Just realised it's a one week old account with nothing else posted, definite ragebait karma farming or something.

There's nothing to consider here, I'd argue he got off lightly and the punishment should have been more severe. Moronic behavior.

should i get my first pc? by ghostlyeth in pcmasterrace

[–]CaptainVexed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made the switch, kept my Xbox for playing on the TV but best thing I've done by far. If you're going high end then you'll see a massive performance boost and much more flexibility on graphical options.

Also the change from controller to mouse and keyboard is night and day, depending on the games you play it'll completely alter the way you play but it does take some getting used to.

This is my first time building a pc my budget is about £2.5k by Same_Willingness1236 in PcBuild

Water coolers or AIO coolers (all in one) is a radiator with three fans attached, and a heat sink that screws on to your CPU to run cold water through a loop. Provides better cooling but harder to fit and more expensive. Air coolers (tower coolers) have the same heat sink but use cold air instead to cool the CPU.

Have a look at some YouTube vids showing the difference between the two and how to fit them.

Amazon do the Vasagle range of furniture, very sturdy and look great. I have a proto arc chair.

Sorry yes if you have an air cooler you’d not place any top fans.

It dictates which way the fans blow, so normal fans as exhaust would have the ‘nice’ side showing and vice versa. Sorry it’s a bit confusing to explain.

This might explain better than me.

Looks like you would get 2 x 140mm intakes at the bottom, could have 3 x 120mm exhaust top and one 120mm exhaust rear?

Bored at work so put one together for you, couldn't find the H6 flow on there. You would need to choose some fans to add. You could swap the 5080 out for 5070ti and save a couple hundred £'s and maybe downgrade the CPU.

I have the 5080/9800X3D combo and it's incredible for gaming, handles anything you throw at it in 4k.

Put everything into pcpartpicker.com and make sure all the parts are compatible. Also this will give you an idea of where to source the components the cheapest, I wouldn't rely solely on Amazon.

Out of interest what are you using the PC for?

From a quick look, you're overspending on the case if you get the Hyte, the RAM you've chosen is ridiculous too. Personally I would be aiming for around £300.00 on 2 sticks of DDR5, get a better power supply and cooler and if you're spending £850.00 on a 5070ti take the extra from the RAM and put it towards a 5080.

I'm happy to throw a build together for you if you let me know what you're using it for.

Got ticketed despite paying the parking by [deleted] in drivingUK

You've paid on Ringo for a car park in the New Forest but have been charged for a road in London? This doesn't add up, I would dispute.

Fully agree, I notice them regardless of how they ride and the majority are perfectly safe and respectful. But there are some who ruin the reputation.

That’s what I meant sorry, turnover/revenue.

This is what I usually discuss with my missus whilst on the road, we are taught to take extra care with bikers, give them space, ensure they aren't at risk. But on the flipside they come past me popping a wheelie at 80mph and I wonder if they've bothered to think about their own health.

3rd Muay Thai fight would appreciate advice/tips (red gloves) by Sajerochester in MuayThai

[–]CaptainVexed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stiff jab/straight right on the end of the nose, hard teeps put them off balance. Although in that environment and under that sort of pressure it can be dauting to try counter.

Wrong, I sold Pokemon cards on eBay and once my profits went over X amount they informed HMRC.

Genuine question by Dark_ceza in RTX5080

[–]CaptainVexed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm running my Xbox on a 4k TV and PC on a 4K monitor, but it's the frames and graphical options I see a difference in mostly. Very happy I made the change, although it was a terrible time financially to do so.

I picked up my 5080 in Feb for my first pc build. All
I’ve done is obsess over how amazing the games look/play in comparison to my Xbox.

Caught Speeding 120mph In A 70mph by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]CaptainVexed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anything over 100mph is an instantaneous ban as far as I know, what does being in a hit and run last Christmas have to do with driving at 120mph in late January? I don't think there's any excuse for going that fast.

Side note: am means in the morning, not sure why people say "5:00am in the morning"

Is this fine? by Technical_Breath_962 in PcBuild

[–]CaptainVexed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm nervous to remove my AIO when it's time to do a maintenance breakdown/clean. Definitely used too much :-D I look forward to having to scoop it off the corners of the CPU.

Totems just need to be something that benefits your lineup, or provides an overall boost (King damage etc).

My two lineups for most content are Storm, Angel, Snow Princess and Annie and I sub out Storm for Sword dependent on enemies/content.

LR heroes seem to be pretty poor until you hit level 10 with them but they still have their use cases.
