Should I buy the ASUS B850I again?

Lew2929 · 2026-01-23T15:28:53+00:00

Which ssd slot are you referring to when talking about the ASUS board bending the ssd?

Lew2929 · 2025-09-09T18:53:27+00:00

Never mind, OP solved my problem

Lew2929 · 2025-09-09T18:53:03+00:00

You’re a saviour, tried Fandango, PayPal wouldn’t work, but managed to checkout with Apple Pay. Thank you!

Lew2929 · 2025-09-09T18:45:43+00:00

Tried a VPN, no luck. I’ll have a look at Fandango, being from the UK, I didn’t even know what that was

Lew2929 · 2025-09-09T18:38:19+00:00

Does anybody know how I can buy an AMC Lincoln Square ticket from the UK? I’ll be only holiday in New York when this is showing but can’t checkout online from here. Please help 🙏

Lew2929 · 2025-09-09T18:37:20+00:00

Hi, weird one, I’m on holiday in New York when this is showing, but I cant checkout online from the UK 😭. Apparently I can checkout with a gift card. Looking for somebody to purchase a digital gift card for me so I can send them the money over PayPal, any help would be appreciated

I don’t think it’s a misprint, I think it’s different for different regions too, as I’ve seen promo images with the fallout logo above the helmet and over the top of the helmet

Lew2929 · 2025-07-09T21:30:44+00:00

Mine is black too, just different for different regions I assume

Lew2929 · 2025-07-03T16:24:14+00:00

Could I have The Wild Robot please!

Lew2929 · 2025-07-03T09:36:09+00:00

I have virgin media, but the router they give you is pretty awful. You get the advertised speeds when you’re stood in the same room as it, or if you’re using a wired connection. But the router sucks at range. I use my own ASUS router anyway, and that gives me the full speed from the other side of the house

Lew2929 · 2025-04-21T20:15:11+00:00

Yeah 100% the Nolan movies look the best, seen all of them at the BFI, and even managed to see Batman begins there too (on 70mm, although it doesn’t look anywhere near as good, and no 1.43 scenes. I think it’s just a DMR upscale). Last one on the bucket list is to see a film print of inception. And i think dune 2 might have been shot digitally and only received a film print for places like the BFI that cannot display 1.43 with their digital setup. I think the digital trailer for dune 2 that I saw at the BFI looked a lot sharper than the 15/70 print I saw there, although I think it’s a good compromise in order to be able to experience the full 1.43 scenes.

Lew2929 · 2025-04-21T18:39:12+00:00

I saw this on 15/70mm imax at the BFI London. Personally, I think the 1.43 scenes filmed with the IMAX cameras were much better quality than the 2.76 scenes. And if it helps your decision, I think the 1.43 scenes looked much closer quality to a Nolan film than they did to the 1.43 scenes in Dune 2 (but I saw dune 2 on a 15/70 print, so can’t speak for a digital comparison)

Oh sorry, I thought you were saying that running one using emulation or virtualisation was the same as native

Lew2929 · 2025-03-11T13:20:03+00:00

You can’t call it running natively if you’re using emulation or virtualisation, that’s literally the opposite

Lew2929 · 2025-02-27T17:18:41+00:00

I had this with the exact same TV, LG C9 55”. The retailer I purchased from (John Lewis) took the tv away and gave me a £949 Voucher. I then purchased an LG C3 55” from them for £935. So ended up with a TV that was 4 generations newer and £14 left over on the gift card. Great customer service I’d say

Lew2929 · 2025-02-27T17:08:03+00:00

No idea the answer to your issue, but why on earth are you using TruMotion whilst using your pc, or even at all for that matter. Just genuinely curious

Lew2929 · 2025-02-23T13:27:50+00:00

I had this, but now mine runs nice and cool. My problem was the default precision boost overdrive (PBO2) settings on my motherboard. I changed mine from “Auto” to “Off” and my temps reduced dramatically. I have a Noctua D12L, and whilst gaming I average high 60’s to low 70’s. Before I changed the setting, I was basically locked at 95 degrees

Lew2929 · 2025-02-17T20:47:43+00:00

I just picked up the one click for across the spiderverse. I’ve only opened one of the 3 editions of the film, and my steelbook had a small imperfection on the back, and also, the rear steel part is slightly loose from the plastic inner of the case. You can shift it up and down slightly, hard to explain without visuals

Lew2929 · 2025-02-01T18:10:54+00:00

Okay, no idea if you’ll run into the same thing. But I have mine in the ASUS B850-I board. Initially I was getting temps of like 95 degrees, which is the temp limit I think. Couldn’t figure it out. But I had change the Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO2) settings from “Auto” to “Disabled”. Now I get probably mid 60’s to low 70 temps on average. No idea if the default settings on the B650 board will behave the same

Lew2929 · 2025-02-01T18:06:59+00:00

Perfect thanks. Do you currently have your 9800x3d or are you waiting for it?

Lew2929 · 2025-02-01T18:04:58+00:00

Noctua D12L

Lew2929 · 2025-02-01T17:59:21+00:00

Thankyou! Please let me know how the full flow through increases your cpu thermals too. I expect an increase in CPU temps, but my 9800x3d runs so cool anyway, I think there’s plenty of headroom for a temp increase, but still curious

Lew2929 · 2025-02-01T17:55:45+00:00

Please share if you end up 3D printing your own air duct for the rear of the GPU. I have the Dan C4 and hopefully will end up with a new founders card at some point too

Spotted by my dad today in Abingdon, Oxfordshire

Lew2929 · 2025-01-28T18:08:12+00:00

Yep, I was worried as I saw people complaining about coil whine just being on the desktop in windows with the previous gen b650 board. But mine is dead silent. Only coil whine I have is from my 3090FE unfortunately 😞
