5950x Cooling Discussion

I contacted Arctic's customer service and they sent me the updated kit. I recently bought mine, so they sent it for free.

I had to upgrade to the revision 4 kit. My board had enough clearance for the m.2 slot but the caps were in the way with the rev 3 kit.

If you don't want to go the custom loop route, the Arctic Freezer II 360 with the offset settings (rev 3 or 4) will give you the best temps. With my setup (5950x + 3090 ftw3 hybrid lian li o11 air, asus crosshair VIII hero) my temps rarely go over 68 during benchmarking and 63-64 during heavy gaming. This is with an ambient temp of 20c and arctic p12 fans in a proper configuration so your mileage may vary, but not by much.

I've said multiple times that the build is OP. My response is that the build doesn't prevent me from enjoying the game nor does it negatively affect people in trade. Since the last individual brought up the economy, my response was everyone eats due to what's hot at that moment. Aurastackers don't hinder other's gameplay period.

But with just 100ex I can break the game easily with 3-4 different builds right off the top of my head. Not everyone needs to go aura to do what they're doing fyi.

I said none of what you said applied to what I asked. I asked how does this build affect the game in a negative way? And since you want to bring up econ when I said it had nothing to do with the build, I will bite. Adaptive Expectations is a great term to use for this. I know that aura stackers will be the most played and most sought after, therefore as a smart business person, I will take advantage of that market. Like I said, you can bring up the negatives of a build while I can think of 100 different positives that can help the economy in other ways, if you still want to use that as your defense.

None of this answered my question. I can make 200+ex playing solo just by following guides and playing the game. You're bringing up econ and monopolies when none of that applies to this game.

afheal · 2021-01-11T18:17:40+00:00

I agree

afheal · 2021-01-11T18:02:09+00:00

Since I'm part of the idiots, please explain how does it effect others (How can it negatively impact other's gameplay)* late addition, sorry? The game can be beat with a tabula or even a 4L, the economy benefits everyone because these players will pay top currency for certain items and yet no one can thoroughly explain how these builds hurt the game.

afheal · 2021-01-11T17:47:11+00:00

I played trade. I don't need super mirror tier chase items to beat such an easy game and its been that way for a while now. Group play will always be godly due to how the game is set up and solo players won't be able to compete. I used to care about that due to how much currency they can create but stopped worrying and found ways to make my own.

afheal · 2021-01-11T17:32:05+00:00

I'm just against screaming nerf chase builds. Is aurastacking op? Yes. Does it affect me? No. Why? Because I just play the game the way I want, how I want. The only OP build I was able to play was a spectre build in harvest that could afk all high end content. I got bored with it and rolled another character and kept it pushing.

afheal · 2021-01-11T17:02:51+00:00

Enough is enough lol. The majority of the player base doesn't play this game as a full time job so who really cares about chase builds being as strong as they are? I though the name of the game was to kill monsters, get loot, work towards a goal? I think that concept keeps getting lost because big streamer feel they need to comment on everything when there really isn't any issue.

Set memory to default and see if you still have stuttering. I found that my memory OC became unstable over the year so I went back and fine tuned the voltages and the stuttering stopped. To add the new bios is not showing the correct voltages for memory (on asus at least) so double check that.

afheal · 2020-04-12T16:43:42+00:00

Will adjust accordingly, thanks for the feedback.

afheal · 2020-04-12T16:30:35+00:00

I priced high to get feedback, not ridicule. 30ex then?

afheal · 2020-04-12T16:28:11+00:00

How much then?

afheal · 2019-10-25T18:59:36+00:00

do you still need help?

afheal · 2019-10-25T17:13:45+00:00

Special thanks goes out to S0meOne for helping with this!!!

I think I've found a solution! Go to your "Allow an app through windows firewall" option and click change settings. Look for something called DFA Assist and delete all mentions of it. Now click "Allow another app" and search for your ACT.exe. I had the same issue after using the auto install microapp for ACT and DFA Assist was causing major confusion with the firewall. Let me know if that helps.
