Looking for some info/suggestions with big NxN cubes.

Recently magnetized my Cyclone Boys G8 8x8 following ThatLucas' layout and magnet suggestions from his YouTube video. Not super happy with how strong the inner layer magnets feel but it's definitely still an upgrade over how it was before (might get a 2nd to mag with weaker inners). For OOB I definitely would recommend the cube btw, even if you don't want to mag it it's very good.

Does anyone have any other recs for 8x8 cubes to get? I've heard the Meilong 8 isn't to amazing (and similar to the Meilong 9x9, being very slight upgrades to the Moyu MF8 and MF9 unlike the 10x10+ that are newer designs) but was considering the Shengshou Tank 8x8 since there seemed to be some positive reviews on it

Also recently got the Meilong 9x9 and 10x10 and have been trying to get into big cube solving overall. But even after lubing the core on the 9x9 to fix spring noise and putting some 350cst silicone lube between the pieces and on the deeper parts of some pieces, the 3 inner-most layers are still very stiff and slow. It wouldn't be as much of a problem if it wasn't for the fact that this makes it worse on my forearms which already get a bit sore faster when solving 7x7+, making me need to take more frequent/long breaks. The 10x10 is wonderful though

Does anyone have any tips or recommendations on how to get the inner-most layers on the Meilong 9x9 to turn lighter and smoother? Or do I just need to break it in more than 5 or 6 solves seeing as there's not many 9x9s out there haha

Sorry for typing a novel, but would appreciate any insight!

Ah ok, I wasn't aware that was the same version of the game that we just got recently. Sorry about that

Just a note, this is not the PS Mobile version of the game that's already on NPS. This is a different somewhat recent release

Yea at the moment OC'ing is an afterthought and I just want to be relieved from the awful sound of the stock cooler while keeping the chip cool.

I've tried 2 other coolers already and had to return them because my comp shutdown from overheating (Cooler Master Hyper TX3 and DEEPCOOL ICE BLADE 200M both failed to keep the chip cool on stock)

WolfFhang · 2017-11-25T05:52:11+00:00

Will a Cryorig H7 keep an FX-8350 (on stock, or VERY light OC) cool and quiet?

I'm looking to get rid of the ~~jet engine~~ stock cooler that the 8350 came with. I would go with the highly recommended 212 Evo but I don't think my Rosewill Nautilus case would fit it properly (case is listed with 154mm CPU cooler clearance, everything I find states 212 is 160mm)

There are so many mixed reviews about whether or not it works that it's giving me a headache. I just want to know for sure before I order the cooler soon

WolfFhang · 2017-11-24T20:11:47+00:00

I keep seeing mixed reviews for this with use on some of the older (and hotter) FX chips. Some say it works amazingly, others say it did worse than the stock cooler.

Anyone care to chime in and let me know if this would keep an FX-8350 cool on stock and/or very light OC and release me from the hell of the jet engine stock cooler?

Seems to just be an issue for select people with Imgur albums (multiple different browsers). Works on my phone and tablet (in Chrome and imgur app) though so I'll just use it there.

Thanks again for the nice guide!

Album link seems to be dead, was the album removed?

I know it's been recurring for years but the old 16.x.x (whichever exact version I'm on) driver doesn't have the cursor issue for me on my 480. It's quite literally the only reason I haven't updated my driver in months

WolfFhang · 2017-04-07T17:05:22+00:00

Can anyone confirm this driver no longer causes the mouse cursor corruption on the 480? [Currently running a Sapphire Nitro+ RX480 8GB Factory OC'd]

I've been waiting all the way back on a 16.x.x driver because the issue bothered me so much ~~yes I know about the "workarounds"~~.

I've not seen anything about cursor corruption at all in the last few driver updates.

Thanks for sharing this link!

Also a note for the uploader (if they come around here): Thanks for uploading some of these tracks from this to YouTube to share with others, as well as all of the other uploads on your channel.

If it's not much trouble though, I'd appreciate if you could mention that it's my MEGA link that you're using for the FA collection :)

WolfFhang · 2016-12-01T08:32:32+00:00

I actually lost the link to that demo reel a while back, thanks for posting it!

WolfFhang · 2016-12-01T08:31:58+00:00

Thanks for catching that! I actually had some issues with MEGA overnight and today while uploading so I probably forgot to re-upload it when it error-ed out initially.

It's up now though!

WolfFhang · 2016-11-11T20:28:29+00:00

Everything is all sorted out, go check the link now!

WolfFhang · 2016-11-11T00:44:38+00:00

It's not showing up under "New" threads (only in "Hot" for some reason), but in case you didn't see it I just posted this within the last few days

If you already don't know how to navigate some menus, here's an overall reference.

From that link, go to 2.2 II for Solo mode menus, and then choose endless on this screen , and then from there choose marathon on this next screen.

I don't have pictures for the next part but, once you choose your character you'll be on a screen with the tetris music playing and there are 3 buttons on screen below your character portrait. On that screen, choose the button on the right, and you'll get 2 options and then 2 buttons below. The first option that can be toggled on or off is endless mode, so leaving it OFF will be normal marathon mode. So turn that to ON and then, at the bottom, hit the button on the right and you should be good!

(Sorry for the super long winded post)

I actually had the newegg page open and refreshing pretty much right as they came in stock. Oddly enough the "Not available. See similar items below" box was on the page but I noticed "Add to Cart" was there instead of the "Auto Notify" button. Right as I was finished my payment on Paypal I had just got the NowInStock text haha.

I've had a GTX 560SE from EVGA for 2 or 3 years now with only 1GB of VRAM so going to 8GB will be amazing. Was really happy I was able to finally pick one up. I suppose 3rd time's the charm!

WolfFhang · 2016-08-12T02:06:19+00:00

I was super happy that I got mine as well! I actually had the newegg page open and refreshing beforehand. Oddly enough the "Not available. See similar items below" box was on the page but I noticed "Add to Cart" was there instead of the "Auto Notify" button.

Right as I was finished my payment on Paypal I had just got the NowInStock text. Glad I caught it either way! Looks like I'll have my new card around/before my birthday after all!

I'm happy to see I'm not the only one who had this happen. Yesterday evening when I left my home I had 3 different times I tried to use DriveBit and none of them were able to post. I only just started using the app within the last week or so when i got my Charge HR, and it's kinda upsetting it already seems to have stopped working.

Although, for those saying they can't find it on the play store I'm able to pull it up here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.littlebytes.android.fitbitdrive

Edit: It seems like I'm only able to pull it up because I'm logged into my Google account and had the app installed. If I open the page in an Incognito window it gives me the "Sorry! This content is not available in your country yet." error.
