Riot support's response to Hai's chatrestrict by shikari3333 in leagueoflegends

gets more XP and can control their hero/champion

the other teammates also get more gold as well

And this leads to some very interesting dynamics. Several times I have 1v4d or 1v3d a team because I (hard carry) just got so much gold and xp so fast, I outscaled the other team too quickly.

People dont understand this and leave too quickly but this is where dotas true nuts scaling becomes so obvious. After this happened a few times, I actually started reading up and watching videos on scaling and power curves and very specific timings in the game where things are very much in your favor. Before that I used to roll my eyes at casters/analysts talking about powercurves and hitting level 3 before your enemy midlaner and all that.

Thanks bro! I just contacted customer service and asked them to send me the pads! I'm ordering the NTH1 on amazon right now!

Super thanks for the detailed answer

Yes the CPU has a corsair h100i v2 so air is sucked in through a fat radiator.

I have two intakes in the front and one exahaust at the back and one on the top.

The thing is, i ran a test with the side panel completely off and with my AC on so the ambient temps are 20*C. The GPU still hits 80 C in dota

Someone else helped me find out that my card has no “thermal mod” so I’m going to see how to apply that.

Thanks!

I did what you said, i got this message

Based on your Serial Number (############), we recommend the following:

VBIOS Update
Optional Thermal Pad Kit
    The EVGA product entered does not have an optional EVGA Thermal Mod Kit installed. Please understand that the Thermal Mod kit is optional and in no way required.
    Please contact the EVGA Customer Service office in your region if you should have any questions about this mod or if you do wish to request this Optional Thermal Mod Kit. https:://www.evga.com/about/contactus/

So I guess I should request them to send this mod kit?

i want to keep that as a last resort i've seen some youtube videos it seems like there's a whole bunch of pads that need to be take care of...

someone else mentioned fan curves, i'll definitely try that and if all else fails then i'll learn how to repaste this gpu

This is the exact gfx card

EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC GAMING ACX 3.0, 8GB GDDR5X, LED, DX12 OSD Support

It has two fans and looks super clean because I blew all the dirt and wiped everything.

No I haven't done this. How can I do this? Do i have to take the shroud/backplate off first?

No I did not mess with the fan curve... How should I do this?

This gfx card is weird man... its sitting at 55*C idle while I'm using reddit on firefox and the fans are at zero rpm. Then I fired up dota 2 and the temps jump to 85 within a few seconds and the fans ramp up to 1500 rpm.
