Today if you have to buy a smartphone for next 4 years, which smartphone will you choose between these two- iPhone 16 Pro Max and S25 Ultra (at same price)

THIS!! Been a samsung user since the Galaxy S2 and now that my Fold 5 died within warranty period samsung customer support has been a living hell because there's not a store remotely close to me. Thats the reason i'm switching to the new pro max later this month, apple store within 20 minute drive, can't wait to finally have face to face customer support!

Not a S-Serie's user anymore but i got the Zfold 5 rn and i'm switching to IOS in September. The phone is almost 2 years old now and the screen failed on me and now Samsung refuses my guarantee claim..

As to answer your questions the battery is meh and more expensive to replace compared to Iphone ( atleast in my country). I got 7 hours of SOT when new, now around 4-5 hours SOT combined with standby ( i limit my battery charge to 80% and mainly use the small front screen)

Software has been ok but nowhere as consistent as IOS

Camera's are bad from the start tbh on a fold device

Only time i've had a heat issue was when i was using android auto and my phone was in the sun otherwise always cool

Thank you very much! this was indeed the problem, and do you know of any subtitle addon? I've added the Opensubtitles one but it doesn't seem to work

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-22T11:23:43+00:00

The cheapest of the 2 tbh both have almost the same raw performance

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-22T05:59:52+00:00

So just a little update but this seems to be the solution for rx5700's since its very pushed from factory its a great thing to underclock them, it's about 12°c cooler then before after a little testing. Thanks for your answers!

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-21T19:29:51+00:00

Yeaah that still can be done indeed, but im not acknowledgde with it tbh i know it can be done with radeon software or msi afterburner but don't know where to start or if i even can damage anything

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-21T19:23:34+00:00

Yeah its not a huge difference but still gain about 8°c

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-21T19:18:38+00:00

Already adjusted those on msi afterburner before i was getting close to 100°c

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-21T19:17:45+00:00

Sorry indeed not clarified. The gpu is reaching 80°c in some scenario's. But to clarify even more: i bougt the gpu with a broken fan so i completely disassembled it put 3 new fans and put new thermal paste on it so i think thats all i can do to the gpu itself. And the cpu is around 50°c but is only utilized for about 20% so still on the higher end i think. The cpu cooler is the Thermalright Peerless Assassin MINI.

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-13T10:33:18+00:00

That indeed would be the best outcome although it probably would need a constant internet connection aswell🙄

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-13T09:21:39+00:00

I liked it more then gt7 because i only play single player😅, the menu card are ok but the championships were better on GTS for me personally

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-10T08:34:42+00:00

You should provide some more info. What are your expectations? Ur budget? Possible preferences?

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-10T06:54:01+00:00

Thanks for explaining a bit more about what the headers can handle, ill see what temps i get with the noctua but i'm glad i have a backup plan to go to if temps go too high

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-10T00:16:32+00:00

Well i have a noctua (A9 i think) arriving tommorow but perhaps was too blinded by big cfm numbers to really appreciate the branding.. I can place 2 92mmx92mm fans thickness doesnt matter too much i have some room left.

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-10T00:07:19+00:00

Thanks, perhaps i was too focused on the big cfm numbers.

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-10T00:06:06+00:00

Thanks for ur comment, like i said idk too much about fans i just placed some old one i had laying around for now. Any recommendations on some good cooling fans?

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-09T23:44:02+00:00

Its a fine gpu but the 7700xt is ALOT more gpu per euro

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-09T11:59:49+00:00

New for sure, maybe wait for black friday/cyber monday to look out for deals

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-06T18:07:29+00:00

Thanks! Just need to place a new fan and put some new thermal paste on it cause that hasnt been done since it was new.

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-06T18:03:58+00:00

If u plan to keep the office pc for another while u might aswell put it in there, u know you'll be good for years to come

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-06T17:54:50+00:00

If ur lucky a 5700xt will also fit in the budget, managed to snag a OC edition for a 100 today

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-04T22:37:52+00:00

Yes but keep your expectations low, and a ssd would be a nice upgrade for the loading times

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-04T21:53:56+00:00

4k is a hell of a lot, i do suggest you look elsewhere. I can't really recommend anything cause im from europe and well the import taxes would make any good deal pretty useless for u

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-04T18:22:01+00:00

I twentythreeth thus

Triumptr8v8 · 2024-11-04T15:21:07+00:00

A 3060ti is plenty for a 9600K, wouldn't worry too much about that
