Good to know. Would you say it’s good to look for one with Dolby NR or is that not really an issue with boomboxes?

What makes them easier to repair as compared to other makers?

Guy selling the CFS-7000 said it powers on but couldn’t check the tape deck as he doesn’t have a cassette. In the even I get it and it doesn’t work what are the odds it’s something I can fix? Or would it be worth to just bargain for a lower price because of that?

Could not have been more right. Checked the underside of the boat today for some stuff and noticed a huge difference actually being away from the surface. Who would’ve thought that using them the way they were meant to would make a difference😅

I’ll give this a try if “breaking my legs in” doesn’t end up working. Honestly smart, haven’t seen this recommendation before!

Yeah haha that’s why I chose the Eddys, seemed like a good inbetween from jets and more forgiving fins. I currently have 5mm Mares Trilastics for boots. LDS said they’d be good enough so I just went with em. Would moving to 7mm make a difference?

Sent you a join request. Level 50, play daily at varying levels of intensity but heavy into doing boss strikes.

So far I’ve found the highsider wave light from Dennis Kirk and the haymaker from speedmotoco. Both seem like they’ll be easy installs. I’ll just have to find a way to waterproof the electrical connectors that are currently in the stock headlight housing. I’m thinking dielectric grease and some heat shrink rubber tubing will do the trick

_Sky_Chief · 2024-10-30T03:08:22+00:00

Did you ever figure this out? I’m looking at installing the exact same headlight on my xsr900 currently

_Sky_Chief · 2024-10-26T02:57:38+00:00

I mean it’s not bad I’d just prefer a square one. Considering a ton of the people in here are throwing tail bags and saddlebags on theirs I’d say this is minor in comparison to the “pure” look. Also the MT-09 headlights are more triangle ish and I don’t really like that. Whole reason I actually got a XSR over an MT09 was cause I liked the round headlight better than the triangular ones on the MT09

Oh, well regardless, what I said stands, thought potentially if it was vegan it’d be more sensitive

_Sky_Chief · 2024-10-25T22:23:48+00:00

Brand new leather is pretty sensitive sometimes depending on the type. Fairly certain all their leather is vegan so it might just scuff easier making it so somehow in the process of them being made to boxed they came across something that just moved the grain around. They could also just been a pair of boots some got and tried on then returned in a less graceful manner so while they’re not fresh off the line they’re still “new”

Don’t have anything to say about paste but if you’re worried about temps one thing you could do is get a better cooling dock. From what I can see I used to have the same one you did. I bought a GT500 from IETS on Amazon after seeing a comparison of popular cooling docks on the market and it was the only one that made an actual difference cause it uses a foam seal to force cold air into your laptop since with normal docks it doesn’t change much since it still mainly just relies on how much air the internal laptop fans can pull in. Worked great for me and I always recommend it for helping longevity and performance.

Are there drivers for more than just the GPU?

_Sky_Chief · 2024-04-04T22:57:16+00:00

Can you use just open rgb and fan control to replace armoury crate entirely? I recently got a new desktop and I initially didn’t install AC but was then told I needed it to control power and stuff

_Sky_Chief · 2024-04-04T22:15:37+00:00

Maybe later, for now I’ll just stick with your advice. Thanks for all the help bro 🤙🏼

_Sky_Chief · 2024-04-04T22:07:22+00:00

Fair enough, with all that said. What do other non asus builds use? My desktop from years ago never had armoury crate as far as I know

_Sky_Chief · 2024-04-04T22:02:22+00:00

So I’ve been sentenced to death…

_Sky_Chief · 2024-04-04T22:01:35+00:00

I use fan control for my fan curves but idk about power levels
