2019 Cx9 Started Overheating…

I’m aware of the cylinder head issues, 107k miles on it now. Seems worse when driving slower or idle. Is ok at speed.

Cooling fan is working and kicks into overdrive if we let idle as temp raises.

Coolant in the expansion tank was low so I topped that off.

So do we think it still could be the cylinder head or a water pump or thermostat issue?

I present to you, the MORA on wheels... Alphacool 5090 with MORA420.

Main goal of this was function over form, ease of maintenance, and it has to be in-between my desk (LG 42" C4) and my sim rig (triple LG 42" C4). If you want to use gsync/vsync/hdr/120hz with triple tvs, you need the right (short) cables or adapters, hence why it needs to be close to both.

GPU at 600W with +1000 on memory and +175 core =3.1ghz at 43C.

Build specs:

  • ⁠Case: Corsair Frame 4000D w/ 6x RS120 Fans
  • Motherboard: ASUS - ROG Strix B850-F
  • RAM: G.SKILL 32GB 6000MT/s CL30
  • PSU: Silverstone ST1200-PTS
  • CPU: AMD 9800X3D
  • CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360
  • GPU: Aorus 5090
  • GPU Radiator: Watercool MO-RA3 420 w/ Noctua NF A20 HS-PWM
  • Waterblock: Alphacool Core ⁠
  • Pumps: Dual EK D5
  • Res: HEATKILLER Tube 200
  • Fittings: QD3 + mixture of EK and Bitspower + Aquacomputer high flow NEXT

Did anyone buy a rebuilt battery from Lonni Shepard?

He posted here last year advertising his rebuilt batteries, including options with upgraded cells. He also sold on eBay and had great reviews…

Well, both batteries I purchased from him had issues with 6 months. One of them just stopped charging at all…. The other one does work, and seems to last as long as one would expect, but after a few months the battery capacity leds won’t charge more than 3 bars.

On the one that won’t charge at alI, I messaged him to ask if he had any troubleshooting tips. Nothing worked so he agreed that if I shipped the battery back to him he would fix or replace it. Well, that was a month ago that he’s had my bad battery and crickets.

Anywho, I don’t expect anything. Just wondering if anyone else had similar experiences or maybe I just had crappy luck.

How long are current iPhones available after the new release?

Anyone remember how long the iPhone 16 pro max was available when the 17 came out?

Also, am I mistaken or did T-Mobile switch to requiring your trade in be active on a line? Or am I making this up?

Thanks.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Everything is fine if dlss is disabled. As soon as I enable it, I can see menus but nothing else, including when I jump into a session.

I’ve updated Nvidia drivers… even reinstalled the game. Unless I’m missing a rouge folder somewhere.

System is Windows 11, 9800x3d with 5090; triple 4k with Nvidia surround.
