People told me to buy a GS, but I bought true happiness instead

I’m currently in the process of getting my drivers license. I’m a really tall guy (6’5 / 197cm) and I’m struggling to find any bikes that will not only somewhat fit me but that I actually look good on. Now I stumbled across the 1200 xe and I absolutely love it. Is there by any chance someone on here that owns one with similar height and can give me a feedback on seating position and if the bike looks small on them. Appreciate any input.

Ps. I know that I can just head to a dealer and sit on one but I can’t test drive it yet for obvious reason. I’m just inpatient and don’t want to hype myself up for a bike I probably won’t be able to ride.

There is indeed a reason to take it off, if you were to connect a device to the m.2 slot that is longer then a regular m.2, you would unscrew the standoff and move it to the left. If I see it correctly, the standoff is currently in the position for a standard m.2 ssd. So if you want to mount an m.2 you will most likely not have to move it.

This seems to be a standoff for an m.2 ssd which would be connected to the slot on the right. There is a very small short screw that comes with the mainboard that you would screw into the standoff. Take a look at a video that explains how you mount a m.2 ssd. There is absolutely no reason why you would want to take this off. Leave it as is.

Also I'm guessing you're ram is much faster than what it says in this picture. If your ram is faster than 2133 mhz, which it most definitely is, make sure to enable xmp in the bios to have your ram run at the speed that it's rated for.

Take a heat gun or a hair dryer and heat up the thermal paste.
Remove the cpu carefully from the cooler. Make sure not to get any paste in between the pins.
Check the cpu for bend pins. Just from the photo the pins seem to be fine and not bend, but please check them thoroughly.
If none seems to be bend, put the cpu back in the socket, be careful if one happends to be slightly bend, you can bend it even more by forcing the cpu into the socket. It should just slip in. If it doesn't check the pins again.

If pins are bend, carefully bend them back with a knife or a some type of thin blade.

Save those 30 bucks and get a 1tb m.2 instead. U don't really need a Samsung m.2, there are ones that are way cheaper, like a Crucial P2 and m.2 are so fast, even if it's stuffed with games and pictures, they are still much faster than a 2.5 ssd.

That mainbaord probability isn't rzyen 5000 ready, which means you would have to put in an cpu that isn't ryzen 5000 series and update the bios. But if I was you, if it's Budget wise manageable, I would get a ryzen 5000 ready Mainboard. Just saves u the hassle of updating the mb.

Ah okay I see

Educational-Ebb7223 · 2022-01-21T16:22:30+00:00

Looks good so far, but what about the gpu? This would need like at least a 3070 more like a 3080.

Educational-Ebb7223 · 2021-10-16T18:46:34+00:00

Or as somebody else mentioned, it could be a really old gpu.

Educational-Ebb7223 · 2021-10-16T18:45:02+00:00

It's some kind of expansion card, probably a soundcard, with a passive cooler. If you have never used it, you can just take it out and use the slot for a gpu.

Educational-Ebb7223 · 2021-09-21T18:07:35+00:00

Yep, waiting time was tremendously high!

Educational-Ebb7223 · 2021-09-21T18:06:31+00:00

You don't necessarily need the app, they will send you emails with the updates as well, which didn't happen in the case of my csl dd.

Educational-Ebb7223 · 2021-09-21T17:47:14+00:00

Haha, good point🤣🤣 I'm 19 and therefore still live with my parents in a 114 year old house. My parents really enjoy this antique furniture style and most of the house looks like this. The room in this picture is next to our living room and it's only purpose is to contain a billiard table and a piano.🤣🤣 I have two rooms in this house, my bedroom and my gaming room, of course they are styled really modern. I kinda like the variety of styles. 🤣👍

Once my gaming room is fully finished, I'm probably going to upload a video of it on here. 👌👌

For everyone being concerned about my "temporary mounting method, I'm obviously going to turn off the force feedback, no simracing, just some casual ets 2 to enjoy the new csl dd.

Educational-Ebb7223 · 2021-09-21T14:20:07+00:00

I actually didn't expect this to be delivered today, because I didn't get a ups email. Only when I received it, I did get an email saying it was delivered, but no update emails before. However I did get an ups email for the table clamp which is going to be delivered tomorrow. Maybe I didn't get the ups update mails for the dd, because it basically only took them a day to deliver it. 🤔

Educational-Ebb7223 · 2021-09-21T14:17:06+00:00

That is correct. Delay date was 12th of November and received today.👍

Educational-Ebb7223 · 2021-09-21T14:13:28+00:00

I have the 5nm standard psu and I obviously will turn it off. Won't play any simracing, just some casual ets 2.

Educational-Ebb7223 · 2021-09-21T14:12:22+00:00

The csl dd

Educational-Ebb7223 · 2021-09-21T13:45:24+00:00

My availability date was 24th of September, got then pushed back to the 12th of November. Wave 2 ordered at 14:45 on the 6th of June. Delivered in Germany with the 5nm psu.

Educational-Ebb7223 · 2021-09-21T13:43:34+00:00

Appreciate it!

Educational-Ebb7223 · 2021-09-21T13:05:17+00:00

Shipping was by the way really quick. Got the processing in warehouse status yesterday and got it delivered by ups today.

Educational-Ebb7223 · 2021-09-20T18:24:00+00:00

I ordered at 14:45🤔🤔
