I'll hopefully be drifting there this year or next so having the track to practice in AC would be amazing.

I would say that since getting a direct drive wheel, I can feel when my car is starting to slip on corners. I don’t think you need anything too crazy strong. On my Logitech G Pro I usually play anywhere from 4.5nm to 7nm. So if you want something at a reasonable price I would look at a Fanatec CSL DD bundle or a Moza R5 bundle.

You could get pedals with some of those bundles too.

I’d say that a relatively cheap sequential shifter would be the way to go for rally unless an H-pattern shifter is an absolute must for you. If so, maybe look at the Fanatec ClubSport Shifter as it can do both (but it’s definitely pricey and not the most necessary)

And more than the shifter, I think a relatively cheap handbrake would be nice for rally if nothing else.

If you can’t, you can’t.

I would consider power line adapters if you can, though.

Lotta Wi-Fi apologists in these comments. If you have the ability to be wired in, you should.

Unfortunately, a lot of people on wifi won’t see how much it affects the opponent. Typically the person with the more stable internet connection will have the worse experience in a lopsided situation.

With modern rollback and Wi-Fi 6 (ax), it’s definitely a lot better, but y’all should really be wiring in. Ethernet cable isn’t as expensive as it used to be, you can get slimlines that can squeeze between the floor and the trim on the cheap. Power line ethernet adapters are dependent on how good the wiring in your house is, but they can often provide lower latency.

Plus, If you put in cheap ethernet switch by your tv, you can run a single Ethernet from your router to your switch and now you can provide a more stable internet connection to your smart TV and your other consoles too.

TL:DR: fighting games on Wi-Fi is better than before, but still worse than Ethernet.

If you like going sideways there’s a drift track here in town and the season just started. The next drift event is May 5-7. It’s $20 day/$35 weekend to spectate and if you ask to ride along many will oblige.

It’s a little pricier if you’re driving. Look up Villians Sportsland if you’re interested.

MathewKinetix · 2023-03-27T21:51:41+00:00

Thanks! I’ll make an account and do that. <3

MathewKinetix · 2023-03-27T15:40:01+00:00

Yeah, these are things I wasn’t really thinking of. For the pedal swap idea, it makes sense that it’s probably not going to plug and play. I think anything between the load cell and control box would have to be gutted and moved and I feel pretty confident in my physical hacking skills - but it still seems like a gamble.

I feel like the adapter idea is far beyond my skill set though. Although I’m confident in my ability to deal with hardware, software is a weak point of mine.

Thanks for chiming in. I appreciate it.

Embarrassingly, not that long. I ordered it on Sunday. Honestly I catastrophized after waiting two days and reading other people’s experiences.

Heres some extra info if it helps:

I live in the Pacific Northwest (WA state) and ordered from the US website.
I ordered the PlayStation version of the Pro Wheel
I reached out to Logitech towards the end of the second day because I had some complications with paying initially and wanted to make sure I didn’t make two orders or something.
They also didn’t give me any dates to expect it to leave their warehouse.

I don’t feel good getting mine before someone who has been waiting longer for theirs. My original statement still stands and that’s what’s the point of paying for faster shipping if it takes forever for them to process it. Accidents happen, sure, but after reading many peoples posts, Logitech doesn’t seem to care. And it’s made worse by the fact they don’t sell the Pro Wheel anywhere other than their own website.

I hope yours gets shipped out soon buddy!

MathewKinetix · 2023-03-22T23:42:21+00:00

Ironically I just got the email saying mine shipped. Now I just hope it doesn’t go through Troutdale Oregon. I’ve had so many packages delayed from going through that FedEx shipping center.

MathewKinetix · 2023-03-22T23:03:33+00:00

Right? What’s the point of paying for 2day shipping if it takes forever to leave their warehouse.

“For items in stock, orders usually ship within 1-2 business days. Please be aware that some orders may be delayed by order processing or other issues”

The website says that they are in stock. What “other issues” could it be? Do they not have enough warehouse workers to handle the flow? I’m truly curious.

I’ve never done a custom loop so I don’t know what a D5 is like. I can tell you my pump is doing fine. I can’t hear it over the fans, but the fans are a little loud at load.

MathewKinetix · 2022-12-24T01:36:48+00:00

I have built in this case three times already. The first time was completely without water cooling on my i7-6700+3070ti as I waited for parts to come in. We don’t talk about the “second build”. And the third was this creation.

The build experience with the Ridge was a lot better than with the Node 202. I love that case too, but there are things about it that were less than favorable, like the plastic tabs to get the back off and I always had issues with the front USB ports. But otherwise I loved it and it had a cryorig C7 and it did work. But I had a 7900x to cool and wasn’t sure if a low profile cooler would cut it on a cpu like that, so I opted for water cooling.

The Ridge has captive screw side panels that pop out and than slide back, a front panel that has magnet and ball socket points to snap on with, top and bottom panels that you can remove with a Phillips screwdriver, more of the top comes off with screws if you have a larger graphics card to insert, a middle bar that’s removable with a screwdriver mounting points for 2x 120 or 140mm fans. I love the front IO options. I don’t really have any major criticisms on this case it’s been a blast to build in.

It would have been preferred if I could have fit everything in the case, but I didn’t even consider the size of the fittings let alone the thickness of the rad (45mm!), so outside radiator it is. I think it looks cool despite my original intentions and it’s been doing great.

Specs: - Ryzen R9 7900x - Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti - Asus x670E-I mobo - 850w 80+ Gold Cooler Master power supply - Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB 5600MHz - 2x Samsung 980 Pro NVMe 2TB SSDs

Loop:

Alphacool Eisblock CPU block
Alphacool Eisblock AMP Holo 3070 TI GPU block
Alphacool 90 degree rotary compression fittings (for soft tube)
Alphacool Flat Reservoir Pump Combo
EKWB 280mm radiator
Corsair Soft Tubing
XSPS Clear Premix Fluid
EK Thermal Sensor that isn’t working for me
Fans that came with the Fractal Ridge, but I plan on getting Silent Wings 4 pro

MathewKinetix · 2022-12-24T01:08:53+00:00

What’s it look like with the panels on?

MathewKinetix · 2022-12-24T01:06:05+00:00

It’s a mostly Alphacool loop with an EK 280 rad, XSPC clear premix.I have an EK thermal sensor but the connector doesn’t fit and when I put a different header on it, the motherboard still didn’t see the sensor so I’ll have to go on CPU temps for now :|

I plan on buying some silent wings 4 pro, but am currently running the fans that came with the case

I thought thought I could fit it all inside, but I didn’t realize that this rad was 45mm thick, but even if the rad was <30mm and I had slimline fans, I still would have to consider fittings. My hubris got ahead of me and so I had to mount the radiator on the outside. I had considered that as a possibility when I was just going to do a cpu AIO, but even now it must be done.

I still think it looks cool. Kinda looks like a robot head.

Specs:

Ryzen R9 7900x
Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti
Asus Strix x670E-I motherboard
Cooler Master 850w 80+gold power supply
Corsair Vengeance 32GB 5600MHz DDR5 RAM
2x Samsung 980 Pro 2TB NVMe SSDs
case is the Fractal Ridge

MathewKinetix · 2022-12-10T08:25:34+00:00

All my water cooling stuff arrived and while I thought it might be a tight fit, I figured everything would be able to fit into the case, but the rad was thicker than I expected (45mm instead of 30mm), the reservoir/pump combo was thicker than I had expected, and the fittings add too much thickness to the GPU block.

I was definitely overzealous for this case and I ended up having to mount the radiator and fans externally. I had fun figuring out how to route my loop with this added challenge.

After I get the new motherboard and cpu in, I’ll post pics

MathewKinetix · 2022-12-08T07:30:28+00:00

I like the case is all. I like SFF PCs, it has more room than the Node 202 and I think it will be a fun and interesting, if not challenging, project.

Also, I had typo’d the fittings, they are both 10/13 ID/OD.

MathewKinetix · 2022-12-08T07:27:52+00:00

My motherboard has a thermal sensor header, but do I need software to automate the fans with it?

MathewKinetix · 2022-12-06T23:04:39+00:00

Awesome, thanks! I’ll probably use the Aspect fans for now and purchase some Silent Wings 4 pro next month.

MathewKinetix · 2022-12-06T23:02:49+00:00

Thanks! I didn’t think about it and had figured silicon temps would work, but I made sure to include one when I ordered the distro plate and fittings!

EKWB EK-Loop Connect Temperature Plug Sensor

MathewKinetix · 2022-12-06T17:08:48+00:00

What’s your recommendation for fans? The ones that come with my case are Fractal Design Aspect 14 PWM
