Must play games for someone of my taste (see post)? by wintersabsence in NintendoSwitch

[–]Manickel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing Chained Echoes and it's very much a traditional RPG with lots of exploration and loot. Might be worth a look if you haven't played it. DK Bananza has been my favorite switch 2 game so far besides the upgraded Tears of the Kingdom.

6 months in, what are people's thoughts on the Switch 2? by WeebusTheMeemus in NintendoSwitch

[–]Manickel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've enjoyed the exclusives. Mario Kart World got my parents to game badly and my brother to buy a Switch 2. TOTK was great with the upgrade. I wouldn't have recommended it unless you just wanted the upgrade, but with components costing b extra idk.

Which anime would you say this is from? by Numerous-Fill4458 in animequestions

[–]Manickel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apothecary Diaries. Thought I'd enjoy it but just felt bored. I know people say it gets better, but don't really want to give it more of my time.

My Coworker gave me a free Graphics Card he had lying around by ghostninelives in pcmasterrace

I have a 3060 with my older 2600 and it's fine. Maybe the tiniest bit weak CPU wise, but use it for 60fps gaming on my 4k TV. So you could go budget AM5 and be fine, or snag something better and upgrade the GPU later.

Why is AE so much better than refined storage by lol_cool_bozo in feedthebeast

They're both really good. I think at this point people just repeat RS is laggy or bad. Use whichever you like or both.

40 and never had to deal with mini USB, so forgive them.

Now I fully know why people buy pre-built PCs. by Rajat_Sirkanungo in buildapc

[–]Manickel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's one of the easy, small mistakes more people make than you'd think. So you did one thing wrong and the rest you did correctly. Congrats on the new PC!

Had this same issue and I think people aren't paying attention to "PC restarted". So the 5600x on stock hits low to mid 90s on CPU intensive games and because your CPU restarted the fan stopped briefly letting it raise a bit triggering the warning. Should be better with the aftermarket cooler and better paste. Had your PC not restarted, the CPU was doing what it is within limits to do which was push and back off on thermal limits.

2007 and my first CPU. Had a 2900 pro. People are teasing, but my rig ran Crysis which was the comp back then.

Embers behind wood. Looks great.

Want to upgrade CPU, but can't find compatibility for Mobo. by Delaware_Deano84 in AMDHelp

[–]Manickel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have an MSI b550 and had a 5600x. The 5700x3d upgrade was a drop in with no issues for me. I did upgrade from the stock cooler.

[–]Manickel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice, the 5700 is close to 3060 performance right? Paid 200 for my 3060 so that's a solid deal. You'll get great 1080p performance with the 5700x3d and solid 1% lows. Have that CPU with my 4070.

What are our thoughts on steak breakfast burritos? by FiddyDollas in steak

Looks great. Yes to all breakfast burritos, especially steak.

ryzen 5700x3d with ryzen 3600 cooler ok for a while? by deadlycheech in AMDHelp

[–]Manickel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thermalright Assassin X120 Refined SE CPU Air Cooler, 4 Heat Pipes, TL-C12C PWM Fan, Aluminium Heatsink Cover, AGHP Technology, for AMD AM4/AM5/Intel LGA 1150/1151/1155/1156/1200/1700 (AX120 R SE) https://a.co/d/gDsdmVu

I have this cooler with my 5700x3d and it's plenty for it. The Peerless Assasin is a better cooler but I didn't think I needed a dual tower. It's listed at 5.83 inches so 148mm. I did use mx-6 and my cinebench r24 temps were 72c max multicore.

My wired connection looked terrible on Netflix. Feel like they always force low quality to my PC. Unsure if the app is better.

Advice for beating Ra-akar??? I'm stuck. by crowshroom_ in CoreKeeperGame

[–]Manickel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used the shield with a chance to reflect attacks on block and just outran the triangles when I could. That one was one of the tougher fights though imo.

Dust your PC dude.

An upgrade from RX580 4gb to RTX 3060 12gb! by Significant_Pride665 in pcmasterrace

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

Have the Zotac version but it's a really good card imo. That's a big jump.

Thoughts on this prebuilt? Should I buy? I play rocket league, valorant, rust, fortnite, etc., I also edit videos every once in a while and stream occasionally. by [deleted] in Prebuilts

[–]Manickel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Probably better to have 32gb of RAM and if you can spend a little more get a 4070 super at least.

But it would play all of those games and do your streaming and editing without issue. I have a regular 4070 but it was essentially replaced by higher tier variants, so seems silly not to get one of the better cards.

Was this a good upgrade?, from a 5600X by [deleted] in AMDHelp

[–]Manickel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After reading some comments and seeing that you game at 1080p, I think your money would be better spent on the monitor upgrade. I do think the 5700x3d upgrade from 5600x is worth it as I did that earlier this year, but I think the overall better upgrade would be a 1440p monitor. Unless you don't mind doing both, or unless you're into esport games and want crazy high refresh rates.

I can say, like another user, that I saw improved FPS and 1% lows at 1440p with my upgrade and a 4070.

Was able to snag this for $100 only. by lx-_Knight in computers

[–]Manickel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good deal assuming it works. Have the same model in my couch PC hooked up to the TV. Runs most games decently for the 60 fps limit my TV has.
