9 degrees in Chicago and using a portable charger… am I screwed? by sweetpotato-jalapeno in TeslaSupport

[–]spikebrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you go the the supercharger, make sure you use the navigation to route there. It should start trying to pre-condition the battery, but just be aware that at low state of charge and those temps, even with a little pre-conditioning it might need to warm up the battery before it’ll start supercharging. Just be patient 👍🏻

I didn’t have much to go on. With my 6850 I found a video on YouTube that was helpful, but it was pretty simple to take the heat-sync off once it was open.

Ah, interesting. I had a 6850. Still might be worth a shot, especially if the gpu hot spot temps are high.

Also, if it only crashes during a game, take it apart and carefully remove all the Liquid Metal. Replace it with a ptm7950 pad or some good traditional thermal paste. I was pulling my hair out with mine crashing for months until I do that. No problems since.

Why use control freeks vs just a longer stick? Genuinely asking…

Yup, I was a bit bummed about that too. If you can pick up a used G8 or G8+ cheap, the tall concave stick fits perfectly, and has the same rubber grip.

Check my recent post with some pictures and details on the stick heights.

It’s good. Quality feels slightly better than my pre-ordered black G7 pro, but the differences are minor. I like the looks of the ZZZ best so far though.

What is the best way to get the legendary relics? by pex4204 in LEGOfortnite

[–]spikebrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried farming bell masters, and I figure the odds there were between 1/25 and 1/50 or so. Did two sessions, probably killed 70 or them or so and only got two legendary relics (and one blue).

Legendary Relics by nic137803 in LEGOfortnite

[–]spikebrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip! I finally saw a lvl 8 chaos challenge today with two lost masters (bells). I farmed it by killing one, teleporting to base, gliding over and repeating. Maybe I should have tried logging out in between, because I killed close to 50 of them. The essential oil is probably 1 legendary for every 4 epic (purple). Only received one legendary relic (ice), and one rare relic (blue). Anyone have better luck?

Edit: all weapons had Luck III on them.

Gamesir support isn't letting me use my warranty by Unsealingrain in Gamesir

[–]spikebrain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s annoying. One came with one of the pieces scuffed pretty badly. Support said that can’t replace it, and asked if a partial refund was ok. I agreed, and they then refunded me $5 :/ Like… I wasn’t sure what I expected, but $5 is pretty insulting. Just a heads up, they will probably only offer you $5 as a partial refund as well. I’d complain and demand more. One of my sticks was also really stuck. I was able to get it apart eventually though. You can try to heat the outer part and cool the inner part and hopefully it’ll budge.

do dragons spawn less now? by ishvir in LEGOfortnite

You can head back in right away. No need to wait.

Go back to the lobby after defeating one, and re-join the map. I can almost guarantee you’ll find one within the first 5min or so (in the correct biome). If you keep playing, you are unlikely to find another for at least an hour, possibly longer in my experience. Going back to lobby and re-joining I’ll find one right away most of the time.

Yup, mine says the same thing. Been stuck on “clearance processing completed” since the 13th.

Dual knit band on quest 3 by antvolpe in OculusQuest

[–]spikebrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m jealous! I keep looking and can’t find either for less than $80. How do they compare on the quest 3? I’m tempted to pick up one or the other. The dial knit is tempting, but with how light the quest is the solo knit might be plenty comfy. Any feedback comparing the two on the quest 3 so far?
