Can't waith Ryzen7000, RTX4000 release. ~4k$ budget. Also getting new 32" 1440p screen. <3 My FX-8120 cpu and GTX660 gpu is starting to show AGE. Not sure why you're spending so much on the PC, $4K is hell of a lot especially considering you're currently getting by with an FX 8120 and GTX660. Wouldn't you do far better just getting current gen stuff like the i7 12700F processor and an RTX 3080 and obviously make sure you have enough SSD and RAM. You'd get a system that's way better than your existing system for $1.5K and almost the same as the $4K system you described. You could then spend the left over $2.5K on a nice new wheel! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pc will be closer to 3k. +other nice things +that screen. I'm thinking about getting RTX4060, it should perform like RTX3080 if not 4070, but be same, or even cheaper. I build pc once 5-10 years.. It's been 8 years, time to upgrade - when i do that, i get best things you can for money. Even if i would build pc now, Ryzen 5800x/RTX3080 it would cost 2500euro here.. In my country. For example Ryzen 5800x cost 350euro and 3080 cost 1100euro. That already is 1500$ that you mentioned. Add psu, case, ram, mobo.. It's easy ~3k +500$ screen. Also not buying the cheapest parts.. Mobos that i like - wi-fi, bluetooth also cost near 250-300.. It has gotten expensive... My original system costed 500euro. Of course i will spend as much as i only need.. Cheaper the better. My budget is max 4k i meant. It's expensive also, because i'm going from 1080p to 1440p screen. Meaning i need more expensive gpu to run most games, etc.. If i kept 1080p gaming i could easy go 3060.

alcatraz Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Begode riders (like me) are used to hearing fire jokes (we often laugh along) but considering the latest reports are of Kingsong and Inmotion, I fear there could be some backlash coming. Do many Inmotion and Kingsong riders have a sense of humor? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is ridiculously funny, are the owner supposed to sit and wait for 3 hours ore more, to monitor the charging process, because the hardware design is so unbelievably bad that if an errors occurs, the sh*t can not even figure out to end the charging process by itself?

At this stage the batteries are imbalanced from each other severely and are an actual fire risk. So yes, they expect you to keep an eye on it. Mods: Perhaps this needs to be split off to keep the Fire History thread on topic?

Doh to that happen it would take like 1 year of not using euc? Or even more time. If you use wheel weekly, it should not happen. I presume of course..

360rumors Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) New fire reported. Wheel: Begode RS HS. "RS with over 5600 miles and countless jumps and falls" Description of incident: "I was riding like normal, then I got pre mature tilt back and came home because it wouldn’t go over 5mph. I figured it was a firmware issue or something because I wasn’t doing anything at the time to break it. I didn’t have time to research the issue, so I left it sitting for a few days and went along with life. Woke up for work at 5 AM on a Monday and heard explosions. Checked the garage and sure enough everything was on fire in there. I got it from eWheels. It was one of the first models that was shipped."

Popular Post Wolverine Posted June 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2022 As we know, there have been some V11 unicycles on fire recently. The manufacturer has completed the investigation and made a decent report of it. As it turns out, people have ignored the warnings given by the device, and unfortunately at some point the device has caught fire. In view of the above, it is perfectly understandable why the manufacturer forced us to update the firmware to 1.4.15. The report is available here, please take a look at it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b4sLAKincR0dr6TnWbMKPjE152Cqn5Ti/view?usp=sharing 6 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
