  1. Dear Ladies and Gents!

     

    Hope your having a good start in the week. 🙂

     

    I was hoping to find here any recomandation for UBUNTU stress test and stability testing (CPU/GPU/RAM - best all togehter...).... Please share your recomendation, experience, thoughts.

     

    So far i just found the following:

     

     

    1, Prime 95 CPU and DIMMS

    2, Furemark for GPU

    3, Passmark BurnInTest - is it worth the money? 

     

    Any other options?

     

    Thank you very much!

    This is pretty neat man.  You can buy these off the shelf, but not anywhere NEAR as cool as yours is.  The one I've got is just a plain white stand, and it has some plugs and dips built into it to set the controllers on and charge them.  I think it has a headphones stand too on it (useless for my XBox setup).

     

    Really cool mod!  

     

    Thank you very much! And yes there are many variants you can buy from the shelf, but it was not good enough, mainly from the cooling perspective... But i have to admit im a bit obsessed with thermals and cooling.... :misc_cold:

  3. Thanks 🙂 

     

    Regarding the temps on a Xbox - didn't found anything what could help to measure the internal temps, but yeah im sure it helps, even you cant measure it you can feel it that its not becoming that hot at the exhaust (top of the console).

     

    BTW - one technical question, the last picture i inserted there is not appearing in the edit mode and im not able to delete it... Is there any bug? :confused_confused1:

  4. DYI upcycled X-BOX active Fan cooler

     

    I bought an Xbox series X - have to say that small box is rly impressive and Quiet but as im obsessed to have all things kind off "cool" i started to look at any possibilities of an Cooler... I just found out there is nothing what would make sense. Most of the solutions are brainless gimmicks doing nothing just some RGB and noise or the best i found was to place another fan over the Fan of the Xbox.. Like yeah 2 fans are better then 1 but was not satisfied...  So i was playing with the idea of making a cooler similar to the laptop ones... Which could be even cooling the external HDD...

     

    1, Step bought an old Laptop cooler for about 3 USD:

    It came with a broken leg but solid Aluminum base which is perforated and it had a hub for 5V power supply by USB.. 

     

    2, Bought 3x 180mm Fans - Fractal design for  12 USD - for this i used one...

    3, 3D printed by a friend a nice frame to cover all the cable's and having a stand... 

    This is making the measurements..

    IMG_1993.thumb.jpeg.d7a2567b449149a6bda289dd9b26c0c0.jpeg

     

    4, Cut out the needed base from the laptop cooler plate and just connected it with the FAN and painted it a bit...

    IMG_2003.thumb.jpeg.ab0175ed13c7a9b05f9b2215d7cc784c.jpegIMG_2004.thumb.jpeg.70605844699134242f31c0ea25d499e0.jpegIMG_2005.thumb.jpeg.92836eff2f75b16e1a1cd0e6a20db911.jpegIMG_2006.thumb.jpeg.1c42ac40b1e91026b829885e8ddbdb6d.jpegIMG_2007.thumb.jpeg.bce883e04739abf6f1bad64cce2ec583.jpeg

     

    5, Basically bought as well a USB to Fan header voltage converter from 5V to 12V for the FAN and as well some Led strips for ambient white light and a Noctua fan speed regulator and assembled all together.. Its visible on the pictures so what to say more 😛

    I reused even the grey original stands from the laptop cooler 🙂 and kept all the screws for future project ...

     

    And here is the final Product!:

    Let me know what you thing about it. I'm more then happy with the result as the Xbox and as well the External drive are much more cooler so the summer can come. And it didn't add any noise to the system so its Quiet powered just by 1 USB port of the Xbox.... 

    I know its a Kids play compared to some projects here but wanted to share some experience. And im pretty sure this is one of its kind 😄 and its mine.

    insurance company from one, personal injury attorney from another.

     

    I doubt it'll go anywhere but still less than ideal to be dealing with this. Same neighbors that throw trash in my yard and dump full garbage bags over my fence. They drove over my sump pump drain pipe and snapped it off the side of the house too. Very dirty sleazy family. Absolutely refuse to stop driving on my front lawn. Even after both their land lord and the police stepped in they continue to do it. /end rant

    call me petty, but I'd make it my life mission to make them as miserable as I could without committing any serious crimes. 

     

    And if that didn't work, I'd get some 3rd party to commit the crimes.


    well i would just rent a nice soundsystem - point it toward their house and play nice songs in the legal hight… i can send you some nice tips for the music with a garantuee they will move out or stop the activities… Back in the day my music taste was meassured by Last FM and compared to almost 1mil users and i came out with 1,2% of user like what im or that 98,8% of my music taste is more obscure than the others…. (But be warned that it can cause that all living will dissapear as well from the area of inpact)☺️….

    stock or deleted, the world may never know

     

     

    ok so maybe it's a little obvious outside the car but when idle and when driving I can't hear a difference 


    i like the sound, much more cleaner and robist in my opinion… if i compare it to my cars sounds its a nice bully sport diesel sound! Like it!

    Yes, they have been mailed out. I did wait an extra week for people to reply (still only heard back from about half the people). I dropped them in the outgoing mail box last Sunday night with the exception of Memmento Mori's. I took off work a bit early Monday to make it into the post office to get that one shipped out since it was going international. They are all just going snail mail USPS so who knows where any of them are at this point. 

    Thank you very much for your efforts💪👍🤘

  8. To be honest, dont have a high meaning about LTT (Lost Their Track)….. just cklick bait, show and not much behind it…🙄 So no wonder of the reaction at all… 

    Anyway - Flux - great job done… there is nothing that takes that away💪🤘

    Howdy,

     

    I have the stickers ready to go. I will try to get them packed up and ready to mail out this weekend if I hear back from all the winners. 

     

    These are just a reprint of the ones I gave away last year. Last time I had two sizes. This time I just did the smaller size since that's what most people preferred.

    Guys i rly appreciate the effort but i have to pass.

     

    I didn't took part as i knew on that weekend i will be away, so i didn't voted my self in (but didn't thought about the Friday 😛.. So you can draw someone who took part 🙂 

     

    And on the other side im in EU so the shipping would cost more then 10 shipping's local 😉

    The public transportation in my city is called RTD. Around here the joke is that it stands for "Reason To Drive". I 100% agree with that acronym. 🤣

     

    Too bad most American cities just aren't setup with good layouts and transit. At least for here, it was clear Denver was developed with the car in mind and I suspect that's true for most American cities.

     

    Yeah at my place it has as well many names, but the most common would be translated as "Greasy stick/rod" ... And yeah, i noticed that its kinda different then in Europe...

    public transportation is for the feeble and I live in the boonies 🙃

     

    spending a grand to keep the car is less of a hassle than selling it and buying another. aside from the emissions crap the car has been 10/10. 

     

    Well at my place is an year ticket for the public transport cost basically 3/4 of a monthly cost for fuel (not speaking about the side cost for the car) and as well takes much more time (almost the twice as with PT) so for  me its not that much difficult to decide.. And i rather pay my mortgage then make the money puff out the exhaust 😛😄 But i know it heavy depends on the city, location, circumstances and so on and so on.. 

     

    And yes your right - its easier to adjust the car you have then to change it.. and there is always the aspect that with this car you already know what you have, while with a new one you have to find out 😄

    Ye, another reason I want to delete. When I bought the car I was driving ~40 miles one way @ 75mph and now I'm driving ~5 miles one way @ <45mph.

     

    I have to intentionally take a long convoluted route home now and again just to get it to start/finish a regen :sozo:

    Well wouldnt it make more sense to switch the car for a petrol one? 🤔 living in a city as well and for this i park my car at work in the undergound garage and use during the work week just public transportation… but i understand not everywhere its that good developed and makes no sense..

  12. I see… and yeah understand… Btw the problems could be caused by driving short distances or just city/traffic jams… Thats killing diesel engines… from time to time you have to “clean tge pipes” with a longer drive …. Anyway i think your more aknowledged then im so… yeah… GL with the project and Congrats to the new job and GL there as well!💪👍🤘
