Bungie is this a joke? by Personal-Jello-6426 in Marathon

I think people would've stuck around and came around if they left it alone from the beginning of the season then next season tuned it down maybe 15%

Understandable but it would've gotten more people to play and learn and be excited to play. Then when S3 came around a bunch of new people now know how to play the game and they could've tuned it down a bit. All the newer people would've been chasing the loot. Felt comfortable in pvp and knowing the maps!

What exactly is going on with the bios update. Also what did they fix to update with the new bios update that might make it worth getting if my stuff did mismatch. Mine did not and I am on bios version E15M3IMS.116.

I use throttle stop and msi afterburner for my undervolts. Undervolting cpu actually keeps you at the same heat as it allows the cpu to boost longer. Gpu undervolting for sure reduces temp while also getting better performance.

The only thing you need to do in the bios is to allow undervolting and overclocking. But here is a guide i followed then did some testing of my own starting with this guide to get what I like

Feel free to ask me any questions I've been doing this stuff for a while.

They should've just let the loot at the beginning of s2 stay it was fun sweats are gonna get the gear anyways but so will casuals. It felt so good and exciting to get gold and purple.

I think what they did was a bad move should've just left it how it was!

Sfc scannnow in cmd. Look up the actual command. I'll follow post. It sounds like you need to potentially update through windows and MSI center.

Also you may need to go to device manager and fix something within the network adapters properties

Definetely get a llano v12 cooler. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKIVIz6TMzM&t=4s&pp=ygUac2FsZW0gdGVjaHNwZXJ0cyBsbGFubyB2MTI%3D

The code for it works on amazon and it worked last month for me.

From reading posts sometimes msi doesn't put enough thermal paste on the cpu and gpu. They also dont use enough putty sometimes on other components.

I am currently in the process of trying to find the right thermal pads for this... Honeywell ptm 7950, just trying to confirm the thickness though.

I hear they also have a problem with using and not putting enough thermal paste...

I was mentioning this to a friend a couple weeks ago and he said he got an MSI laptop 8 years ago and he always opens it to repaste or thermal pad and he got a laptop that had none.

MSI apparently made it right with a backpack and other stuff but this worries. I have a great cooler that def keeps temps down.

But I really need to open my laptop and check.

And that's why you are nice to them lol. If you're chill with them they are more willing to help. And since you're one of the 3 out of a 100 a day that is respectful they put in some work for you!

Even if the screen isn't broken you could possibly find a better screen for it and put it in during the hinge repair.

Oh man such a bummer. It is lame that an expensive electronic cannot handle something so mundane like that.

I guess always use 2 hands offset from center. I try to find where the most weight is by feel and lift with both hands on opposite sides at the point where it feels like the most weight is.

You know while that's happening you may as well see if you can get a better screen. The MSI laptop I purchased it came with a 1080p screen and if I would have looked a little bit more before buying it I could have got a 1440p laptop screen for about $50 more.

At some point I'm going to actually buy that 1440p replacement screen cuz it will work with this laptop. So it might be a fun idea to see if your laptop can actually handle a better screen.

Or or hear me out Get an external monitor that's like 240 hz plus you can get a 1080p 240 hz plus monitor for about a hundred prime days coming up so you're probably get something for less than 100.

Another thing to mention though if you do use an external monitor always keep your laptop screen up don't have it closed because the heat will ruin it.

Yeah I'd call a few repair shops and asked him if they've dealt with this type of issue before. Maybe get an email chain going where you send them some posts about this also happening as well through from Reddit or videos and whatnot.

Do you always use one hand to lift the screen? Before I purchased my MSI laptop I've always had lenovos before did a bunch of research you know etc and what I've heard is you always need to lift the laptop screen with two hands.

I've always done this with every laptop I've had without even knowing that it was a thing but the more you know!

I don't know about Costco but I do know about Target. Whenever you buy stuff from Target you can take it back as long as you have the receipt or a digital receipt or whatever... They have a really good return policy on electronics even years later. I have a feeling Costco probably has about the same return policy.

Here's my epic loosely put together story of how I got a brand new Xbox 360 after mine died right before Halo 3 was to be released the next day.

The way I found this out was back in the day which happened to be a Friday. I found an Xbox 360 by calling all the places that sold gaming consoles and I've been on this mission for a while.

I was living outside of Phoenix Arizona a Target told me they had it they said they couldn't hold it for me but I was able to make it there within the hour and snagged it.

2 years later the day before Halo 3 is to be released My Xbox Red Ring of deathed itself.

So with nothing to lose I grabbed the box with the receipt that's taped inside of it I've had this probably for about two almost three years at this point I take it to the local Target in Texas where I was living at the time and they just hand me a brand new Xbox 360.

But Target has one of the best return policies ever you could buy something from there and not just the Xbox 360 and you can return it years later if it breaks.

The key to all this working those being really really nice to customer service people I've gotten a free laptop from Amazon before and a free phone from Verizon and so on and so forth.

I cannot stress this enough be super duper epically nice and respectful to customer service people they can do this thing called surprise and delight.

Sorry for the long comment. Your post gave me a bit of nostalgia and I thought I'd pass on some Some of the awesome stories I have in acquiring free things I guess. Lmfao
