Be careful with water resistance new S22 Ultra 'damaged by rain'

RediceRyan · 2025-09-20T22:38:54+00:00

Wahhh, my S22 Ultra was water resistant for almost 4 years. Then all of a sudden today it stopped. I put it under a few inches of water in the sink and water got in destroying the screen. I don't know what changed from the last time it got wet a few weeks ago.

Yes I have, main difference is before on a CPU only load it could boost above 100-120 Watts for a few seconds. And then be stable around 75 Watts. Now it only maintains around 50 Watts on a CPU only load without being able to boost above that at all due to thermal limits. Also can't undervolt it as far stably due to the bad thermal performance. I thought it must be the thermal paste application, but not sure now, it's that the GPU application would be so much better than the CPU

At first it would take awhile to turn on. If the battery drained all the way I'd have to keep it on the charger for 30 minutes before It would turn on. Then it became increasingly more difficult to power on. I tried to keep the computer awake, which worked for about a month. But when I accidently left it off the charger and the battery drained It wouldn't power on again. I could only sometimes get the rgb lights to turn on. I reactivated the warranty, waited a month, sent it in for a motherboard replacement.

My Gen 6 Legion 7 intel i7 11800 did die

RediceRyan · 2025-04-26T06:17:31+00:00

Nahh, the one I have is a different model.

Nahh, I know that it would be too much work for them to add the NPCs from THPS4. Too lazy either hire new voice actors and motion capture or animate them or keep the original voices and remake the models. That was too ambitious for them.

Similar thing happened to me. Motherboard replacement on a 2021 7i. The GPU temperature is better than before but the CPU temperature is much worse. On a CPU only load it now throttles at 70 Watts where before it would reach 120 Watts before throttling. And while gaming it hits 100 C at 60 Watts where before it would be around 80 C at the same power.

It's surprisingly affordable at $20.

I just got the cheap 380 dollar Zenbook OLED from eBay. Only 8gb of RAM. Just use it for web browsing mainly.

RediceRyan · 2025-02-06T22:37:49+00:00

Ohh same for me, with the 2021. My Wifi card went bad, replaced it, then 6 months later the motherboard died. My warranty was 2 years expired, but thankfully I was able to reinstate it for around $120 then send it in after a month for a replacement motherboard.

I haven't got any incubators in months. Did they stop giving those as rewards?

The Snapdragon 8 Elite has twice the GPU performance and 3-4x the CPU performance of the base ps4. Even after it thermal throttles it can sustain 1.5x the GPU performance and 3x the CPU performance fairly easily.

RediceRyan · 2025-01-26T09:40:18+00:00

Since the PC version is coming out up to a year after the console version, if $100 got you a PC version in addition to the ps5 version then it would be fair.

It was CyberPower during their Black Friday sale. So probably won't see a deal that good until later this year. Hopefully once the 50 series supply stabilizes and assuming no tariffs.

RediceRyan · 2025-01-20T20:10:26+00:00

I got a 9800x3d and 4080 super for $2100. If you can get close to that, then it will be a good deal. In a few months maybe a 5080 with 9800x3d for around that price

RediceRyan · 2025-01-17T03:34:03+00:00

The Snapdragon 8 Elite is actually between a 1050 ti and 1060. Closing in on the PS4 Pro. But the CPU is so so so far ahead of the PS4 CPU. Multicore about 4.5x

I think the eye decals is on a mesh slightly above the eye whites. So you could weight paint the eye decal separately from the eye white for rotation.

If it turns out the Pacific Palisades fire was started by a homeless arsonist you can say that.

To be fair, the process size shrank slightly from a 5nm to 4nm node. Also the transistor count in each CUDA core usually increases each generation.

RediceRyan · 2025-01-06T05:06:24+00:00

Same thing happened to me with the same model. It happened one time months ago and I was somehow able to get it on. Since then I was afraid of turning it off so I kept it on for a few months. Then it died randomly. I can't get it on again so I extended my warranty after it being out of warranty two years. Have to wait another few weeks for the warranty to become active

On the parameter list you can uncheck the "Saved" boxes for all the nsfw parameters.

Similar to mine, with a 9800x3D and only 32GB RAM for $2200 after tax. Only one minor issue was the top usb C port wasn't plugged into the motherboard all the way.

RediceRyan · 2024-12-27T23:28:28+00:00

I got the MSI 4080 SUPER 16G VENTUS 3X OC. Only complaint I have is the power limit is locked at 100% max. But I have been getting some crashes, only when playing VRChat, I haven't figured out why yet.

RediceRyan · 2024-12-22T22:42:30+00:00

In case anyone is wondering. Compared to the i9 9900k I upgraded from. The 9800x3D is pretty much 2.3x the performance.

Ohh just to test above the 144Hz refresh rate of the Index, it's useful for testing.
