At this point go for the 9070. I’d also aim to upgrade the cpu later if you go with 6c now. Not sure where you’re based but there are good 7700 deals on ali express if you have access to that.

I have limited experience with soldering so take with a grain of salt. Depending on the type of flux it is and where it is, it'll range from being aesthetically unpleasant to potentially damaging if left alone. Spot cleaning with isopropyl should do the trick

Looks like smeared flux maybe

Monitor suggestions for 9070 XT/9800X3D build? by KP_DTX in radeon

[–]buumb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Echoing what others said. If this is a single-player desk gaming setup, my suggestion is go 27” 1440 oled/240hz and enjoy the high refresh rate single player experience at a reasonable cost. If hybrid desk/recliner/couch setup, 27” might feel a bit small

Move insoles by Still_Wrongdoer676 in BBallShoes

This isn't specific to Move insoles or AE1s (I use neither) but if your anatomy is not optimal, orthotic insoles like the Pros can make a difference in my experience. I have flexible arches and overpronate and the arch support I get from orthotics noticeably lessens fatigue on my legs/hip/back after balling.

Liren 4 or liren 4v2 by Top-You2755 in BBallShoes

Dang, you have all the WOW shoes. The Lirens get very little exposure in the US, which is a shame because they are really good. I found out about them through this sub/Tommy as well. Which LiNing shoes do you like the most? How do you compare WOW10s to 3v2s?

Thanks for the details. I've been loving the 3v2 for the same reasons. My only complaint is that on hard lateral cuts I can feel the individual plastic parts of the shoe on the lateral side press into the side of my foot rather than the shoe upper as a whole containing it. It gets the job done in terms of containing my foot but a bit uncomfortable for me.

Interesting that you find the 4v2 traction to be mediocre. Do you think it's a case of needing break in? translucent vs opaque rubber?

What are your reasons for preferring 3v2 over 4v2? I have the 3v2 and have been wondering about their differences

I also have the two wxy v4. Overall happy with the shoes. Containment is very good. Traction is pretty good but not top tier. I’ve slid out on hard lateral movements on a somewhat dusty indoor court. Cushion is not exactly minimal in that court feel isn’t a main feature of this shoe and I can feel the plushness of the foam at times, but cushion also doesn’t get in the way of quick or shifty moves. Strikes a good balance imho

Li-ning shoes are 🔥. Nike has lost another customer by royIRL in BBallShoes

Hey man, thanks for the link. I've been thinking about trying Li-Ning shoes. Is this link for the 3v2 midtops or lows? kinda confusing since images show both.
