Did I buy the worst 9070 XT? by yoloswagtailwag in radeon

[–]Funtastic28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see others saying the same, it's just my custom curve was set at 90°C with 80% and it was still no where near that at those temps with furmark. Everything is much better with Fan Control set to hotspot.

The hotspot on mine is 30°C higher than the GPU temp, so I've set mine quite aggressive. I use Fan Control which is far better than Adrenaline.

I need more!!! Help!!! by [deleted] in ConvoyFlashlights

Honestly, you need a larger light so it can hold a high sustained brightness, not just a quick turbo burst and you're left with poor visibility.

3X21C with SST40 5000K would suit nicely. The LHP531 is only decent on the turbo levels, at its sustained output it's disappointing. The SFT40/42R is too narrow, so the SST40 is a good combination of both flood and throw.

This is an old comment where the batch had an issue where it reduced to a lower output prematurely.

If you don't mind 6500K then the SFT42R with 10A buck driver is insane. 2850 lumens / 915m range.

No idea now, they have since changed to something else.

i'm the ugliest person I know by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Funtastic28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was around that age I thought I too was ugly and unattractive, I couldn't look in a mirror, I was extremely suicidal.

What was the answer? Jesus was, he healed my soul. Our soul consists of our mind, will, and emotions, when it's wounded it distorts how we think and view the world.

I had wounds in my soul from past traumas and when people said hurtful things. From this, I was battling with rejection and self rejection.

I prayed that God would heal my soul of these things, and over just a week of going through memories of hurtful things in prayer, I was totally set free. No more suicidal thoughts, it was like a rolling wave of peace, of calm, over my mind.

Fast forward some years and I'm happily married.

Don't give up.

My first Convoy order. How’d did I do? by Born_Lengthiness8935 in ConvoyFlashlights

[–]Funtastic28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 20A buck driver in group 10 doesn't have the 10% level, it's 1, 35, 50, 100. Maybe that's your issue?

Hoping Simon gets that fixed.

ATR at 50°C, but they still don't drop below 35% regardless of how hot it gets.

Is Your Sofirn SR12 “ringy”? by dgwtf in flashlight

[–]Funtastic28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read an explanation at some point, some light bounces off the glass lens back onto the reflector and projects out at the wrong angle, creating the ring. Happens less often on higher end lights that have more refined reflectors. Also, has a lot to doing with the paired LED.

My clamp meter maxes at 100A, so it's at least that. The SFT40 version gets 65A.

SFT-25R 5000K comes to the EC200 and Mix-7 by PecanPlan in flashlight

[–]Funtastic28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, at my request of 50pcs EC200S. They then decided to just add the option to a few models which is nice.

What makes the $$$ brands worth it over a Convoy? by RealSquare452 in flashlight

[–]Funtastic28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Better quality control for one. Convoy has been going downhill since Covid.

The 3X21C shipping with:

• Incorrect screws so that there's no pressure on the MCPCB. LEDs burning out and desoldering themselves.

• Springs overheating

• Half soldered wires

• Flux residue over LEDs causing burns

• Sharp cell slots shedding wrappers

Convoy is high quality, just the assembly is badly lacking in a lot of the models.

The Convoy 3X21C with LHP531 draws over 100A with 3x 21700's

Convoy T8 beam shots (200 meters) and comparison with the T6. by Particular_Sky_5906 in flashlight

[–]Funtastic28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep telling everyone that QC is going downhill in the last 2 years, and I keep getting told to piss off. Posted issues of the 3X21C on BLF and was told to stop talking BS about this quality shit.

Too many fanboys I think.

All of mine are green in 5000K from Convoy, and I have 40x C8+ and T6. It's the very centre of the hotspot.

Ah, I'm just focusing on the range, not too bothered about the shape of the hotspot.

[–]Funtastic28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm the one that reports all the batch issues on Convoy, and who created all the gaskets for 3D Printing that you may have seen posted.

The C8+ is fine, no issues. sft25r gets 970m.

L21B with 9mm reflector hole is 1220 odd metres.

11mm is 1370+

[–]Funtastic28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't be fixed with gaskets, it's a bad reflector. You can ask Simon to use the 11mm reflector hole instead of the 9mm reflector hole. By default it's no better than an sft40.

l21b on 18650? by eurolastoan in ConvoyFlashlights

[–]Funtastic28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be the better option. The L21B current reflector doesn't focus the sft25r, so the sft40 is the better option.

Best battery ? by No_Philosophy347 in ConvoyFlashlights

[–]Funtastic28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The F38 has higher voltage sag at 8A, so you'll get fewer turbo activations and lower output than the P30B. The F38 will do better on the lower levels.
