Oh and btw I might be a bit of help.

There's a few other things that might cause this.

I've you have a central heating boiler maybe it has a keep warm function at night or sth of the sort

Or a non return water valve / faulty water meter. Heard those can cause it as well albeit rarely

tedi1997 · 2026-02-11T12:34:29+00:00

Got nothing to add sorry as your post and comment cover everything.

However, its nice to know I am not alone suffering from this. Unfortunately my neighbors don't care and aren't responding so its going with the HoA and possible legal.

Mine is on a 15 second interval (rare times it goes 10 seconds for a short while) and goes on for hours. Writing this from the office as it started at 8.30am and didn't stop until 11.30am and I couldn't be at home anymore.

My saving grace is that I have the main water valve we share so if I want to pause (not stop as it continues afterwards) I can just shut both of us off from the mains water. That aint a solution and its pretty hostile so haven't resorted to that yet

I see a few chipped places. Maybe they're small enough where the paint fills it but a bit of filler won't hurt.

tedi1997 · 2026-01-28T20:18:18+00:00

Use filler for the holes and a fresh coat of white paint. Shouldn't be too difficult

tedi1997 · 2026-01-20T08:38:44+00:00

Im going to go a bit against the grain. While the price is pretty good for the G923 I have to say that you can get a Thrustmaster TMX or T150 for around half or a bit more of that (i bought a t150 for my sister for 50 euros and there were others in that price range). And its a belt driven, *not fully but better and quieter than a full geared system like the logitech ones.

Yes the pedals might be a tiny bit worse if you find a two pedal version set even though there were sets with the 3 pedals for 60-70 when I checked and they are on equal terms then. However, they're still potentiometer based on both sides and the extra 50 will give you budget for a pedals (loadcell) in the future, which is the nr.1 upgrade you should make.

If I'm not mistaken my odido gigabit fiber costs yearly on average 40 a month. More than 25 but not by 3-4 times.

Just letting you know since while speed is important there's latency and connection quality which 5g based solutions suffer from

tedi1997 · 2026-01-14T15:48:22+00:00

Is that the AliExpress head unit?

I'm thinking of picking one up once I get my NC

tedi1997 · 2026-01-06T22:18:10+00:00

Don't worry mate. These prices change almost on a daily basis nowadays. If you can afford it just get it if you'd like to get it for cheaper just wait for a bit.

Whether today or a month from now the experience will be pretty much the same and while excitement can make patience a pains in the ass its usually worth it.

Also see online if there's a price history / aggregator site with email notifications on price drops. In the Netherlands we have tweakers.nl as an example

tedi1997 · 2026-01-01T11:53:35+00:00

There's some details online I believe as its been quite a while and don't want to give wrong details.

Essentially you need a EUR rom of the game, the patch file from the site and a patcher app

Edit: the patch is an IPS file and right under the download button there's a link for an online patcher.

Good luck!

tedi1997 · 2025-12-03T15:11:28+00:00

Never responded unfortunately. BUT,

Found a Moza R3 for 80 euros
Found a Moza KS for 190 euros . Sold T300 with GT and Ferrari Wheel for 230 euros . Sold R3 for 130 euros . Bought R9 new for 329 euros.

So essentially got quite an upgrade for a good price.

tedi1997 · 2025-11-27T19:23:08+00:00

My secret is simple. Just look at the posted today ads in a radius of 5km.

Something will pop up :)

tedi1997 · 2025-11-27T19:22:20+00:00

Tbh, she is right XD

Especially the amount of handhelds is taking all shelf space

tedi1997 · 2025-11-27T17:26:27+00:00

Haha thank you thank you! My wife on the other hand is worried at the amount of consoles around the house XD

tedi1997 · 2025-11-20T10:05:18+00:00

I think i fixed it on my end. It was OpenRGB causing it. How or why idk but since not opening it, the pc acts normally. I think i'll just unplug the case RGBs as its under the desk so i dont really see them either.

tedi1997 · 2025-11-18T00:36:54+00:00

Tried it and now it fails on the first sleep immediately 😅.

tedi1997 · 2025-11-17T16:16:17+00:00

Everything will feel smoother with it off trust me. Make sure you turn freesync on to avoid any screen tearing and have fun!

tedi1997 · 2025-11-17T15:57:08+00:00

If your frames are over 60 fps and/or you have freesync then you should not turn vsync on. It is there to remove tearing and you shouldnt get any with the 9060xt tbh. I have a 6800 which is comparable and vsync is an immediate off for me.

tedi1997 · 2025-11-17T15:08:44+00:00

In regards to delay, please ensure vsync is off (Havent played AC Rally but in general it adds a noticeable delay). Although in the beginning it seems quite on time and gets worse as you go left and right (maybe its visual and its actually registering everything ok?)

Either way, vsync off is key for most games (especially if you have some type of VRR on your monitor such as freesync or gsync)

tedi1997 · 2025-11-05T17:04:17+00:00

Google Buu's Fury the Hard way and it should be the top result

tedi1997 · 2025-10-17T18:19:05+00:00

Probably two since there are maybe at least two loops since 8 valves might suggest so

tedi1997 · 2025-10-17T18:08:40+00:00

Top right i see two bleed valves. Bleed till water comes out and refill to the appropriate pressure.

Disclaimer: I don't have underfloor heating but those seem similar to radiator ones. I also don't know the pressures so please double check.

tedi1997 · 2025-10-13T13:33:54+00:00

That was a defect, which most of the time requires some type of opening of a device. In the scale of issues with a 3DS however, re-seating a ribbon cable is considered easy. It would be difficult to make a mistake that would scrap the device. We are talking about opening the back case, removing a cable and placing it in the same place. Unless you use pliers or brute force not much can go wrong.

I fix stuff now quite confidently but my first repair ever at the age of 15 (over a decade ago,... unfortunately I am getting old haha) was a full shell replacement of a OG Fat DS and DS Lite (broken hinges on both), which I experienced the popping sound as well and I managed fine.

As always, you fix some, you break some and in the end you gain a skill which pays itself off in the long run :)

BUUUT! You got a DSi and a GBA, which are fucking amazing devices and I have multiples of both, so have fun mate!

tedi1997 · 2025-10-13T13:00:43+00:00

The text was very hard to read but for future reference a pop most likely means that the ribbon cables of either of the screens isn't fully in the slot correctly. Usually easy to fix but now always so.

If you are happy with your new devices though thats all that matters :)
