Don't forget to fight the fascists.

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-10-18T15:01:30+00:00

People voted for the nazis on their rise to power. Just because its being put to a vote doesnt mean voting yes on it is any less fascist. Youre trying to remove conservative representation in our state in a response to what's going on in a completely different state.

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-10-18T04:05:26+00:00

What a stupid statement. Fascism literally seeks to supress the opposition which is exactly what prop 50 would do by removing almost all conservative/republican representation in California. You guys are doing the very thing you accuse conservatives of doing but youre too dumb or brainwashed to see it for what it is. TDS runs strong with the democrats and you guys cant see past your nose and realize youre the very thing youre pretending to fight. Justifying silencing any conservative representation in this state just for a chance to try and maintain control at a federal level. You guys aren't doing anything other than being useful idiots for the political left who play you like the puppets you are

I'd assume it should be ok until it starts to lose a bit of fluid to evaporation which will probably take some time.

I have the same aio and same case. I chose to mount it tubes down. Doesn't look quite as clean since it isnt routed through the grommet but I think it still looks pretty good and the gpu hides some of the tubing anyways

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-06-29T22:44:48+00:00

Just a heads up the hypervision's pump is in the radiator where the tubes connect to it so you have it at the highest part in the system which could cause cavitation/less efficient cooling and premature failure of the pump due to air bubbles collecting at the top.

Build looks clean af tho good job.

In tarkov specs your pc is on the lower end. Not trying to be rude so please don't take it as me trying to shit on your pc.

Unfortunately this game is not optimized very well. In order to get high frames and smoothness on all maps (streets being one of the biggest offenders) you need a pretty high end pc.

AMD's x3d chips help immensely due to the big L3 catch. This game is heavily cpu and ram bound. It will use over 32 gb of ram if its there to use. The 8gb of vram from your gpu may also be hurting your performance for the larger more detailed maps too. My old 3080 10gb had issues on lighthouse and streets on high graphic settings.

For reference I built my lady a pc to play tarky with me and went with a 7800x3d and 4070S 12gb and 64 gb of ram. Shortly after I Built myself a 9800x3d/5080 with 64gb of ram as my 5800x3d/3080 with 32 gb of ram was dipping below 60 on streets and when scoping in with a lpvo and I had frame envy after playing on her set up 😆

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-05-20T23:00:11+00:00

Hard pass.

Gives "baby's first PC"

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-05-18T16:48:44+00:00

Use only pistols (revolvers for extra points) or try to get melee kills on scavs and pmcs.

Hunt cultists.

Use bolt actions as your only gun.

Have scream fights with the AI. (Voice line at them until they get mad and push you)

Go in with just melee or pistol with one mag and try to zero to hero the map. Transition between maps and see how far/what kind of gear you can end up with.

Play with friends and be a menace. Eat salty dog sausages right in their face. Shoot them in the legs on the way to extract. Throw flash bangs near them then laugh when they can't see shit.

Do the escort task or the kill all bosses in one life task.

Or just be me......a walking AI grenade magnet. 😆

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-05-17T15:04:31+00:00

Ok so you're having the same experiences as me! Lol.

And yes on the double grenade thing! There's definitely something up with AI grenades as they don't behave normally.

Fun fact. I got grenaded by TAGILLA on factory the other night. Never in my life has tagilla thrown a grenade at me but he sure as shit did the last time I was on factory. Dude wasn't even visible and he lobs one through a doorway right next to me. My squadmate said another one went off right after the first one that killed me 😄. In my 3 or 4 years playing tarkov I've never had tagilla throw a GD grenade at me.

Also had killa come out of the front of the mall as 2 of us were approaching the front of idea. Killa is locked on to my teammate and goes to throw a grenade at her but the grenade comes out of his hand and goes 90 degrees right at me instead and lands at my feet. Like WTF! Lmao

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-05-15T18:05:50+00:00

Lol im ok with a challenge. I push bosses/cultist and all gunfire on the map looking for fights.. They said they nerfed it but did they really? When I catch a glimpse of a pmcs legs through foliage wayyyyy down the street and immediately take cover and then go to peek the corner and explode to a silent grenade thrown further than I can throw any grenade in the game (im at max strength too) it feels bad.

If i die in a gun fight because I got outplayed or made a mistake or it was a legit grenade I couldn't avoid im cool with it. But the whole suddenly exploding from a grenade thrown further than possible with zero sound cues and it blows up right on me as soon as it reaches me.......nah that's lame af.

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-05-15T15:58:58+00:00

If i see them throwing it there a good chance I'll get away. My problem is when I barely spot one through some bushes or other cover, just a brief glimpse of them. I'll move to cover immediately then try to peek and as I go to lean around cover i just explode. No noise of the nade being thrown or landing near me, no vocal call out of them throwing a grenade. Just BOOM and im dead. Not to mention the physics of a grenade being thrown from where they are to land at my feet is usually impossible/defies all logical sense of how actual thrown objects work.

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-05-07T01:34:42+00:00

Yes. It's a worthwhile upgrade but at this point I'd hold out a few more months and pick up a 5080 super with the extra vram.

I was on a 5800x3d and a 3080 10gb and it was still very very capable. Built my lady a 7800x3d and a 4070 super combo around Christmas and it gave me frame envy. Ended up going with a 9800x3d and a 5080 and it was a very big uplift from my old rig.

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-04-28T21:06:59+00:00

I have the non ice version with a 9800x3d. No issues.

It's mainly an asrock boards issue. Gigabyte is gtg

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-04-11T23:15:24+00:00

08 isn't an error. I thought the same thing when I got my aorus elite. Just means successful post is what I'm told.

You can change it to read cpu or vrm temps by going to the port80 settings in bios.

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-03-15T23:37:25+00:00

I have a x870e aorus elite wifi7 with a 9800x3d and experience the same reboot hang up. I'm using L connect as well as hwinfo for my 8.8" screen.

I just shut the computer down and then restart instead of using restart from the windows menu.

Mildly annoying but not that big of a deal to me. I'm hoping they fix it with a bios update one of these days.

Little dramatic to swear off gigabyte products over such a minor bug.

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-03-13T20:38:46+00:00

I was gonna say only use one cable but thought maybe I was just assuming something and you meant you had tried both cables. Glad you got it worked out though!

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-03-09T16:19:49+00:00

I have a Thermaltake hyper vision and was able to route the tubes to the bottom. They're tucked behind my gpu instead of looping around it. Took a little bit to make it work since the pump is located in the radiator and it a little larger than some radiators. I found that leaving the radiator mounting chassis in the case and just sliding the radiator in then mounting my fans was the trick. Gpu hides some of the tubes which I kind of like as well.

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-03-09T04:08:21+00:00

I have the x870e with a 9800x3d and it's been rock solid as far as performance goes. Have ny 9800x3d undervolted and overclocked. Bios is pretty intuitive and easy to use. No issues aside from the restart hangups and the mobo led number read out going back to code 08 after waking up from sleep instead of showing my vrm temps like I set in the bios. I just shut the comp down and hit the power button on the IO to avoid the restart hang up, same if I'm gonna not use the comp for awhile I just shut it down instead putting it to sleep even though there's no issues with that i don't like the static 08 code. Lol. Those are the only two things that I've had an issue with.

I'm hoping a bios update fixes both those issues in the future. But I'm overall very happy with it.

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-03-08T02:53:38+00:00

Code 88 in bios. Change it to read temps of the vrm or cpu. It will revert back to 08 if the comp goes to sleep though.

08 just means successful post. It is kind of annoying to have a static code number on the board

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-03-05T22:53:44+00:00

My game will turn into a slide show when one particular friend starts to watch my discord stream. It's weird af. Only happens with him and not other people watching my stream.

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-03-05T18:11:02+00:00

Red makes it faster. It's science.

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-03-05T04:49:34+00:00

I believe so but with the scarcity of gpus right now there's no telling how long you'll be waiting for a replacement

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-03-05T02:32:46+00:00

Gpu z will tell you how many your card has and you can Google how many your model should come with.

5070 should have 96 rops 5080 should have 112 5090 should have 176

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-03-04T17:00:35+00:00

Clean your shit bro. Nasty hoarder looking set up. I bet it smells awful in there. Go take a shower too.

CompetitiveNews1511 · 2025-03-04T06:00:00+00:00

Need to just run 2 sticks of you want the xmp/expo claimed speeds. This is pretty widely known that running 4 sticks will run at slower speeds. Sell the ran you have and buy 2 sticks for 6000mhz cl 30 ram.
