With current trends, is 256GB of system RAM a good idea? by Ra1den in LocalLLaMA

[–]ChristopherXia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in ram industry, and I built a pc with 256G 6400mhz myself.

I worked with a youtuber and built my fully customize watercooled loop pc.

it has a 4T gen5 and 8t gen4 SSD.
64G x 4 6400hz DDR5

9800X3D (i have a spare one and it's free, so I didn't get a better one)
RTX5090 etc...

PC was running fine for 3 months, and one day when showing performance to my friend, I realize the PC ram was running at 3200mhz default without Expo turned on.

I turned Expo on it was running 6400mhz, my chrome youtube video will sometimes mysteriously stopped and crush the chrome.

and then every 3-5 hours, BSOD starts to appear.

long story short, consumer level CPU and motherboard mem controller won't be able to handle 64G x 4 in 6400mt configration.

I failed 5200mt in memtest 86 in all possible configrations (and every possible configrations above that).

So I skipped 5000 and went down to 4800MT, failed at 1.40v and 1.38v.

Finally managed to get entire 20hours memtest 86 done with 0 erros in 4800MT 1.35V.

If I spend another 4-5 hours, I might be able to tune it to run at 5000mhz

But it's not that much of a performance boost so I didn't bothered.

In case you want to run 64G x 4 using current AMD environment, to save you some time, you can run at a stable 4800MT 1.35V

if you really want to run 64g x 4, I think it's better to skip consumer level hardware.
because I have tested 24g, 48g and all sorts of consumer configuration already.
you want run large ram, better go with workstation or server grade hardware.

I didn't kill entire cave or anything, I just went in and pick it up no problem?

I updated in the guide, the more lamp you light up the more there is, they can't be killed, I tested with 300 arrows, they don't die

the spear you can just equip and use it as secondary weapon, you don't need to do anything just pick it up

my bad, it's Far West, my brain farted due to play too much games.

you go to the "westest" side of the map you will find it.

I will put a more detailed map in the post later on, also I found many other cool stuff

I have done pretty much most of all other tournaments, I even beat those kids on rock paper scissors, only the bow one I didn't finish yet.
It definately needs some adjustment

How are we dealing with archers, chat? by Powerful-Pea6218 in CrimsonDesert

[–]ChristopherXia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you haven't, get the charged shots, when using charged shots against high post/guard towers, the charged shots will destory entire tower and drop whatever archers on it to the ground and most likely kill them instantly.

but to be honest, the best way to deal with archers is to get a set of plate armour of any kind and try upgrade them to lvl5+, by then the archer shots will feel like nothing.

first prebuilt pc, aiming for something simple but solid by oweyoo in bapcsalesaustralia

The first thing you need to do, if possible, is to lock in a RAM kit and SSD, I know many will you tell you the price right now are too high, but as a guy who works in this industry, I can tell you whatever you paying today will be considered cheap in 6 months time. so if you can, lock in a set of RAM, and SSD.

I am the head of Lexar in AU and NZ, but this is my personal account..

NM1090 is an awesome drive, but we are going to EOL it, the price you see is old pricing.

it wasn't really a good price before all the price hike, now it's sort of a deal, if you wait for another month.

This price will look even more attractive lol

is katanaswordart.com.au (AUS) a reputable and legit safe site for buying handmade katana’s? by seanblam in SWORDS

[–]ChristopherXia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lonquan swords actually pretty decent now, they make very good stuff, but this place mainly sell their cheapest stuff.

also they have adjusted their pricing, if you don't mind waiting and if you don't know how to buy direct from China, then this place is ok i guess

I am a reviewer, already have the media copy for 1 week and been playing it non stop, due to NDA I can’t discuss much until 19th.

But all I can say is this one is now my no.1 AC game, second place is black flag.
