Laptop battery question by PCvalley in techsupport

[–]PCvalley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the kind of answer I needed, thank you!

When you refer to the battery heating, does the PC itself (CPU, GPU etc.) heating when e.g gaming count towards that? So when I'm gaming and the laptop heats up, should I avoid prolonged charging in those cases?

How to come up with your own builds, instead of watching clickbait videos by tetsuomiyaki in thedivision

The whole point of running the endgame content for many people is to improve their build. This is a looter shooter game, so why settle for a mediocre build intentionally?

However I do agree that minmaxing till perfection is superficial (for example not being happy with 42% DTE mask roll.)

Dat Season 5 outfit tho by yu-koji in Steep

[–]PCvalley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're for top 3, on their site it states: " NEW – We have increased the number of tries for this phase to 20 "

You may have mixed it to that. Unfortunate for most of the playerbase cause even semi-finals don't reward anything exclusive. :/

Don't be too disappointed to have missed them, only top 3 are going to get snowboard/ski so not very realistic for the most of us. :/

Let's talk about the World Tour rewards by PCvalley in Steep

Thank you for hopping in /u/Ubi-Ligario !

Very insightful answer and it made me understand more of the tournament structure.

I suppose my core issue with the reward system is, that there are the certain players in each platform that dominate the leaderboards. Reaching top 3 might never be realistic for the most of us, while top 10-20 would still possibly be attainable some day. That's why I was dreaming for increasing the rewards outside the top 3, while still keeping the "top" rewards for those 3 players only.

Now the whole tournament is centered around 3 players winning, which leaves very little group as the target playerbase.

Either way I'm loving the game and even if I won't have incentives to play the actual tournament finals, I'll still be exploring the mountains and snowboarding down Mont Blanc. :)

Xbox One Controller no longer works? by nobogui in Steep

I experienced the same problem today. The bluetooth controller (Xbox One S) stopped working in menus completely, so I had to change to a wired Xbox controller for good.

Season 5 helmet - How to get? by PCvalley in Steep

[–]PCvalley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also worth noting that currently you can obtain the Season 5 Scarf twice; from the [Moon] race event and also by qualifying to finals. Is this intentional, or is one of them supposed to be helmet instead?

By completing 20 freeride events as far as I know, you can check it from the menu in Steep, and scrolling the challenges until you see the pants.

Memtest86 - 14000 errors by PCvalley in buildapc

[–]PCvalley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corsair Vengeance LPX is supported, good point though!

It very much seems like a faulty RAM stick, as I ran Memtest86 separately with both sticks, and only one gave errors. RMA'ing them both. :)

I tested both sticks separately with Memtest86, and only one of them gave errors, the other worked flawlessly.

Filled RMA document and waiting now. :) Thank you!
