  1. Thanks for the response! The thing with Nest is that it's supposed to take into account the current indoor temp, outdoor temp, etc. to calculate how early it needs to start heating, and it also modulates the temperature of the water going through my convectors. So when it needs to heat a lot, it will go up to 75C. When it's reached the requested temperature, it will lower to 30C for example. Looking back at this, this might be the reason it starts too soon. Could be that it thinks it needs to heat a lot and the burner is at 35-40C since it's not doing much, but then turns up the burner to 75C, which of course heats it quite fast. I don't think there is a way to recreate such a system with home assistant.
  2. Hello, A few months back, I installed a Nest Learning Thermostat in my appartment. I turned on true radient since it seemed nice to have the home warmed up or at least already warming up when i get back from work. I have set the schedule to be 21,5C at 5pm, however now I've started noticing that it starts preheating at 12pm (noon). This seems way too early since it reaches the 21,5C at around 2.30pm. This seems like a big gas waste to me. I tried turning the max preheat hours down to 2, 1 and 0 but I read that only has an effect during nighttime. Has anyone else been experiencing this? What are my options? I am thinking the following: - Turn off Radient Heating and just schedule it to 21,5C at e.g. 4pm (an hour before I get home). However this doesn't seem logical since heating in winter and summer takes longer/shorter. - Resetting the nest to (re)learn how long it takes to heat up? Any other options/ideas/fixes? Thanks in advance!
  3. Yea, the motherboard requires an 8-pin connector. So until I have that converter, I can't use my new psu.
  4. Okay, guess I'll wait for the converter cable thanks!
  5. aha, would it be dangerous to try? Could it harm the card?
  6. The system won't boot? Or the gpu won't work?
  7. Hello, I'm currently building a dell optiplex 9020MT and I have a Gigabyte GTX 970 ITX as a gpu. This gpu has an 8-pin connector. I do have a new power supply that has such a connector, however I can't use this power supply because I'm waiting on the 24-pin to 8-pin converter cable from Moddiy (for the motherboard). Meaning that I'm stuck with the stock 290W power supply for now. Would it be possible to run the GTX 970 without the pci-e cables? (at lower performance?) Or is it worth a try? My main concern is, is it dangerous for the card to be under-powered and can it get damaged?
  8. Ah, not sure then! Both NZXT and that other case look pretty slick though!
  9. Okay, if you intend on using that power supply, you'll want to check if the gpu has a 6-pin connector. As your power supply will currently not support more than 6 pins. I know that some gtx 970's have 6 pins (like mine, gigabyte gtx 970 ITX), not sure about other gpu's, but that's something you'll want to look at. If you get a new power supply (which I would honestly recommend), that probably won't be an issue since it will most likely have plenty of pci-e connectors.
  10. If you don't really care that the heat sink isn't painted, I'd recommend the be quiet! Pure Rock. If you do, the be quiet! Dark Rock Slim would also be a really good option! Those 2 will be super quiet, almost silent really. The cooler master Hyper 212 is a very popular choice aswell, but I don't really know about its noise levels.
  11. That's a pity. From what country will you be buying your parts?
  12. Or get a server and select Crazy Craft as a server type: https://apexminecrafthosting.com/ This way, the server will be online 24/7, and your pc will not be used to run the server.
  13. Watch this vid: But use this link instead for the files: http://test.voidswrath.com/modpacks/crazy-craft-4-0-official/ This is my guess, I have not installed or played it before.
  14. Does it have PCI-E connectors? If so, which ones? Might be important since some of the older "high-end" gpu's like 970 and 980 might be in your budget but they do require external power. Also, what specific model power supply is it? Last thing you'd want is a broken pc due to a power supply going bad.
