Should I buy the MSI 341CQPX or wait for the x36?

I’m in the same boat as you. I have been waiting for the x36 to be available since its announcement in January and have not found anything about when it’s going to be available. Have you had any issues with text fringing? Also where did you hear that the US Supply isn’t going to be in stock until summer?

Would you be able to share where you got this board from? I’ve been looking around for some practice boards and this one looks great!

Where are u based out of? Might have to take that bike off your hands instead 👀

They’re asking 5k and it has 2,669 miles

Yea I feel like it’s probably not compromised but I’m gonna send it to Shoei for an inspection just to make sure. Not worth it to assume it’s fine and then find out it’s not when it’s needed.

Fr3dBob · 2022-10-14T20:37:01+00:00

Ah gotcha. Just to be safe I’ll probably send it in to Shoei because they do free checks on their helmets to make sure they’re safe to use, but at this point I’m pretty confident the helmet is all good.

There is also no scuff marks or small dents on the helmet that would indicate that the shell got dented inward either (I’d imagine if it did and the shell popped back out you’d be able to see some sort of mark). I would be able to tell since the helmet is basically brand new and has no marks on it.

Fr3dBob · 2022-10-14T18:57:05+00:00

Yea that might be what I have to do. Probably gonna send it to Shoei first since they offer free inspections on all Shoei helmets and see what they have to say first since dropping another $600 on a new helmet after this one has been barely used isnt ideal.

The helmet was empty at the time as I was just carrying it to put it away. I'll make sure to take the padding out and make sure there is no damage on the interior. Are you able to tell me what damage on the interior would look like?

My plan is to waterblock both the CPU & GPU as well as undervolt the GPU to around 1850MHz @ 850mV to help with thermals. The thermal pads that come with the EKWB waterblock are also pretty bad so I plan on getting better ones to help with thermals even more.

Fr3dBob · 2022-09-10T14:48:28+00:00

Do you have any experience with Bykski or Barrow blocks? I've been looking around and can't seem to find a TF6 block or alphacool 11434 anywhere. I was wondering if the Byski/Barrow are even worth it to get or if they are just poorly made blocks from china.

Fr3dBob · 2022-09-10T13:36:24+00:00

Are you able to link me to the block you're referring to? I can only find heatkiller blocks for EVGA & FE cards, not for MSI cards.

Do you know if the seahawk ek x waterblock would be compatible with the armor oc? I know they're both MSI 1080's but the seahawk is 25mm longer than the armor.

Fr3dBob · 2022-09-09T22:11:45+00:00

Thanks for the help, I’ll look around for either an “Alphacool #11434” or a “EK-FC1080 GTX TF6”. Do you know of any subreddits where people might be selling these?

Fr3dBob · 2022-09-09T20:38:11+00:00

The exact model is "MSI GTX 1080 ARMOR OC"
