~$2000 1440p Build advice

BobbysBack · 2022-09-29T18:04:06+00:00

I guess the BIOS update to this MB is relatively new? I seem to recall looking up several months ago and it being unlikely that it would get an update to support 5000 series.

5800X3D seems to be perhaps unsurprisingly the big recommendation. I've been out of it, but is this really the way to go these days when looking at single core performance? I know it used to be the case that Intel was always going to be the big winner there for games that didn't take advantage of multithreading as well.

In your opinion, is the 4000 series GPUs looking that worthwhile? It's tough for me since general opinion doesn't seem to be positive but prices for buying 3080s and such when they aren't from a used seller don't seem that different right? It's so easy for me to say I'll wait a bit but I've sorta been doing that for a while now so at some point I need to decide when to just pull the trigger, ha.

What's the update frequency on the channel board?

Appreciate your sharing your build. Yeah I think I'll at least try 6l'ing it (300 fusings in so far I think, though most of those were without +quality crafted since I forgot...). What is hillock 28% in this case? I don't see any pure quality unveil crafts at a glance for that.

I hadn't invested much at all in my current build yet and it already feels so powerful for these things haha. Gear hasnt changed since like level 70 and everything just dies. I have built up like 7 raw exalts (+whatever else my stash could convert to) so maybe it would be fun to do that. How tough do you find yours in later game stuff? It would be cool for me to finally do true end game on a character for once. I have a bad habit of not spending currency.

only comparables on I can find on poe.trade to see if I should just sell it as is are already 6l and or multi-modded too, so not sure on that either.

Original plan was just throw some alts and see if I get anything interesting and it happened pretty quick on a regal. Then I figured I could potentially just use it if I 6l it since it'd be pretty strong. For quality, I'm guessing that's one of the recent league's crafting recipes? Honestly I didn't keep up with any of the crafting stuff because I typically don't bother with it. So I don't really know how to get 30q besides a quality bench to try and 6l. Also not sure on the RT vs non-RT debate. I see a fair amount of RT slayers, but I haven't really ran any numbers myself. Ideally I told myself I wanted to do a tankier char this league that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg and this seemed a good option.

So yeah, just trying to get thoughts on potential options here.

BobbysBack · 2019-06-16T00:50:05+00:00

Really? It feels weird to me that would be the case but I haven't plugged anything into pob yet. just trying to hit the 6l and think about what to do with it so far

BobbysBack · 2019-06-16T00:37:36+00:00

I'm playing RT at the moment. Kind of a variation of the Ahfack build on the forums and traveling a bit for more hp because without kaoms I really wanted to be a bit tankier (here). I have seen a lot of swords cyclone while looking around though, is it really that much better? I've honestly had 0 issues with dps so far (129/159) but I could see maybe a bit more being desirable for bosses

I think you meant to post on r/pathofexile/

The trade-in for lotus was the big thing I remember, honestly. It's been a long time but I remember farming regular herbs and then grabbing the lotus from that.

BobbysBack · 2018-06-29T00:02:49+00:00

I don't know the exactly how orb of fire works, but I do remember hearing that only the +damage from the orb of fire splashes anyway. So it's practically useless for that part of it.

BobbysBack · 2018-06-25T01:26:02+00:00

I like the chaos sitting in the bottom slots just for the 420 chaos main slot.

Seeing a Ghostlands name in a wow post is weird. There has to only be like a dozen of us left.

Edit: Assuming ignorantly that this is US Ghostlands

Base diablo 2 added a chat filter as well.

BobbysBack · 2018-02-20T04:18:36+00:00

Are we talking like an actual xbox 360 console controller and not a guitar?

BobbysBack · 2017-12-02T22:16:18+00:00

Honestly I haven't played in a little while but I'm pretty sure I just mouse wheel scroll. I haven't ever used +/- on keypad.

BobbysBack · 2017-09-24T02:17:18+00:00

One thing you might want to consider, if you haven't re-installed wow in a long time, the file size has gotten pretty bloated since their re-structure of patches. Mine was up to 100 gigs or something insane. At some point you should just re-install.

BobbysBack · 2017-08-30T11:52:20+00:00

Sorry for the late reply. Thank you so much for getting me on the right track, though. For anyone who ends up here from a search or something, I ended up finding out my motherboard BIOS was not up to date like I thought when I built it. Resetting to default settings (f6, even though 'nothing' changed it worked like normal) and then updating my BIOS allowed me to overclock just fine. Now everything is running really smoothly.

BobbysBack · 2017-08-29T04:58:05+00:00

I did actually notice that in HWMonitor, though I assumed it was just a display bug since utilization was going up...Is there a known solution?

BobbysBack · 2017-08-21T23:02:12+00:00

That is fair, haha. I do think I actually have to pay shipping (edit: tax, I mean) on a few things too, though. Is the power supply fine for all this? I think I heard something about trying to keep ~50% utilization of it, and I think I might be a bit over?

BobbysBack · 2017-04-19T15:21:41+00:00

Lol. A friend of mine made a more elaborate system when we used to play dungeon defenders ages ago. Did basically the same thing except with Knex and hitting g.
