- You can get the Gan X with the V5 IPG at bit.ly/2IwEX6M and save at checkout with discount code SCR
Getting the IPG v5 version of the Gan X will save you about 10% of the price compared to the numerical one. Is it worth the price cut... or is it better?

I made a mistake, clear magnets are the strongest. The yellow actually feels good with the tensions I have though so I am going to keep it for now.
Hey speedcube review, what do you think about the idea of the numerical tensions being 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 instead of 0.6, 0,8, and 1.0? Seems like most people would like it, I personally like 0.8, but someone like you can use 0.4, while most people use 0.6
ipg v5 so bad. because you can upset tensioning screw. like GAN 356 R so bad
dude i was about to comment that you messed up on that part.
I PREFER THE IPG V5 because is 5 $ cheaper and i thing is not that flexible. Sry im only 11 and from Slovenia, so im not good in English
@@the1barbarian781 below 0.6 and it'll no longer corner cut I'd say. The green spring 0.8 setting feels to me like the SM setting with blue springs.
That 9.97 at the beginning of the solves was very smooth
Check instagram. There was a 9.17 that was even smoother later in the day.
Just saw it, very nice
I personally use the middle tension for the x with green springs
These spring naming schemes are too confusing!
Ik this is off topic but I love your background, matches the aesthetic of your vids
Again I see another comment of you on another cubing video 😂
You are everywhere wtf🤯
Not much info on the v5. Thanks for making this.. I picked up the gan 356 v5 because of this video.. love it
I really needed this video thanks alot for explaining it this makes my decision alot easier
Yes
So what did you buy?
Me too
True
very helpful video ive been having a hard time in which one should i purchase thanks
I am really glad you made a comparison between the two. I have yet to see anything similar on CZcams. I just purchased the Cosmic Gan 356 X M (IPG V5), Cosmic Wusque Mini M, and the Cosmic Valk 2 M (2x2). Took a while to decide between Numerical and IPG V5 but they explained everything to me. Just waiting for everything to arrive then practice to get faster. Thanks for the video!
Gan 356x is so beautiful, I can’t handle it 😌
Thx 4 ur help!🤗
Thank you!
SpeedCubeReview I thank you so much for giving these information hope ypur channel grows
Ypur
Which one do you choose?
@ender gaming ok thx
i actually had slipping springs about 3 months after buying, but opted to just buy a new set instead. didn't want to wait around forever for warranty stuff. i thought maybe the plastic nuts were wearing out at the threads. they would just slide off the axles and the cube would start coming apart
One side on my IPG V5 loosens itself to a noticeable degree like every 20 solves. Not sure if I overlubed that one side (I used Lubicle black) or anything but it's really annoying since the cube is my main. If it helps, I have green nuts installed
Clean it. You should not be lubing the springs.
Nice comparison video. I've been thinking about purchasing one for awhile now. The one little thing that bothers me about the GANS line of cubes is the circular center sticker. On a side note, which timer are you using on your iPhone?
FiveTimer
@@SpeedCubeReview Thanks! When I saw the author's name I knew it would be a good program. I use to enjoy his videos on CZcams when I first started speedcubing a long time ago.
At 2:24 does that work(evening the nut with the rod) on the older GES springs?? Like on the Gan 356 Air?
That's what I say
Um, it you read the magnet pamphlet it says clear is the strongest.
i use blue and ive had zero corner twist and i got it 2 weeks ago and have done hundreds of solves.
Are those nuts works in gan 356 r?
Does anyone know if the black color-clip pieces of a stickered of Gan 356X fit on a stickerless version of the same puzzle? I like changing the yellow color with black...
The black ones are a solid piece for all three sides of the corner or two sides of the edge.
Ok so I thought at first it couldn't possibly be that loose on the tightest settings but went back and checked and it was possible to move it as you did but that's not usually how I check tensions. For me I like a light cube, I use the SM on blues and feel maybe slightly lighter might be better. I use the X on greens and sometimes feel like wanting it a bit lighter and other times a bit heavier. However both blues are too light and yellows are too heavy for me. I don't think the tensions would suit those that prefer yellows or greater in an SM, most people that I see like the X like a fast cube.
Commander ZiN he’s not most ppl...
HE USES THE RED SPRINGS :0
The 356 R has IPG V5 right? Also can u buy ges nuts separately and change the factory added ges nuts on the 356 R? PLEASE HELP.
It is the v5 core. It comes with the strongest springs. Currently the place to get extra springs is to contact a place like SpeedCubeShop for replacement parts or order a Gan X.
I live in india. We have cubelelo which sells replacement parts for each cube. Its easy to get ges nuts as well as mf3rs2 springs for a gts2. But im glad i can add different ges nuts to my 356 r.
Should i get the cosmic gan 35y x or just the regular gan 356 ipg v5
Depends if you want it professionally set up or not.
Cool
Hello ! Really great vid! I wish I could make vids with intresting content like this.... I hope I could get this level of awesome by this summer. Lol 😆
Just have fun. When I make videos, I make them for myself. I spend time editing because I enjoy the process. The views are just a perk to the process
@@SpeedCubeReview that sounds pretty cool. Thanks!
What app is that
The GES v3's threading is fragile, I've had 2 of them strip on me so I ordered one with the numeric IPG
Ralphie H same
same, except i just ordered more nuts. sad/glad it's not just me. really wish they'd put a thin metal lining in the threads to lock to the metal core without wearing the plastic down.
I started with the yellow nuts and after thousands of solves the cube got harder to turn, even though I cleaned it a few times so I've switched to the green nuts and it felt like how it did when it was new again.. Also I've pretty much worn the GAN logo right off the white centre.
Anthony Rochester dang that’s a lot of solves 😂
My Air SM did the same after a few hundred solves, but to an extreme. I had to switch to the purple nuts, put them extra loose, and it still really hard to turn and extremely sluggish, no matter how I clean it or lube it (this never happened with my other brand cubes). Now I'm holding back on getting the 356 X because I'm scared it will do the same. It would suck to pay this much money for a cube that becomes unusable so quick. Do you think the 356 X is worth it?
The springs don’t slow cubes down, and cubes don’t just become sluggish.with the almost 20 Gan cubes I have I have never experienced that. If anything springs will break in and the cube will become faster. If yours is slowing down, it’s not the springs that are causing that. Clean it a bit more thoroughly and then get a lubricant like Lunar. Even people like Max Park purposely slow their Gan down because it’s too fast.
maybe I'm just not using the right kind or amount of lube.
@@cookiecubing1235 I practice a lot but I'm still slow
What is the timer on the iPhone?
FiveTimer
the numerical ipg use what colour ges and what tention you use
Whatever you want.
can anybody help me? i want to know what does IPG acronym mean?
let's pretend it's an anagram :D makes it mroe fun
GEORGE MASHINGTON or pig my mans
Thank you very much for this video, I wish that I could see this video before.
but now I already have 356 X IPg V5.
I am using the yellow GES nuts, after some time I decided to go back to green nuts , but now I want to go back to the yellow GES, but I am really afraid of breaking them.
I have heard from my friends that they have broke their 354 M GES because they have swapped them couple of times. They said that the hole will be heavily damaged after swapping for some times. and eventually they wont stick on the screw.
Now I cant go back to the yellow set because I dont want to break them :"$
any tips ?
Also I thought that the clear magnets were the strongest ones not the yellow, are you sure that the yellow set is stronger that the clear one ?
Thanks a lot ^^
Clear is stronger than yellow. Just like springs.
Thanks a lot for correcting my misunderstanding.
Can I have some Tips for the GES problem that I am afraid of ?
They shouldn’t be permanently damaged. If they are contact Gan with the number on your warranty card.
Dude after 3 months of me having a issue with my green ges nuts (broke).
I finally fixed them yesterday.. According to me what I did was really smart. If you have any issue with the ipgv5 ask me I can help you out

I’ve read that some people have problem with the spring loosening itself on the IPG v5. So you should not lube that area at all (screw and the spring), or how do you lube it if you should?
Do not lube the spring area
This is to anybody who is sub-15.
I'm struggling to break the 15 second barrier. I've been stuck averaging about 15.1 for the past 3 months and have just stopped getting faster. I'm in the process of learning full OLL (only 10 algs left) but that doesn't seem to be helping. I'm working on using less cube rotations during my F2L since I feel like that's my biggest weakness but I haven't improved in 3 months (which is incidentally about how long my 9.27 PB has stood). Can anybody help?
Nothing wrong. That’s normal. Progress is not linear and it may take a year to get under 14. Maybe a couple years for 13. Even the top solvers in the world take years to move one second. Learn full OLL. Don’t use algs for most F2L, reduce rotations, practice SLOWLY, and have fun.
Avoid rotation(for f2l or pll u can do random u moves to avoid rotation)
U need efficient cross n good f2l algs
Learn some skip cases for pll oll or ll
Drill ur algs..practice more
Record ur solves and see what u could have done better(less pauses or smthn)
Just use roux... jk XD
Dammit I still don't know because some people say that go with the IPG v5 but some people say that it's trash and go with the Numerical. Anyone got any help?
Check when I show the difference is.
SpeedCubeReview thanks, but I know the differences I just can't decide. Thanks for your help tho.
You don't have to answer, but one thing that may help is does the Gan IPG V5 feel any less buttery smooth or any worse in any way (other than the tension system)
I like my cube really loose so I think the numerical will be fine
I use red nuts on my gans sm
why?
So the Numerical IPG could have uneven tensions because the screws can be messed around with the fingers? I don't understand 😅
Edit: Sorry, you meant the V5 was the one where some people had the screws undoing
How did you remove the logo?
Just some nail polish remover and some scrubbing with a magic eraser
SpeedCubeReview I don’t have either of them
IPG v5 is really good
Is the non numerical one your main?
Check what I say in the video
Ik that you prefer it over the numerical ipg, but Is it your main over other cubes?
I never have a "main" I literally change my cube daily and pick up a different one each time. Just the other day I was using a mini cubing classroom, before that the GTS WRm, and before that the Kylin v2.
SpeedCubeReview ok fair enough, thanks for answering
Did you like the Kylin V2?
Found it a little blocky
How did you change the GAN logo for the speedcubeshop logo?
Just put a sticker over the gan logo.
No, the logo had to be removed. I used a bit of nail polish remover and scrubbing with a magic eraser.
What Should I Buy? Numerical Ipg
Or Ipg v5
Watch this video as I go over the differences and which core might be best for you.
@@SpeedCubeReview But You Were The One Who's Asked, Which One Suits You?
I cannot answer which one you would prefer. If you want to know what I prefer, I go over that in this video.
Stickered or stickerless is good
Either
Witch is best? I don't speak english
@RubenDirk Gre why?
@@rafaelinfanteleon my opinion might be the same as him, the v5's tension can sometimes messed up and changed... but i'll still prefer v5 since i dont like loose cubes and with tension messing up you can still fix it, but being loose cant be changed... in these cubes i mean
@@safwanharis4116 thanks
I’m kind of Confused so which one is the tight one IPG v5 or the Numerical?
They both can be adjusted, the V5 can be adjusted tighter and looser than the numerical one
Many Experienced, fast cubers like looser cubes, because they can control it well enough. The looser version of the X could be for those cubers.
That is not true. Fast cubers are also more controlled. Cubes that are looser don’t perform better. They actually can lock up even more because it flexes and locks up. The misunderstanding is that looser cubes allow you to be more inaccurate or “rough” when really it the opposite.
SpeedCubeReview stfu
S A D B O Y why don’t you kid, no one asked you to be here
Is numerical ipg or ipg v5 better?
You're on the right video for that answer.
I know but still :/
Like is the ipg 5 tighter or what
I go over this in the video.
Oh, ok gonna listen to it again
My main gan X numerical ipg
DCP CUBER same
Which one is better guys? Numerical or v5??
Check the video. That's what I go over
SpeedCubeReview, I think the numerical is better..in my opinion.
like=numerical ipg
comment=v5
I
P
G
V
5
numerical ipg is better cuz it is more convenient than ipg v5 and it can be changed more easily ipg v5 is too annoying cuz it is like just a basic spring ang screw so i think numerical ipg is better in many ways
Which is better, stickered or stickerless?
Neither is better. It’s whatever you like to look at.
@@SpeedCubeReview will the logo of Gan in the stickered one will come of easily? I heard that in the stickerless one, the logo is printed but not in the stickered. I like logos on my cubes :)
After about 10,000 solves I have not had the logos come off. I had to take them off with special polish.
If I can only find the Numerical IPG, is it too much of a bad thing compared to V5. I really need a good cube, long lasting.
Numerical is fine, I just prefer more adjustment options.
@@SpeedCubeReview Thank you for the fast response. 356X V2 doesn't inspire confidence with that full plastic core and the matte surface plastic always gets dirty, hard to clean.
What is your main 3x3?
He doesnt have a main
Lol I like the numerical 😂
So which do you think is better?
I go over that in the video
Gan x ipg 5 or v2
I prefer v5
Which is better?
Gms
White is the strongest
Oh shoot. You’re right
Black or stickerless?
Either. Depends on what you like to see
I want a 356 x to flex but I’m too poor so i get the ipg v5
bro its just 5$ more
Erez Porat exactly that’s why the ipg v5 is completely pointless
@@mkay2970 agree
The v5 is the cheaper one I recommend. It’s certainly not pointless.
SpeedCubeReview someone understands
pole
Team Numerical
Agreed.
Aye
I personally like it looser
I personally think that the numeral ipg is wayy not worth it. Not that it’s better, it’s just not worth paying the extra $11 for being able to take out springs with your hand. You’re not even going to use it that much. After you’ve gotten your favourite tensions, most likely the next time you’ll use it it when you’re lubing it. In addition, it’s also very inaccurate doing it with your hands. THIS IS NOT AN ESSAY.
Yellow 1.0 is too tight Green .6 is too loose:(
Jv Cubes then use .8 I’m pretty sure that is on there
I would love a spring set in between yellow and green it's a big jump up between those 2 than the others. I think some people might like stronger though.
What? 0.6 is the most tight tension, and 1.0 is the most loose
.8 is even tighter
.6 is the tightest. .8 is looser an 1 is the loosest. It’s the distance between the core and the piece. .6 is the closest and therefor tightest.
pls giveaway the numerical one.......
As it's the only one I have I need it for comparisons and future reviews. Please do not ask for giveaways.
@@SpeedCubeReview go on, please...
I have a doubt
Of...?
@@SpeedCubeReview thx a lot for replying fast
I have I gan 356x ipgv5
I bought it one year ago
When I got it it was outstanding but now it has lock ups and its tensions are automatically loosening I'm seriously dissatisfied with it I payed 4200 rupees for it and this is what I get ?
Pls help me
Lockup's happen from the Cuber, not the cube. If you lubed the springs, clean it. They should not be lubed.
Clean the cube and start fresh. I've used the same cubes for many many years. They don't "go bad".
@@SpeedCubeReview Thx BTW I have another doubt so if I tight my Ipgv5 tensions with green nuts very tight then will the nuts stop doing their job cuz now my cube 😠 is loosening automatically while solving and then pops out you know how bad it feels like
Clean the pieces. You may just have lube on them. I've used the same cube for years now. If it's an issue, contact Gan. That is why you get a warranty card with the cube.
you should have bought the v5 first
That wasn't possible. The Numerical was the only one in stock at first.
ohhh my bad
ipg v5 so bad. because you can upset tensioning screw. like GAN 356 R so bad
Never upset a single screw on any of my Gan puzzles.
@@SpeedCubeReview I mean GES v3 on IPG v5. if you often rotate GES v3 it will damage the GES v3 hole. believe me
I've never had that ever happen on this or the 354 which uses the same GES. If you ever have that you have an extra plus GAN will replace it since you have the warranty card.
Numerical is expensive
Normal ipg is cheaper
551st!
I m the fifteen comment and like in 25
It's my birthday
ThePermfectCuber happy birthday dude that’s awesome!
Happy birthday
I am sorry
You wont get the cube
Oh cookie Big fan here
What present you got
When I clicked on this video there were 460 views... GAN 460 IS COMING BACK
Meh
Rich Cubers: hahahaa peasent only 2 gan X i have 5
Poor Cubers: lucky you have 2 i have 00
last
No you.... I mean no me
Gan 356 i is better！(of cause it is not true 😂)
Leo borromeo made an average with it if you didnt see
When you run out of ideas for videos
I have a list of a lot of things I plan to do.
SpeedCubeReview then pls do those instead of explaining that if you can have incredibly tight tensions then the cube is better
Actually, this was a highly requested video. This is not just about tensioning a puzzle but the difference between IPG v5 and Numerical and which one might be preferred. If you are not interested in the difference between the two cores you are free to wait for a video that you find more useful for yourself.
I was actually waiting for someone to make this video and finally Shawn did it xD
yeah absolutely,he covered all the info needed.
