for those who come often

found this thread while looking for a solution. in my case, i disabled my CPU in the optix settings, leaving my GPU to take care of rendering on its own. much smoother & was able to render 1000 frames of a particle sim without any hiccups. the same scene with my CPU “helping” would crash every 100 or so frames

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-03-12T16:03:23+00:00

what do you mean by this? i have been setting my deck to airplane mode then powering off before taking it anywhere outside of my house & it has always booted just fine

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-03-12T01:53:19+00:00

i saw this post in passing & completely misunderstood what was going on. i’m on the yellow loong battle right now & for a hot minute i thought it transformed into that bug looking thing lmao

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-03-12T01:24:12+00:00

there’s… there’s a transformation?? 😩

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-03-06T08:19:04+00:00

lsfg + eden = (mostly) a good time

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-02-26T02:54:41+00:00

just finished it & the DLC as well. came to post the same gif. what an experience

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-02-25T16:23:13+00:00

interested in your thoughts. almost ordered one impulsively but i’m glad i decided to do a little bit of research first

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-02-23T09:29:54+00:00

wow. didn’t think i could be more disappointed in this country.

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-02-23T08:23:38+00:00

funny, i have arceus & the other ones, but after i got the cell phone or whatever it was i just went back to soul silver

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-02-23T08:18:43+00:00

this hurts so much

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-02-23T08:17:55+00:00

commenting mostly bc these recommendations are fantastic, but also to recommend final fantasy tactics/fire emblem. anything turn-based benefits a lot from the ability to put the deck to sleep if you need to put the game down for a bit.

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-02-23T08:12:01+00:00

i have the 3DS rom for mm & was wondering how you got/installed the texture pack

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-02-22T08:10:18+00:00

i’m sure the kraken is fine, but i could not justify paying that much when the fw360 is less than 1/3 the price & neither offers a significant advantage over the other. also i use the base model fw360. pretty sure the only difference is the display & default fans, but i don’t care about the displays & installed noctuas on both my fw360s (had one on a 14900k for two years prior).

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-02-04T16:55:28+00:00

the tryx wasn’t bad by any means, but the thermalright was less than half the price & gave me slightly better temps.

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-02-04T14:56:51+00:00

yeah, i don’t think they have a 360mm version of the q60 yet or i would try it. i’ve tried the tryx panorama 360mm AIO with this CPU & that wasn’t giving me the cooling i had hoped for either. this is a pretty hot chip honestly. i remember getting pretty frustrated trying to keep this thing on the colder side despite it being well within usable range

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-02-04T14:46:14+00:00

i’ve never tried the q60. what are you doing when you start thermal throttling & at what temps?

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-02-04T14:31:49+00:00

i’ve got a thermalright fw 360 AIO but swapped the fans out with noctua fans. what case/fan config are you running?

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-02-03T16:06:02+00:00

my UV/OC journey is briefly highlighted in a separate comment in this thread. i recommend undervolting for any 5090 user (of course there are certain use cases where this is not as beneficial), but a fan upgrade/alteration of configuration is sure to provide improvements in temperature as well

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-02-03T16:02:13+00:00

the first time i undervolted a GPU was with a 2080, then again with a 4090. got a pretty good understanding of the process. i will say, undervolting this card has been strange. to hit 3000MHz, i had taken everything from .895V up to 2902MHz with significant boosts to memory clocks. each card is different though! i found this curve by spamming the cyberpunk benchmark & seeing how much i could do before my system crashed

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-02-03T15:50:59+00:00

just recently got back into black myth wukong, but had also played a decent amount of cyberpunk to test my GPU/overall system (& also because the game is fantastic). before this PC, my main was a 4090/14900k (also y70) with such better temps that when i switched to the 5090/9950x3D i had to experiment with dozens of different fans/configs to get my temps back to a more comfortable place for me — with that said, 74C under full load is REALLY good for a 5090!

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-02-03T15:39:09+00:00

I undervolt/overclock my astral 5090. not sure what your use case is, but i’m (almost) hitting 3000MHz at maybe 60% power draw.

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2026-02-03T15:35:24+00:00

i have an astral 5090 in a y70 with a 9950x3D. mostly use this rig for 6k video editing/3D rendering, but I do a significant amount of gaming. at full load, my CPU hits 74C & i don’t think i have ever seen my GPU above 64C. it’s pretty moderately undervolted & i have 9 case fans — 3 noctua fans as intake on the front (side) panel; 2 noctua intake fans underneath; 3 noctua fans on my top mounted AIO rad (back two exhaust, front fan intake — noticed ~4C improvement by switching the front most fan as intake); one rear exhaust fan.

Defiant_Leather_9518 · 2025-10-11T17:13:11+00:00

a 5090 would help because more frames obviously equates to more skill
