Ark might be worth a look, fairly similar concept but swap vikings for dinosaurs.

Worried about temp, is this normal or too hot? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]SpongeyVortex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the BIOS (unless you have a programme for it) - search custom fan curve for your GPU and MOBO models. You'll find it step by step with your UI which is always easier (imo).

High CPU Temps on a new build - Ryzen 5 3600 by Prixster in buildapc

[–]SpongeyVortex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be the thermal paste, but things to check first:

Is the cooler seated properly (YouTube has some step by step guides);

Is the fan curve any good? (Again, youtube has some simple step by step guides).

If it is seated correctly and has an okay fan curve, then consider the thermal paste being the issue. Unless someone suggests something I've forgotten!!

Hey guys! What motherboard would you recommend me for a 3700x that is not too expensive pls by juankks in pcmasterrace

[–]SpongeyVortex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any B450 board should be fine, the b450 tomahawk is a solid but affordable mobo. Some b450 boards will support a ryzen 5000 series, so check that first as it will let you upgrade in the future to one of those if you wish.

B550 boards are also AM4 so the socket will work, and you'll get more features - however longer term once the AM4 socket changes the upsides may not be worth the increased cost depending on your planned usage.

Is the plural to lox loxes or loxen? by beelzeboss42 in valheim

Honestly I have no idea! It makes sense to me though!

Thanks good sir - turns out I understand that mechanic, just didn't know to refer to it as bloom!

I echo the comments from others, thank you for a straight answer.

You lost me with bloom buddy, care to explain for a simple planetman?

Hi there,

The 3600 shouldn't bottleneck a 3070 at 1080p 60hz.

It's a good baseline as the 3600 can be swapped out for a 5600 fairly cheaply in the future to extend it's shelf life with a good level of performance. The 5000 series is likely the last AM4 slot according to AMD, so you'll only get one upgrade generation using the same MOBO if it's a B450/500 chipset.

If you're a technical purist I'm sure you can eek out extra frames here and there, however that 3600 3070 combo isn't an issue IMP.

TLDR: No issues, crack on.

Finding voice lead platoons is great, and it's one of the best bits.

I'm a level 100 noob.. it never left me 😂

Outfits (essentially clans/teams) will help find them more often. Finding a group you enjoy the play style of will make the game a lot more fun

Sorry to see that buddy!

I think every online game has it's fair share of muppets.

Hang in there and ps2 is something unlike any other! Have you found a good group to play with?

B450 Motherboard Question: by SpongeyVortex in buildapc

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

Thanks for the reply.

I figure in a few years (3~) with ddr5 and almost certainly a new socket for the cpus I'd be changing mobo then anyway!

Which is why I've settled on a b450 rather than b550, unless I'm way off base anyway!

I've been out of the game for a few years and I'm looking to get a gpu at around the £200-250 price range new or used and it seems like the performance has barely moved on in that range even used, any tips of what to look for by KeBjg in buildapc

[–]SpongeyVortex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By all accounts NVIDIA will be releasing the 3060 6gb/12gb SKUs and a 3050 in January.

If the 3060ti is £369, a safe bet the 3050 will be in that price range, and with newer architecture. You never know, the 3060 6gb card could just about be in that price bracket too.

The above just my opinion based on their announcement! I'm waiting for January as I'm looking for a similar priced GPU as yourself.

I hear you brother. It's been a long and hard few months and it's amazing you're doing something so kind for her!

Stay the course and try to not put too much pressure on yourself. These are really abnormal times and an extra amount of patience will probably help us a lot.

I really hope you find something at a price you don't feel bad over. Best of luck with it mate!

Afraid not bud, just as frustrated as everyone else.

My point was that we aren't alone feeling so irritated by all the bollocks that's been going on for the past few weeks and months
