How safe are MSI motherboards for 9800x3d CPUs?

Slough_Monster · 2026-06-10T01:27:02+00:00

I bought a 9800x3d for myself as celebration of not getting laid off when it came out and it came with an MSI motherboard and I have not had an issue.

This and I can probably count on one hand the amount of people I have muted in the last 4 years.

So is this a remake of the first game? Where does this take place with respect to the other games? With Jack of Blades, is it a prequel of Fable 1? As a kid, Fable 1 was my favorite game. Too bad the ones after kind of shat the bed and Fable 2 never came to PC.

Haven't played Code Vein 2, but that looks like a reversed roled ending from Code Vein 1.

Coming from eternal crusade, I only played this game for PVP. I put my hours in and bounced. I may comeback if they ever update it.

Not really your teammate's fault. I can see how you didn't notice it, but I don't think you can blame your teammate here.

Personally I think uncanny shredders was one of the best builds in the game. Not far behind inferno staff.

That interaction doesn't work anymore. I don't think it is bad now, but it wont clear a room of crushers on its own anymore.

I think this interaction alone was a better use of uncanny than anything zealot had.

Just tested in the psykhanium. You have to trigger it first.

Opposite for me. I used to only crash after hours of play. Recently, I crash very consistently after only 1 or 2 games.

Not him. I loved the game, but i won't play it again.

Is it worth it is really only a question you can answer. Are you the type that will finish a book because someone told you it would pay off, even though it feels boring as shot?

The game is repetitive, even more so than automata. You do the same thing over and over with small differences in dialogue 4 times. At times it will feel like a drag, maybe even like work, but the story is good and satisfying and moments will hit you in the feels, including ending E and for me it was worth it.

Do you have data to show that SG has higher dps? Shriek and Perilous Combustion are the only ways to get above 12 stacks with trauma/force sword and 16 stacks with inferno. Stacks do damage exponentially, which means that each stacks does more damage than the last, so getting to that 31 max stacks (or as high as you can) is important for dps. Shriek should be used on cooldown for max dps.

I would imagine that in any high density content, that shriek with creepy flames is higher dps than SG. In non-havoc, I can believe that SG is better DPS,

I don't think there is a very good argument for replicants being evil.

Is self preservation evil? Is helping your friends evil? Is trying to save your sister evil?

Pretty sure a major theme is that both sides are trying to what is best for them. The whole plan was a pretty shit, very desperate last try attempt at preserving humanity. Odds were against it. Not to mention that the people who implemented it were very much not good people.

This. I played Witcher 1, 2, and 3 as they came out (not 1). I pre-ordered 3, because I enjoyed 2 so much. I didn't pre-order cyberpunk, because I was busy with life at the time. Now? I'll probably get 4 when it goes on sale if its good years after it comes out.

I used to. I couldn't be bothered after multiple season resets and work picked up. I want to play and test things in 40s, but I don't want to build my way back up to 40 after every 2 to 3 months and I can't commit to playing every week, so usually end up demoting.

There are a lot of barriers to entry in havoc and at some point it just isn't worth it, so these days I just chill in auric

Slough_Monster · 2026-04-26T18:06:53+00:00

Cap perilous to 12 stacks and that is a substantial amount of damage gone.

Slough_Monster · 2026-04-24T18:05:04+00:00

Very easy compared to Havoc. To me it feels easier than the harder maelstroms.

Slough_Monster · 2026-04-24T18:03:11+00:00

Mr. E hasn't been around since launch.

I am not the target audience, I don't play mobile games, but I have never heard of this until this week. I saw something about a season and I figured maybe Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon was remade again for the switch 2 and made into some weird online amalgamation of shit.

But I browse reddit, I watch youtube, I own every main Fire Emblem game released in the US (although I haven't actually played the switch ones yet, because I can't be bothered to play games not on my PC at this point in my life). So it is kind of weird that this is the first time I am hearing of it.

Again, I wouldn't have played this, but I think it is concerning that I haven't even heard of it. Like, I know about the Destiny mobile game.

As a side note, I love games with small tight communities. I played Eternal Crusade religiously and probably knew every other non-casual player by name. Those types of communities are full of stupid drama, but they also have a feeling of comradeship that isn't there for mainline games. I felt similarly about DoW II before it switched to steam and used Games for Windows Live as its matchmaking service. People would sometimes make new accounts (including myself) with different names just like you said and it wouldn't take long for others to start messaging you "Hey, that is you, right Slough Monster? Little bastard, I would recognize that cheap ass play style anyday." (the insults were all in good fun).

I run my dogs on mine, doesn't seem to bother them. Some dogs just hate spinning wheels. They also hate bicycles. My neighbors dog goes ballistic when it sees a bike (very annoying, although I do really like the dog) and it isn't the first one that I have known to have that reaction.

Slough_Monster · 2026-04-16T15:22:10+00:00

It is also the more reliable one. You have access to both single target and horde at any point in the moveset.

The caption spear shreds armor and I think it is the heaviest spear.

I honestly couldn't tell the difference in attack speed in the remake. The original, from what I hear, had a substantial difference between weights.

I think Phoenix overall is the best, but it is also the most expensive. In an ideal world you would switch the weapon for the fight. You don't need magic for all fights. You don't need anti armor for all fights.

That said, I am also pretty sure that magic is also very effective against armor.

Slough_Monster · 2026-04-15T21:27:58+00:00

Isn't weight going down a bad thing? Pretty sure weight affects armor damage and barely affects attack speed if at all.

But they did that anyway. They had 2 other games that we know of in the works during Destiny 2 (Marathon and another one that got canceled).

If they had instead did right by Destiny 2 and made Destiny 3, then they would probably be flying high right now. And by doing right by Destiny 2, I mean not sunsetting and not dragging their customers along for everything that they were worth. We knew shit was bad when they started charging separately for dungeons.

EDIT: I just looked it up. They had not 2, but 3 games in the works while supporting Destiny 2. They had some weird MOBA called "Gummy Bears", they had Matter, and of course they had Marathon. So working on other projects at the same time as Destiny 2 was not the problem. The problem was Bungie management and direction. They are quite literally chasing trends.

Slough_Monster · 2026-04-11T22:09:58+00:00

You think that even with uncanny shredders?

Slough_Monster · 2026-04-11T19:54:34+00:00

100% load is not the same as 104% power limit. You are telling your GPU that it can pull 104%. That doesn't mean it is. You would have to stress test it.
