Updated the mb firmware from 4.20 to 4.40 (latest supported by this 3400G, and was able to eek another 200MHz out of the RAM (landing at 3600). Just cleared memtest test #9, seems to be good. Also set the iGPU to a manual oc at 2GHz, 1.1V, but haven't tested stability yet. Leaving the Arc gpu...

Oh, msi got some swag as well: Unfortunately, it's on a separate magnetic plate, with a goofy "G" cutout for the fins. Still pretty nice, though. MSI Gaming RTX 4070 Super 12G Gaming X Slim MLG Graphics Card https://a.co/d/hJj3chA

They're 180 mm fans, and he can move them from the front to the bottom. Then he can move one of the 140s from the bottom to the back, and either put one in the front or stuff it in a box somewhere with the other unused 140.

Dunno why y'all are encouraging him to half-ass it. There are brackets that were included with the case specifically to allow the use of 120 mm fans and radiators. Install those, then screw the radiator/fans onto them.

It should be fine, doesn't get much simpler than that. They even use a multi-layer PCB -- others might have used jumper wires or no PCB at all...which would be okay, but not great. Technically speaking it's a simple attenuator circuit, the expensive parts are the case (metal) and the POT (has...

Schiiiiit (Edit: to elaborate, a pre-amp usually resides right after an input device, to bring it up to line-levels, iirc. It has no place working on audio out of a DAC.)

Looks like you want update-initramfs, specifically update-initramfs -c -k ran as root. That said, I couldn't find official documentation of that command online, so I don't know what those flags do. I found it in a few reddit posts when searching kde neon and generate initramfs. Maybe run with...

The case comes with a couple "rails" that you need to install in order to use the front for 120 mm fans and radiators: Item 5 in the screenshot. I don't think you can use the larger included fans with that bracket installed, but you can move them to the bottom. The manual has some recommended...

Unfortunately it's not a direct comparison, but techpowerup tested the torrent with a 360 mm radiator cooling the cpu and an air-cooled gpu. The Torrent matched or beat the corsair 7000 in most tests. The CPU might run a bit warmer with heat coming off the radiator, but the 4090 doesn't make a...

I wouldn't worry too much about that. Going to be getting plenty of air from the front and bottom, and it should all easily be pushed out the back thanks to all the ventilation available back there. It's maybe not the best case for a 240 radiator, but it's far from the worst.

The torrent's specs say it supports 3x 120 in the front and bottom. You'll have to remove some of the installed fans, but it should work fine.

So I ran the official FurMark bench from gpumagick (was using gputest before) and got some official results. Arc A380: https://gpumagick.com/scores/show.php?id=95270 AMD 3400G: https://gpumagick.com/scores/show.php?id=95279 The a380 began the test at 30 fps and slowly droped to about 17 fps as...

OpenHAB looks pretty interesting too, might look into that myself. https://www.openhab.org/docs/

I mean, yes, but they're both oxidizing processes. The end result is very similar, just when you are burning something you often remove more than when you bleach something, due to the heat generated in the process.

I had gotten an older version of monoprice's door sensors from amazon, I'm sure there are better ones out there though. The ones I got were pretty huge, but they did work. Here's their current model: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=43303 For the hub, I got a NorTek (GoControl)...
