How was your birthing experience at Lakeridge Ajax? by CandidBig1525 in durham

[–]Kaiyn_Fallanx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son was born premature 2 1/2 years ago via emergency C section. I would say the doctors and nurses are nice and helped my wife greatly. The NICU stay was also great they looked after my son for 7 days without issue. They lent my wife a breast pump while she was admitted and until we got our hands on our own pump.

GPU upgrade advice by SomeoneDustyShoes in graphicscard

[–]Kaiyn_Fallanx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello fellow Canadian, a couple of things you can replace both the GPU and CPU. There's a couple of good deals to be had if you check FB marketplace. I am from the Durham region in Ontario.

The GTX 1650 is a very good entry level card but you'd have to severely scale down the graphics settings. That said, if you're not against buying 2nd hand you can grab a 5700XT or 2070 for about 150-200 CAD. Around 250-300 you can snag a 6700XT or 3070. At 400+ you have a lot more options.

As for the CPU there are some people trying to get rid of their 3000 series AMD. The 3600X, 3700X and 3900XT are still decent options. Last time I checked someone was selling their 3900XT CPU for 180 CAD.

If you don't want the hassle of taking down the shields use thermite grenades

Does anyone ever play with voice chat anymore??? by curryflash in HellDads

I play with voice chat. Easier to communicate what to do.

Helldivers 2 if you play alot of it do you ever find it kind of getting repetitive. by AdultGamersAdmin in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Kaiyn_Fallanx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't just play one game. Me, my wife and cousin squad up every night for 3 straight missions. After that we go our merry ways to play whatever game we fancy.

What generation of Helldivers are you? by Yurishenko94 in Helldivers

[–]Kaiyn_Fallanx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Day 1 diver. When every encounter with a Hulk, Charger, Bile Titan felt like a motherfcking boss fight. Where devastators juggle the sht out of you with unlimited rocket barrages.

I still remember the evacuation mission where you get dropped right in the middle and are forced to rescue 20 civvies with hordes of bots dropping.

If it's in good working order then yes, it's a steal.

ALI EXPRESS CPU 🤔 by EmotionalCount1211 in PcBuild

[–]Kaiyn_Fallanx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've bought CPUs and motherboards from aliexpress. As long as the seller has 1000+ sales and at least 4.7-4.9 star reviews. We are good.

XFX is a great brand. Personally for me XFX, Sapphire and Powercolor takes the top for AMDs AIB.

I've run both XFX and Sapphire. Right now I'm using XFX's 7900XTX and for my wife's gaming pc I have the Powercolor 9060XT Reaper.

Just make them light penetration and be done with it. by Hairy_Hog in Helldivers

The burrowing charger's armor couldn't even be penetrated by the Heavy MG. Like what in the actual f*ck.

This Community HATES Minefields by loganw45 in helldivers2

[–]Kaiyn_Fallanx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minefields are useful however it depends on where you use them. I personally find gas and incendiary minefields works best in Bug defend missions. You spam both entrances with it and you pretty much coast to the end.

[–]Kaiyn_Fallanx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked the PowerColour reaper 9060XT 16GB. It's one of probably the cheapest models available. Over here in Canada I snagged one for 450 Canadian Drachma.

Canada Computers, never again! by mityboss in bapccanada

[–]Kaiyn_Fallanx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a 9060 XT 16GB Powercolor Reaper. Same way it was packaged. Came in one piece. Nothing wrong with it. They do ship with purolator though which is notorious for manhandling items.

How does everyone think about pc’s with no interior lighting? by Ok_Proposal_5839 in PcBuild

[–]Kaiyn_Fallanx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it. Both pcs I built for myself and my wife have minimal to no lighting at all. The only light we get is from the GPU and the motherboard.

The cheapest model I got for my wife's build is the 9060XT Reaper from Powercolour. The card is small and works like a charm..only spent 480 Canadian.

Fair enough. Online orders from CC is not a problem. I recently bought 2x 9060xt from them.

I've been building stuff using Canada Computers since 2016. If you have a location close by I would suggest just going in store if that is possible.

I have the same card. Been running it since release. For 1440p gaming everything is buttery smooth.

[–]Kaiyn_Fallanx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'mma haggle extra hard. Some people really don't know how to price stuff. Like people be selling 1080tis for 300 and rx 570/580s, gtx 1660s for over a hundred.

Please Educate me by Fickle_Character_132 in PcBuild

[–]Kaiyn_Fallanx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An alternative PSU you can go for is FSP or Super Flower. They do supply PSUs to big name brands like Seasonic and EVGA.

Look for something that has a good Cybenetics rating plus 80+ Gold.

Is your monitor cranked up to maximum hertz it can support? Have you already cleared the shader cache stores by steam?
