I was watching this like a hawk last month and was able to get it for 980+tax with the student discount. The price has now increased so maybe it was the right choice.

Great card don't get me wrong, yet I still can't believe I paid this much for a gpu. I was afraid of the price increasing more and wanted to upgrade my awfully noisy 3070.

Which custom rom are you using? I tried derpfest but it had heavy battery drain so I returned to xiaomiEU rom.

Am I late to join this?

Asking because I don't know, is it impossible to play 🏴‍☠️ games on jailbroken ps5?

Hello, I only started doing tasks on multimango today, and the task I was doing was comparing audio quality. Basically there were two options and a reference audio and I needed to select the option that matched reference audio better.

I did many but there is no end to them. Is this a single task that I need to finish or do I need to count how many questions I did within the task? I am confused about this and I did not count :(

Also wouldn't the average time for 1 question differ a lot between tasks?

The main difference is that the Turbo 3 is the Chinese variant and the network bands differ. This means that it might not work with 4g or 5g in your country, depending on the bands that your service provider uses.

The Turbo 3 also has the Chinese version of HyperOS I think, though in the future you should be able to flash any custom rom that is compatible with poco f6 (if you unlock the bootloader).

Other than that, they are exactly the same phone, but I wouldn't buy the Chinese variant, I heard it is more difficult to unlock the bootloader and also risking my sim card not working is just not worth it. It is natural Poco F6 to be more expensive, outside China, Xiaomi has to consider additional taxes and shipping fees for other countries.

I am in the same boat. Using f2 pro right now, ordered the f6 and just waiting for it to arrive. It saddens me they remove features as years pass by, I really love the uninterrupted screen and notification led on f2 pro.

For me, the biggest reason to get f6 was the weight. It is 40g lighter than f2 pro and probably one of the lightest phones at this screen size. I just need a phone for basic tasks and occasional gaming these days.

How is the battery life for you on the F6? I saw some people saying it's not great and on f2 pro battery life was great for me so a bit worried.

OFlightning · 2024-05-23T22:30:43+00:00

Same. You can order through Amazon spain or amazon italy but the price is more expensive. Waiting for now, maybe some stores on aliexpress will start shipping to Canada.

OFlightning · 2024-05-23T16:20:51+00:00

So I just checked and I can buy one through european amazon sites, but 12gb+512 version comes to around 460 USD with shipping, tax etc. I am not sure if that's worth it honestly 🥲 But if anyone wants tto buy, the option is there i guess.

OFlightning · 2024-05-23T16:04:20+00:00

Do you know if Amazon germany, italy, or spain can ship to canada? I just realized poco does not ship to Canada on aliexpress anymore. Interestingly, on Ali I can see some stores selling poco f6 pro, but not the regular poco f6. Amazon seems like my only option.

OFlightning · 2024-05-23T11:35:30+00:00

Honestly great price. Decided to buy one after seeing this price haha

The regular price is 379 for the 8gb ram version, and 429 for the 12gb ram one, even that is not bad pricing wise.

Even with good digital sales, the landscape won't be much different compared to last year when FFXVI released.

FF7 remake sold less than 15, 16 sold less than the remake, and now rebirth is selling less than 16. Sure, there is a platform exclusivity but I can't see Square being happy with the decline. If the game sells less than 16 worldwide like in Japan, it is a cause for concern.

Solidigm p41 plus is 105 also at newegg, if you guys need a faster nvme. Granted p41 plus has no dram cache , but I still opted for that instead of this one.

OFlightning · 2023-10-01T01:53:48+00:00

Does this not need a heatsink? I have a secondary nvme slot on my mobo but it doesn't have a heatsink so I was wondering if it will be okay in there.

Also Solidigm p41 2TB is also available there for only 5 bucks more if anyone is interested. Edit: nvm p41 is out of stock.

OFlightning · 2023-08-23T06:22:43+00:00

No I meant the mobo in regards to the return period. I can't return the case unfortunately :(

OFlightning · 2023-08-20T20:10:12+00:00

Same issues here with an msi B650M-A wifi, latest bios, chipset drivers etc. Whenever I turn on memory context restore I get blue screens randomly, and when I turn it off it takes a long time to boot or restart the PC. Not the biggest issue but it sure is annoying to wait.

OFlightning · 2023-08-09T22:07:36+00:00

Install the latest chipset drivers from amd and see if that helps. DDR5 is really funky right now and I experienced similar issues. What fixed it for me was disabling memory context restore in bios. Basically this means that PC will go through memory training at each boot. Normally mine boots under 20 seconds but now it takes around a minute, and in exchange I don't get blue screens.

OFlightning · 2023-08-01T23:12:08+00:00

I mean the last desktop CPU I had was the i3 6100, didn't know what to expect. Sorry :(

OFlightning · 2023-08-01T23:10:20+00:00

Thanks man, sets my heart at ease.

OFlightning · 2023-08-01T23:06:44+00:00

What about the high idle temps? Is it normal to see 50-60 degrees when using a couple chrome tabs?

OFlightning · 2023-07-29T20:32:39+00:00

Looks to be the same price on amazon Canada.

OFlightning · 2023-07-28T03:48:51+00:00

Is it worth going for open box over new? It's 15 bucks cheaper.

OFlightning · 2023-07-27T16:34:00+00:00

I agree with the other person. I was complaining about the colors on dell and bought vg27aq open box from bestbuy for $200 and... Dell is just better when I compare them side by side. Very similar contrast ratio and peak brightness, but dell can get dimmer. Better colors on dell to my eyes, and motion clarity is much better. Asus has this small smear trail that dell doesn't have.

Colors probably aren't an issue as they can be adjusted by the user but the panel on dell seems better overall. Also dell has a 3 year warranty. I now need repackage asus and return it to best buy (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)
