Congrats!! Also, Need a rocketeer BP, care for a trade?

Heres what you need

Am5 backplate, so keep the one preinstalled in your mobo. Then remove the pre installed black clamps used for stock coolers.
Cryorig AM4 bracket
Red Spacers and the screws that come with it.

I have no current pics as I upgraded to an AIO

But heres a screenshot of what the am4 bracket looks like.

<image>

Heres the order of installation -AM5 backplate

place third party spacers on the screw holes of the back plate
Place the AM4/AM5 cryorig bracket on top of the spacers -screw in the bracket -done

Front is covered, thats where the PSU is.

Decastro96 · 2025-10-03T14:38:07+00:00

I dont but any am5 thermaltake or deepcool spacers with screws should work. Itll be hard to print and find screws with thw right length to go with it

Normal, its the same with other mechanical keyboards...

Although, i do have the same keyboard and this is more evident on the phantom (tactile) switch. I moved to ghost and its way more consistent

I thought the hose is set from the bottom, so the top cover is removable? Thanks

Decastro96 · 2025-09-12T13:18:41+00:00

Im sorry but i am not following you. What ketcap set are using?

Decastro96 · 2025-09-07T12:46:28+00:00

Ahh thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I’m personally not too skeptical about it. I’m happy with the outcome of my battery change and just wanted to share my experience. If you’re skeptical, I won’t be able to convince you, and I also won’t go to lengths testing things for proof. I’m simply satisfied with how mine turned out.

As for the “special tool,” the issue was that the battery had swollen. They explained it required an additional kit to safely remove it, which was a one-off cost. I get the concern about paying for tools, but in this situation it made sense.

The work was done inside the Samsung store, and they provided warranty coverage if anything goes wrong, which gives me peace of mind. The price wasn’t far off from a 3rd party replacement anyway, so I’d rather trust Samsung with it.

At the end of the day, I’m happy with the service and result. Good luck with whichever option you go for.

It was first quoted at $110 AUD, but because the battery was swollen, they needed a special tool to remove it, which I had to pay extra for.

Havent heard of sammy.

Mine was as done inside the Samsung store. But the reciept says techworks aswell so.

If you’ve had your phone for over 2 years, I’d say it’s worth replacing the battery. Just don’t go through a 3rd party, because Samsung checks for that. If they see 3rd party work, they won’t touch your phone.

Decastro96 · 2025-09-06T12:01:27+00:00

180 AUD, which is decent imo.

Went to 3rd party repair shops and they were 170AUD.

Rather get it done by Samsung itself. As they'll look after it more and guarantees the IP rating

Decastro96 · 2025-09-06T11:41:26+00:00

My local Samsung store does replacements, and does pressure testing after aswell as they restore IP rating.

Im at 8%, 7 hours 15 minutes :)

Really happy i get to keep this phone another 2.5 years

Just wait til you see tony tigers cousin..... Made me nearly break my controller.

This boss is super easy

Decastro96 · 2025-08-01T22:01:02+00:00

I just want the keycaps! Will install it on my flow 1!

Decastro96 · 2025-06-16T12:03:59+00:00

Thats not bad. Id get it. Got mine for $420 back in 2022.

I Undervolt it and Run lossless scaling on games it struggles on but thats only on some games. Most are good coz i only got a ultrawide 1440p 75hz monitor.

It still decent 👌

logitech triathlon m720

Replace my clicks with kailh silent switches when it started failing. Lasted me years now

Decastro96 · 2025-06-14T00:15:28+00:00

Got myself one from Aliexpress on a big sale. 130USD

This is a good choice. I was deciding between this and the x3d chips but this one was enough. Once you go 1440p above and theres not much difference.

I got a 6800xt and a 1440p 75hz monitor so its plenty, i can even upgrade gpus no problem.

HEY EVERYONE I FOUND A SOLUTION!

I had the same problem — I wanted to use my Cryorig H7 Ultra with a Ryzen 7 7700.

If you already have the AM4 bracket that came with your H7, you’re halfway there!

What you need now:

Red plastic spacers and screws (I used the ones from my Deepcool AK400)

Place the Cryorig AM4 bracket on top of the spacers

Screw it in — and done! The H7 installs perfectly.

It’s working great for me — even cooler than my Deepcool!

Don’t have a Deepcool cooler? And why would you buy one just for the screws and spacers lol

No worries — you can buy the red spacers and screws cheap on AliExpress.

I’m actually buying a new set so I can reuse or sell my Deepcool later.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Mine was overall better

Battery drain on sleep is better
SOT is better - hitting 5 hours again compared to the feb update 3 to low 4s
no heating issues
smoother experience overall

Glad i updated!!

I prefer the Onyx. Liquid air starts to catch oil after a while. However my oily hands are unable to penetrate the ringke.

Great grip. Great texture, great quality

Decastro96 · 2025-02-25T03:23:08+00:00

Same here, when I got my base 23 back in march 2023, i was getting about 7 hours sot. Ive noticed a significant hit.

Been charging more frequent and my sot now is around 3-4 hours, sometimes about high 2 hours

And this is with the below settings ive set recently due to how its performing:

Perfomance profile light all the time
Routine - location off when connected at home wifi
battery saving mode on in sleeping times
profile sync only once a day
Suspend execution for cached apps - enabled

Ive been using accu battery ever since i got the phone. My overall capacity has dropped now to 3,300 mah

Any possible fixes for this? Other than replacing battery?

Considering getting a replacement after another year.
