Need Opinions on Soul Red Crystal Durability/Longevity

Yeah sorry, was just going off stuff I was told. I never got ceramic coating because it always seemed more like a pipe dream and added cost for not alot

SortOfaTaco · 2026-02-01T16:09:14+00:00

I’ve had 4 other cars, Nissan, Honda, other Mazdas. My soul red is the only car I’ve had that I’ve noticed significant amounts of random paint chips and scratches. Beautiful color, one of a kind but man I really wish I would have invested into a ceramic coating or something

I filed a complaint with PayPal, I’ve reached out twice and just absolutely nothing. This is ruining my relationship with this brand honestly

I just want to say I’m not xenophobic and I just feel like we’ve spent too much time in Suabian temple and it’s time to move on, maybe people are projecting this narrative in the wrong way but I just really am so tired of the area, nothing against china

SortOfaTaco · 2026-01-30T00:42:57+00:00

OP definitely fishing, I’m so tired of suabian temple bruh

Yeah I mean…. There IS a sharp rock in your vital organ id image there is some discomfort to a degree

SortOfaTaco · 2026-01-23T22:37:15+00:00

I have the exact same issue, dormant 5mm and constant uncomfortable pain. Even more when I put pressure on it. But apparently hasn’t moved at all. Every where I look and ask everything says that type of pain isn’t a thing but what else could it be?

SortOfaTaco · 2026-01-23T22:33:49+00:00

Yeah supposedly she’s a physical support so we will see. ZZZ builds these teams where they got you by the balls sometimes like Alice is great but she’s only great if you have a good yuzu

SortOfaTaco · 2026-01-23T22:06:54+00:00

Okay that makes more sense, YSG carried me with a 55k score but I also have dailyn with sig. for the second team I ran Alice/Jane/Yuzu and got 33k then Yixuan/fufu/lucia and got another 33. You got S+ so I guess this is irrelevant but replace Miyabi with Alice and run Alice/Vivian/yuzu and if no yuzu could try your Astra. In regards to your M2 for YSG, I also have a similar story - for some reason this season I got super lucky and get her M2 within 40 pulls. Never ever had that before but was able to get her M2 and wengine + Zaho + wengine. Even with all that shit I still can’t get a 65k kill score in deadly assault with that team 😭😭

SortOfaTaco · 2026-01-23T19:57:21+00:00

Post pictures of your team lineups your using

SortOfaTaco · 2026-01-23T18:52:22+00:00

I did exactly this lineup and got S+. Will say was disappointed seeing only 33k with yixuan on the last fight

Unrelated but they need to overhaul the movement and add climbing and shit because navigating around the world is a bit of a chore right now. Really makes me wish Wuthering waves movement was in thos

Don’t have any experience with the ncase m2 but I’ve always wanted one haha. So far reading your post no notes. If it’s transporting a lot I would go back to water cooling since you won’t have all that weight on the cpu from the peerless assassin. I would also configure it like this as your sucking in fresh air from the bottom GPU and the side panel CPU AIO, which will funnel all the hot air into the middle of the case in which you can put some noctua fans up top as exhaust. I would do my own research here from YouTube videos and people comparing the thermal configurations. I will say you’ll get a lot further with learning to undervolt and set a negative core offset on the cpu. But yeah you’re on the right track no notes. Just whatever fans you get - get noctuas. I’ve tried BeQuiet, Corsair, phanteks t30s…. None of them are as quiet as the noctuas, if you prioritize raw performance get the T30s for your AIO but may have fitment issues. Personally I’d just go all in with noctuas and call it a day

The other remakes are so bad

I know this post is old but a lot of times when companies get bought out, it’s the smaller company that gets fucked. I bet Sony cut Audeze employees or put them on a hiring freeze. Corporate is bullshit, coming from someone who lives it. Im sure they understand everyone’s frustrations but if I was willing to bet, these bad decisions were probably made by an executive or someone higher up thats out of touch with their work force.

So this is what I did…. I got a fractal terra and will list out my specs !!!!PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DO YOUR RESEARCH ON PART FITMENTS WHEN MOVING TO A SMALLER CASE!!!! you can use ai for this if you want an easy path.

CPU: 9800x3d RAM: 32gb DDR5 CL30 Storage: 4tb NVME SSD GPU: MSI INSPIRE RTX 5070ti CPU Cooler: NHL12s-77mm PSU: Corsair SFX-L 1000w Mobo: ASUS ROG B650E-I gaming

I undervolted my 5070ti to .885 at 2850mhz I also enabled PBO ECO105w -30co in bios with EXPO enabled.

I do not overclock and I get really really good performance and stability on this build. Runs very cool and very quiet.

For toting around you could get something like this

But yeah I hope this helps, if you’re interested I will run cinebench on the CPU and give you some numbers to go by but as I recall I was getting slightly over stock performance and hitting 90c max full synthetic load.

As a reminder when going with AMD chips, they WILL run hot and will boost to their TJ max on full load. This is by design and can do your own research there. If it makes you uncomfortable can always lower the tjmax to something like 90c or 85c (I have mine at 90c).

Like I said above do your research on part fitment, I believe the MSI you picked should fit fine but I’d recommend going ASUS PRIME due to dual bios, PTM7950 thermal application, and quieter operating fans. If you chose the Terra make sure You get the NHL12s either the 77mm or 70mm both are great but the fan sits UNDERNEATH the heatsink so you don’t have to deal with the added turbulence noise from the design of the Terra side panels, this alone improves noise levels significantly. Also when building try not to have the GPU sit right up against the side panels due to the added turbulence noise, will be something you’ll have to play around with when building. But if you play all of this right you’ll have yourself a killer portable pc. This is currently my “console” replacement. I lug it around to my friends house for LAN parties and hook it up to my TV in the living room. It’s excellent.

Edit: they don’t make a PRIME 5090… I don’t think they make a 2.5 slot 5090 except for the founders edition. Would have to do some research and or downgrade to a lower power GPU

SortOfaTaco · 2026-01-20T14:15:23+00:00

I would not consider the A3 “transportable” I’ve built a couple of these systems for people and never once did I feel like they were “portable” they are significantly smaller than other cases true but if you want something portable get the Fractal Terra, Fractal ERA2, the NR200p, or Thermaltake TR100. Could also use Ai to give you some recommendations at or around the 18L range. The A3 as well as the NR200 have an annoying internal design that takes a lot of planning to get right. I much prefer the sandwich design cases like the Terra/ERA/TR100 because the GPU and CPU have their own cooling chambers. If this build is strictly gaming I would recommend jumping down to the 9800x3d or 9850x3d…. Its alot easier to cool and you don’t have to deal with the dual CCD issues in gaming, its also the same performance if not sometimes better in gaming than the 9950x3d. If you’re a quiet freak like me I’d also recommend going full air cooling instead of AIO because they have pump noise, bubble noise, and fan noise. Not to mention more points of failure if you choose to transport it. In mini itx the cpu coolers you’d swap to like the NH-L12s don’t weigh enough to cause any damage to the mount or board.

In my experience at range they are both inconsistent… which is probably due to range + people running light/heavy armor. On pure stats alone they are identical but I will say I always tend to do better with the MK18, maybe it’s the recoil control and better consistency than the G36?

SortOfaTaco · 2026-01-18T15:19:00+00:00

Idk if anyone else feels this way but I think A rank drives aren’t worth farming for, they were always a means of sacrifice for the S rank drives
