Like the title says. (other than Halloween preparations.) Weather is starting to cool off, AC only runs for part of the day. Time to get ready for when I need the heat.
Starting by dusting out the one I'm currently running (hex core). This thing is more effective at picking up cat fur than my vacuum cleaner. And with 4 fat cats that like to shed...
What prompted this is I'm currently leak testing a new pump. This is on my 4790 rig, in the case that used to house my former AMD FX rig. The 4790 may get fired up soon, we'll see.
I'm down to 4 in the stable. After finding out the 4p can pull 700+ watts from the wall, I know why it acts like a space heater and I was popping breakers last year.
FWIW, pump is an mcp 50x with res top. Unfortunately, my older res tops won't fit this pump. I did manage to crack the new res using an older barb and too much force. Apparently, the one enclosed barb is for the side of the res as it's about 1 thread shorter than my old barbs. I did manage to seal the crack, this is the main reason for the leak testing, as rest of the loop has been in service for quite a while.
