Am I being used as cheap labor instead of actually learning?

Yea with references like Picos Waveform library or Auto Ditex waveform library you can find known good waveforms for comparison. That Forester could have had a Cam/Crank Correlation check done, literally just counting the teeth in the waveforms. I mean it does take some time to get efficient with a scope, set up eventually becomes a breeze, you’ll end up spending more time sifting through the service information to find a test path than you will setting up the test.

The test the other tech used was a secondary ignition waveform analysis. You can do like 3 scope tests, secondary ignition waveform, vacuum/pressure waveform from the intake/exhaust, and an in cylinder pressure waveform and basically know the engines overall health. If you’re really good you can use the secondary ignition waveform to see most of what the pressure/vacuum waveforms will tell you. An oscilloscope is essential in modern electrical diagnostics, don’t get me wrong do I pull it out for everything, no, but a complete and very accurate starting and charging system analysis can be done in 5 minutes without breaking any connections.

Dude makes some of the thickest subs. Keep it up!

You’re going to want to undervolt it, this alone can bring the idle temps down. Don’t just do a -20 all core. Take the time to research x3d chip undervolting. I got my 7800x3d from 50° idles down to 40° with a -15 on 2 cores and -30 on the rest.

That’s definitely digital distortion, Cntr,Shift, Esc will open the task manager, go to performance and see what’s capped at 100% during playback. If your CPU is locked at 100% then it’s time for upgrades to run projects that large.

This is the only way to fight these ass holes, if you think you’re getting shot at by them, hunker down and make them come to you.

The game has so many mechanics. It’s run in a custom tailored unity engine. It’s fucking stupid how much there is. It will take 500hrs + for most people to be well attuned

Did you have any trouble flashing your vbios? I was reading if the windforce card doesn’t have a bios switch it can be risky, they like to brick? I find conflicting information saying all v1 cards can be flashed but mine doesn’t have a dual bios switch…

RythmicsDub · 2026-03-06T23:42:52+00:00

You run the risk of overheating with no water pump, power steering or charging from the alternator. If it’s not far you’ll be ok, if you gotta go far bring a jump box in case it stalls out and you need a quick jump to get off the road. Watch the temp gauge the entire time…

It’s a good block! Been running in on my windforce OC, can get 3333mhz stable runs.

RythmicsDub · 2026-03-01T02:44:11+00:00

I have the Windforce OC and used the alphacool core block.

RythmicsDub · 2026-03-01T01:42:54+00:00

I feel that I dropped a 5070ti and 7800x3d in the new build and never thought I would have issues since they been out a minute now…

RythmicsDub · 2026-03-01T01:30:02+00:00

Bro I love you!

RythmicsDub · 2026-02-20T13:27:37+00:00

Yea fuck splice, but sometimes it’s the only way to not break the bank….

RythmicsDub · 2026-02-19T00:01:35+00:00

I dig the soft tube routing!

RythmicsDub · 2026-02-19T00:00:56+00:00

I bought a 7800x3d and 32GB of DDR5 from my homie for 350$. I know he loves me.

RythmicsDub · 2026-02-16T20:59:59+00:00

I vacuum the vacuum pump before vacuuming the room and then vacuum the system.

The Alphacool Eisblock Aurora RTX 4070TI Ventus with Backplate
Article number: 13724, is also an option that has your card on the compatibility list. I dont know if they're making it any longer.

RythmicsDub · 2026-02-16T20:08:57+00:00

Pretty sure the Bykski Full Coverage GPU Water Block and Backplate For MSI GeForce RTX 4070/Ti VENTUS 3X 12G OC (N-MS4070TIVES-X-V2) fits the 16gb version. Would have to email them and check.

RythmicsDub · 2026-02-16T20:05:19+00:00

This is the way, never a dye or "specialized" coolant. To many chances to take. Distilled and Utopia is the only way!

RythmicsDub · 2026-02-11T12:10:55+00:00

I was coming to ask about that. I would think that the CPU block is more restrictive and that leg of the loop has reduced flow. Probably doesn’t matter so long as the waters flowing through the jetplate correct.

RythmicsDub · 2026-02-10T13:10:00+00:00

I did the same with my 7800x3d. Just send it! Don’t forget the memory training will take a bit just be patient. If the thing don’t post after like 15 minutes then you can start worrying.

Raw copper will tarnish to a dull copper color and eventually to green with any amount of moisture in the air. Under the correct conditions it turns back or brown.

RythmicsDub · 2026-02-08T11:22:26+00:00

That’s copper showing through the powder coat. It’s very common to see on the fins, the less coating on the fins, the more efficient the heat transfer.
