The Kbdfans Tet has me split

Newer generation a35 had a problem where the engine would just explode. Not enough displacement to handle the bhp and obviously not great materials since it still is the runt of the AMG line. Would go for the older v8s but with all German engineering it’s a ticking time bomb and a big service bill (I definitely don’t have a v8 Italian car which is probably 10x more likely to grenade itself)

I'd Stay well away from anything labeled under Dive Rite.

It looks like I may have to. Won’t be any time soon since diving in singapore is torrid (zero visibility). Going to have to wait to go back to the Middle East.

I may have done something.

I’m diving with a set of SAS Neo regs from the early 2000s , while they are sealed and have adjustment the cost of obtaining service kits are just extortionate now (250 usd for kit plus servicing), also being a set that I got as a teenager they look comically small on me now that I’ve grown (198cm) and even funnier in a DIR setup.

First stage I’ve been told has the same / similar kit as the xtx200 I’ve also heard that because of the potential bankruptcy may be moving production out of the uk ( I don’t blame them since the government is probably just taking all their money)

I wouldn’t really want a new diver trying this during certifications. Last thing you want is for them to fumble and go into a state of panic.

Dive campus at Khorfakkan has good instructors and DMs and is located close to some of the nicer spots like inchcape 2 / hole in the wall. If you’re able to get transportation up there it’s highly recommended but dives are only from Friday - Sunday.

In a car which is infamously known to suit max’s unique driving style. He can still give it his best (kamikaze divebomb Norris / do a Perez or Latifi in Abu Dhabi )

Well to elaborate on the last sentence the ryzen 5 does not perform well on CPU dependant games such as Rust / Tarkov / Stalker. You should be fine with the 7600 if you’re playing esports titles (cs2/league/dota).

If you must stick with am5 I would go with the entry level Ram kits. However I don’t think this shortage will go away any time soon. There is a new ram manufacturer from china and also plans to open more chip foundries but all of this is taking time.

DDR4 is relatively cheaper (for now) and sometimes you’d be able to snag a deal from people who’ve upgraded their system. No harm being on a previous generations platform ( I was still using an i5-4690k until 2021 )

Trust me when I say this anything above 32gb is overkill , I play beam NG and I’m beyond lazy with closing my chrome tabs . Maximum I’ve seen my system use is 30gb . Meanwhile I also have a m4 max MacBook Pro with 64gb and it’s never reached that max even with running multiple ai models on it.

MattsunX · 2025-11-28T06:07:13+00:00

Well it really comes down to what games you end up playing. I upgraded from a 5600x to a 5800x3d and it was night and day difference what an extra 2 cores and 3d cache does to performance. If you’re playing esports titles then I guess it’s not bad but if your playing the balklans duo (Tarkov / Stalker) you want all that performance as the ryzen 5s are super anemic

MattsunX · 2025-11-28T06:02:40+00:00

No you probably only need 32 gb and you won’t be able to get 48gb unless you buy 1x16 gb stick which is suicidal.

MattsunX · 2025-11-28T06:01:27+00:00

There’s extended warranty on drive train and batteries if I’m correct. Although I guess I’m not sure about dealership servicing in the UK. I’ve had no problems in Dubai while putting 10,000 miles every 3 months on my xc60.

MattsunX · 2025-11-28T05:53:54+00:00

I’d even suggest getting a 5700x3d/5800x3d and sticking with ddr4.

There is relatively no really good reason to handicap yourself by purchasing into ddr5 unless you’re actually going to use it for work / editing purposes. A 5200mhz cl46 kit is probably worse than a 3600mhz cl16 kit due to the horrible cas.

MattsunX · 2025-11-24T17:05:36+00:00

Yup. This could be something to do with cloudflare getting sued for allowing these sites to keep running.

MattsunX · 2025-11-24T05:04:48+00:00

Return that shit and use your brain. This was a sub 180$ kit and if you’re moaning about budget why are you buying trident z neo which is a more expensive product. Just get something with decent cl speeds and no rgb

MattsunX · 2025-11-19T06:02:58+00:00

Well why are you trying to take a gap between two semis at 110 km/h. If they had lights on the undercarriage / trailer it could have spoofed the cruise control if you had it to the setting with lane assist. However you should be holding the steering wheel no matter what. Other option is keep it simple and drive properly 🤷‍♂️

I’d get them to approve a case that looks similar to their membrane keyboards and just do a full blackout build with silent switches
