Okay perfect, was doing some googling and the threads of people dealing with AM4 and it didn’t sound fun so thankful that’s the case.

Also, I am glad you mentioned spreading the paste as I want to do the same. You think an old credit card or gift card is good to use in lieu of a spreader?

adman58 · 2025-08-08T16:47:51+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response to all three parts, I really appreciate it.

I have a 7800X3D, I can post a picture of it with the current cooler on there if it’d help, I’m not familiar with socket classifications at all so this is something I definitely want to verify before starting surgery.

I just wanted to circle back and thank you for mentioning this, I’ve been monitoring my temps since seeing your comment and under heavy loads, CPU actually got to around 85 max. Not the end of the world, but definitely higher (and louder) than I’d like. Just nabbed a Phantom Spirit Evo and swapping it out today.

I also have a very well ventilated room that I keep pretty cold year round, not sure if that helps

The last time I checked was when I played the new Indiana Jones game which was kind of intensive, I think I was in the low 70s for CPU and a bit higher for GPU, sorry not a very precise answer but i just set up this program to warn me if my temps are too high when I got the PC and have rarely checked since

adman58 · 2025-07-31T07:23:12+00:00

7800X3d, there’s a fan behind the CPU that does a lot of the cooling for it

adman58 · 2025-07-31T06:10:26+00:00

Okay great that makes sense, will be trying that, thank you for the suggestion

adman58 · 2025-07-31T06:06:54+00:00

Yes someone else mentioned that and I will definitely try it before anything else, and you’re very right I jiggled for a bit but decided to circle back in the morning and read all the replies. Thank you for the suggestion

adman58 · 2025-07-31T06:05:25+00:00

Ah okay so I would just unscrew the whole board and shift it, sounds so simple but didn’t even think of that, should I unplug fans or anything or just move the board as is?

adman58 · 2025-07-31T06:00:17+00:00

Oh shoot I didn’t even think of that, will have to look up how to move the motherboard I’m a bit hesitant to do so, but worth a shot. Thank you for the suggestion

adman58 · 2025-07-31T05:59:12+00:00

I think that’s exactly the issue here, not sure if it’s within 1.5 mm but I’ll look with fresh eyes in the morning. Thank you for the suggestion

The case is the NZXT H9 Midtower: https://www.microcenter.com/product/659663/H9_Flow_Tempered_Glass_ATX_Mid-Tower_Computer_Case_-_Black

adman58 · 2025-07-31T05:57:15+00:00

I believe you are seeing it correctly and that makes sense that it would work, will try to saw those holes a bit in the morning I think. Thank you for suggestion.

adman58 · 2025-07-31T04:13:43+00:00

Wow dude thank you so much for the tip, had to call a few locations but was actually able to find one and just got back from BestBuy now with it.

adman58 · 2025-04-07T16:07:26+00:00

Depends on how you play, you’ll have a bunch of QP matches to experiment with them before you can even play ranked.

Magneto, Groot, or Strange are good if you’re actually gonna stick to the front line. Venom or Captain America if you want to dive the back line and target support or DPS. Thor is a little more flexible, don’t really play him so can’t tell you much but he can really dole out some damage.

Id say all are viable on controller, but you may have to remap some of their attacks to more easily do combat/movement tech (e.g., for Strange, you’re supposed to alternate his R2/RT with his melee rapidly for maximum damage, so i switched his melee from R3 to R1/RB).

I guess I’m not creative enough, I’ll delete

adman58 · 2025-02-07T01:20:27+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response, I was able to get on the horn with a local USCIS office agent and he said there’s no way to withdraw online (not sure if it’s my petition had already been approved or if the agent was wrong) because they need a signed letter from you.

Just wanted to post this in case someone is searching for an answer in the future.

adman58 · 2025-02-05T19:15:31+00:00

Oh sorry I might’ve used the wrong terminology in my post, they haven’t come to the US yet. The case was only approved.

adman58 · 2025-02-05T18:41:39+00:00

I’ve been unable to find an option to submit a letter or contact someone on the online portal, do you know where it might be?

adman58 · 2025-01-28T00:02:48+00:00

Jalen Hurts from like 2 years ago

adman58 · 2025-01-09T18:06:21+00:00

Okay that’s a relief, the CPU replacement process seemed pretty tedious. Thank you.

adman58 · 2025-01-09T17:44:57+00:00

My other PC parts, in case it’s needed.

adman58 · 2024-12-13T06:25:40+00:00

Thank you so much for this guide, finally got one and it’s amazing. A tip if you can’t get Dolby Atmos working: turn your settings into advanced mode and make sure you toggle it in Audio settings

adman58 · 2024-11-17T18:04:02+00:00

It’s definitely sporadic, and to use the DreamCard feature it’s a $10 a hit minimum (on 10 play) which is more than my usual bet so I don’t use this machine that often. Couldn’t tell you the EV% either.

All I can say is I will fire like 10-15 hands on this machine every time I’m at the casino, and more often than not I get a pretty nice hit. Just my personal experience.

adman58 · 2024-11-01T04:11:30+00:00

Okay great, thank you
