But 10 out of 10 the most sure fire way to ruin my drivers is afterburner. It's basically guaranteed if I keep it open for more than 30 seconds

[nocturne flicker]

Ebay good sometimes. And I am not saying this so Ebay doesn't send me live cockroaches

[fair onyx]

I just completely forgot because I was showing the sound of my GPU fans at 100% to a friend that was looking to buy the same card, and then we ended up getting caught up in a conversation and I completely forgot to turn it off, and now my drivers are just ruined

[mortal grail]

For nvsurround if you change the display settings like, 5 times in a row after that

Or you reboot like twice after

Broken

Need ddu

Multi gpu can be just as bad in my experience

Even without sli involved

You're reaching into things beyond consumer with consumer hardware and (probably) consumer level windows

When you know

Windows is made for a $400 laptop with an igpu

[craggy shoal]

Skill issue + just use FanControl (idk what the issue is)

[mortal grail]

Since business sector represents like 60% of most consumer pc revenue

[mortal grail]

Was about to say lol

[craggy shoal]

Too much yap from Satan

[wary fjord]

afterburner can cost instability sometimes xD back when my card is new rdna 1 days

blackscreen go brr when that thing is on

xD

but it gets eventually

i dont know whats the point of using afterburner tbh on amd side

[craggy shoal]

I don't overclock lol my GPU is already good enough

[wary fjord]

we have software that can do the same

we can control fan

and oc mem and the clock

[mortal grail]

I would give the credit where it's due afterburner is still probably the best tool for what it does

But yeah if it's obviously causing problems then don't use it

Pc don't want to OC

Lol

[craggy shoal]

I bet I could get my GPU to 3GHz lol

It already hits 2850 MHz in COD lol

[wary fjord]

there oc thats stable now and slowly declining the stabless later on

like after few months xD its not working anymore and u dint even change anything

the only thing i like to use is riva tuner

the overlay part they use in msi afterburner

thats the only thing i want on it xD

i cant play unlock fps since my current heat index is 55c

i think its bad to do it xD

[craggy shoal]

$60 for a decade-old COD is crazy

[nocturne flicker]

The CoD prices are always like that, they rarely go on sale and then they go back to release price. It was even worse on the console stores back during the PS3 era, they never went on sale

[ancient swift]

Anyway for black ops 2 you're better off getting it on Xbox cause the servers are safe, as opposed to Steam cod servers

[nocturne flicker]

The CoD franchise pack is nearly 1k

[craggy shoal]

@rancid juniper go checkout night runners on steam

[rancid juniper]

Already have and played it

[nocturne flicker]

Also, the first CoD, as in the 2003 game is $20

[rancid juniper]

Cool game

[swift sable]

wanna play it with me

i got it for like 8 bucks thankfully

used to play it all the time on 360

[dusk knot]

Lool

[swift sable]

BACK IN MY DAY!!!!

[nocturne flicker]

Imagine the sheer arrogance it takes to sell a twenty year old, digital copy of a game for 20

[ancient swift]

Thats the thing, they don't want you to buy it. But removing games from steam pisses gamers off.

[nocturne flicker]

Why wouldn't they want you to buy it, free money on a game that was developed by people who probably left the company a decade ago with no maintenance fees

[ancient swift]

Because it eats the players of their current title?

[nocturne flicker]

Nobody is going to be spending so much time in the first couple of CoD games that they never play any of the new ones. Those games were a you play it once and you are done experience

[ancient swift]

Sports fans aren't like cod fans in that regard. Cod players will definitely go back to older games if its convienent. Like when the BO2 servers fixed on xbox the game got a fairly large amount of people to return to it.

People with Modded 360s literally took them out to ruin the game again for people 😭

[nocturne flicker]

...These are 20 year old games with no dedicated servers to the point they are listed as singleplayer games

[ancient swift]

The older cod games starting with 3 are security vulnerabilities on PC. 3 up to Bo4 I think.

[craggy shoal]

There is no BO4

[ancient swift]

BO4 is on bnet and had decent zombies. We didn't know what we had until it was gone 💔

[velvet summit]

https://youtu.be/c6MybIuRu8A

[craggy shoal]

forgot about this mess

[ancient swift]

outside of zombies* lol

[velvet summit]

https://youtu.be/tSSQPqv0xrg

[craggy shoal]

I miss zombies

[rancid juniper]

lan play and splitscreen games was the best era imo

[nocturne flicker]

Eh, I don't particularly miss it. I only played with randos so it was usually a meh experience, not a big fan of MP of any sorts anyways

[craggy shoal]

Same but it was fun when you'd have your cousins come over and all play splitscreen

[rancid juniper]

funny how the only cod games i ever played was mobile and warzone

both of which uninstalled

[craggy shoal]

It's not as good as it used to be :(

[rancid juniper]

takes up too much space and just boring ngl

[nocturne flicker]

I played Cold War about 3 years after it came out in offline mode, I did the stuff, it was fine.

[craggy shoal]

2012:
COD players: I play COD and I enjoy it
Any other FPS players: ewwww COD?

2024:
COD players: I play COD and it's the worst $70 I've ever spent
Any other FPS players: yeah you're an idiot
COD players: I know

[nocturne flicker]

I just don't enjoy fps games anymore

[rancid juniper]

my laptop's ssd is on overdrive

LOL

[nocturne flicker]

I've become a HoI addict

[craggy shoal]

This guy is utilizing the whole drive 💀

funny hardware moment

[rancid juniper]

its steam doing that

[craggy shoal]

Steam moment

[rancid juniper]

lol its patching palworld

[nocturne flicker]

Though I might return to FO4 soon. That's an fps. And pretty much nothing else

[swift sable]

ITS A TRAP

DONT

youll get too many headaches from trying to mod

[craggy shoal]

This guy considers Fallout 4 an FPS

[nocturne flicker]

It sure as heck isn't an rpg

[swift sable]

yes it is

[craggy shoal]

It is though 💀

[rancid juniper]

i got some bethesda games and i dont feel the urge to play let alone complete it

[swift sable]

average smooth brained FO4 hater

fallout new vegas is not as good as you think bro.

[proud jackal]

[craggy shoal]

I'm downloading Fallout 4 and actually play the whole game just because of this okayish argument

[swift sable]

FO4 is easily the most immersive fallout

[nocturne flicker]

Most watered down rpg I've ever played. Here is four dialogue options, one is be nice, one is be a jerk, one is ask for money and the other is ask question

[rancid juniper]

bruv

[craggy shoal]

@nocturne flicker I haven't ever gotten through an hour of FO4 and now I'm playing it later tonight because you're talking about it like this

[swift sable]

https://tenor.com/view/igidan8-gif-24932788

i have 850+ hours on FO4

i enjoyed every hour of it

i just stopped playing because modding is too big a headache

[nocturne flicker]

And don't get me wrong, it isn't a terrible game. I've put 400 hours in the thing. It just isn't outstanding

[craggy shoal]

Don't they have their own built-in mods section in the game?

[swift sable]

i hope you dont mean creation club

[nocturne flicker]

There is the Bethesda mods thingy that is garbage

It is connected to your Bethesda account

[swift sable]

we dont talk about creation club

oh that too

lmao

[nocturne flicker]

It was what console players had to use for mods

[swift sable]

yea lmao

[nocturne flicker]

It wasn't CC, that was paid mods

[swift sable]

I always used NMM then Vortex when that came out, then finally MO2

[craggy shoal]

Skyrim has it on PC though

[nocturne flicker]

Skyrim also had a steam workshop

[rancid juniper]

skyrim mobile when?

[craggy shoal]

What I like to see

[nocturne flicker]

They just integrated it in the PC versions too

[swift sable]

I had like 45GB of texture mods when I played FO4 💀

[rancid juniper]

[swift sable]

wait no that mightve been all my mods combined

i forgor

[velvet summit]

https://youtu.be/x_u0Rm4GxH8

[craggy shoal]

45GB worth of texture mods? Send them to me, a beginner FO4 player (right here in #general-chat) 🗿

[nocturne flicker]

Its why FO4 didn't have a workshop, they wanted people to use their own mod site

[swift sable]

dont worry i didnt have any naked lady mods

[velvet summit]

aw

[craggy shoal]

Oh not those kinds of textures

nvm

don't care

[swift sable]

lmao this mod alone is 23GB

totally transformed the environment

it went private after everyone started boycotting Nexus so i have it archived

[velvet summit]

what happened to nexus

☠️

what did they do

[swift sable]

the whole mod collections thing

people hated it

[nocturne flicker]

They forced modders to allow all of their stuff into the collections

[swift sable]

and ngl a lot of them seem kinda mid or worse

my modlist was definitely better

and i never finished it

It was based around Horizon

made the game's progression feel way more rewarding and fleshed out. as well as making the game more immersive in like every way from survival elements to visuals/story

[nocturne flicker]

Horizon is the only reason I'm coming back. Besides Fallout London, I'm going to give that a try when it is out

[craggy shoal]

I want cereal

[nocturne flicker]

Was waiting a bit for Zaw to put out a couple more updates to 1.9 and for other mods to be updated for it

[velvet summit]

https://youtu.be/Pjf_HPQVJTk

https://youtu.be/LO1mTELoj6o

[sinful blade]

I love collections

Why would people hate them

They’re incredibly useful if you want to share your mod list or have a starting point for mods

Or don’t wanna spend hours looking for some

[craggy shoal]

lowkey saying bruh

"Let's boycott the only modding platform we use because they added a feature"

yeah okay 💀

[mental yoke]

What are some good gaming headphones (with no mics). With a $60 budget

[sinful blade]

A good feature**

[craggy shoal]

$60 for good headphones is rare. But I'm picky, so I won't say anything

I'm religiously against stuff like Razer, but others will differ lol

[velvet summit]

no headphone has a mic

[craggy shoal]

(Just save up for Sennheisers and you're good)

[velvet summit]

headsets are the ones with the mic

[craggy shoal]

Apple Earbuds

[mental yoke]

Well I have a HyperX and the right side keeps having this static sound and going out occasionally

[pliant berry]

Koss has nice cheap stuff but they are for function not looks

[craggy shoal]

Yeah this is why I don't like "gaming" headsets

[mortal grail]

Koss fans unite

[velvet summit]

also there is basically no difference between "gaming" headphones or regular headphones

outside of rgb

[pliant berry]

🙏

[mental yoke]

either way what are some good ones that I should get

[velvet summit]

or "gamer" aesthetics

[mortal grail]

Koss ksc75

[velvet summit]

for the price you listed, the koss porta pros are like the best for that budget

[mental yoke]

i could get the big bulky podcast ones for all I care

[mortal grail]

Porta pros

[velvet summit]

or whatever it was

[mortal grail]

Pc38x

Real headphones

No gamer fakes

[nocturne flicker]

Modders hated them because there was no opt out, their opinions weren't taken into consideration and there was worries that problems with the collections would be directed to the modders rather than the collection makers

[mortal grail]

Koss have good ones on drop.com for $40-ish

[craggy shoal]

mmm BIG risk

[tranquil pebble]

My fists ran out of ammo ||CoD: Cold War||

[mental yoke]

wtf i just saw the Amazon listings

what kinda bs is this

[nocturne flicker]

Further, modders were told either to let Nexus do that with their mods or get out and take your stuff with you when you go. So some people did

[mortal grail]

That's what old school headphones look like

Porta pros have a mic on them if you need one

[mental yoke]

bruh

any GOOD ones?

[mortal grail]

They mimic the 80's style studio sets that big brands used to sell

They are good

[velvet summit]

huh

porta pros dont have headphones

er

mics

[mortal grail]

It does

Do you want a picture?

Lol

[mental yoke]

okay what about Skullcandy?

[mortal grail]

Skullcandy is terrible

[mental yoke]

yeah so are those Koss ones

[mortal grail]

Bass boosted to death like razer

[velvet summit]

https://koss.com/en-ca/products/porta-pro it's just a trs connector

[nocturne flicker]

And in the end, I don't use collections and I don't want to. I use modding guides to help streamline what I make but other than that I chose what goes in to what I play.

[mortal grail]

I'm gonna go take a pic

Lol

[pliant berry]

besides koss there are a lot of iems on the market now that are great for the price

[nocturne flicker]

I don't let some random person on the internet who has no idea what they are doing to chose for me

[pliant berry]

they have another version with a in line mic

[velvet summit]

oh they have a mic version

i didnt even know

how's the mic lmfao

[pliant berry]

well, it works xD

[velvet summit]

damn they even have a boom version

[nocturne flicker]

After all, if you just do what ever collection peaks your interest, you'll never find the low popularity but good mods random people put up on Nexus

[mortal grail]

Not bad for how small it is

[pliant berry]

oh you have blackout ones

[velvet summit]

but yeah base model doesnt have it

[pliant berry]

that actually looks pretty nice

[velvet summit]

i thought i was going crazy when you mentioned that it had a mic

[tranquil pebble]

Playing CoD Cold War makes me think a CoD RPG wouldnt be so bad

[mortal grail]

Idk I ordered the drop version for $40

Lol

They were on a sale

Really really nice neutral tone

Slightly warm

[mental yoke]

okay what about the Audio-Technica ATH-AD500x

[velvet summit]

didnt you say $60 budget

[nocturne flicker]

The CoD writers are already bad at making original stories, don't ask that to be their main focus

[mental yoke]

i mean close enough

[velvet summit]

🧐

[mental yoke]

okay at least under 100 bucks

[mental yoke]

wtf

[velvet summit]

oh wait that's in cad

[velvet summit]

doesnt say the price on the us site

sold by amazon.com so it seems legit so yeah that's good

well, sounds good

apparently plastic feels cheap

[mental yoke]

are you aware on how the sound quality is tho

[mortal grail]

That's leagues better than skullcandy

[velvet summit]

that leaves the question of why it was $230 on at's site for canada

[mental yoke]

well this is starting to sound promising

[velvet summit]

it has the seal of approval of r/headphones at least

or at least by a single user

lmao

[mortal grail]

Audio technica has a number of decent options

Just often outshined by others

[velvet summit]

though in my experience, audio technica is generally good (cant say for sure for everything but i've had a positive experience with their products)

[pliant berry]

they have some decent options. I am not familiar with this one in particular

[velvet summit]

they seem to lack a bit in bass apparently though

which might be less desirable for competitive gaming

[craggy shoal]

I didn't know Audio-Technica made budget options

[mortal grail]

Audio technica like deh trebleh

[mental yoke]

I have an optimizer for that

[velvet summit]

driver issue, not eq problem

[pliant berry]

honestly bass isn't really that desirable in gaming anyway. adds too much distraction

[velvet summit]

i mainly listen to music so i much prefer less bass

[velvet summit]

apparently it makes it easier to hear footsteps or something

[sinful blade]

Kinda not really a cause to boycott though.
They’d have to answer a few upset messages

[velvet summit]

not that i could tell since i suck at the aiming part of competitive shooters anyways LMFAO

[mortal grail]

Hear your footsteps more like

Stop trying to sneak up on me

[craggy shoal]

Nah footsteps are definitely more audible with bassier headphones (especially when you turn the EQ up)

[velvet summit]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-solid-rising-metal-gear-solid-gif-26937748

"hrrng colonel, i'm trying to sneak around..."

[tranquil pebble]

irc reference found in xbox discord

[mortal grail]

Can I have mod

[sinful blade]

Have can I mod

[velvet summit]

can i have money

[sinful blade]

Can I money have

[pliant berry]

footsteps are often not in the lower bass range. I think it's more like upper bass/lower mids

[mortal grail]

Dammit I didn't think of that

[mortal grail]

With bass boosting, everything can be bass range

[velvet summit]

bass boosted till walking sounds like phonk

[mortal grail]

Nothing like running through the gulag terrified as a 130db opponent walks towards you

[tranquil pebble]

bass boosted static

[velvet summit]

https://youtu.be/a239cwg_1EI

somebody really bass boosted this song

[pliant berry]

some random person online

[mortal grail]

I don't believe in human rights

[velvet summit]

real

[craggy shoal]

nah that's just what phonk sounds like

[velvet summit]

it's a bit more bassier than the originally very bassy song

[mortal grail]

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-believe-in-human-rights-the-russian-badger-phonk-gif-11436698022813774789

[velvet summit]

https://youtu.be/NWCNpCHeMf0 for comparison

[proud jackal]

[velvet summit]

idk how people enjoy most songs bass boosted

it sounds so terrible

[craggy shoal]

or sped up songs

[velvet summit]

some songs do benefit, but most dont

[pliant berry]

I generally don't like any modified versions of songs except remasters

[craggy shoal]

anything with the lyrics pitched up to sound squeaky <<<<<<

[velvet summit]

some sped up songs are fine, but people that exclusively listen to nightcore is wild

[velvet summit]

hold on i have a classic song

[nocturne flicker]

The angry messages from modders is what made Nexus give modders an option to delete their content before the rollout of the collection system

[rancid juniper]

https://youtu.be/nkLDh-UNqGI?si=dTGJ_7mRn1t-p3dH

phonk

[craggy shoal]

oh yes

I heard this image

[nocturne flicker]

The modders deleting their content on Nexus was the 'boycott'

[pliant berry]

spice and wolf has been pretty nice

[rancid juniper]

man i remember picking up season 1 so long ago, never finished it tho

[mortal grail]

Nightcore was the most insane discovery I had

[rancid juniper]

interesting premise tho

[mortal grail]

Like they sound great normal

[rancid juniper]

literally sped up + higher pitched music lmfao

[velvet summit]

daylight is fading away

[pliant berry]

the remake is live rn. ep 4 or 5 so far

[mortal grail]

Then there's just this whole genre

Of people who like

Fast pitch shifted versions

[rancid juniper]

cool

[mortal grail]

It's like listening to anxiety

[tranquil pebble]

what about covers and remixes?

[pliant berry]

I haven't watched the original but it's pretty well received so far

[mortal grail]

The original was ages ago now

[pliant berry]

covers sometimes I enjoy but never add to my library. remixes depends on the artist remixing it

[mortal grail]

Though the remake stayed completely faithful

[craggy shoal]

I'm not a big fan of the government

[nocturne flicker]

Also, a part of the controversy besides the collection system was that as part of that system, Nexus said they'd be archiving all mods in order to ensure authors could not remove their content from Nexus

[mortal grail]

I don't think he expected the ending there

[rancid juniper]

i legit didn't see the end, being dead serious

[rancid juniper]

It's a big drag racing event that's held in Texas once every year

I got my computer working again by replacing the motherboard

Because MSI is of no use

[lone mango]

Ones like the 720 look strange

[rancid juniper]

yea the design is a hit or miss

like, when i think of mclaren i think of this

[craggy shoal]

They really just made the P1 and said "yeah all cars from now one will look the same and we'll make an Ayrton Senna tribute car that looks sick as balls"

[rancid juniper]

😂 accurate

[rancid juniper]

senna just too dope

[craggy shoal]

eh he'll be back soon

Seems like something is up with that bot

setting forza as a baseline for racing games aint that great

bro got the Z1 extreme

nice

[tranquil pebble]

$599 isnt too bad for those specs

[rancid juniper]

perf per dollar is through the roof there

oh hey this was the guy that won the cover contest

[rancid juniper]

this

[tranquil pebble]

Way I see it is unless you're going with like a 4090, you're probably better off with a Radeon.

[wary fjord]

must be nice but i still want 4070 super xD

i want to play with nvidia ai stuff xD

[rancid juniper]

gotta have RTX on

or do that yes

[wary fjord]

ooo rdna4 has new ray tracing but its rumored

hmmm

is it rtx level now

[tranquil pebble]

I might play with some AVX stuff on ROG Ally

[wary fjord]

aslong its not 512

avx 512 is taxing

xD

[tranquil pebble]

AVX 512 is supported on the Ally AFAIK

[wary fjord]

yeah that thing is taxing waste of power.. but cute gain

like games dont even bother using it

emulator does

[tranquil pebble]

Also, hopefully it can handle raytracing in Persona 3 Reload... its very lightweight raytracing so I have hope.

[wary fjord]

like rcps3 loves avx 512

[tranquil pebble]

That's what I want 512 for

[wary fjord]

it makes the graphics more accurate

brrr

[tranquil pebble]

found this neat little tool... It can at times fix otherwise completely broken apps and games.

[rancid juniper]

RPCS3 on the ally

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[tranquil pebble]

ikr

Portable Gran Turismo machine

and ofc Persona 3,4,5, but those can run natively

[rancid juniper]

P3 Reload on ally

[sinful blade]

They reported big losses in sales, unsurprised

[rancid juniper]

yea their gaming sector aint that great

even when there are discount sales and literally next gen consoles its not enough

[tranquil pebble]

yep with raytracing

[sinful blade]

They need to divert a lot of resources into their gaming sector

[rancid juniper]

hopefully when they cook RDNA4 it will shake up the market

[rancid juniper]

honestly nah, they are doing exceptionally well with database

and they'll stick to that

[tranquil pebble]

I want to see Nvidia get what Intel got when Zen came about

[rancid juniper]

doesn't mean they will quit RADEON/RYZEN

[rancid juniper]

omg this

just slap nvidia relentlessly

[sinful blade]

Rekt

[rancid juniper]

and then you will have cringe defenders saying, "but amd drivers bad"

DDU:

[tranquil pebble]

lol DDU has NEVER been necessary for me. Literally, ever.

AMD's own installer has done the job well enough

[rancid juniper]

i only use DDU if i switch gpus

afterwards i just let amd installer do its thing

no issues

[tranquil pebble]

thanks for the tip, I got it

[wary fjord]

find the app for it

theres app on it

version 0.94

[tranquil pebble]

even when I've done that I didnt need it.

[wary fjord]

goodluck finding it

[rancid juniper]

neat

[tranquil pebble]

heck I had a Quadro and a Radeon in the same system once

[wary fjord]

thats fine only one do display

one is standby

[rancid juniper]

@idle nexus extra juicy resident evil rumors

7 YEAR DEV TIME???

[tranquil pebble]

or you can do one display on each to offload some gpu tasks

[wary fjord]

yeah thats fine

multi gpu is ment to be

xD

otheres even do intel amd and nvidia

aslong their drivers wont collide

[tranquil pebble]

Radeons also have a dedicated compute mode and I imagine Nvidia does too

[rancid juniper]

2025 about to be stacked

[wary fjord]

but gta 6 is still winning most of the awards unfortunately

[wary fjord]

red dead is nice

gta is nice

[tranquil pebble]

Red Dead has less input lag on PC. Same for GTA

[wary fjord]

also no one can beat how gta drive physics works xD than other open world games

[rancid juniper]

yea GTA online ruined GTA 5, they had planned dlcs and everything but saw online as a good cash cow

[wary fjord]

that looks stiff

[rancid juniper]

thats because GTA 5 uses all wheel drive

i assure you if it was RWD or FWD most players would have a hard time

[wary fjord]

not all some of it do

[rancid juniper]

LMFAO

[wary fjord]

they have 3 system

[rancid juniper]

o?

[wary fjord]

fwd rwd awd

[rancid juniper]

hmmm okk

[wary fjord]

rwd one is good for controled drifting

awd good for speedy drifting xD

[wary fjord]

they seem pationate enough

They’re a LOT more affordable

[wary fjord]

when they present how they achive their gpu state

like how they do ray tracing

and why is it different from nvidia

i like the transparency and research paper

is out to public to read

im building my first pc

[mental yoke]

Interesting.

[verbal ridge]

i have all my parts but my motherboard comes in a few

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zgYZmD

ive been on laptop 60hz for a while now

[elfin mural]

Overall decent parts choice

But oof, the fans

$100 in fans is crazy

[verbal ridge]

😭😭😭

I can return them

[elfin mural]

That'd be nice tbh

[verbal ridge]

But what would I do with the money?

Just keep it?

[elfin mural]

Yep

For whatever else you might want or need

[verbal ridge]

But the only one I can return is the 3 pack one

[elfin mural]

I can recc you some fans

[verbal ridge]

The 100 dollar one

[verbal ridge]

Alr send

[elfin mural]

That's still some savings

[verbal ridge]

Yea fs

But isn’t it like a thing with rgb and all the corsairs work together or smth

[lone mango]

Wait so thats 30 for each fan?

Thats crazy

[verbal ridge]

Yep

Cad

[elfin mural]

Yeah but it doesn't matter too much

[verbal ridge]

Btw

[elfin mural]

ique is sucky

[lone mango]

True

Its slow

[verbal ridge]

Idk what that is

Also is my motherboard alr?

[elfin mural]

corsair's rgb software

your board is good

[verbal ridge]

Alright

[lone mango]

Like razer synapse but corsair instead

[verbal ridge]

Ohh

Ok so basically

My case has 3 fans already

And I have 1 fan I can’t return

[lone mango]

You good then

4 fans is fine

[verbal ridge]

I shouldn’t use the 100 for anything?

[elfin mural]

Honestly don't buy any more fans then lel

Use 4

[lone mango]

Fr

[elfin mural]

Return the 3 pack

You can use the 100 for your personal stuff

There's a point where spending more gives you nothing of value

Diminishing returns

[verbal ridge]

Valid

[lone mango]

Only thing I have to say is you have a matx board in a case that is atx. It doesn’t matter at all, just if it was me, i would get an atx board to fill in that space. But yeah pocket that hundo

[verbal ridge]

I might buy a better monitor

I mean I have a 240 hz one I got for 290 that I can return

[chrome mirage]

I'm going to find out if the cassette player in my stereo works by using a rare cassette. Only 3000 of these cassettes were made.

[verbal ridge]

Which other board is a good option msi b650 gaming plus?

[elfin mural]

Up to ya on how to spend really, I'm giving ya guidance

MSI is also fine

On AM5 there's really basically no terrible boards

Unless you intentionally cheap out

[lone mango]

Yeah there was a hub video slandering some cheap msi boards even though msi sponsored the video

Bro was going in fr

[verbal ridge]

Lmao

[verbal ridge]

Basically I returned like 1 thing

And if I return the fans

And my current monitor

I’ll have $485 back in my credit card

To spend on a monitor or wtv

[elfin mural]

Which monitor is the one you got btw

1440p?

[lone mango]

This seems to be pretty good
https://a.co/d/iGdxXem
Again, it doesn’t matter. But, this is on sale and its the same price, so might as well look into it at least

[elfin mural]

Gotta remember they're in canada

[verbal ridge]

1080p 240hz

i mostly play fortnite comp

[elfin mural]

Hrm

You definitely can use 1440p

1080p on 4080s is a waste ngl

That thing can run 1440p easily

Or 4k

But fortnite, well 1440p would be better

[verbal ridge]

yea def

but for fn its 1080p

u loose some performance with 1440 right

[elfin mural]

Some, yes

But the gpu you have has the horsepower to push the extra pixels

More clarity for finer details in the distance too

[verbal ridge]

yea i get what u mean

fortnite gets more demanding every season

[elfin mural]

Should still be ok

If you're on competitive settings

[verbal ridge]

u think my motherboard will be fine?

idk how to do these stuff

[elfin mural]

Ya

[verbal ridge]

do i like test it first

after i put my ram ssd and cpu

[craggy shoal]

I can't stand membrane keyboards bruh

How is this that I can press a key and sometimes it doesn't actuate
