    Hi guys. I have an question. Overall i am currently selling my house ( apartment with 1 room ) to buy some cheaper with 1 room too, and save cash for new pc in autumn 2024.

    So i choosed some cheaper apartment in smaller city,but there is coal heating. I dont wanna heat for coal.
    So i m thinking to buy electrical heater. And my question . Is this any sense to buy electrical heater when i will be using new pc with rtx 5090 and new intel ( when will be released ) ultra + Psu Seasonic 1600W?
    I expect that i will pay more for bills. But i wanna know this. Will using electrical heater ( i dont know yet how much Watts ) and pc will not trip breakers or something?I mean overload. Thx for answers.

    Or just look for other apartment with normal heating.

      Coal heat in a city? Really? I guess the electricity question is how much a KW hour is. For example here we pay almost 18 cents per KW. It would cost me thousands (about 4K) to heat my house in the winter. With a heat pump it costs me $1200 for heat.
      Furnace oil is like $1.50 per Liter. That would amount to thousands of dollars as well. So compare…

          I dont know if there is one breaker or two. Dont know yet. But what if will be one breaker in new apartment?
          Can i use space heater ( electrical ) + that pc without issues or will be overload?
          ​

          Or just unplug ( space heater ) eletrical heater when using pc on games?

              Look at the fuse panel and take a picture. Check the wiring of the power receptacles. Make sure you got a working earth ground. You may want to get an electrician or a friend that knows electrical wiring and check things out before you buy.
              For example:
              1600W : 230V = 6.9A. I think you got 10, 15 and 20A fuses over there. You gotta have more than one fuse. In the bathroom should be a GFI too…

                  by sew333
                  Hello. I will be buying new apartment to live. But fuse box is older. Not the newest.

                  And my question. It will be fine to plug pc in this new apartment with that fuse box,i think it is aluminium,right?

                  PC WILL BE: Rtx 4090,14900K,1600W PSU

                  It looks like this ( screen from internet ). Looks like this,not sure i dont take a pic from there. Can i plug pc with that one?

                  Vaillant 242 Gas Water heater. Shortcut in board anc compatibility with model 282
                  by edugimeno
                  Hi!!
                  Yesterday I was installing a new Wifi thermostat for my domestic gas water heater model Vaillant 242/2-3, and accidentlly one wire from mains touched one wire from the thermostat output contacts. This shut off the heater so I finished installing the thermostat and then went out to check the heater

                  I found one fuse blown (T2 250V). Replaced it with another equivalent fuse and it blew right away. I measured L-N in mains input and I sometimes got 4K but sometimes, not sure why, I got 100 Ohm...
                  At a certain point, moving stuff around, I put all wires back in place and...

                  Hy guys!

                  Today Im posting a few photos from my electrical heater controller.

                  The thing is that it turn on just right but as soon as the backlit comes in when I press the UP / DOWN temperature buttons the displays fades at such a point that the display fades completely progressively in 1-2 secons, its noticeable the display fading away, then the backlit stays really weak and the power LED goes out.

                  Everything comes back to normal after a 10 seconds that is the time the backlit should remain ON while i change the temperature setting.

                  Besides...

                  Diesel heater emergency power supply / poor man's UPS
                  by madan1
                  Hello everyone.

                  Some background - I have one of those chinese diesel heaters, which I'm using to heat a garage. Probably most of you are familiar with that units, but here is some basic info - the main heater body is enclosed with the motherboard+sensors unit inside a plastic case. The heater has a glow plug, that works only when the unit is starting (start the fire in the burner) and stopping (make sure to completely burn the fuel inside the burner) and two fans on a single motor. One fan is used to push fresh air in the burner, the other is used to push cold air in the case and...

                  by sam_sam_sam
                  I was Ollie today which is a close out / surplus outlet store I do not go in there to often because you find things that you should not be tempted by but that is a another story

                  I saw a small space heater that used a wire type of heater element which I been looking for a while but not really hard mind you but when I saw this I grabbed it I going to go back tomorrow and buy the last one that is like the one I bought today because I need the heater element and the ceramic insulators and more of heat element wire because this one has two different wattage settings one 1300 watts ( tap...
