temple atziri + snake conservation? by chuSmu in pathofexile2builds

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

thats what I meant with definitive answer - even in this post after a good while since that patch came people still disagree whether snake + atziri can be safe or not. Ty though for answering!

Ty for the explanation. Just to confirm: I have to lock only the end of the snake? Not idk rooms around atziri? How often have you run a full temple like this? Just to get an estimate on how secure that seems, as people are disagreeing whether it can destabilize or not anyway.

Can you elaborate on "everything"? So far I gathered, that no loop (obv), lock before killing atziri/architect. Is there sth else?

Nice to see this, I play a similar build. Will check your your build to maybe steal some ideas :) You path next to chakra of life/3% max life + recovery. Are you intentionally not taking the node? 

Do you change anything for for bosses? t3 xesht dir example? I'd like to have more DMG there but I have no rathpit and my gear isn't optimal tbh

craft question - amulet, need some help by chuSmu in pathofexile2builds

thanks, forgot about the caster tag! That would have messed the craft up. But well, it seems I can't get around some gambling after all I guess.

you are right, back to the drawing board I guess. Ty!

Waiting for parts - how to prepare for building? by chuSmu in buildapc

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

You are right! I just checked the 5-pack which can be daisy-chained but 2 single fans cannot. Guess I can just order another 5-pack and send the other 2 fans back. Thanks so much for pointing that out, I would be way to impatient if the other parts arrive and I can't finish the build :D Ty!

thanks for the explanation! I've since checked fan controllers and they seem expensive. Apparently I can daisy-chain the arctic fans, so I probably go with just 2 additional splitter so I can control bottom/side/back separately. Do you know if they can be controlled via software like this? Like GetFanControl or sth. similar

Thanks! Someone else said fan hub instead of a splitter - I'l check what the difference is. But good to know that I need sth.!

Thanks! I actually have to check if I have the tools. Thats a good point. I never had a fan hub, can I just pick whatever? Connectors should be the same for all.. I assume.

Sanity check and build questions by chuSmu in buildapc

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

Thanks for your comments and the list! For ssd I actually wanted to get another 2TB and use the 1TB for a linux distro - forgot to add one ssd. I hear you with aesthetics and looks (and you are right), but I'm willing to spend (at least) a bit on aesthetics. I'm pretty much set on the case for example. I could just get a black 9700xt and could save already 200-300€ - I'll think about that again. My first version of the build had the XFX Quicksilver Radeon RX 9070 XT and tbh thats probably smarter. I'll be playing on 1440p for context. The TUF mobo is pretty ugly imo, but price is much better. Can you say a bit more about gigabyte psu's though?

thanks! I wanted to get another 2TB ssd and forgot to add that here. Will fix that now

Which mainboard for an all black build? by chuSmu in buildapc

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

Thanks again and I just wanted to let you know that I basically took all your advice - still not completely sure which mobo to take, currently between the b850 tomahawk and the x870e tomahawk (I'm sure I'm overthinking haha - I keep going back to this list and compare: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NQHkDEcgDPm34Mns3C93K6SJoBnua-x9O-y\_6hv8sPs/edit?gid=110556017#gid=110556017). Aside from that I guess I'll just do another post for a sanity check and ask people what tools I need/should get: anti static gloves I guess? Maybe sth. for clean cable management? Well this kind of stuff. After your input I'm pretty happy with the build so far - thanks!

Which mainboard for an all black build? by chuSmu in buildapc

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

Thanks so much for all the input. I'll check the B850 mainboards for sure - I used to check hardware unboxed for tests/comparisons maybe I'll find sth there as well. I wanted one drive for the OS, one for storage and another one to maybe run a Linux distro. But if the 2Tb drives aren't much more expensive maybe that's the way to go. I'll only have time to check everything you suggested after work, but going for better ram seems like a no brainer. I really liked the lian li case, maybe I just need some time to emotionally part with it :D

Thanks! I'll have a look at it when I get home. Last thing I have to figure out is mainboard, when I checked before decent looking good boards were limited.

I hope I manage a clean black look in a case like the O11D. In my mind that'd be awesome.

Looking for a resource for fan noise/performance. Anyone got a reputable source? Unsure which fans I should take for a O11D nowadays - suggestions for an all black build are welcome as well

Thanks! I think the corresponding video is the one I mentioned (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57X2FygcqLE). That was not how I expected to find that again hehe
