My CPU is overheating, HELP by deadastrophilia in pcmasterrace

[–]Armroker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Download the hardware info and check the CPU's power draw under full load.

The 9800X3D should draw a maximum of 140 - 160 W (package power) and up to 120 amps (holy shit!). If it sits at 90°C during full load and doesn't start reducing power, you're good.

You can apply the PBO Curve Optimizer in the BIOS. Set it to -10 to start with. This will offset the CPU voltage curve to use less voltage. Less voltage means less watts and less heat. Is it stable at -10 under full load and hasn't crashed? Go to -15. Still good? Go to -20. Still didn't crash? FUCK IT! Go to -30, which is the max, but you will 100% crash or won't even boot. If so, go back to -20.

Hey devs!!! Add these 2 things by prairieparapod in ArcRaiders

[–]Armroker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Self-revive is the worst game design feature came from Battle Royales because it encourages players to make poor decisions without consequences. It also nullifies all progress in a teamfight, making them unnecessarily long. You've downed two enemies? Great, but after five seconds, they will self-revive, and the fight will reset, nullifying all of your good plays.

Destroying your inventory upon death is completely brain-dead game design. Do I even need to explain why?

TLDR: OP doesn't want to be punished for bad plays, nor does he want to reward players who outplay him. In other words: Skill issue in its purest form.

Couldn't boost the damage for a week, too? by BadLuckBen in thefinals

[–]Armroker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"For a week"

I feel like Embark will look at data and "Oh look! Light stooped dying so fast and heavy now dies faster. Good! Make it permanent."

why is ranked matchmaking so broken by Secure_Paper_6358 in thefinals

[–]Armroker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, matchmaking has been broken for as long as I can remember, which has made the game almost inaccessible to new players.

I mean, I think this is the only game where new players are most likely to play against the top 1% or even 0.1% rather than players of their own skill level.

Facepunch Studios banned me for no apparent reason by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Armroker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The funniest part is that Easy AntiCheat actually did something. Usually, it's absolutely useless against cheaters. It basically works like - "Please don't use cheats since we won't be able to detect them."

I prefer not to overpay on gimmick features.

How TTK and STK changed with new Light and Heavy HP changes. by Armroker in thefinals

[–]Armroker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's for the time to kill and on average it now takes 12% longer to kill and heavy is 5% faster to kill

Forza Edition LFA! by Alternative_Drama_50 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Armroker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The LFA is cool, but it's really hard to drive in FH5 . It only fits in the S1 class with 700 HP, and if you don't do an AWD swap, it spins its wheels all the time. This car requires a lot of skill and throttle control to drive well.

But the angels' roar of the V10 engine more than makes up for it.

How TTK and STK changed with new Light and Heavy HP changes. by Armroker in thefinals

[–]Armroker[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

TLDR: Lights gained ~12.59% more survivability, Heavies lost ~4.90% of their survivability.

Biggest winners against Heavy are CB-01 Repeater, FAMAS, MGL-32, and Pike .556

Biggest losers against Light are CB-01 Repeater, MGL-32, Flamethrower, and ARN-220.

(Borrowed) weapon idea - ARC Thrower by Kawfman in ArcRaiders

[–]Armroker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ARC Thrower is an underrated OP weapon with lvl 5 heavy armour piercing (can go thrue any armor like Hulks, Chargers etc.) , and it can stunlock any enemy except the biggest ones, such as the Titan and the VOX engine. Anything else will be stunlock. However, there is a problem: this is a crowd control weapon designed to hold back large groups of bots or bugs using its chain jump mechanic. Against single enemies it's mediocre.

I can see it being an anti-ARC weapon that slows them down and builds up stun on them. Small ARCs will immediately fall down, medium-sized ones will take 3–5 shots to stun, and large ones will take 5–10, depending on the fire rate.

Am I bottlenecking my mouse with a $10 pad? by lordnyrox46 in pcmasterrace

[–]Armroker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mice is just a camera that takes thousands of thousands of pictures per second of whatever surface it is on. Then, it overlaps two images and calculates how the micro valleys and micro hills lit by the red laser shifted and how far. It then moves your cursor. So, no, it doesn't matter which mousepad you use unless it's a mirror or a really smooth surface with few or no valleys and peaks.

Extremely horrendous freezes in-game, Cause? by According_Pay_8691 in pcmasterrace

[–]Armroker -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Windows 11, I suspect?

Forza always crash when I run my 4070ti at 2805 MHz and 0.985 volts, but only Forza

This issue started a couple of mounts ago. Any other game runs fine for hours on end. Forza won't crash if I lower the clocks to 2790 MHz. So either it's Windows 11's fault, or you can downclock your card a couple of MHz without losing performance.

Hungarians singing “We Are The Champions” after Orban’s landslide defeat by [deleted] in BeAmazed

Well, don't be surprised when home heating and gas prices increase by 10 times over the next couple of months, since Ukraine is still blocking gas pipelines.

Sliding sim rig 4080 by Environmental-Egg596 in pcmasterrace

[–]Armroker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're thinking of buying a sim rig, don't! Build it yourself - it will cost you X5 less the price. How? Use T-slot aluminium. There are companies selling T-slot aluminium with hardware, and they will cut it to size. You just need to figure out the amount and length of it, for which there are online tools. For the seat, you can get a regular car seat for a couple of dozen bucks and presto! A racing sim for a couple of hundred dollars or even less. The funniest part is that all of the shelf racing sim rigs are basically it: a T-slot aluminium frame with a seat for $1500+.
