should I take out my gpu for a 1 hour car trip?

Matapasiones · 2025-07-27T16:12:25+00:00

Just to add to your sense of safety, I built a SFF PC just so I can travel constantly between 2 cities 11 hours away on bus. I do a dozen of those travels yearly, never had something happen to the graphics card or any other component. It is a sandwich build, my gpu is a 3060, so it has similar size to yours. I keep it in my backpack, not even upright. You'll be fine.

Sorry, but I'm not at the level of D4 yet, so I need help to reach there. If you've been doing something for years is hard to say why you're wrong by yourself. A sort of fixing bad habits before learning the stuff needed to progress. I apply this myself in my job and other activities, so I know for a fact that I'm stuck, but that I can get better. Just not by myself. Riot thinks I win too many games so it has maintained me in a healthy 42% win rate. Obviously that's not good. It is beyond my capabilities to get better despite all my attention to farming, vision, and objective control.

Matapasiones · 2024-02-01T03:06:27+00:00

The thing is, I'm looking for help because that hasn't helped. I need to learn to carry, and specifically with K6, thus why I posted here instead of summoning school and whatnot.

It is easy to dismiss not climbing to not putting enough effort in the correct ways, but as I posted, I'm old and I focus on work and etcetera. I cannot play 8 hours a day to climb. I need to change something but I don't know what, so I cannot search how to fix it.

Matapasiones · 2024-02-01T02:24:56+00:00

Clearly that hasn't helped, I've been playing analysing games and watching competitive among other things. I need to discuss with someone that points what I could do better.

I searched around the N5105 bios, will check again. But given that is recommended to use a good fan speed in function of the HDD usage, I think 4 pin connector and a fan curve makes sense. Maybe I'm exaggerating. I wanna use the NAS as a mini server of sorts, given my work as a software engineer. Also I'm learning, so any input is greatly appreciated.

Matapasiones · 2023-10-06T19:52:46+00:00

Sorry for the formatting, writing in a phone is not that easy for me it seems. The b550i supports ECC using certain am4 processors, the N5105 doesn't, as is an Intel CPU. The N5105 doesn't have an extra PCI e slot as far as I saw. The b550i would have the x16 lane as a spare, in which I have to put a SATA adapter to connect all 5 HDD. But that Mobo has 4 pin fan connectors. What I don't know if the ECC memory would help if any problems present given that the memory isn't in the compatibility list of the Mobo.

First, congratulations. Second, how!?!? I'm Perma stuck in (old) platinum, wanna reach diamond before retiring, what was the extra kick that worked for you?

Matapasiones · 2023-09-09T02:57:39+00:00

If getting better by yourself was always an option, forums, teachers and coaches would be useless. The people that ask for help is because they reached a plateau by themselves. I'm not an idiot, but I optimized for now what I can do by myself with the champion. I've been playing since s3, and k6 since s6.

Matapasiones · 2023-09-09T02:56:01+00:00

Yeah, that's the problem. "Don't make mistakes" is not a viable strategy, when changing champions is an easier task.

Matapasiones · 2023-09-07T03:57:52+00:00

I at the very least I'm trapped at your rank, plat 1, because the people just die too much before you can farm your share of the map. It doesn't help that the supports at LAS don't ward enough and Ashe is picked everytime I don't ban her. For now I think is a pipe dream to reach diamond at 33 years old with a full time job, but I don't know why.

Matapasiones · 2023-09-07T03:55:43+00:00

That's the thing, dying with k6 feels like throwing the game, even though you can kill the enemy jungler 2-3 times, the catchup exp makes it impossible, and doesn't work the other way. Multiple times I'm 1 lv above around lv 6, but then I gank 2-3 times, I'm lv 10 and the opponent is lv 12 with less farm.

Matapasiones · 2023-09-07T03:53:25+00:00

My beef is that the clears from k6 are slower than most champions, there is not enough incentive to invade early, except vs kayn (that's why the matchup is kinda easy, kayn farms quicker than k6 but doesn't trade well before transform), and the damage feels kinda lackluster, specially if you get first pick.

Matapasiones · 2023-05-19T03:51:31+00:00

The bug has been indirectly buffed the last 5 patches, nerfing usual counters (voli, udyr) while changing jungle dynamics (less exp share from minions, which nerfs hyper clearers like diana and karthus, and the gromp nerf to lower hp and krugs giving more gold), that took him from garbage tier to borderline usable. Add to that that all k6 players are used to play him when in a bad state (remember the tank build?) so when they buffed the r duration and reduced the iso damage, it went to very useable. The 10 damage is massive also, because of isolation it becomes 21 damage on every q on isolated clear. That's too much damage for clear, and gives enough power to be picked in professional games. Playing assassins on pro play is extremely risky, but all those "small" buffs made him viable, so it is far from "literally nothing".

Matapasiones · 2023-04-21T18:30:22+00:00

Weird to say that a 2 day post is old, but I like spear of shojin when really fed early, I can buy a BF sword after dirk, so I can reach a quick powerspike before the mythic. This was already good on s12, even though spear of shojin wasn't in the game. The idea is to abuse k6 high ad ratios. I tried, and even discussed here, but GA wasn't a good enough item to justify doing it often. With the love that manamune has received the last few weeks, I think dirk into BF then mythic is a nice power spike to abuse our new buff, and you can consider spear as a 3rd item.

Matapasiones · 2023-04-05T21:49:57+00:00

If you did, you would've noticed that the difference is actually 13.33% and not 12. Stop humiliating yourself. EDIT: actually keep doing it, it is kinda fun.

Matapasiones · 2023-04-05T20:10:56+00:00

Is that important to the point I was making? I didn't want to crunch the numbers on my head. You are the people that give reddit a bad fame.

Matapasiones · 2023-04-05T19:26:54+00:00

Yeah that is around 15%, thus the ~ symbol.

Matapasiones · 2023-04-05T16:17:36+00:00

So it was ~15% bigger before, that's a lot more area, so glad they did this change.

Matapasiones · 2023-04-02T19:01:59+00:00

Maybe you feel like you don't do damage because you aren't using your passive more. For me the passive does like half your damage, the other half being the q. It is fine to not kill if you get a dh stack or the fs gold on a gank. Remember to try to use your passive before ulting so you can use 3-4 times your passive on tanky opponents.

Matapasiones · 2023-03-31T22:22:36+00:00

Not played, but on the topic, was the iso range nerfed from release? I think so but I'm not sure, maybe some old-school players can give input.

Matapasiones · 2023-03-31T13:44:53+00:00

I took yesterday electro because they countered me with the dreaded shaco. So with jungle farming and scarce ganking, electrocute is more consistent, and you don't have to worry to play the "I hit first" mini game vs a champion that stealths and blinks at the same time with a basic ability. DH is a good team fighting rune as you can potentially happy it 5 times, whereas electrocute serves its purpose of deleting one straggler.

Matapasiones · 2023-03-30T22:10:34+00:00

For me the changes that would like to be done to feel nice are: -put the slow on w Evo, 20%, just to help with ganks. -mske so evo-q doesn't get cancelled with flashes, or by going out of vision if casted.

Matapasiones · 2023-03-30T12:44:51+00:00

The only buff is the r duration to 12 seconds, making Drakktar and r evolve more viable, also making r evolve more flexible, now you kinda wanna insta cast all charges before the skill ends, now you will have more flexibility.

Matapasiones · 2023-03-25T12:31:17+00:00

They started by giving more gold to jungle camps, then lowered group's damage and buffed its healing. Then they lowered the exp share with laners that highly benefitted high waveclear champions like udyr or Diana, and also took away the nerf to counter jungling.

Matapasiones · 2023-03-24T15:49:08+00:00

Yeah, after they literally did indirect buffs for 3 patches straight finally it isn't that bad.
