What's your latest tech purchase?

[freeagent]

I hear you man

Gotta ramp my fans up to ride at absolute ambient..

 

[Tomgang]

I'll get to load testing within the next 2days, I start slow and don't move very fast, going to remount the cooler 2-3more times and recheck stock idle before I move to overclocks and loads.

Right now, I'm waiting for a new Z590 DDR4 kit to arrive UPS from Newegg so a bit distracted, wondering why it's soooo late.

The last component to finish this build, hooray!

Remount cpu cooler several times. Dosent make sense and shut not be necessary unless it's mounted wrong. I've never remount any cpu cooler. I had all ways gotten good temperatures on the first mount. On all my CPU's including the i7 980x and my current ryzen 5600X and 5950X.

I've also been waiting for a few parts to come home including a shorter pcie riser cable and asus low profile cooler gtx 1650 and a HDD i had to rma cause the local post delivery smashed a package and damaged a motherboard and a hdd, so I Can finish my own build. Hopefully this weekend.

Oh when I'm done with building my own system. I shal give you fan ramping. My cpu fans goes all the way up to 3000 RPM.

Case fans however will settle for 2000 rpm.

That's how I do it, mounting pressure is EVERYTHING with Noctua mounts and this new TORX driver can easily add too much, gotta back off 1/4turn at a time with my older Noctua coolers to get the best overall seating/mounting.

I hear ya brother, I'm attempting stock idle = ambient with the single fan at inaudible levels, so yea I'm gonna need to play around with the other Noctua paste and different mounting pressures.

On the flip side, new Gskill Z590 DDR4 4800/17 kit just arrived and guess what???

It's B-Die! Oh Glorious Day!

The fastest tightest B-Die ever binned by Gskill. Thought it might be Hynix, nope. Hallelujah!

Hoping for 4800/16 and 5066/17 at 1.500v brothers and sisters...

I can't help it I'm blown away - opening some beers, OH MY Goodness!

These ddr4 sticks are gonna FLY! and so is my work! Thank the Lord!

 

[freeagent]

Looking forward to seeing what your setup can do! I had that cooler in and out of my cart a few times.. no pressure

Nobody would ever run this B-die SuperKit at XMP. Yet here it is a quick and easy XMP.

At least I know my 11600K's IMC can run that strange and crazy load. NOW, getting into some much more voltage and heat efficient - fine tuning.

What a day, I'm worn out!

evga contacted me with a inventory notification last week, from when i signed up for early notification, (probably months ago).
if you also signed up on the evga site , you may hear from them soon

Look what my wife bought me for my birthday. What a lovely surprise!

Happy Birthday!

 

[jboydgolfer]

how are they?

ive been running my airpod pro's on windows 10 for a long time, but i want a new pair of headphones.
i havent found a pair more comfortable or better sounding than my sennheisers, but not for lack of trying.

Happy Birthday indeed! Those are not cheap and they are of excellent quality. Either she listened when you asked or she did her homework and/or asked the right people. Either way, she put effort into that! Someone loves you mate!

I confess to having dropped a few hints, as you do and yes, they are excellent quality, with mesh material instead of that awful fake leather.

how are they?

I haven't have much time to road test them yet, being on the bike all day, but first impressions are great. Love the surround sound with many game presets.

 

[plastiscɧ]

Hey what about my setup, is it chopped liver?

I realize it's just a dumb test bench but.

lololol

To say/reply it with Einsteins words:

"Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited."

(I am German, this forced me to comment this awsome "typing-machine" in his own phrase).

 

[tabascosauz]

Got the Peak Capture clip. Now my D610 can just go on my hip when I need it, or back in the Pelican 1300 when I don't. Mighty convenient.

Still working on the bag strap mount, it doesn't fit as nicely. Need to take some time to work on that.

Albert would only want me to work with such an extraordinarily fast "typing machine" - he told me that. lol

i guess he would like this machine cus he was just a "normal" guy aswell and "lazy" name it _effective_ in many ways. many of his letters were typed.
our all passion is computer-stuff in many different ways.
i think he would have murdered just for using OUR "typing machines" just for one day.

i was just yesterday in his birth town _Ulm_ and got my vaccination. They dedicated him a very nice museum.
def. worth ja journey

Well what do we have here?

let me guess: that's why you're so hyped and shaky that the camera couldn't get a sharp image

okay joke beside!
how fast do the vents spin?

Lol, no, just a kind of shitty phone camera, dim room and awkward position holding the camera

Did you mean the fans? They're rated at 200-1700rpm. Alongside the 280mm rad they should be a good upgrade from my current 240mm EK PE + BQ SW3 (regular speed) fans. Given that my current loop handles a 5800X + Fury X in a much more restrictive case (H200),
this should be both plenty quiet and excellent cooling.

no pc interior! looks like a lab from a classic marvel comic book or movie, which i last saw a long time ago (well, about 35 years ago). you might think that someone made his childhood dream come true...

this has def. a kind of sex-appeal! i mean the person who says this is odd just has no idea of aesthetics.

and guys pls forgive me my english! i know it's not brilliant __ of course it's not a "writing-machine" (this origins my imagination) it is A typewriter! but Einstein said once: If u do not know a word; just invent one. I like him...

4800 16 16 16 37 FEELS so much better than 5066 17 17 17 37 while working.

4800 16 16 16 37 > 5066 17 17 17 37

Although still reading up on Rocket Lake mem overclocking and learning, and that 350tRFC value in this screenshot is bugging me, maybe it should be higher/lower?

My new daily mem work OC below - gooey sweet and luscious

That be tight - Albert approves of tight!

Last few parts (until a storage upgrade/HDD retire) for the NAS have come in too. I feel like I've bought heaps and heaps and heaps of PC parts this year, but ... well, I guess, counting the HTPC build in November that isn't so far from the truth. Starting to reach the end (for now) though, which feels good.

Testing if I can get ECC working on my Ryzen 5 1600X and Biostar X370GTN will be interesting, but it should work. Found a pretty cheap 32GB kit in Europe on Ebay, so worst case scenario I still don't have ECC but I have 2x the memory, which will be nice, and I could even feasibly return it. Don't think I will though. And the recent addition of RTL8125 NIC support* in TrueNAS is a godsend for those of us who don't want 10GbE or the hassle of learning about enterprise networking standards to get cheap used fiber gear to work in a home. This, a switch (there are actually some to choose from now, yay!), and some wiring, and I'll be golden. Also some kudos to Delock for figuring out how to package an AIC with only easily recycleable materials. Brown cardboard boxing would be better, but printed cardboard is still better than plastic, and the cardboard insert is damn smart.

Btw had no idea Arctic had a "continuous operation" version of their P12/P14 fans with double ball bearings instead of their standard sleeve bearing. Should be perfect for the NAS (which isn't that noise sensitive, seeing how it lives in a hallway cupboard) with my DIY duct coupling this exhaust fan directly to the CPU heatsink. An excellent pressure-optimized fan with a 10-year warranty and rating for continuous operation for 129 SEK? That's a steal.
