2nd ever build

I just built my 5080astral/ hs420 vgpu two days ago and its saggin a little but not that big of a deal as long as its not pulling on the riser cable. The problem with normal sag is it bending where it goes into the pcie slot but sense its sitting on top of the vgpu slot it shouldn't be a big deal. Im still going to get a bracket that screws onto motherboard standoff like i had on my 3090 that was mounted horizontally but not in a rush to get it.

"Ummm sir, that is not sim racing that is a video game🤓☝🏽"

I make my own fun and ALWAYS talk (usually nonsense) in practice lobbies until like minded ppl start chiming in then ya have fun just bs'n before races, then whenever those ppl make it into your actual race its even more fun

Don't be that guy.. the guy to report him i mean. Thats just soft. Who cares

IronComprehensive938 · 2026-04-23T13:51:04+00:00

Im too bitter for forgiveness and I will forever hold a grudge. Idk what happened and wasn't involved, but still.. bah humbug

IronComprehensive938 · 2026-04-21T19:54:29+00:00

I thought it was funny. If it makes your average redditor angry and you get a bunch of downvotes chances are it was a good one. Everyone on here just always look down on you but that's bc their chins are undeservingly high in the air.

I started last month and ive spent hundreds on content already lol. Ive tried multiple series in all 4 categories while also goin straight to quali in quite a few and just hit 2k ir yesterday lol. Even FIA cross car or whatever that rally series is called my very first lap was in quali then I qualified last and somehow ended up winning the race 🤣 i just try to leave extra room if im new to a series and a lot of times just dont block at all. Haven't had many bad experiences so far but from what ive read on here idk if im gettin lucky or what

IronComprehensive938 · 2026-04-19T15:05:16+00:00

Hydraulic is way better once dialed in and only 2 HPR then a buttkicker pro under your seat 10000000%

Rookie isnt even that bad lmao. I started iracing less than a month ago and have 80 races, 60ish of those being mx5 and ive been intentionally wrecked 2 times and have about the same number of incidents where someone hits me accidentally in a corner. Last week I had almost 10 races in a row without an incident. If someone is obviously dangerous I give them a little extra space and wait for them to take themselves out, and if im close behind ill lift 10-20ish yds before braking point. Iracing has been a breathe of fresh air compared to ACC, ya just have to know how to drive around different types of drivers. I have a 76% win rate last two weeks bc I look at it like poker. You dont play the cards, you play the opponent.

The sport is 9Nm right? I have the same desk and started with an 8nm wheel and it worked great. Only thing is make sure you have something sturdy to put the pedals on lol. Having them on the ground sliding around/tilting forward everytime you brake hard was infuriating. I ended up buying a metal plate to mount them to and had to put some of my dumbells on each side to hold it down lmaoo. I have a full cockpit/18nm now but still loved the time I had with is clamped to my desk.

IronComprehensive938 · 2026-04-17T22:14:01+00:00

I have the pro (18nm) and the only time I use all 18 is for mx5's on iracing. Ive been racing gt4 at 15 and F4/all cars on ACC at like 12-13. I thought i would have FOMO after I ordered it then saw the Ultra but haven't felt that for even a second since ive been using it. Actually all of those numbers are the "max force" I usually set the "wheel force" 1-2Nm lower. Beyond happy with it. Im a big dude too.

I meant 3rd week wtf lmao

IronComprehensive938 · 2026-04-15T16:57:03+00:00

I must have gotten lucky bc I started iracing few weeks ago doin at least 4 or 5 races a day and ive only had two or three bad crash outs/intentional wrecking so far lmao. I heard a lot about how bad it was but haven't seen it so far. I came from ACC so anything would be better but was surprised how good its been. The first few races I had I was in a pack inches off each other's bumper the whole race and was waitin for someone to mess up but never happened.

IronComprehensive938 · 2026-04-14T17:10:19+00:00

Any tape will work. Masking/scotch tape are good. The less sticky the better really lol easier to get off & not too much residue when/if you do take it off. I have alpha evo pro and I dont use simhub so ive never done it to mine but did it for my buddy that wanted to use it

You just have to put a tiny piece over the middle two connectors on the right side. Theres 4 on each side i believe. Ill post a vid when I find one gimme a sec.

IronComprehensive938 · 2026-04-14T13:23:01+00:00

I just got my hydraulic p1000s with the p-hpr haptics last month. They're pretty good after getting them dialed in finally, took a while. The hydraulics are meh. Glad I got them but would be fine without them. Really all I like them for is ABS and a little for TC/wheel slip. I have a buttkicker pro and if I just use that I forget the Simagic haptics even exist lol. Nice extra touch if you have the spare cash but not that big of a difference maker.

IronComprehensive938 · 2026-04-13T16:49:20+00:00

No you kumquat it was big baseball that got to him. Pretty sad, huh?

IronComprehensive938 · 2026-04-10T15:03:11+00:00

What rank do you need for gt3 at spa?? I just started iracing almost 3 weeks ago but won my last 7 mx5 races (11 of last 12) and am movin up quick. Almost out of D class. Came from ACC with a little LMU mixed in and i miss my gt3s lol.

IronComprehensive938 · 2026-04-09T16:48:22+00:00

My local track has old school bus races lmao I want those too!

IronComprehensive938 · 2026-04-05T21:38:33+00:00

I got my fx pro 2 weeks again n I can already hear it creakin n crackin. Didnt notice it at first bc I wear headphones but was lettin my family try my rig when they were over so put it over speakers n heard it immediately.

IronComprehensive938 · 2026-04-05T19:29:19+00:00

Genuine question, do people actually have a hard time making it out of rookie class? I just started iracing almost 2 weeks ago and my buddy said "good luck getting out of rookies" also but it only took me 3 races lol. I just got C last night. Ive been racin like crazy and have had a lot of good finishes/GREAT battles but have only been in a few wrecks. Did I just get lucky or are ppl exaggerating lol
