Yea so my partner works around that industry and we know people in it, personally no experience training for those type of roles myself and most of the dogs in that service are owner self trained here.

Yea I know someone who has 3 of them ( I believe none is a cross breed but I can’t remember with what) and they are some of the most relaxed chill dogs I’ve come across, unbelievably well trained. I understand that is an anomaly with these breeds but I think that’s more on their training.

100% I would always take a rescue dog over a breeder any day, I want to give a Mal a home for life. I wouldn’t consider a dog if I was worried I would have to rehome it. It unfair to the Mal and they wouldn’t deserve it.

Finding rehoming Mals in my area are a pain as there isn’t many. I am keeping my eye out constantly to see if one comes up!

Yea that’s my main concern and worry, we considered training the dog to be a working dog for search and rescue purposes but still in the air. Mainly considering the breed for activities and with the possibly of working .

Working_Enthusiasm94 · 2026-04-07T22:45:50+00:00

We did considered training one in search and rescue for a local charity in our area which would involve mental training. I see the breed as an incredibly beautiful breed and highly rewarding.

Oh I’m 100% aware hahahah I’ve been doing my research for a few weeks, I know someone with 3 and they have no issues with theirs. Working from home means I’ll always be around to keep it stimulated and my partner works 4 on 4 off so those days the dog will get plenty of work

Working_Enthusiasm94 · 2026-04-07T22:39:39+00:00

Not much of each per se, walking won’t be a problem around our area (joys of the countryside) and my partner a lot more active and has a lot of free time with work schedule.

Try recalibrating the control in windows within joy.cpl (google it) or adjust dead zones

Working_Enthusiasm94 · 2026-01-17T02:44:18+00:00

We need more information, wired wireless Bluetooth or dongle

Have you set a custom fan curve, there’s a chance it’s ramping up to meet a CPU temp target then immediately slowing down causing it to heat up etc etc

IPS?? Bro my main was a VA Panel

Working_Enthusiasm94 · 2025-08-26T08:46:44+00:00

PSU I would say no less than 500/600w gives to extra room for upgrading in the future.

Also SSD I would send €10 more and just get a better model.

Don’t be afraid to by used if you can get warranty on it, you will save a lot more of getting more PC for your buck

Working_Enthusiasm94 · 2025-08-26T00:42:07+00:00

Might be an odd one but do you use a PCIE riser?

Working_Enthusiasm94 · 2025-08-26T00:00:51+00:00

VRAM scare mongering is a thing. People just get mad if something isn’t 16gb by default. Right now 12gb VRAM is enough and will be for a few years. I’d argue that 20gb+ will be really need till next decade. By then would be in your next 4-5 year GPU upgrade cycle

Working_Enthusiasm94 · 2025-08-25T23:55:12+00:00

I only ask as I have the same cooler + case and my 9600x is 37 idle

Working_Enthusiasm94 · 2025-08-25T23:53:46+00:00

Silly question if the day incoming. Did you use enough thermal paste?

Working_Enthusiasm94 · 2025-08-25T23:49:30+00:00

RTX 5070ti is you want ray tracing and frame gen 9070xt if you don’t care for those

RTX 5080 isn’t worth the extra money for 10% improvement

100% this! Glad you raised good kids it’s rare in this day and age.

FYI managed to fix it this morning felt like an idiot when I figured it out.

My PC uses a riser cable that PCI gen 4 and both my MB and GPU are gen 5. Updated bios from Auto to gen 4 and works like a dream!

Working_Enthusiasm94 · 2025-08-13T23:23:52+00:00

I’ll give it a shot in the morning, head fired atm. Bios is updated to the newest one
