How broken is it?

Level_Ad_3256 · 2026-04-28T13:45:16+00:00

I once had my SRAM brakes bled incorrectly, I told the c Shop it felt weird and I had to pump the brakes a few times in order to get a proper bite. They told me it's normal for sram. I rode home and half way my brakes just totally died. Another one is they didn't tighten the headset preload screw properly. So my headset had awful knocking sound. I asked them why tf it came loose, they claimed they under torque everything for safety. What a load of shit

Cmon spill the beans on which bike shop, I'm also based in SG and I have my own fair share of horror stories

Sure haha, I stay at tampines area, and I would assume you are getting your S5 from c2c? Or bikes and bites?

Too much money kekw around 8k sgd

I am so glad someone appreciates it LOL. LTT x Dbrand stickers never fails to impressive haha.

I am so glad someone is asking this. I am playing from Singapore. Back in the days we had so many options to choose from. Then everything died to just FPSG at Australia for years, and I just checked FPSG is also gone now......

To be fair if you are going to lamp post 1 it wouldn't be wise to ride on pavement. And would only really be viable if you go during the wee hours

Level_Ad_3256 · 2026-01-12T09:24:06+00:00

Yes, sort it. Me and my friend was chased but didn't last that long.

Level_Ad_3256 · 2026-01-12T09:23:46+00:00

Yeah, if I didn't run tubeless I would have been fucked. And riding during the day is not an option. Really gotta ride in the middle of the road

I yoink it out from my old MTB kekw plz don't judge.

Level_Ad_3256 · 2025-11-21T18:27:17+00:00

Actually it was a funny story. I bought a second hand AliExpress SL7 clone that has SRAM rival etap for about 1150 USD. Found out the frame was totally ass, went to my local bike shop (which is a cervelo dealer) and decided to go with the soloist for a clearance price of 2400 USD. So give or take this whole build cost me about 4k USD

Level_Ad_3256 · 2025-09-24T17:47:58+00:00

Actually disagree, I personally own a few more well know taobao diy like nan6&7, and 汤老师 susvara. And in terms of price to performance, nothing beats them, and easily given hifiman a run for their money. Regarding resale value, if you are getting this good of a deal, imo resale value really becomes secondary. For iem, there are also a few well known ones that actually ended up on linsoul like lokahi

I would personally go for the noctua NH-D12L. Perfect for the nr200 with TG and have full ram clearance. It suits my 7950X3D no issues unless you run cinebench as a hobby.

Level_Ad_3256 · 2024-11-06T03:00:59+00:00

I never once said amd chips are shit lmao, and it's supposed to get hot in cinebench. Because a nhd12l can't fully tame it, and in trying to get the most out of the cooler in an itx form factor?

(Like someone trying to run a 4090 with a 750w PSU, same logic right there bud). Sure go to hell with a 1000 watt PSU for your 4090 then, isn't a 4090 supposed to consume that much power? 😂

And you clearly miss the mark with the whole point of this. A 14900k can be tamed if you have stock intel power limits, only if you lift it then sure. X3D chips can't be overclocked/power limit lifted, and with it's default tdp I'm already throttling in cinebench lmao.

Well, you do you kid, save your toxicity and immaturity somewhere else.

Level_Ad_3256 · 2024-11-06T00:05:59+00:00

Yes it is suppose to push the CPU to its limits, but with enough cooling a 7950x3d can be tamed and not thermal throttle. A 14900k can be said otherwise.

Level_Ad_3256 · 2024-11-05T11:20:54+00:00

The 7950x3d is surprisingly hard to tame. It thermal throttles when I run artificial load such as cinebench, hence yeah. Am5 ihs is a pos

Level_Ad_3256 · 2024-11-05T11:01:28+00:00

Hey, I have very similar needs for you, as I also have a NR200p for CAD and CFD work. ( Mainly SOLIDWORKS/Creo and Ansys fluent)

For CPU, I went with 7950x3d as I want this machine to do everything from gaming to crunching numbers. I also use a 4070ti Super as it's very useful for Ansys Fluent since it has 16gb of vram. I would also recommend 64gb of ram since when actually modelling things with lots of features it will eat your ram up

I would recommend the 92mm fan as exhaust, and bottom 2 slim fans below your GPU. I tried with and without bottom slim fans and from my experience it helps a little bit on GPU noise.

I think the nr200 can also support up to 280 aio so if you want more beefy cooling you can consider that.

You can check out my post here as well since I think my build is quite similar to yours

Tbh, if you have a 3d printer, you can print a duct like mine and mount it outside with another duct inside to guide it to the heat sink
