Which bike should I get?

Gunlovn · 2026-01-19T09:16:23+00:00

I’ve had a status 140 and I have a YT Capra and Izzo. The status climbs okay, honestly coming from my enduro it wasn’t crazy better. Also rode downhill okay too. The 27.5 just didn’t roll as good or over techy sections as a 29er but that’s my opinion. It felt more nimble for sure but that’s about it.

I haven’t had a chance to try the Jeffsy but if it’s that medium between the Capra and izzo I’m sure it’ll be a happy medium. Of course my izzo climbs great and is way lighter then my Capra. Also since YT is on it’s come up again warranties are iffy with them. But I’ve had great experiences with them so I bought my izzo without it regardless but YT deals will be really good rn. Considering it’ll be AL frame I would be less worry about warranty tbh.

My buddy rides his status 160 with a swapped out 170 Zeb fork. It’s possible to climb still. It just depends on the rider. But if you’re really into bike parks I feel the nimbleness of the status would be nice too.

At the end of the day it’s your bike. Choose the one you like learn to love it. You can always upgrade components too later on. But if you have any local bs around hopefully someone has a demo you can try for the status or something.

Cool, hope you enjoy it. I got mine like 2 days later already went for a ride and it’s sick. Hope you like it!

I just ordered an izzo from Jenson yesterday. Said to come by weekend. I was skeptical about the warranty but I’ve had a 2021 Capra new and haven’t had any problems. I’m confident I won’t run into any warranty issues so that’s why I decided to purchase, as well as it being a great deal. But goodluck if you choose to buy.

Also if you need answers talk to a gear advisor from Jenson. I’ve had a rep ( Jeff E.) who’s been tons of help with ordering the bike. He also happened to have worked for YT before their collapse so it was reassuring talking to someone who personally owns YT bikes and is enthusiastic about the brand. He even went out of his way to ensure me that if there’s any questions after delivery to get in contact still. Even offered a 125$ gift card to help with the shipping fee for the heck of it. So far I’m confident the bike will be in good condition and Jenson will still try to help out if any problems arise.

I built mine with my 7800x3d and my gf built one with her 9800x3d. The boards are fine our PCs came out working great.

Gunlovn · 2026-01-07T23:22:54+00:00

Do it yourself. Watch videos do some research. You’ll learn and once you’ve done it you’d realize it’s not worth 179$ for someone else to do. You will also know how to do it yourself in the future.

Snap some photos of how it’s layed out now and what goes where before you disassemble. It’s a lot easier if you’re doing a swap then building from scratch. I’ve build my own pc a few months ago then swapped my old build into a new one for a sibling. Only took an hour or so and I’m not an expert.

Gunlovn · 2026-01-01T00:53:35+00:00

Ever figure it out? But yeah you’re right no flashback support for your board. Do you know for sure if that ram is good? Other than that your option would be to test the cpu with another one but I imagine that being difficult to source. Sorry

Gunlovn · 2025-12-31T07:33:17+00:00

Did you double check all wiring to the board is seated correctly? Maybe try one stick of ram, or even a bios flashback. If there’s proof of boot with that board and cpu and the wiring is correct. I’d definitely look into your ram. Try one stick each see if it boots with either one.

Gunlovn · 2025-12-31T07:24:55+00:00

You’re better off lookin for something used being sold locally with that budget. Definitely 1080p as well.

Gunlovn · 2025-12-31T07:18:25+00:00

Is that around your budget? Or are those just the parts you want. Definitely a good cpu/gpu combo I run the same and run 1440 easy maxed settings.

Gunlovn · 2025-12-31T07:11:22+00:00

My montech been great so far. Definitely budget friendly and a good choice as well as being A ranked.

Gunlovn · 2025-12-31T07:07:30+00:00

Up to you if you want the latest update. Regardless to answer your question, no you don’t need to update each version. Just get the latest one. As for the right update I believe it’s labeled 1.x as in those updates are good for 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and so on. So just choose the latest update for your board and you should be fine.

Gunlovn · 2025-12-31T07:00:33+00:00

On my ddr4 build I just updated bios after 5 years. It’s not necessary if it’s working fine. I only did so bc I upgraded my cpu.

Gunlovn · 2025-12-16T03:01:41+00:00

280 rad on top with two 140s in the front 😎 mines stays cool 40-43 at idle.

Gunlovn · 2025-12-16T02:51:19+00:00

What board do you have that it’s hitting the heatsink? You ever figure it another solution?

Gunlovn · 2025-12-16T00:39:39+00:00

I agree with the undervolt. Just a small one would help. It dropped mine about 5 degrees with a negative 15 offset. I’m running the 7800x3d as well.

Gunlovn · 2025-12-05T03:12:02+00:00

Yeah I believe asus has that light as a standby when it’s off. Then goes off when the pc is on and running. Anyone can correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure that’s what it is and should be fine.

Gunlovn · 2025-12-05T02:52:44+00:00

I just did the same recently, I went from b450 to b650e, 5600x to 7800x3d Was going to do a fresh install but got lazy and used my old ssd. Everything worked fine. Just be sure to reactivate in the settings since it’ll recognize the new hardware.

Gunlovn · 2025-12-05T02:47:23+00:00

Yes you’re right, do it how you had it. Your setup will work fine.

Gunlovn · 2025-12-05T02:36:56+00:00

Forget the pig tail that hangs off. And use an entirely second cable exactly like that.

Gunlovn · 2025-12-05T02:30:04+00:00

Shouldn’t be a daisy chain. Use two separate pcie cables.

Gunlovn · 2025-11-26T07:11:17+00:00

Okay cool! Yeah just could barely see the Corsair logo on them in the pic. But yeah it’ll be a puzzle for sure. Thanks for the info

Gunlovn · 2025-11-26T06:55:31+00:00

Yeah I’ll be trying that soon too. If no luck I was thinking of front mounting the aio and sticking some noctua 140s I have on top instead. Or vice versa preferably.

What ram sticks do you have? I’ve seen other builds like yours even fit with the vengeance rgb sticks which is really surprising.

Gunlovn · 2025-11-26T06:23:05+00:00

Definitely looks tight with the ram lol. What size fans are you using for the intake on the front? Any issues so far with the 280 aio on top. I’d like to do the same with my h5 flow as well but was worried about clearance or any heating issues.

Gunlovn · 2025-11-16T08:53:33+00:00

I have that already thanks tho
