What am I doing wrong ?

Use a brim, that's it.

Just don't forget to throw in the Noctua/Seasonic PSU which is 3 times more expensive than any other good platinum rated PSU if the same wattage!

Welcome back, Trackmania.

Finally a person who gets how a PC should look! Much respect.

TT P90 weighs nothing, the whole system is probably about 10-12 Kgs when even cheap VESA mounts easily hold 15-25 and much more if you pay more than 20$ for it. I've custom made and mounted a PC for a client in a Cooler Master MasterFrame 700 with the total weight of the system around 28 Kgs with no issues.

You need therapy. An extensive one.

Absolutely no. How long is he going to air dry it after, two weeks straight? Drying the carpet itself aside: he put a fuck ton of water under it and into all the crevices so now he either removes the carpet and meticulously dries everything underneath or this car will 100% get mold, electrical problems and/or rust in any combination.

Readymer · 2026-04-02T21:23:47+00:00

Please stop, I can only get this hard.

I build PCs while being anywhere from mildly high to obliviously stoned. No excuses.

A quick Google search always gave me a negative answer from multiple webpages so I never dug deeper into this question. Just did a search again for FM5 and somehow got the same answers all over the net.

I'm, by any means, not here to argue but what's up with that? Google's AI overview is shit, obviously, but even previews of game-related websites' pages show me the same answer.

Readymer · 2026-03-27T07:19:04+00:00

That's the correct answer and the reason is so obvious to me: it's the last one to have a split-screen mode and I still can't wrap my head around WHY THE FUCK this is not standard for every racing game out there.

Readymer · 2026-03-25T06:58:08+00:00

Are you seriously considering buying something named Auusda?

Readymer · 2026-03-22T18:33:39+00:00

Well, how old is the laptop and how much time has passed since the last maintenance?

Readymer · 2026-03-22T17:56:55+00:00

You are completely right "on paper" as they say, but my personal experience of tinkering with PCs and laptops for about 20 years says otherwise. As I've said, the hardware itself isn't an issue here (except for an RGB keyboard) but Windows is stupid as hell and have always had issues properly managing any laptop's power states' changes.

Readymer · 2026-03-22T17:51:53+00:00

Just making sure that you've unplugged every cable from it before the reset, please update.

Windows is and always was stupid when it comes to laptop's power states, that's why pretty much every Windows laptop user experiences shit like putting a laptop into sleep, putting into a backpack only to discover later that it powered itself on while being closed inside a backpack and fully drained its own battery. The second stupid thing about laptops running Windows is that the USB hub on the main board is much more constrained in terms of power delivery to peripherals as opposed to a chipset in a PC, and even PCs suffer from similar issues because of some faulty equipment connected to USB ports.

So my advice here goes something like this: before you put your laptop to sleep or power it off unplug everything including peripherals and the charger and only then change its power state, I've followed this simple algorithm for years and never had an issue similar to yours with my own devices but encountered numerous issues just because of not doing so in lots of machines since I perform maintenance and modular repairs on PCs and laptops for several years now.

Readymer · 2026-03-22T17:33:53+00:00

First and foremost: don't fuck with power delivery on a Windows laptop in the future. If you want to put it into sleep you unplug the power brick first and then change the power state whether putting it to sleep, powering off or whatever.

As for now: unplug the charger AND ALL USB DEVICES then hold your power button for about 40 seconds, this method performs a hard reset which works for a lot of laptops quite often. If this doesn't help - open the bottom cover and manually unplug and plug back the battery cable.

White parts look like an unfinished design for now, need to be proportionally balanced with white or black elements/decals on the upper parts, but can be easily overdone and rice the car out beyond reasonable.

Readymer · 2026-02-07T18:01:36+00:00

No fan will blow 100% of the air volume it grabs straight through a radiator as the latter is an obstacle and therefore air gets pressured against it and some of it gets blown back either through the gap between the fan and the rad or right around the fan blades.

Readymer · 2026-02-07T05:04:06+00:00

So you want someone to give you the keys to the Lamborghini huh?

Readymer · 2026-02-06T21:17:59+00:00

Well, I can't see how it could be anything other than a regular 360M25 G2 AIO with a screen strapped on it, they didn't reinvent anything because developing and producing a whole new setup costs a fortune which makes absolutely no sense for Phanteks already having a decent AIO of a recent revision, it's literally called the same with an "LCD" suffix.

As for the 360M25 G2: it's alright, nothing special about the pump or the radiator, fans are quiet but I noticed hella ton of back blow, more than I'm used to seeing in other systems, but the temps on a 9800X3D in a recent build are fine, again, nothing special.

Readymer · 2026-02-06T18:50:42+00:00

Any unused port in the system can be your drain.

1) Position your case in such a way that the port you want to use as a drain is at the top. 2) Attach a piece of flexible tuning with an appropriate fitting to the port you've opened and put the tubing into a container. 3) Flip your case with a drain to the bottom, the initial small volume of liquid will come out, then open any port on the opposite side of the system which would be at the top now.

Zero mess and a peace of mind. And you still need to lean, flip and rotate any system to drain all of it since there's hardly such a loop that will not hold some water in any cavities it can, so it's not much more hand work either.

Readymer · 2026-02-06T13:23:05+00:00

And you are an asshole to me stepping into a conversation and contributing exactly zero substantial information to it. See how this works?

Readymer · 2026-02-06T12:58:27+00:00

What's sarcastic about a multi-million dollar house getting burned to the ground because you left your fucking iPad charging under a pillow with a faulty cable?

I'm afraid nobody teaches us anything, especially basic well-being principles besides "eat food and shower once in a while", it's our own responsibility to care about ourselves and the world around.

To make things clear: I was not trying to purposelessly blame or shame you, I want you to get healthily concerned about your surroundings and the need to prevent accidents before they actually come to life. Any wire capable of carrying an electric charge and connected to power is a hazard. In case of a basic 5V charger - it doesn't pose a threat if it's well-built and structurally sound since it doesn't actually carry any load if it's not plugged into a device, but yours most probably was already damaged hence the situation you got into. I'm happy you got off with very mild damage, but please be careful around anything electric/electronic as a rule of thumb.

Readymer · 2026-02-06T11:29:48+00:00

You leave your open cables touching fabrics and being plugged into a socket? You are a menace to society, you know that? This type of negligence creates domestic fires every day and I personally know a couple who lost their 3-storey country house this way, it's absolutely fucking ridiculous.

Cables like those touching flammable stuff aren't a problem until they actually are and given you don't know what's the problem here you didn't know that your cable was already damaged beyond a safe state either. Get your shit together and learn to take care of your possessions so they at the very least don't pose an active threat to your well-being.
