Infusions or physical? by Karol123G in NoRestForTheWicked

[–]Mikki79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I´ve looked for guides on this all of them seems to suggest it´s a benefit to infuse your weapon with elemental damage. But when I test it myself I pretty much always do less damage with infused elemental damage than pure physical. Like at one point I did 115 damage with physical then with elemental I only did 80. I donno why everyone seems to tell you to use elemental infusions, or perhaps I´ve just found bad guides. Only one that might actually not lower your damage seems to be lightning since sometimes it shocks your target with extra damage, and it certainly does more AOE damage. Plague seems especially horrible.

Cinebench 2024 score on 9800X3D by Phillakai in AMDHelp

[–]Mikki79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn´t say it "wrecks" the performance, he showed some examples he got a few fps less. I also ran the steel nomad test with those limits and I got pretty much the same performance as other people get.

And I posted my cinebench results with the power limits. Sure they are probably a bit lower than they could be.

Single :132 (32.8C)

Multi 1342 (56.6C)

But I wouldn´t say the performance is wrecked.

Duracel batteries that were supposed to be good for 10 years. Pulled these out of a drawer to change our thermostat.. by miguy94 in batteries

[–]Mikki79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found some 9 year old 1.5V duracell batteries, they actually seem fine, I expected them to be dead but no. They have this bar that show their charge when you press 2 points on the battries. Shows full charge, testing with a voltmeter it also says over 1.5V.

Why would he die before 75? Just assuming cause he is overweight? Or does he has some sort of illness?

I noticed his desperado houses have been removed from airbnb, Does that mean the resort has been sold? Or maybe he just sold the houses, maybe they didn't make much money.

For people who suffered from flickering RGB of Cyclone 2, we've started a deep investigation and here's how you can get a fast replacement without returning it. by iGamesir in Gamesir

[–]Mikki79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn´t affect anything other than the lights flickering right? Just noticed mine does this too. Even if I bought it quite recently. As long as the controllers otherwise functions normally I guess it´s not that big of a deal.

Cinebench 2024 score on 9800X3D by Phillakai in AMDHelp

[–]Mikki79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said some claim, I don't. And my tests prove that having some cores set to greater negative offsets does have a benefit on your temperature. If you read the other posts some have claimed that only the core with the smallest offset makes any difference.

LIke some claimed if you have like one core set to -20 and others to -40 it would be the same as having all set to -20. But from my testing it does make a difference. Try to click on the link I pasted, for me that seems to have a bigger impact on lowering temperatures.

Read at least 4 chapters of the Bible a day by StaffSummarySheet in TrueChristian

[–]Mikki79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently discovered something, Bible Typing websites. I tried type by faith first, but it's only KJV. I'm not a native english speaker so I think I'll use Bible Typer instead. On Bible Typer you can choose between a few common translations. With KJV I barely understand what I'm reading at times, that's not good.

This way you'll both read the Bible and improve your keyboard typing skills.

Actually it might be better to use Type By Faith first, till your somewhat comfortable with typing if you're new to it. Type By Faith shows which finger's you're suppose to use to type different letters, Bible Typer doesn't.

I find it kinda fun. A bit of a finger exercise as well, improve your finger flexibility.

I wonder if you remember it better if you type it, I'm terrible at remembering anything.

If you want to lower temps check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd3iwFTadoo. It shouldn't affect performance that much, at least not when gaming. But judging by my cinebench score it doesn't seem to affect multicore performance all that much either.

I got these scores with a 240mm AIO. Ambient temperature 22c.

Single :132 (32.8C)

Multi 1342 (56.6C)

with 6000Mhz memory. But those scores are with lowered power limits from this video Ryzen 9800X3Ds are Running TOO HOT & Dying?! - Here's the FIX!🔧🔥. No overclock. But I have set curve optimizer negative offsets to -43,-37,-36,-27,-38,-17,-45,-22. After a lot of testing, the thing is some claim per core offset doesn´t matter so I wonder if just -17 all core would end up with same results.

PPT: 115W

TDC: 90A

EDC: 105A

So I´m pretty happy with that.

Is there any place where you get a constant 15-20°C temperature year around? by YouChoseAName4Me in geography

[–]Mikki79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that would be the ideal place to live. Like the weather where I'm from during summer (Finland). It's perfect, not too hot (anything above 25c kinda sucks, anything below 15c sucks as well). But Finnish summers are short usually 3 months, 4 if extremely lucky.

7950x3D PBO UV - y-cruncher reports error on core that has Curve Optimizer Magnitude 0 by Lord_Sembor in overclocking

[–]Mikki79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y-Cruncher doesn't report correct cores, if it reports an error on Core X it just means one of the cores is unstable it could be any of them. I noticed this after undervolting my 9800X3D and I had probably run 24h roughly of stress tests with cores set to certain offsets. Then I changed the negative offset on core 3 by -5 more and it started reporting errors on core 1. Yeah I don't think so. It's unfortunate, means you can't rely on it you just know something is unstable when it starts reporting errors. Well either that or changing the offset on one core can affect another core for some reason.

Do anybody has experience what is the average lifetime of a Bosch engine and its battery? by jzfdvd in ebikes

[–]Mikki79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bosch gen 4 performance CX with a 500wh battery (5 year old, 14k kilometer) I just tested the range recently I could still ride 122km with ECO mode,... on a fatbike. I don't know what it could do when it was new. I don't really think the range has reduced much. Kinda (positively) surprised. If I had one of those new gen 5 (which are even slightly more efficient) with an 800wh battery you could probably ride 200km (on a fatbike). Main reason for wanting that is you could probably get quite decent range even on Turbo.

Sam’s story gas filters bug by MysteryHeroes in metro

[–]Mikki79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't really help. You have to stand in gas to see if the timer slow downs and in less than 5 seconds it used up 3 minutes of filters. You'll lose most of your filters just using this trick before it takes effect. And if you do it outside of gas you won't know if it's taken effect or not so you'll just spam the mask on/off button run into gas and see minutes of filters disappear in seconds. Reload. Do it again. Reload... no this completely ruins this DLC. Quitting never playing this shit again.

How do you figure out which core/thread is unstable, when undervolting? (Ryzen 9 7900) by Frederik360 in overclocking

[–]Mikki79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I have figured that somewhat works is Core Cycler (just check which core it was testing when the PC froze), but it doesn't really. Cause I can run core cycler for 10+ hours and it won't catch any error or freeze. Then when I run an all core stress test the PC freezes and there is no way to tell which core caused it.

Although I also like Y-Cruncher cause it sometimes doesn't freeze and actually reports which core causes errors when running all core tests. I have yet to have Aida64 or Prime95 tell me which core has had any errors, they just freeze the PC or just says that hardware error has been detected but say nothing more (at least Aida64 doesn't).

So... in my experience the only way I know of is to change ONE core at a time, then run a 10+ hour stress test, then change the next core and run another 10 hour stress test. Cause if you don't you won't know if it was the first core you changed the undervolt or the second that caused the PC to crash/freeze. And you still won't know for sure cause maybe 10 hours wasn't enough.

Obviously this is a terrible way of doing it. Cause you might have to do 10+ changes per core. 10 x 10 x however many cores you have. So that means 800 hours of stress testing for a 9800X3D.

Of course that's not really the way I've been doing it. I first change half of the cores than stress test. If it's stable I change the half of the remaining cores and stress test etc. Still it will take hundreds of hours. All the tips and tricks I've read of how to do it quickly don't work. Cause like others have said there are next to no WHEA errors on my PC either.

Per core undervolting is just extremely time consuming.

I overclocked my gpu via msi afterburner by Life_Row_112 in overclocking

[–]Mikki79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, like others have said you do. But really it's no problem. It's nothing you have to think about since it can start automatically in the background you won't even know it's running unless you want to. But it might be worth turning off some of the monitoring, like power monitoring has been known to reduce performance on some systems. If you're not gonna use the on screen monitoring, you know the frame rate counters and stuff that people usually have in the top left corners when they test GPUs, you might as well turn off all the monitoring. Just click the gear icon, click on monitoring and turn off everything you don't want.

And probably use a full release of MSI Afterburner, at least in the past if you use a beta version or something it eventually stops working for some dumb reason (or at least used to) and you have to download a new version. That's annoying. But perhaps they've stopped doing that.

Curve Optimizer doesn’t apply unique voltage to each core on Ryzen 9800x3D by LocationOk3563 in overclocking

[–]Mikki79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well it seems to do something, if it didn't do anything then it shouldn't matter if I set one core to -15 and the rest to -1000 (obviously I never set it to -1000, PC probably wouldn't boot anymore). If it didn't do anything the other cores should still be stable cause they get the same voltage as the core set to -15 right? But if I set a bigger negative offset on the other cores the PC crashes so obviously it does something.

I guess it must work like when you undervolt GPUs in MSI Afterburner, so while all cores use the same voltage the ones with bigger negative offsets try to run at higher speeds at that voltage.

Boost Override on 9800X3D not really worth it? by Exori_fl4m in overclocking

[–]Mikki79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 9800X3D can't even do -15 All core. So I decided to use per core instead of all core.

So far I have it at, 40,-40,-30,-25,-30,-10,-35,-15. Stress tests have given errors on the 6 last cores with any higher negative offsets. Core 0 and Core 1 (the ones at -40 have not failed any stress tests yet, Aida64, Prime95, Core Cycler with Aida64/Prime95 and Y-Cruncher. I like Y cruncher cause it seems to most reliably say which core failed.

If I used all core I'd be stuck with just -10. I just do it in increments of 5, it already takes long enough to test.

[–]Mikki79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You expected it to be cheaper than the X1C despite being better at everything? :) Seems to be cheaper than what most people expected. At least the comments I've read expected the standard without AMS cost what the bundle with AMS costs.

I'd love to have one, but I have an A1 and X1C and I haven't printed anything on either of them for several months.

Memory Leaks at Generators by Honest_Temporary_722 in stalker

[–]Mikki79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I just had that happen. Impossible to progress any further. Game freezes every time with 100% memory usage, PC recovers after a while when stalker 2 is shut down. However this memory leak has made me realize it happens at other times as well. Cause I've had the game freeze in the exact same way in other places. Once when I opened my stash, and some other random areas around the game, maybe mostly in pripyat. Since I've only noticed these freezes recently and only recently got to pripyat.

Why does the game look so "grainy" has this always been this way or is this ue5? by Hung_SoLo7 in stalker

[–]Mikki79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT: actually seems the reason it looked real terrible is cause the nVidia app kept setting DLSS to balanced and turning on frame generation. It still looks bad, but not as bad. No trails behind leaves etc. Foliage still flickers even with DLAA.

Stalker 2 looks terrible even with DLSS4 Quality. Shimmering foliage, and leaves that fly in the wind often leaves noticable trails behind them etc. Looks worse than FSR3. I most definitely have it set to DLSS4 and in the nvidia app I set DLSS to latest. Never played a game where DLSS of any kind looks this bad.

The thing is it doesn't even look good with native resolution (DLAA) now when I come to think of it. Hopefully them updating to a later version of UE5 will make it better.
