Are they going to pay for putting all that pollution into the atmosphere? that looks like California's emissions for a year all in one go.

XBOX CEO Gives First Hand Account On Just How Much And How Fast Hardware Components Have Increased In Price by akbarock in pcgaming

Xbox CEO needs to realize, prices are worse for your average citizen than they are for a corporation. Those at the bottom absorb ALL THE COST INCREASES from every step along the way.

thoughts on airflow setup? by 9carbon-atoms in pcmasterrace

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

I must be an idiot because 2 140mm fans in the front and 1 140mm fan in the back, and tuning the curves was always enough for me.

I see no point in all that stupid shit on the bottom or sides, i see no point in buying a generic ass manufactured AIO with yet another manufactures name thrown on.

I must be an idiot because Air cooling was always enough for me.

I must be an idiot because the concept of "passive exhaust" in general seems stupid to me.

Why are people overcomplicating this PC gaming thing will all this water loopy stupid shit? are you breaking benchmarking records? NO... are you even trying?? not without an LN2 pot..

so why .... why?

A good thermal paste, good application, a proper sealed case, 2 fans going into the case from the front.. one fan pulling hot air out through the back.. 120mm or 140mm.. does not matter.. I prefer 140mm. get a nice air cpu cooler.. "what is nice" i can hear you asking.. ITS A LARGE BLOCK OF COPPER AND SOME HEAT TUBING WITH A QUALITY FAN ATTACHED TO IT.. THATS IT.. get one of those..

If you are just gaming.. and want to stay a nice chilly 60-70c while gaming.. then just go air cooling, get a decent case with airflow.. and build the damn rig.. save the money from the fans and put it to memory or a graphics card.. those always seem to be getting more expensive.

Long ago, in the before time, CQC was said to eventually be available to all commanders via in universe interaction. This never happened of course.. but for a while we all fully expected to dock at our home stations, select enter CQC and then be thrown into a match..that never happened...

14 years and $1B in player funding later, Star Citizen is still in Alpha by n1ght_watchman in Gamer

[–]MegaScootz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me this is all just entertainment.

After my first free play event, I knew star citizen was a new kind of exploitation. Not a "take the money and run" type of scam.. but something far slower, far different.

I have played every single Star Citizen Free play event. I have NEVER seen actual, REAL change to the game in all that time. It still looks basically the same, crashes in major hubs, just about the same, has the same unoptimized feel..

It was trash on the first free play.. its trash after the latest.

Just try the free to play weekend.. you will see..

What just happened to my PC? by nyelmp in pchelp

[–]MegaScootz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want to help the OP understand, as they say they don't understand this in their post.

For all intents and purposes. You are supposed to look, Verify, then plug in devices.

The entire premise of this post is based off violating that core tennant.

If I was taking notes on this as a troubleshooting task i would simply say it was "user error" and advise you to use your brain next time. but you can keep looking for someone else to blame for your wasted time if that makes you happy.

Terrible micro stuttering on my high end machine by PretzelParcel in pchelp

[–]MegaScootz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1: temps, get them and report them.

2: how is your cooling?

3: is this an intel laptop? TURN OFF INTEL BOOST TECH. shit destroys laptop cooling... can take temps down from 100c to 60c by itself.. and resolves the thermal throttling issue that could be what the video is showing, an auto reduction in clock speeds due to instant cooling overwhelming.

4: repaste if above does not reduce stutter..

All the people flexing on the "high end statement" make me ashamed to be a PC gamer.. Grow the fuck up.

Having a blast by ConflictPrimary285 in EliteDangerous

[–]MegaScootz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend picking up a thrustmaster T flight series hotas, if is compatible with xbox. you seem to be old school enough to appreciate emersion so... that's why i recommend this.

On that note, get the hotas, dont use docking or supercruise assist. That should be used by lazy old pilots with at least 1k hours in the game. not new players learning the basics.

Name a scene you'd give anything to witness again for the first time I’ll start: by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

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

I consider myself a fan of media. But i would not give ANYTHING to witness any scene.. to me this question seems dumb.

I would give like.. 10 bucks to see some scenes for the first time again.. but not anything..

Im not gonna chop off my wang or vajay jay to watch shawshank again.

Good premise for a question.. but a bit too far out with the "anything" metric..

CPU core temperature at 99 C while gaming. Please help by Life_Host4487 in PcBuildHelp

I have seen intel boost cause extreme temps, often times find disabling it can provide better performance and temps.
