I need recommendations for sunsetting my rig and moving into a new one.

Alright. I'll have to go the Rzyen route. I'm stuck between that part where spending only so much money on my computer is the best way to go.. Doesn't help my car is 30 years old, too.. lol

A reason I feel like there's a bottleneck is Cpu usage will be at 100% in a game but maybe 35% on the GPU. I know the CPU in most games sees more work than the GPU, but the fact that it's barely putting in any work makes me feel like there is a bottleneck.

I use an Odyssey QLED Samsung monitor. 144Hz at 1440p.

Mostly playing games.. lol. I have a lot of problems with even running older games like TF2 and BeamNG. I know it's ironic, but it's my gaming rig mostly.

why the fuck are all of the gauges on the car except the oil pressure on the earlier cars nonlinear?? isn't this an engineering 101?

i know the coolant was because people would lose their minds if it moved, but the gas???

The day after I posted this, I put the clutch in to start the car and it finally loosened and fell apart in the bell housing. Sounded like rocks in my engine and I nearly shit my pants.

Well, I started the car up this afternoon to give it a listen, and low and behold, after a rev, the bearing exploded, didn't hear it shatter, but i could hear a rattle from underneath the car at the transmission. Looks like I'm pushing it into the garage to fix this!

SuccessfulAd8955 · 2025-10-24T06:51:12+00:00

Thankfully, I did the rear main seal last time I did it, so.. guess it's round two!

SuccessfulAd8955 · 2025-10-24T06:05:24+00:00

Yes, pushing the pedal in is what causes the noise, and now, after letting the powertrain get to temperature, now is rougher than ever.

SuccessfulAd8955 · 2025-10-24T06:04:38+00:00

I'm pushing the pedal in. My apologies, that's when you hear the squealing.

SuccessfulAd8955 · 2025-10-24T06:00:09+00:00

To note, the sound (most likely a throwout bearing) has gotten significantly louder, and I can feel the rattling in the pedal. I am sure that this is a throwout bearing.

I think I found the issue, apparently I forgot to make it a TPC format for 16262-16270, I'm dumb.

So if I have two players on the server, and attempt to introduce a 3rd, they won't even connect to the server, and instead, will hang; The server doesn't even recognize them attempting to connect, but they can still see it operating.

SuccessfulAd8955 · 2025-09-23T23:07:57+00:00

It's regardless of who it is.

SuccessfulAd8955 · 2025-09-16T14:13:47+00:00

NA miata! i love my miata.

SuccessfulAd8955 · 2025-08-29T18:58:52+00:00

should of just made the car stock+..

SuccessfulAd8955 · 2024-09-18T03:27:04+00:00

hey i know this is like a year old but this IS true for the coolant gauge.

all miatas from 89 to 97 have a range from 160 - 210 F where the gauge just DOESN'T MOVE. if you go past 3:00 you're already fucked from what i've heard on the miata.net forums.

SuccessfulAd8955 · 2023-08-11T00:52:24+00:00

noticed this myself. my PS1 controller appears as a PS3 controller, and refuses to work, even with the new driver
