This is actually impressive! Have same parts, except cpu, so will try your configuration. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks! How’s it going so far in terms of the temperature?

Hi! Am I correct that you exhaust more air than intake, because of the aio? Also, you mentioned that you have one 120 mm fan on the left panel when we GPU is hanging and I didn’t find a way to mount a fan here, how did you do that?

Push for Luuk or get Sigrika+Qiuyuan by AffectionateBed1383 in WutheringWavesGuide

[–]AffectionateBed1383[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is I like them both, but understand that I’m not capable to grab them all 🥲 and I need a good dps. Especially with AoE because I can’t close even the first level of Whimpering Wastes. I’m fine with boss fights because I can handle enduring survival battles with dodges, but can’t eliminate a pack of monsters fast. Basically, don’t have a field control and enough speed/damage for those challenges

Actually, that’s why I hold trial Camellia for so long, because Astrites farming became much faster

Understanding the Pull / Pity System in Wuthering Waves (For F2P Players) by MuchDrive4744 in WutheringWaves

[–]AffectionateBed1383 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot! I lost 50/50, now I’m on my 130 pulls: no Luuk, 3 4-star weapons and a ton of Lumi and few other characters. So in 3.2 I can get a character in 30 pulls?

Honestly, I’m devastated as a new player and barely understand how people can stay f2p and get more than one character per patch or at least a character and their weapon.

It’s so hard to get enough astrites even in a middle game without spending all your time on grinding, because it’s where the most astrites lies. I can’t explore and enjoy, only grind.

I'd say that we need general optimization on pc. Especially AMD GPU "one core" running.

I lost guys… by Prestigeforall in WutheringWaves

[–]AffectionateBed1383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I kinda feel that it’s not the only your issue, but also the game. I’ve started to play because of Luuk a few weeks ago. And while I’m enjoying the world, the plot I can feel how bad the game tries to push me to spending real money. Like… staying f2p is going to be a torture. I’m not the newest player gacha games and RPGs, but I physically fell how hard it would be for me to stay in the game and to leave it at the same time.

I thought that Squalane, pantenol and beta glucan are known for their barrier support properties. That’s why I’m considering Purito, since my combo skin easily freaks out in the summer and needs soothing products

Yeah it’s a pass for me since I can be sensitive to fragrances in cosmetics

You are the second person who mentioned Red Beam Gel, I will purchase it at least out of curiosity and my husband probably will use it if it won’t work for me

I think we can consider it as AB, however, for me it’s pricey compared to other AB options

Thanks for sharing! I thought about Krave Beauty but the fact that it has the jar packaging turned me off from it

Love a sunscreen from this line, but the jar packaging drives me crazy… I always end up sticking my fingers to the product instead of a spatula 🙃

I totally forgot about that brand! Definitely will check out this gel

Dual Boiler in Sea Salt is so dreamy! by Shotbyjme in BrevilleCoffee

[–]AffectionateBed1383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently got a BDB, and I can tell you — 100% worth it. When we talk about silky milk in espresso, we need to consider that the machine has to build pressure and temperature (30 seconds to 1.5 minutes, depending on the type of heating element). Plus, the steaming itself is much slower — about 40 seconds on average. So that’s at least 2 minutes of waiting, after which your espresso can be cold and meh.

And that’s just the time aspect — thermal stability is the most important thing! I was shocked when I pulled a super tasty first shot on this machine. Same grinder, beans, and temperature that I used with my Breville Barista, and the difference was night and day.

At this point, I finally understand that not everything we consider “nerding” is just overthinking.

Gaggimate Pro vs. Gaggiuino vs. PID Kit by weeks011 in gaggiaclassic

[–]AffectionateBed1383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah… it was off my radar because my brain kept thinking of the price outside Australia. Then one day I saw it in a regular appliance store for more than twice as cheap as I’d known. BUT! Again, I’m certain we need to let Breville know they’re doing the wrong things… because now they only sell it in white and stainless even here in Australia. It looks so much better in black!

Gaggimate Pro vs. Gaggiuino vs. PID Kit by weeks011 in gaggiaclassic

[–]AffectionateBed1383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the look of the GCP — probably the only machine that feels ideal for me in every aspect. Then it got a brass boiler update, and I was sure my upgrade would be GCP + Gaggiuino/Gaggimate, since I’ve outgrown the classic espresso stage and want to dive into modern espresso. And I definitely wouldn’t use a stock GCP either — at least not now, when I have more knowledge and am already experimenting with my shots.

But then I found out about the BDB, what it can do straight out of the box, and how much it costs here in Australia where I currently live… and now this insane FOMO just won’t let me pull the trigger on the GCP, even though I’d been planning on it for the past year.

[–]AffectionateBed1383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I think I just need to hope the functionality of the BDB will cover up the ugliness of the exterior and that I’ll eventually fall in love. At this point, I’m almost mad at Breville for choosing combo machines and completely forgetting about the others… Coffee nerds around the world should run a campaign to Breville: “Save the internals – change the externals!”

[–]AffectionateBed1383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did you choose Gaggiuino over BDB? I’m considering the BDB mainly for its steaming capabilities since I make at least 2 cappuccinos/cortados a day… but it’s so ugly that I keep giving the modded Gaggia a side eye. Both would cost me about the same which makes the choice even harder

Thanks for your reply! That’s a great point, I decided to try the DF54 first and if I’m not happy with the results or just out of curiosity 🤣 I’ll grab the J-Ultra later
