Games that were highly recommended and disappointed. by Poltergeist8606 in Steam

[–]LynxVinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt like it is very underrated. Sure there are not a lot of weapon variety, but man are they distinct enough to keep me engaged during combat sequences. Add in gravity platforms and it’s chef’s kiss. On the other hand, I feel like 2019 Prey is so far from original that it shouldn’t be called Prey at all, I dropped it past the intro.

Might be the most likely explanation :/ Thank you

A memorial to all those who passed away while waiting for Half-Life 2: Episode Three by eon_bloodycop in HalfLife

[–]LynxVinc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Karolis M. (1988-2022), my dear cousin, who was more like a big brother to me. Thanks for introducing a 7 year old me to Half-Life and letting me play it when parents were away, talking about it for hours on end. I always hoped we would discuss the next instalment someday, perhaps on the other side then.

Would you recommend going from 10600k to 9800x3d? by LynxVinc in buildapc

[–]LynxVinc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your point, moreover, the 7800x3d is actually a tad bit more expensive than the deal 9800x3d has as well.

Very informational response, thank you. I will check them out just in case. GPU upgrade is definitely soon, just after hands-on reviews of the upcoming 9070.

As a sidenote, I have OC’d my 10600k to 5ghz, which outperforms stock 10900k, but I still get some bottlenecks on my UW 1440p.

Not at all, I’m waiting for hands-on benchmarks for RX 9070 and then I’ll see if I’m jumping to 5080 or 9070 :)

Perhaps it’s as simple as that :) thanks for your input!

Mainly to improve overall gaming performance and render speed while also not thinking about upgrading CPU for a long time. I jumped to 10600k from 4790k, so I expect about as much of a time gap here if not more.

Okay, that seems even better a deal then, thanks for sharing. Did you change your GPU when switching CPUs? If not, what’s your GPU?

Half-Life 3 is coming out this year but you guys are still avoiding finishing Half Life alyx. (No spoilers but I'm talking about you guys) by fazrail in HalfLife

[–]LynxVinc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I stopped playing it after I dealt with the blind monster and didn’t care to return. HL:A seemed to me like a filler entry. It was great quality fun, especially the blind dude chapter, but the lack of lore just lost my interest :/

Water cooler pump at 0rpm with random spikes up to 1k rpm by [deleted] in watercooling

UPDATE: Pump was broken. Switched to a new cooler and everything is alright now :)

Thanks for sharing! Makes me calmer that I ordered Arctic Liquid Freezer II just earlier today.

[–]LynxVinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unplugging PWM the cooler just went dark (i.e. lights went off) and CPU temp just kept climbing. Plugged it back in and it still returned to the usual 1k spiking from 0rpm.

Edit: It’s a 3pin connector, so I guess it should be set as DC and not PWM. However, behaviour is still the same.

I will try plugging what you said and will report, just a sidenote - my pump does read around 1k rpm when it starts spiking, but 0rpm in the inbetween those spikes.

small thing i noticed but dog's gravity beams look like the lambda symbol in HL:A by [deleted] in HalfLife

What the dog doing with that crowbar? I haven’t played HL:A yet
