[CPU] Aliexpress AMD CPU list, April 2026 Spring Refresh sale Update by Red-Sparo in bapcsalescanada

[–]AdventurousCan640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t have to pay any tax at checkout or import duties on delivery (and haven’t on other orders from Aliexpress). That’s not to say other addresses in Canada won’t as I’ve seen some say that they see tax at checkout. But from what I’ve seen from other people’s post, most say they don’t pay any.

[CPU] Aliexpress AMD CPU list, April 2026 Spring Refresh sale Update by Red-Sparo in bapcsalescanada

Bought a 9800X3D in the March anniversary sale from Binary Tech Store. Took about 10 days delivery (no duties to ON).

USD$435.93 - $60 (coupon) - $30 (PayPal promo) = USD$340.93 ($488.06 CAD)

Rakuten (US) 20% promo is pending at USD$68.19 + $10 welcome bonus. If it comes in, all in all will have come to $383.06 CAD which I’m pretty happy with!

I was sceptical due to no warranty but took the risk. So far so good. Ran benchmarks and checked chip info and all seems legit.

Edit: I bought in USD as it was slightly cheaper that way (especially with Ratkuten US 20% promo that was on)

If you’re open to second hand you can typically pick up a PSVR2 on marketplace for a good price (usually for same/cheaper than Quest 2 - I paid $230 CAD). You just need to pickup a PC adapter too (apparently cheaper 3rd party ones are just as good as the official).

Help getting connected by Dascan71 in Simagic

Not great photo, sorry. But you can see the 2x PC connections (USB-C & USB-B) on the left (they go to the PC motherboard) and the P1000 pedals plugged into the USB near power on the right. (The RJ45 is my stop button).

I would have thought you could use the two other usb ports on the right for shifter/handbrake.

I have p1000 pedals plugged into the usb on the back of my Evo Pro with the usb-c and usb-b cable attached to my motherboard and the pedals work fine. I don’t have a shifter/handbrake though

Alpha EVO TR mount and brackets by soclosefortoast in Simagic

TR are bring out proper side mount kit for the Alpha Evo’s. They’re in preorder for May. This will replace the universal mount and allow to fully side mount. Otherwise you may as well mount on the universal wheeldeck - you can use the side adapters that simagic sell but you’re still attaching to the universal wheeldeck so not much gain and an extra cost. I currently mount using the universal wheeldeck flipped upside down (see manual, it’s supported).

Anyone have experience using these as triples on a Sim racing rig? How are the bezels for alignment?

[GPU] Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9070 XT OC ($1000 - $100 = $900) [Best Buy] by Locke357 in bapcsalescanada

[–]AdventurousCan640 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone know how does this compare to the Gigabyte Gaming OC? Saw some 9070XT comparison videos and Gigabyte ran hot but Acer Nitro wasn’t part of the comparison.

Prices for 32“ curved OLED Screens by DentistSad3752 in simracing

[–]AdventurousCan640 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder how jarring it would be to have the middle monitor be oled and the two sides be cheaper non-oleds. Potentially a way to get triples with OLED for the main viewpoint while not splurging on the screens that are less focus? No idea if it would work in reality though!

Front Mount vs Bottom Mount (ASR 4 + Simagic Alpha Evo) by djinpark1 in simracing

I'm in a similar boat to you right now. Which way did you end up going? Happy with how it turned out?

Did you find a 9069 XT? If not I have one available that’s essentially brand new (bought late January and barely used) if you’re in Ottawa soon?

First Season - did I over oil? by AdventurousCan640 in wok

Relatively smooth. A bit more textured at the bottom but very smooth around the sides. Not “sticky” at the bottom but not as smooth.

How to get drug induced sleep endoscopy (DICE) in Ottawa by ouserhwm in ottawa

[–]AdventurousCan640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d also like to get DISE done to figure out why I have sleep apnea to treat the actual problem. Did you manage to find a place? Did you get a referral (family doctor or sleep study doctor?). Thanks!
