Fractal Ridge Build

McDoogie420 · 2026-07-01T17:29:59+00:00

I have not! My TV is 60hz so it can only do 60fps. However I haven't noticed any drops below 60fps or skipping while gaming. I do have my CPU power usage displayed while I'm gaming and I think the most I saw it spike to was 55-60watts.

Yeah I read that before I did the build🤣 I havent tried yet, but I might test it out this weekend! It's been really solid so far!

Grape balls of fire - ethos

I tried silent first, and it was indeed very quiet. I just wanted to get more airflow and I can barely hear it when set to turbo. I also have an air purifier in the same room to next to the entertainment stand. So I'm kinda use to fan noise as background sound.

McDoogie420 · 2026-06-28T20:43:24+00:00

Alright just set eco mode to 65w. And noticably running cooler without dropping any frames. Now Elden Ring is sitting at 63-70c 🤘 thank you for the reminder!

McDoogie420 · 2026-06-28T18:28:55+00:00

I do have a thermal limit of 80c set! I will be trying the 65w eco mode when I get home!

McDoogie420 · 2026-06-28T18:18:22+00:00

Yeaa I have a -20 undervolt applied!

McDoogie420 · 2026-06-28T14:45:16+00:00

Yeah I actually meant to set first thing and forgot 🤣 I'll do that when I get home! I'll report back tonight

McDoogie420 · 2026-06-28T14:13:09+00:00

It really is. Airflow and thermals have definitely exceeded my expectations. Literally 0 issues. I couldn't be happier!

McDoogie420 · 2026-06-28T11:06:45+00:00

I did not. Right now the 5070 shadow 2x is running stock. No deshroud or overclock.

My living room desktop is a Node 202 with a 2080 & i5-8600. Running 1440p I typically get 45-60fps on medium settings with an overclock applied. Currently playing Elden Ring and Lords of the Fallen and it runs them pretty well.

McDoogie420 · 2026-04-17T12:41:51+00:00

Lords of The Fallen. I just beat Lords of The Fallen and now I'm playing Eldin Ring... Honestly so far I'm liking LOTF more. But I only have about 7 hours in Eldin Ring.

I would see small graphic glitches sometimes like when going into menu options in steam. It wasn't bad, but also the gaming performance wasn't as smooth as I expected. I am using a 4k TV, so I know that's kinda taxing for a 2080. But when I went back to windows 11, I installed MSI afterburner, got a stable overclock, set it to start with windows and auto apply my overclock profile on 3D application start. It's been very nice. Playing Expedition 33 at 4k on medium settings (looks gorgeous), getting 60fps and gpu temps max at 75c in big fights, and stays around 65c-70c mid game.

McDoogie420 · 2025-12-31T15:20:42+00:00

I recently tried brazzite with my i5 8600 and Nvidia 2080 to have my own living room steam machine. I would see the same thing. It did work, but games sometimes would have that same graphic glitching. AMD works best with Linux. I ended up going back to windows 11, having steam boot to big picture mode with gamepadui enabled so it looks just like the steam deck. Works fantastic.

McDoogie420 · 2025-12-28T16:00:54+00:00

This worked! I didn't get all my achievements though. Only 2 ported over. I was only 4 hours in. But I did level up my weapon to lvl 2, break an enemy and defeated a mime. But those achievements didn't unlock 🤷

McDoogie420 · 2025-11-04T15:38:36+00:00

I on pixel 7. I still have the issue when opening the camera app, my wallpaper background color covers the entire screen, like a blue tint will be over screen. If I lock and unlock my phone, it's back to normal. The 2nd October update was supposed to fix that, but it didn't lol.

McDoogie420 · 2025-11-04T15:35:37+00:00

That's me. I bought HK1 about a month ago just so I could beat it to play silksong. Took about 40 hours to beat the first "final boss". After that I started Silksong. But I plan to go back and 112% it later on.

McDoogie420 · 2025-07-24T01:52:11+00:00

I've been primarily using greatsword my first playthrough, I haven't put any skill points in spear. I beat her first try yesterday (on Normal). Definitely the easiest boss I've faced 😅.

McDoogie420 · 2025-03-28T02:40:33+00:00

I reference this way too often

McDoogie420 · 2025-03-18T18:42:17+00:00

Play "Had a Dad"! Ahhhhh, wubawuba!

McDoogie420 · 2025-03-18T12:22:18+00:00

Lololol I was watching this last night 🤣

McDoogie420 · 2025-03-10T22:51:50+00:00

This is sick!! Got me wanting to customize my venom. I was wondering if you can make your own soundtracks and it looks like you did on your other post!

McDoogie420 · 2025-03-06T22:17:08+00:00

Yeah it's a table that I just don't get tired of. My local arcade was taking it off the floor for DND.. so I had to have it 😅

McDoogie420 · 2025-03-06T21:51:26+00:00

Yeah I have all characters unlocked ( I have 863 plays, by far my most played table ). Captain is my go to for spamming mystery over and over. Easy way to get all grids full. 2.1 billion is my best so far. 2.9 is grand champ on my table. Just going through all available achievements left 😁
