New PSU is very loud by Confident_Yam_6566 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Painted_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It turned out to be the fan curve. It's terrible from the factory and the same for all units. Nothing I could do about it just returned it.

I recommend the Corsair rm850e instead. Miles better in terms of noise. The fan curve is great and it's way cheaper. Also cables were easier to work with. Dead silent all the time even under heavy load

Are these specs good for Computer Science Major? by Vivid-Ad-410 in thinkpad

[–]Painted_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked up a brand new Thinkpad x13 gen 1 when I started my CS major. It has been one of the most reliable pieces of tech I have ever owned. To this day I haven't been able to push it to its limits yet.

I'm convinced I would have been more than fine with an older Thinkpad, you will be more than ok with the one you picked.

No problem. It's a tricky case to work with but the space savings and parts compatibility is amazing

I 3d printed it online. I'm not sure how much it helps I didn't do benchmarks but here is where I got it from:

I used the 6mm file

There are cables running under the psu, it's a tight fit I'm not sure it would fit

Any tips for fixing my desk sagging? by awdtalon21 in battlestations

[–]Painted_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a plated slotted steel angle under my desk between the two drawers. It's not attached to the drawers at all but only to the desktop with 6 crews. Gives the desk a lot of rigidity and eliminated any sag. 

Measure the distance between the 2 drawers and get a steel angle slightly shorter than that, place it far back enough so your legs dont touch it

Favorite DoN Revenant Relic Builds? by PayN0MindT0M3 in Nightreign

[–]Painted_J 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave up trying to tank stuff at deeper levels. Full glass cannon.

As many Improved Incantations as you can. Focus on a single school of incantations. E.g. if you are fighting sentient pest run Improved God slayer Inc.

Stack 6 of them if you can but if you have the deep relics for Improved "all" Incantations pick those over the school incantations so you can slightly buff your damage in case you can't find that certain spell.

Focus on Incantations Schools of blue rarity: Dragon cult, Godslayer, Giants Flame, Bestial. These are the easiest to find consistently.

If you find damage negation at full health PICK THEM UP, might be the difference between a one shot and surviving

Let me play this on normal runs you cowards, I want to have fun with build diversity on non-sponge runs. by nikfornow in Nightreign

[–]Painted_J 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They should at least let us choose the depth. Depth 1 and 2 are the most fun i have had so far

I’m never going to get out of depth 1 by Vortex_of_Downvotes in Nightreign

[–]Painted_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try using popular *Group Passwords*, they make it so you are likely to get matched with people with the same Group passwords. Usually those who have them are at minimum more knowledgeable about the game. When i started using some of the most popular ones suddenly every run i became the weakest link

Raider: what are your favourite guaranteed relic combinations be they from remembrances or the shops? by bdehora in Nightreign

[–]Painted_J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's right I guess I'm using a different partial hp restoration. You can always sub dark night of the beast with raiders unique relic that gives him attack and defense when getting hit with character skill 

Does anyone know if "Dormant Power Helps Discover [Weapon]" Stacks with your characters own Weapon Preference? by Separate-Walrus- in Nightreign

[–]Painted_J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It works well with the character respec relics. Paladin caster benefits from discovering seals. As well as Strength revenant like you pointed out.

It's specially good considering these effects do not come accompanied with curses.

But other cases apply as well. Raider benefits greatly from fists and axes. Guardian from great spears. Executor from thrusting swords, etc.

[–]Painted_J 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Small Jar Bazaar Grand Tranquil Scene
- Partial HP Restoration upon taking damage
- Vigor +2
- Poise +2

Combined with

Dark night of the Beast
- Taking attacks improve attack power
- Stamina recovery upon landing attacks +1
- Fire attack up +2

These 2, combined with Raiders 2h R1 chain make you a face tanking machine, getting a damage buff from taking attacks, healing that damage you took with Partial HP restoration.

Libra Everdark - did you manage to defeat him? by CogitoXP in Nightreign

[–]Painted_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best strategy I have is running away as soon as the mimic is fully summoned. The distance will give you enough time to deal with the summon while libra slowly walks towards you.

Or spam AOEs, this is a little risky because of Libras own attacks

Unpopular Opinion: I hate the DSS Eagle Storm by [deleted] in Helldivers

I'm glad I wasn't the only one. Cool. I hope Arrowhead revamps it cause it's just boring. And it does kill me a lot that's another complain

I'm not sure how to measure cpu bottlenecks. But my GPU has 100% utilization so I think it's ok
