Case fan starts spinning at 2000rpm when I lock my PC? Doesn't stop until I unlock it

I recently changed my AIO pump, which was a process involving....

  • Resetting my BIOS fan settings to default to diagnose the issue, and
  • Removing some plugs to my Corsair Commander (new AIO fans plug direct to MoBo)(so less fans are drawing power from the commander).

Now, one of the fans which was previously working fine, spins at over 2000RPM when I windows+L, and even when the screen turns black. It also happens between first turn on and until I unlock my PC. It never did this in the past 5 years I've had it.

For reference my CPU stays at around 30-50c. MoBo is a rog strix b450 f

I assume I have changed something in the BIOS. Would anyone know what this is, so I can change it back? I know each BIOS is different... but what wording should I look for? Nothing stands out... :/

Rear fans, RGB lights, and pump suddenly stopped working. CPU overheating. Fix?

Spent the day 3D modelling. I locked my PC but when I came back it was turned off automatically. When I turn it back on, the rear fans aren't turning on and not lighting up, and I don't think the pump is running. The CPU light isn't turning on either

The CPU is reaching over 100 degrees C on the BIOs when I check it quickly. The BIOs and start up error show that the fans and pump aren't detected. The fans and pump are set to start at a low temp. The intact fans and their LED lights at the front of the case work.

I've firmly pressed the cables into their heads and connections and still nada.

Given it's all gone at once, and it's a 5 year old pre-built PC, is this a power supply issue? Or maybe the Corsair commander thing everything seems to be connected into?

I noticed that nothing is plugged into the aio_pump header, but instead something is plugged into cpu_fan. Not sure if that's correct...

Room temp is about 10-20 degrees

Sorry I don't know the specs as the PC is becoming an oven. The power supply is a Corsair RM 550x though.

Any help would be appreciated 

edit: i unplugged the AIO from the corsiar commander and now all the fans and RGB work. so it must be the faulty pump messing it up?

Leave windows textureless? Or put curtains in them to simulate an inside?

What do mod users expect for windows? Should they be textureless (like this one I've made) or should I try put curtains etc in them so they look like they have rooms.

Also; where do people get curtain textures from? Google Images isn't giving the best results when I search "curtains from outside" lol

Just $150 of student loan left... should I pay it off now or wait for my pay cheque?

I can't decide...

I have one pay cheque left to pay it off fully (my normal deduction is ~$250). But I have a spare $150 lying in the bank with no real plan for it. I know it's an interest free loan but it's such a small amount comparatively....

Is there any benefit/downside to just paying it off now in one lump sum? If I pay it off now I'd get the $150 back in two weeks time anyway with my next paycheque, and i'd feel really good to have it gone now... But if I wait, I'll keep the $150 in the bank.

Also: If I wait for my pay cheque, will my deduction still be $250 (i.e. unchanged), and then I'll be owed $100 by the IRD? Or does it automatically change to $150 for this last leg?

And, do I have to tell payroll to update my tax code or will IRD eventually get around to it?

Is this the most efficient way to texture custom building assets?

I'm making some assets for city builder mods and for objects to fill the the background of a render.

I've only just realised that, Instead of making and baking a unique high poly model for each building, I can make one section of a high poly wall, roof, and doors/windows/details and then I can interchangeably use the textures in my models. I've found this is called tiling or atlas mapping? The textures I've made don't look like examples I've found online though.

The main building is a cube with separate planes for the windows and doors (so I can move them around easily). The windows/door base color texture is transparent.

I just want to check with the experts as to whether this is the right way to go about this, and most time effective? Should my atlas/tile textures be more uniform (i.e. each texture type to a quadrant like ones online) or are my ones fine? (I normally make historic vehicles with detailed bespoke skins hence I've just found this method lol)

Lush perfume bottles spluttering instead of spraying

I have Lush's Lust perfume. It's about half empty, and now is spluttering thecperfume out instead of spraying it. The splutter is uncontrollable, with it going in directions It's not pointed directly at.

Annoyingly the red Lust perfume has splattered onto my wall and floor and stained them. I can't get it off no matter how hard I try.

Is this something other people experienced... and how do i fix this? This is the 2nd or 3rd lush perfume which has done this...

Not doing acoustic sets anymore?

I've noticed that they don't seem to play acoustic sets anymore during tours, like on the radio in this picture. I first noticed it during TBHC but also The Car eras. Feels like they did heaps during SIAS and AM... even EYCTE had acoustic sets. I'm sure songs from TBHC and The Car would sound great acoustic.

Why aren't they doing it anymore, or as much? 🤔🤨
