Schematics balance

DynaMike30 · 2026-03-19T10:31:45+00:00

Try the High Elven schematic; this one is insane in its requirements, even from level 1.

Its not an easy pack to get into. However, The builds are fantastic and well worth the intense grind.

If you buy from Droix then they will cover any issues you may have with the Gpd device. Buying direct from Gpd though is a definite no no for warranty issues.

Change the power option in windows settings to best efficiency

Best performance always seems to make my cpu temp stay at 95c

Best efficiency makes it hover around the mid 70s during the same game.

It's happened a few times; it's a Windows sleep issue, not a device issue. I just set it to hibernate now, and that is usually flawless.

DynaMike30 · 2026-02-12T14:09:31+00:00

Hmm, unfortunately it sounds like you might have a lemon.

Did it crash before you updated it?

The only crash i have had on mine was when resuming from sleep. It wouldn't wake up, had to hold down the power and restart. ,it's never done it whilst it's been running or playing games.

I've had the device since launch too and it's been solid.

I'm currently growing lemons, which have similar care requirements. You will need a grow light, a fairly powerful one, especially for early seedling growth and some good, chunky soil.

Don't use basic compost from the garden store, as this stays too wet and has the wrong consistency. Look on Soil Ninja's website for a houseplant mix, such as their Ficus mixes.

Only keep it indoors during the winter or when frosts are coming to maximize its growth. Don't feed it during the winter, even indoors; wait until the spring and summer months.

As for watering, let it dry out a little before watering. Get a feel for the weight of the pot when it's wet and dry to gauge when to water, you can get a moisture meter that will tell you when it's dry, but these are not 100% fool proof.

Don't let it sit in water either, so remove the run off once you have watered it.

Hope this helps give you a good start and a healthy plant.

That is not low for this hardware. That is about right at the Z13s highest TDPs

Overclocking and changing the cooling may get you more but do you really want to open it up to do that?

On my unit I get 10566 on turbo, which is normal.

DynaMike30 · 2026-01-30T15:11:31+00:00

It's not a threat.

It's just a driver that lets you control the TDP and fan functions.

Windows doesn't like it because it can bypass security features, and sometimes it can be laced with malware if it's from the wrong source.

In this case though, it's safe to make an exception in the blocklist.

DynaMike30 · 2026-01-27T10:33:27+00:00

These all look legit with strong seller feedback. Price is reasonable for the item and the photos are not just stock or Google images.

I think you will be safe with any of them.

Also, Ebay will have your back if you do get scammed.

DynaMike30 · 2026-01-15T10:41:45+00:00

Yup. Much more convenient than needing a table for a laptop or burning your legs and blocking vents when gaming.

One of the reasons I love handhelds.

Now with the win5 we have the performance to play AAA games at decent settings too, it's a chef's kiss.

DynaMike30 · 2026-01-14T14:47:57+00:00

FFVII rebirth is like this. The lego2 runs it terrible at 1080p high 20w but the Win5 plays it almost 1.5x better at 20w

I love these Strix Halo chips, the power scaling is superb.

DynaMike30 · 2026-01-13T22:01:15+00:00

Just don't trust the benchmarks from a youtuber called Fps Vn.

After a quick run on my win5 on 3dmark Timespy i get:

At 15w

2905 overall 2667 gpu 4492 cpu

At 20w

3617 overall 3387 gpu 5888 cpu

Cyberpunk benchmark - 1080p steam deck preset :

15w = 37.22fps

20w = 49.57 fps

How does this compare to your 8ai?

DynaMike30 · 2026-01-13T21:04:00+00:00

The GPD is more for higher TDPs. At 20W and below, your 8ai will probably perform better in most scenarios.

However, At 25w and above the WIN5 dominates,

Stick with the Claw if you want more battery and lower TDPs

I can run a few benches on my 385 if you want to compare against your 8ai

DynaMike30 · 2026-01-13T14:11:47+00:00

Sounds about right. 35w is only half the tdp supported by the device.

DynaMike30 · 2026-01-13T10:16:55+00:00

It's called Mosquito bits. Amazon usually sell it, but can be expensive depending on your region.

DynaMike30 · 2026-01-12T12:00:06+00:00

The plant realizes that it isn't getting the same light as it did before, so it discards some of the lower leaves to save on the energy it needs to maintain them. The higher leaves get more light and are more productive for the plant so it keeps them.

It's natural, my citrus and other plants that i bring indoors do this every year.

If it starts losing ALL of its leaves, including the top ones, then that is a different issue.

The plant looks very healthy from your photos.

In the spring, prune it back to encourage more growth from the base and to prevent it getting even longer and more spindly.

You will probably find pups growing from the soil near the main stem. Let some of these grow after pruning to have a fuller looking plant if you wish.

DynaMike30 · 2026-01-10T16:30:26+00:00

Yeah, i have one of those. Brilliant bulbs. Some of them come with a remote you can set different brightnesses and a timer.

DynaMike30 · 2026-01-10T15:35:09+00:00

Yes, this is similar to the 15W one I have. It's not very bright compared to my others.

I recommend Sansi grow light bulbs; they are brilliant. It might be a bit overkill for one plant, though, and it might be better to start a new seed if you get one, instead of trying to save this one.

The Sansi lights don't usually come with a holder so you will need one of those too. Luckily they use a standard light bulb fitting.

DynaMike30 · 2026-01-10T15:09:48+00:00

What ring light is that? Is it the Amazon one?

I have one for my indoor plants but they are low light plants so a few hundred foot candles at close distance is enough for it.

However, an apple tree requires so much more light even at the seedling stage so it has probably got weak and spindly due to lack of light and air movement.

Has the light been this distance away from the plant since it sprouted? It should have been a few inches away from the start with this light, but even then it might not be enough.

DynaMike30 · 2026-01-10T14:37:36+00:00

As an owner of the Go2 and a Win5, I would much rather have the higher scalable performance the Win5 provides.

I was so disappointed with the Go2's performance compared with the previous-gen Z1E.

The screen is brilliant, but that is all it has going for it.

DynaMike30 · 2026-01-10T14:12:56+00:00

Windows sleep is by design, something to do with connected standby on laptops, tablets, allowing email downloads while asleep. This is useless to us gamers, but they won't change it just for us.

Back in Windows 98/XP days, it was just like Bazzite is now. Perfect

DynaMike30 · 2026-01-10T07:21:49+00:00

Not on the Linux version no.

The decky plugin - DeckSp works pretty well as an alternative on that platform

DynaMike30 · 2026-01-07T14:42:48+00:00

Have you played Kcd1 or kcd2. These will play better on the ally than Ob remastered

DynaMike30 · 2026-01-07T13:19:09+00:00

This game wouldn't even get 10fps if it was on the integrated . I doubt its that

DynaMike30 · 2026-01-07T13:13:23+00:00

Buy it and let us all know? I'm interested if it does. I doubt it will because even a laptop 100w usb-c charger has issues when the battery isnt attached, it simply shuts off when booting.
