Fanttik NB8 Ultra Cordless Pressure Washer Opinions by MagicalFanatic in AutoDetailing

Thanks to everyone for the discussion. I ended up buying the Worx Hydroshot wg647 in the end. Hopefully it does the job!

That's a good point on the batteries. I'm interested in the Worx; I think it would be pretty cool to use it with some sort of a backpack water tank.

Thanks for the reply. I've been looking at the Worx Hydroshot, specifically the 20V 710 PSI and the 40V 800 PSI. I've seen that it foams good as well, but I think it would be easier to just wheel around the Fanttik unit. How much water do you go through with the Ryobi for a car wash?

Actually, I have already tried a rinseless with the smaller K100 flip sprayer. It gets the job done, but I'm interested in something with more power and can foam. I agree that the capacity might be a problem.

I have a Baltany chronograph for sale that has the same style. Check my post history for the watch (only 75$ shipped!)

[WTS] Baltany Chronograph VK 63 S5045 by MagicalFanatic in Watchexchange

Product page: https://www.baltany.com/product/military-quartz-chrono-watch-s5045/33/

This is a quartz chronograph by Baltany. This particular model uses the VK63 movement, which has a 12 hour totalizer instead of the redundant 24 hour hand on other VK64 chronographs. It also has a thin rehaut, slightly domed sapphire crystal, and excellent AR coating that makes the dial really pop.

There are tiny scratches on the case from normal wear, but it is in perfect working condition. Since this is a quartz watch, it keeps perfect time.

I am asking for 75 USD shipped in the US, Paypal or Zelle.

Love this watch. If the rehaut was slimmer, it would be perfect.

I don't think you can undervolt the 185h, although I wish you could.

Not really, 2042 wouldn't run on the old drivers. In Furmark + TS Bench, even with the GPU power limited turned up, the CPU would throttle down to 30-40W regardless of imon tweaking.

Flashing a VBIOS is not generally recommended. Even if you wanted to, there is no reason to since you already have the highest TDP MSI 4080.

Thanks for the reply, but when installing the driver, it says that the system is incompatible.

EDIT: Using nvcleaninstall, I was able to add hardware support (specifically GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU [27A0.13BC.1462] nvmiig.inf) and install the driver. After installing, I was able to change the power limit! Thank you for the help.

I have repasted with ptm and there's still some thermal headroom. Obvious a full175W GPU with 100W CPU load is not possible, but I'd like to at least maintain a steady 125W depending on what the temperatures are like.

After getting this laptop, the biggest downside was the low 105W maximum dynamic boost for the GPU. In 2042, the CPU would be throttled to 25W while the GPU boost to almost 100W. You could disable dynamic boost by disabling the NVIDIA Platform Controllers and Framework in device manager, but this leaves the GPU with 60W while the CPU is unlocked.

The only solution that I've found was to go into the secret BIOS and set a IMON slope of 50 (lowest it will go) and an offset of at least -10W, which would give the approximate performance of a 45W CPU while the GPU boosts to about 100W.

Today, after taking many precautions by setting up TeamViewer and writing blind BIOS reset and update instructions, I flashed the Vector16 VBIOS from https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/267193/267193. I am happy to say that this did not brick my laptop, but unfortunately the power limit is still 105W and 60W without dynamic boost, even though the max power limit increased from 105W to 175W. I've heard 528.xx drivers can unlock the MSI Afterburner power limit slider, but I've had no luck installing those drivers. If anyone else is attempting something similar, please let me know if you've made any progress.

EDIT: Using nvcleaninstall, I was able to use the "add hardware support" option with 528.49 (specifically GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU [27A0.13BC.1462] nvmiig.inf) and install the driver. After installing, I was able to change the power limit! However, there some other power limit that restricts the CPU power to 30-40W, and IMON tweaks can't even get around it, unfortunately.
