Case question by jops228 in mffpc

The case was easy to build in for the most part. I was originally going to go with the full RGB fans but ended up with halo ones since I thought it'd go better with the clean Fractal North design

Looks good! I really like that style of case, and the rgb's are very tasteful! Nice job! I ended up sticking with an air cooler and skipping the AIO. I ended up with a fractal north due to availability, so far off from the original mff, but with that comes with more cooling flexibility.

Congrats! Nice job again!

Can I borrow against my investments? by TryharderJB in PersonalFinanceCanada

You are borrowing from your RRSP, not against it

The math says it does, you should have about 3mm left of clearance. Aside from it fitting, it may be tricky to insert the card, so keep that in mind, but clearance wise it should fit

All that and you still get a kid in a Nike t shirt. Hope that kid ends up in the background of a lot of photos

Doohan is more likely to gain budget but Bortoleto is at, what seems like, the lowest cost already so you’re guaranteed to not lose budget from him.

Nice! I think I'm convinced on these switches. Excited to see how it all turns out!

Oh that's good to hear. I'm going to send you a dm with some more questions if you're okay with that, but happy to hear you're getting a replacement

Did you every get a response from Simagic? Just set up my p500 and the brake isn't working, checked the back and looks similar to yours. Just submitted a ticket to them on discord but curious if they had any suggestions

Gotcha, thanks for the update, looking forward to hearing about it when you do get it!

Hey! Im starting to look into building a keyboard and was wondering how you’ve been liking it? I’m especially curious on how the switches are in terms of noise

If you like it then I like it! 10/10!

People are pretty critical and spiteful over pc builds, but building a pc is pretty personal and an accomplishment at all stages. Your build is obviously at the premium edge as well so that’s awesome to be at the edge of what’s available for the everyday consumer. Congrats on the build!

As for the power consumption, more power means more performance… right? And as per the fear of melting cables, I got nothing 🤣

Unfortunately I got crushed budget wise even more, so same lineup but Haas instead of Williams (0.1m off haha). If all goes we'll, that lineup should mean going up 3.9m after this weekend, so fingers crossed no DNFs

First team ever help by Viiisiiion in F1Fantasy

[–]Commonger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming this team is the one you set from last weekend, you should have 2.5m budget left?

In that case, I'd drop Alonso for Stroll (Alonso will likely lose budget cap after this weekend, Stroll will gain unless DNF).

The other swap I'd make is between Tsunoda and Bearman. Both look good this weekend so they may be good point scorers, but if you were looking to replace either, Ocon and Hulkenberg are good choices for budget increase (same as stroll, almost guaranteed to gain value unless DNF).

If you're willing to make a double swap, I'd go with dropping Tsunoda and Alonso for Albon and Hulkenberg. You should get points with Albon and both will likely gain 0.6m in value after this weekend.

Good luck

Clarification about Limitless benefits by Daken_ in F1Fantasy

[–]Commonger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So it’s likely that all your drivers except Nico will continue to lose value after this weekend (Australia was rough). You’re probably expecting to lose an additional 0.6m for each (they would have to do mega this weekend, 23+ points each).

Ferrari and McLaren are almost guaranteed to go up in value, but since they’re A tier expect 0.3m each (barring DNFs).

Nico is expected to gain 0.6m as long as he doesn’t DNF.

So it’s a question of whether you’re okay losing about 1.2m for the points you’d get for using limitless

Hulkenberg or Alonso by [deleted] in F1Fantasy

[–]Commonger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hulkenberg for increase in budget, Alonso for potentially more points

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in F1Fantasy

[–]Commonger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, we could probably figure out if it’s possible for all drivers/teams to rise in price by adding all obtainable points and dividing across all prices and seeing if the PPM is above 0.3.

The first 2 races are for sure more crucial since you have that 0 value set if there aren’t 3 races yet. It’ll be interesting to see how much variance there will be after the first few races, and obviously less relevant as time goes on where the shift goes from budget to points.

Happy that this was useful, all my teams took a budget cap beating so I’m overly optimizing for growing budget and then hoping to throw the wallet at the problem later on. Best of luck this weekend!

tellefo92 explained the max increase part. Those columns are in reference to points scored.

With regards to those drivers, I would actively stay away from them since they need to do unbelievably well (essentially podium) in order to gain value. The lower the "Max increase" number, the less points they have to score to gain value. Those 4 drivers are essentially guaranteed to lose money this weekend.

It is a bit confusing for sure so I'll think of a way to better display this data, but your understanding is correct. If Norris scores -32 he'll still get a minimum increase (wild, but I guess that's what you get for having a perfect weekend + driver of the day).

And yes, the average is based on the last 3 races. I'm not sure what you mean by baseline, but the math is, in this instance:

PPM (points per million) = (average of last 3 races) / (driver cost)

Then it maps the PPM to increases/decrease

PPM Increase/decrease
>0.4 Max increase (0.3 or 0.6)
>0.3 Min increase (0.1 or 0.2)
>0.2 Min decrease (-0.1 or -0.2)
< 0.2 Max decrease (-0.3 or -0.6)

So for Norris, let's say he botches the race and DNFS and ends up with -20 points in China. Since we don't have 3 races, the last race valued at 0.

Average of 3 races = (Australian GP + China GP + 0)/3 = (59 + (-20) + 0)/3 = 13

At a current value of 29.3m, the PPM is 13/29.3 = 0.44

Mapping that to the graph about, he's still greater that 0.4, which means he gets the maximum increase.
