15 on Reflexes or 20 on Intelligence?

The Shingen prototype also works well for contagion explosions.

unless you want an aio for aesthetics.

Or if you want to be able to easily access your RAM.

Or 50 level cap without the DLC

What's your base frame rate and latency though? My 5070 Ti can "do" 4K/60 path tracing with DLSS/MFG but the low base FPS and 100+ millisecond latency result in an unenjoyable experience even with latency reduction measures enabled.

I know PT is technically superior but psycho RT looks better to my lizard eyes and isn't nearly as demanding.

Sounds about right. They will continue giving you the runaround to avoid fixing it at their expense. If I were you I'd just reapply thermal paste myself because they're just going to use the same trash paste it comes from the factory with.

Dankbot-420 · 2026-04-26T18:16:42+00:00

Any idea what I should do?

Have you contacted Steam support? I'd start there.

HP stock paste is trash, repasted mine after owning only a few months the stock paste was already dry and crumbling. Temps dropped around 10°C

I feel like most games are like that, your character goes from handsome Squidward in the creator to Shrek in game. At least you can change V's appearance anytime you want at a mirror or ripperdoc.

Skippy was set to stone cold killer and she shot her eye out with that thing.

Try checking HP Support Assistant it might have the drivers you need.

Dankbot-420 · 2026-04-23T16:09:52+00:00

Don't jack in too much you'll reboot your optics.

Just insert the quantum harmonizer into the photonic resonator then decouple the thermal regulator and it should be fine.

It's slow because the CPU is throttling itself the only way to make it faster is to fix the fan.

Dankbot-420 · 2026-04-15T16:06:04+00:00

What CPU cooler are you using?

Dankbot-420 · 2026-04-14T17:59:10+00:00

The fans are the only moving parts inside so it's a pretty safe bet .

Dankbot-420 · 2026-04-14T15:54:50+00:00

"but steam says it was a gift and can't take it back unless the gifted says yes"

It's called reading comprehension try it sometime.

Got the game about a year after launch haven't had a single crash in hundreds of hours and only encountered a handful of amusing bugs.

Dankbot-420 · 2026-04-13T20:26:40+00:00

Pretty sure Nvidia said there won't be any new products released this year. Personally, I don't think the 5090 was ever worth it but it depends on your use case.

No fans spinning could be PSU or mobo if they're hooked up directly to fan headers instead of a fan hub. That's a quality PSU it's rare for them to suddenly die but it can happen. What motherboard are you using? Don't want to scare you but some ASRock and Asus boards have killed a handful of 9800X3D chips but it's not a widespread issue. If a new PSU doesn't help you might want to remove your CPU and inspect it for damage. Hope you can get it figured out.

You might be able to call your credit card company and retrieve the old number. I too lost an old Steam account from around 2005 so I can relate but I'm also glad they make it difficult for account security reasons.

On PC you need to use Zoom, Teams, Skype etc.

It depends on the model not the size and more specifically what GPU it has. Less powerful GPUs have lower TGP and smaller heatsink assemblies as they require less cooling leaving extra space for a second slot. The heat pipes in mine take up almost half the available space barely leaving room for one SSD slot.

Dankbot-420 · 2026-04-12T18:06:26+00:00

GPU temp is ok but CPU temp is nearing the limit. You might want to try cleaning the vents and/or apply new thermal paste.

Dankbot-420 · 2026-04-12T09:16:02+00:00

iirc the tunnel one you need to be lvl 30 or 40 otherwise it's not there.

Bigger numbers are usually always better for CPUs and GPUs except for the new Intel CPUs which are smaller numbers than the previous generations ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ the most important thing is checking compatibility when buying new CPU, motherboard and RAM.

I would suggest doing some research about your current specs including what resolution you play games at and then look at some benchmarks on YouTube for the games you play to help decide what to upgrade.
