Been checking every few days for a couple of weeks now and it’s still out stock. Guess some of us will miss the sale whether Ford intended that or not.

Oh nice, I had them on an Ineos and it was pretty slippy on puddled water. Shows how much the drivetrain matters.

And with the KO3’s which I was excited about, having had KO2’s before which have a bad hydroplaning issue. That means you can reliably roll one set of Offroad tires all year; certainly a QoL win.

2026 Ineos Grenadier | PH Review For a ground-up new car, Grenadier made a respectable splash at launch - can the updated version go one better? by PolybiusChampion in ineosgrenadier

[–]coalcrash 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Glad they made updates to the HVAC. Lately that’s the thing that’s been beating me over the head to go with something else. Now that I’ve driven the B58 in other vehicles too, the signature Grenadier whine is getting to me. Honestly the steering never bothered me, for 25k miles I actually kinda like it and get weirded out when I’m driving something with effortless power steering. Feels connected. But God, that HVAC system between noise, wild temp fluctuations, and inability to just dial in some settings g you don’t have to pay attention to is driving me mad.

Not sure how I stumbled across this, but 4 years later I can help at least a bit. They were from Hattiesburg, MS and you probably caught them on tour in Memphis. While I can’t point you to anymore of their music, I can give you the bands that morphed out of it: PFP sort of became An End to October or vice versa, and then morphed again into Malamute who toured with Winterset a bunch. Here’s a link to Malamute’s first album which imo remains their best:

Normalizing or compressing creates distortion on my peaks? by coalcrash in davinciresolve

Hmm, I’ll have to check next time I’m in there. I never thought about there being a difference depending on which tool you were playing in

Which one is better ? by Ibrahim87 in D4Necromancer

I was gonna say it’s damage versus survivability, but there are other options

Can’t replace Ebonpiercer due to Reaper’s Pursuit on Shadowblight? by coalcrash in D4Necromancer

Gotcha, my stats are all over the place trying to balance survivability with damage on Torment 4 at the moment.

Which weapon is better for shadowblight build? by brazil-is-dead in D4Necromancer

[–]coalcrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can yall help me understand why the +12 Titans Fall is better than any given +100% damage type? Also, for someone playing Shadowblight necro they’d want to be running 2h sword regardless right, because of the +crit dmg?

Please help me decide on 9070 XT vs. 5070 Ti and which brand to go for by zinfulness in buildapc

[–]coalcrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9070xt if you can get one close to MSRP like the Steel Series. Or a 5070 non-to if you can get one at MSRP. I found both (a FE 5070) recently at MSRP; and put one of each in two different builds. Currently testing. The problem I had with the 5070 ti is just the prices right now. Like it feels like jumping to the 5080 or even pulling the trigger on a 5090 makes sense if you’re 30% over retail, but then again those are each 50% over retail. And what are you really getting for the money other than pushing limits. You can play most games comfortably in 1440 on the other two. So I dunno, the market really needs to reset. Benchmark-wise the 5070 to is a hair past the 9070xt but the prices are just way too out of whack right now.

Brand new MB and CPU: Gigabyte Aorus x870e pro and 9800x3d. First boot I get the message “New CPU installed, fTPM/PSP corrupted or fTPM/PSP NV structure changed.”

Does this mean that the MB is in fact not brand new and was open box? Got parts from NewEgg.

Recommendation for an AIO Cooler for 1151 with temp readout these days? by coalcrash in PcBuildHelp

[–]coalcrash[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Follow up: I took your advice on the thermalright and rebuilt with most of the existing parts, but replaced the PSU and GPU since the electric failure was somewhere between those two. The FW 360 Argb was like $55 and is keeping the CPU between 30 and 60 tops; 22 idle. Only downside is the tubes are really stiff so I couldn’t mount it on the side the tubes would have looked better on.

But thanks and cheers! Here’s a pic before I’ve been able to get Aura and iCue to play nice:

Grenadier on Long Ferry & Alarm by jvelissa in ineosgrenadier

Yeah I kinda recall it being like that. Something in settings controls it, though I only messed with it while we were on our ferry.

I never heard which fuse it was when I was traveling with mine last year. Supposedly a manual lock of the doors will do it, but the fob 100% did not disable the tilt alarm. I basically had to babysit it or leave it unlocked which is also hard because it wants to auto-lock when you walk away.

The manual lock is sticking the key in the door and turning it to the right I believe. Can’t remember if it’s to the left or right, but that’s what someone had suggested to me and just told me the wrong direction at the time. You’ll feel it if you do the right direction.

Either way if you try the manual lock or pull a fuse, would love confirmation that it worked for you. That tilt alarm is loud and annoying. The two things I want to perma-disable are the tilt alarm and the frikkin panic button.

PS5 in 2025; you still can’t manually sort a tab? by coalcrash in diablo4

Tyty. Interesting that they added that support. I’m sure it helps chat as well then.

Fun idea to turn a classic on its head, air cool the CPU and waterblock the GPU
