Sub-ambient idle temps WITHOUT active cooling! (NOTE: The package temp sensor is inaccurate at this end of the temperature spectrum. 4c is likely incorrect) Full-GPU load temps (FurMark) Overnight Full system load temps with the CPU overclocked to 3.8Ghz. (The base clock on the i7 930 is 2.8Ghz and it has a locked multiplier. So we did all of our overclocking on the FSB...) I'd say that planet earth makes one hell of a heat-sync! What do you guys think?
  9. Oh I love it! It's completely customizeable, and the noise cancellation and echo reduction is better than any other chat client that I've tried. Plus, I can't say no to running my own private server.
  10. Any fans of Warframe out there? I've started on a soundpack for TeamSpeak based on Ordis sound bits. Check it out, and feel free to contribute! https://github.com/Native-Coder/TS_Ordis_Soundpack
  11. That was my first thought, but that isn't the case. After 9 hours (yes, 9 hours straight) I actually found the installer from a sketchy-as-hell looking site, but it worked! And it's the right one! Just having it installed fixed the fan issue. I don't even have to use the "Run GPU Fan Full Speed" option. Needless to say I'm throwing this file in my Google drive in case I ever need it again. lol First place I checked, those links are now dead. Thanks Asus. Here's the version that I was referencing, if anyone else ever needs it.... GPU_Tweak_Win81_64_VER105.zip
  12. I have a G751JM. I'm no longer running the OEM OS as I just upgrade to 2 Samsung Evo 850's in Raid 0. My laptop did not come with recovery media. I'm running Windows 10 The problem is that after my machine has been on for a while, the GPU fan will stop spinning and won't spool back up. My GPU temp spikes to 90C+. This typically remains the case until I reboot my machine, though occasionally the GPU fan will randomly decide to start working again. I used to have this version of GPU Tweak installed. And while it lacked options, at least it worked. And I didn't mind running my GPU fan full blast because that kept temps reasonable at around 50C. Asus Tech Support were complete Dickbutts about it and just ended chat when I brought up the original version of GPU Tweak. They directed me to buy a $50 recovery USB from a third party, and ended the chat before I could respond. I have tried every version of Gpu Tweak II and NONE of them work correctly on my machine. Does anyone out there have, or know where I can download this version of Gpu Tweak? I have been scouring the internet and can't find it anywhere. Right now all I have installed are the nVidia basics (GeForce Experience and Control Panel). No GPU Software or OC Software at all. But I did go as far as installing MSI After burner to see if It would give me some form of fan control, but had no luck there. If no one can help me get my beloved GPU Tweak back, then does anyone know of any fan control utilities that would work with this model machine? Cause I can't find any. The CPU can works fine, BTW. Only the GPU fan is acting up. And it started with this install of Windows. It almost acts like once Optimus kicks in the Intel IG the GPU fan get's disabled.
