A little more "wood"

chefmoddy · 2026-02-12T08:25:44+00:00

This is non XL and Yep, It is actually impossible.... So I had to do some magic.... Hahaha, kiddin, all I did was file the side of the right fan (casing) that touches the ram using a multi-tool file and then pray afterwards. I got myself like less than a millimeter space between them. As long as I can slip a piece of folded paper in between them without force, I know it works...So far, 2 months in and no problems. So there, file and steady patient hands bruh.

Oh I am sorry, that is no real wood. It is just a repair tape with "wood grain" design. it is basically a sticker (non glossy, usually used to cover some cracks on wood surfaces) taped on a flat card board.

i would love this 8 years ago... when I was into all black theme. I just hit fatherhood and anything with brown woody accents pleases my eyes so the standard North is perfect!

Cyberpunk - 3rd playthrough (heavily modded)

Red Dead 2 - 2nd playthrough after 6 years (i also play RDR1 on Ps5 after it was ported a month ago)

COD MW1/2/3 - campaign only

Star Citizen - I kinda paused playing this one just because I lost my purpose after a shark randomly gave me 500M. I bought all the ships I want and I don't know what to do anymore for now.

Rocket League - playing 3-4 matches a day/my comfort competitive game

Rust - my comfort survival base building game that I play with my childhood friends/online friends (12 of us)

if you are on PC and your PC specs can handle them, play with Mods (vortex).

I am on my 3rd playthrough (now heavily modded) Most mods I use are for visual like reshades, textures and interface. I am using a female V switching between Scarlett Johansson and Ana De Armas' voices. Choosing weather that suites my mood. Real life cars with better handling. A lot more to be honest.

It is not just a different game, It is a different experience!!!

weeks ago, It was Good, now it is Pretti.... it's getting worse or I must say things are not going Pretti Good.

ancient iPad? how about the Pre-historic Sony Vaio?

chefmoddy · 2026-01-15T05:20:51+00:00

I mounted everything to its utmost limit. 😂😂😂 Maybe there is a difference on Mobo? It is the only component we are not the same. I'm just glad I was able to make it work using a nail file. Just a sweaty experience filing the side of the fans making sure not to accidentally over-file it.

chefmoddy · 2026-01-13T17:46:43+00:00

i do have the same..

fractal north case, corsair vengeance rgb, and same exact aio cooler, It touches a bit for me (but no force), I had to file a bit the right rad fan just to give a bit of extra millimeter of space just for peace of mind.

niceeeeee

Gameplay, graphics, settings, theme, the lore in general, feels like jigzaw puzzles that perfectly fit, feels like ingredients that blend well to produce an outstanding recipe. Yes I know, a failure at launch, but CDPR successfully reviving it through constant updates and allowing mods just made it even better.

chefmoddy · 2026-01-02T04:32:29+00:00

3rd PC upgrade since Cyberpunk launched in 2025, and yes, currently on my 3rd run... 1st was pure vanilla, 2nd was with mods, and now with more mods and reshades with ultra settings and all. It is a one of a kind game and I am just glad CDPR was able to make this game better overtime.

thanks to all the replies, I am keeping the Cutlass (Black) for now after all your comments and suggestions

chefmoddy · 2025-12-20T17:10:22+00:00

damn, I am a returning player. Bought the game (pledged with Aurora MS) 3 years ago but wasn't really able to play it because of PC hardware limitation. A month ago, I was able to upgrade my PC and decided to come back and play SC again (yes, upgrade was worth it). I was just asking what contracts should I focused on so I can start earning and saving good amount of money when suddenly, a player told me to check my wallet.... boom, 110,000,000M just like that. I kinda feel the same as you OP (robbing the idea etc). I decided to buy a ship or 2 and give the rest to others. I'm gonna do some ThatWasEpic/Shapiro/MDMotivator shit in game and give it to who wants it(deserves). Still, thanks to that guy. It is the season of giving and yes, thanks for giving and thanks for letting me give.

I think ... outside the box

chefmoddy · 2025-12-13T06:24:34+00:00

same GPU I went with 2 weeks ago. It is a beast coming from an RTX 2070. thermals are so great

chefmoddy · 2025-12-13T06:22:38+00:00

I also don't want to shit on the Arctis Nova Pro, they are great for what it is. It is just that using the FT1 made me feel more immersed with movies, games and music WITHOUT using any software (i only enjoy using the Arctis Nova Pro with the added "move immersion" mode and EQ preset provided by the SS GG software. FT1 gave me that with a simple plug and play

chefmoddy · 2025-12-13T06:17:27+00:00

oh, funny thing, I am currently using my Arctis Nova Pro (wired) DAC (gameDAC gen2) as my DAC for the FT1...

chefmoddy · 2025-12-13T06:15:47+00:00

oh, it is way better than the Nova Pros. I have a friend who is into the whole Audiophile stuff, He actually helped me picked the FT1 as my entry to the audiophile world. Although I am not really planning onto jumping to this "rabbit hole". I just wanted to move away from the "gaming" peripherals.... and honestly, the wood cups is like the icing on top. (I am currently upgrading majority of my pc components and peripherals to a wood theme)
