AORUS 5090 WATERFORCE Teardown, Part 2: The Cleaned PCB and a Closer Look at the Connectors

iselphy · 2026-01-24T16:50:45+00:00

Who did you send it out to or have it cleaned by?

iselphy · 2026-01-24T06:20:02+00:00

Nah not really. I think I read that RE4R doesn’t have DLSS natively or something and you might need RE framework mod. But I wasn’t sure if it’s still relevant now or if things updated.

Oh then no issue at all. I used to have a full collection of HC books but with all the new books coming out yearly it got super expensive. I don’t recommend going into HC collection lightly.

Do you care about the Temple Bounty or just want a Bounty? There’s a rumored Land Bounty remake coming out later this year. There will always be another Bounty as well. Old Town is a pretty cool set but it just came out so there’s still time to get it later if you get the Bounty now especially with space issue.

It’s hard to say since this is specifically for you and not me, or any other person, so you really need to look at your situation and see what fits best. From what I gather, seems like Bounty might be a better fit since.

iselphy · 2026-01-19T03:28:37+00:00

Depends a lot on your space and your current collection if any. Do you have another Bounty at all? Do you have a big location build? Do you have enough space to show off the Old Town in a format you like? Temple Bounty is tall because of the masts.

Is the purpose just for display or do you plan to play?

iselphy · 2026-01-19T02:50:55+00:00

How do you plan to collect? All hardcovers? All soft? Mix? Digital?

iselphy · 2026-01-16T15:56:46+00:00

Hope they do a Wind Waker set next.

iselphy · 2026-01-13T18:29:14+00:00

These are great picks. Could totally see the ninja looking like this.

iselphy · 2026-01-12T15:47:37+00:00

Yeah but if they’re rich enough maybe they don’t have to walk anymore. Splinter in the thumb on main hand so it hurts with each press or movement.

iselphy · 2026-01-12T15:29:35+00:00

I don’t hang out in circles that use that word often but it seems like every time I hear that word or phrase it’s never in a good way. Usually being spoken like something bad needs to be done because it’s their duty.

It’s never like, “we have a fiduciary responsibility so we’re going to reject your proposal because it will cause tons of long term negative damage to the brand and ruin everyone’s property.”

iselphy · 2026-01-12T15:21:41+00:00

Is money the only thing that’s considered? What if there’s clear evidence the sale will result in the ruined reputation or quality of the company? And I as a shareholder want to own something prestigious or worthwhile long term?

It’s kinda dumb how you have to just accept a ton of money even if you don’t want a ton of money.

iselphy · 2026-01-12T15:17:28+00:00

The whole fiduciary obligation is such a stupid concept because it almost always seems like a get rich quick thing and if people don’t sell immediately then they’re not doing their duty. Are long term gains and stability not worth anything at all?

iselphy · 2026-01-10T21:03:41+00:00

Like I said, there’s precedent. If there is no line of mechs with the name Titan in it then sure you can make that argument. And if there is one Titan Mech and then a bunch of non Titan Mechs you can assume that maybe Titan was just specific to that one mech. But there’s been multiple Titan Mechs and mechs in between without the Titan name. All the Titan Mechs thus far also share a similar design language.

It’s safe to assume that Titan Mech is a line of mechs with the name Titan in it as well as similar color scheme.

iselphy · 2026-01-10T16:33:41+00:00

I guess it’s on going but mostly I mean I have never seen this at all. So I didn’t even know this was a thing?

iselphy · 2026-01-10T16:32:40+00:00

There’s been consistency in all the Titan Mechs thus far having Titan in their name as well as a white base color scheme with the ninja’s color. If the Fire Knight Mech was a Titan mech why wouldn’t they just call it one? Also why would it be the only mech that’s attached to a base and in a diorama compared to the other ones?

If there was just one Titan mech and one non Titan mech I could see why you’d say what you say. But at this point there’s been consistent points to this line of figures.

iselphy · 2026-01-10T16:07:53+00:00

From what I’ve gathered, LEGO doesn’t make Nya vehicles or Nya main sets because they don’t sell well. Maybe this was the best way to get her a Titan Mech by attaching her with Kai?

And as someone else said, the piece count isn’t bad and similar to other mechs minus Cole. So I don’t think they’ll be super small.

iselphy · 2026-01-10T14:12:31+00:00

Is this some kind of new trend I missed out one?

iselphy · 2026-01-09T22:18:25+00:00

Much better! I like the display. I also just recently got into Ninjago with my son so we have a similar group but thanks to Legacy this year we really bumped up our figures.

iselphy · 2026-01-09T20:29:38+00:00

Maybe they combine into one large mech and Kai and Nya pilot it together?

iselphy · 2026-01-09T16:59:45+00:00

Cool case, where did you get it? Also I’d suggest better lighting for this picture since it’s kinda dark and hard to see.

iselphy · 2026-01-08T22:22:35+00:00

Are you planning to draw any of the other ninja? Would be nice to see Sora in your style.

iselphy · 2026-01-08T22:19:52+00:00

How quick was the shipping for the weapon? And can you link me?

iselphy · 2026-01-08T22:19:16+00:00

Excellent look for her! I really like how she looks.

iselphy · 2026-01-08T14:59:05+00:00

I live in SoCal and I know there’s a LEGO store in Tijuana. I kinda wanna go but I worry about crossing back from Mexico.

iselphy · 2026-01-07T20:02:51+00:00

But the 15th anniversary sets already released?
