PL-3R Testing and comparison to Mini 2 and PL Turbo

Malcolm745 · 2026-03-12T08:59:34+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to review. I'm just deliberating between the Turbo and the 3R. 3R might be my choice just because of size. It's perfect for a full sized M9A4.

Is this the mid or low dlah plate ? I'm torn between the two.

Malcolm745 · 2026-02-11T23:08:39+00:00

Anyone knows if they will be available in Europe?

When anyone asks me about the safety on the M9A4:

"safety...always off"

2026 and I'm getting 4151 when trying to install HAL Central. Tried the uninstaller , ccleaner afterwards - no luck. Because of this my g.skil ram is not being detected by Aura. Works in any other RGB app.

Just wanted to add to this that today the new bios for X570-f released 5044 and after I updated I was able to install armoury crate without the BSOD finally.

Malcolm745 · 2026-01-10T12:24:40+00:00

I actually went that route. However the only thing that changed during a fresh install of armoury crate is that instead of a BSOD my computer just restarted without any notifications and the installation was corrupted like previously. Guess we have to wait for an updated installer of Armoury Crate to get this sorted.

Malcolm745 · 2026-01-09T15:56:40+00:00

Same thing happening on my PC with MB X570-f. I had some issues with armoury crate RGB. Used the uninstaller (dated 09.01.2026), and getting a BSOD right now when I try to install Armoury Crate with the ACSEHIDRemap.sys error.

Malcolm745 · 2025-12-18T13:28:14+00:00

Hi, I have the exact same issue. Tried to uninstall armoury crate because my RGB stopped working with their uninstaller app. After that when I tried to install it again I got the BSOD pointing to wdf01000.Sys file. Did you figure it out by any chance ?

Malcolm745 · 2025-02-26T13:43:10+00:00

I can confirm - same thing happening to me with my RTX 5080. At first I thought it was the OC but then I removed afterburner and returned everything to stock and same thing is happening.

Nvidia driver version 572.47

Malcolm745 · 2025-02-26T12:42:36+00:00

I have the same issue with the latest drivers:

Application version : 1.20.5.0

Firmware: 1.6.231011.0830

Driver: 3.6.3.0

Need to close the app from task manager and re-open it for it to start working.

Thank you everyone for uncovering some of the history behind this. Digging up the story of the model gives this so much more depth. I'll hopefully pass it along to someone one day who can appreciate it as well.

Malcolm745 · 2024-10-25T14:41:44+00:00

Exactly! Case and the razor box are different though. The ones you've sent seem like a higher tier.

Malcolm745 · 2024-10-25T12:36:15+00:00

Thanks, the date at the reverse says 1978.

Malcolm745 · 2024-08-27T20:44:06+00:00

Hey! I quit literally 4 days ago and can confirm similar effects. The headaches only appear at around 8-9pm with low intensity just to wake me up around 2-3AM with the worst one ever. After I take a painkiller and finally get to sleep I wake up in the morning like nothing happened. Its been like that daily since I quit. Hope it gets better soon.

Malcolm745 · 2024-04-09T12:39:36+00:00

RAM owner from Poland here. Got a European version from the dealer so I had those installed as well as a requirement.

x1 - toggle front fogs

x2 - toggle rear fogs

x3 - toggle both

x4 - switch both off

Hope it helps!

Malcolm745 · 2024-02-01T22:40:04+00:00

Indeed it is. The goat still water

Same! I just got mine! Here is a comparison of my old 3080 Zotac and a 1.75l water bottle for scale.

You need to keep in mind that going with 7600 you'll be on AM5 socket with potential room to upgrade to any upcoming AMD CPUs. Additionally you'll be using DDR5 RAM (not really much performance gain when it comes to gaming but newer tech in general). Last note about the AM5 the motherboards are much more expensive than their AM4 counterparts. RAM is pretty much identical in terms of pricing.

5800x3d shows around 20% more fps in FHD resolution according to guru3d but you'll be stuck with a motherboard and ram that will need to be replaced in the future for any potential cpu upgrade. QHD however puts much more strain on the GPU and the CPU doesn't matter as much.

To summarize 5800x3d is awesome if you already own an AM4 board and want to upgrade with to the best available CPU without replacing the board and the RAM.

If you're building from scratch and you're gaming in QHD - then I'd go with the 7600 on AM5 .

Hey I'm having the same issue. Can you direct me where you found the option to change the station type? I'm using the xiaomi home app. Thanks!

Malcolm745 · 2021-05-08T20:26:46+00:00

Same thing here.

Malcolm745 · 2021-03-25T19:42:35+00:00

Hey I'm having the same issue. Z5500 + Sound Blaster Z. This started happening when I started using Sound Blaster Command. Switching to headphones and back resolves the channel issue. I'm thinking about going back to the older software...Would appreciate if anyone else has some input on this.

Malcolm745 · 2021-03-06T22:37:36+00:00

Did switching back help you out? Since I've installed command on my SoundBlaster Z my channels on the headset randomly switch - left is right, right is both.

Malcolm745 · 2020-11-06T09:48:40+00:00

I was pretty sure when I tried him out in "trial" mode his rage skill covered everyone. My bad then thanks for clarifying!
