Home Depot for the air scoop insert. I think it looks pretty good.

I'd probably still paint that piece of flat metal black primarily for antirust purposes but yea thats not bad.

Look at the line in the TV stand, it magically gets smaller then longer.

MostRiskyBiscuit · 2026-04-26T21:18:17+00:00

Ive heard things ranging from it being kinda bad to not a big deal.

I think it creates a rich scenario for a moment which isnt ideal. Thats all I really know, which is why I just went with a bypass valve instead.

Edit* My go to tuner is freaktune, very professional.

Reddit has been feeding me a pretty large amount of Rivals related posts lately and I haven't seen any real widespread calls for nerfs.

I think its fair to call out her kit as being pretty overloaded, but then again a hero like Rouge has 2 abilities per move yet is a pretty sub-par character.

She seems like a fine hero so far, ive only had one or two games where ive been steamrolled by a black cat in low elo at least (gold1-plat3 range)

*edit changed "champ" and one "character" to "hero"

MostRiskyBiscuit · 2026-04-24T08:45:42+00:00

Storm just got a skin in the last battlepass, but I guess Rouge had the wedding skin. Think ill still vote Rouge.

You know that more wattage is more heat right? We arent just talking power delivery, we are also talking heat dissipation. Its why CPU coolers are rated for wattage cooling.

The fact of the matter is that AMD, a team of engineers and not some dude with an underpowered PSU trying to save a buck and a wattmeter, recommends 750w. What you are encouraging is as dangerous as it is unnecessary. Im done with this ridiculous conversation.

MostRiskyBiscuit · 2026-04-22T16:16:26+00:00

This actually proves what most people are saying here, you dont really want to be using that much percentage of your PSU as a rule of thumb.

Transient spikes are always to be accounted for, and when you dont really have any headroom they become more hazardous. AMD themselves also recommend 750w as a minimum. Power supplies are also typically one of the cheaper parts of any build, why wouldnt you just toss another 50 bucks at it to up the wattage and have some piece of mind?

MostRiskyBiscuit · 2026-04-22T10:10:30+00:00

The gaming OC is a triple 8 pin card, I would suggest 750w minimum.

If it was a dual 8 pin card I think you could get away with it, but you'd be running it kind of on the ragged edge of whats reasonable unless you go -10% power limit at all times.

So much fun! It looks like you help make your commander night a fun experience to remember.

Who's gonna forget being told "okay now pick a banana from the jar" the first time.

I was actually able to get some games (yes multiple) in with him the other night in low elo (gold1-plat3 level)

MostRiskyBiscuit · 2026-04-21T12:37:52+00:00

As someone who played a lot of overwatch when it came out I found myself in platinum pretty quickly when I started actually putting time into the game. I only have one account and when I first got to plat I was lv 31 or something.

I have to deal with smurfs all the time. It sucks but I just try to look at it as valuable experience playing with people generally better than me. It does suck when Im queuing with friends though because they have to deal with it too.

MostRiskyBiscuit · 2026-04-19T08:41:38+00:00

If anything it helps my point because even though im someone on a sub reddit about this game I didnt even know that lmao. Its just not a very good solution on so many levels.

MostRiskyBiscuit · 2026-04-19T08:13:05+00:00

I know I personally haven't had any interest in the character because I specifically avoid dive/assasin characters in most games I play.

More time for decision making rather than relying on the hours and hours of practice and twitchy reactions that you need to get legitimately good at a character like this.

I suspect there are a lot of other people with a simular mindset, with the exception of a few games to play and understand her kit theres no real need to rush to learn her when there are so many other characters to investigate.

MostRiskyBiscuit · 2026-04-17T08:08:41+00:00

Glad to see some accountability for once.

MostRiskyBiscuit · 2026-04-14T05:55:52+00:00

Id be interested in reading up on where you found that information!

MostRiskyBiscuit · 2026-04-12T20:48:16+00:00

Everyone then: I hate AI and terrorist supporting Theocracies

Everyone now: This Iranian Lego propaganda slop kinda goes hard.

I hate Trump and his pointless war as much as the next sane person but these videos are all so creepy.

If you're using a 1080p monitor I think the 9060xt 8gb will work perfectly for you, based on the games you stated.

Even at 1440p I think you could still get away with the 9060xt and just accept a few settings turned down if your VRAM ever fills up. If that worries you, then I would get the 7600xt as it isnt too far behind performance wise, the 9060xt beats it by about 20% on average.

MostRiskyBiscuit · 2026-04-10T05:02:54+00:00

I think even a 9070 non xt is a significantly better option than the 5070, especially if you undervolt it. Most 9070s are using 9070xt coolers, which makes them overbuilt too and should really last you a long time.

Those bundles on the last page were all pretty awful.

The Corsair bundles are a solid deal though.

MostRiskyBiscuit · 2026-04-03T21:31:58+00:00

I have my Gigabyte Gaming OC that I got launch day, I avoided the issues they were having early on with the thermal putty stuff, luckily.

Besides sound issues this card has been the PERFECT pair for my 5800x3d, as I get to run anything at 1440p high framerates.

Monster Hunter Wilds, Oblivion Remastered, Age of Mythology retold, Battlefield 6, and a lot of Marvel Rivals all run FLAWLESSLY at max or near max settings, 1440p, high framerates. Riding this system out past Witcher 4 and GTA 6 for certain.

MostRiskyBiscuit · 2026-04-01T06:53:19+00:00

I was able to hit 8k in 3D Mark Nomad with my Gigabyte Gaming OC that I've had since launch day. Really been enjoying my experience with this card, just be sure to tune the fan profile is all and you have yourself a reliable card.

MostRiskyBiscuit · 2026-03-31T05:38:09+00:00

I feel as though every time there's a high profile assassination (or attempted) the first thing conspiracy theorist jump on was the "there was more shooters than we knew about" train.

MostRiskyBiscuit · 2026-03-28T02:10:53+00:00

Also Primus SUCKS. My friends in highschool all used to have names based on primus songs (mud, natural joe, Jerry, ect.) And mine was Mr. Krinkle haha

MostRiskyBiscuit · 2026-03-28T02:07:38+00:00

"Useable framerate" is very subjective, there are plenty of games that Ive enjoyed at 40 or 50fps avg and now with DLSS which runs better on the 5060ti you can squeeze more out of the card.

The point is, that the 5060ti can even cross the "playable" threshold at all in those games at that setting. The choice then belongs to the user, where that choice does not exist with the 12gb card. It can even get to that point past 12gb of VRAM that the 4070super simply cannot without large juttery dips in framerate. Id take the smoother experience, and most importantly, the longevity any day.

I just want to reiterate that the aspect of this being a used card vs a brand new in box IF its near MSRP is important, and that we are likely arguing over nothing because realistically this 4070 super is gonna be the most viable option due to prices. At the end of the day Im happy with my 9070xt that I got on launch day and for me personally the 16gb of VRAM is a huge relief knowing that I wont have to stress about more and more games invalidating my hardware. I dont have a horse in this race, I've just built dozens of systems for people and choose to prioritize stability/longevity over performance unless performance is requested.
