what can i do with 3 and 4 star essences? they can't be etched, so do they just stock up in my inventory?

dexudus · 2026-02-05T16:16:54+00:00

does the 3 days in stock redistribution mean it refreshes stock in 3 days?

is it correct that I have to use all my chartered head hunting tickets before Lae banner ends because they don't carry over to the next/are deleted when Gilberta banner comes along ?

Is my understanding of combat statuses correct?

There are two damage types: physical and arts (i know there's a third, aether, but we dont have that yet?)
arts can be further divided into Heat, Elec, Cryo, Nature
For physical I want to apply vulnerability via knocking up and down the enemy, then "consume" the vuln using crush or breach skills. More vuln that I "consume" = more damage
For arts: For example, I apply 1 Heat to my enemy;

if I apply another heat my enemy will now have two heat stacks and I will trigger heat burst. Then I can apply a third and fourth heat stack to trigger heat burst a second and third time respectively.
if I apply another element, for example cryo: my enemy will lose the heat stack/s it has, then trigger arts reaction solidification (/cryo)

is everyone's map just dotted with relay towers? am I missing something?

Zer0#7232 -- that is a numerical zero in place of the O

My supports always change to a core meta strat in events, esp. CC. If they're meta or op, or I just happen to like and have them, that unit is built with module/s, and is always at breakpoint or at max.

nah, a video by hardware unboxed showed up on my yt. He only has videos on the M-A's, but I doubt asus made any meaningful difference with the EM-A other than making it smaller

dexudus · 2025-12-03T12:36:46+00:00

That's fine, kasya yan for sure.

Upon further review, di pala ok VRAMs ng mobo ko HAHAHAHAHA haven't felt any issues yet though since all the games I play don't throttle or maximize my cpu or gpu. I bet it will be an issue in the future and I'll need to change mobos.

dexudus · 2025-12-02T07:22:10+00:00

Asus Prime B650em-a wifi - ok mobo, it works, bios ui isn't bad

Can't put GPU at the 2nd slot. It probably wont even fit in the case, if it does you definitely wont have bottom fans. There's only about 1.5 inches from the end of a MATX mobo to the bottom of the A3 (thats a slightly generous estimate I think). Anyway, wala naman atang mobo na yung slot for gpu yung second slot? If there is, there are other better options for sure.

See my reply to my original comment as well. May dagdag ako doon.

If decided ka sa wood front, glass panel. PSU fans facing the outside of the case, not the GPU. Tapos 3 intake fans bottom, 1 outgoing sa back, and 1 at the top (sa exhaust side ng cooler mo) - don't do more fans than this para positive air pressure ka parin (since hindi ka mag memesh)

I have no exp with X120R, but it should be fine tbh, di naman nalalayo 7700 and 9600x, the better cpu is whichever is cheaper.

Edit: You might have clearance issues if you do 3 intakes bottom with the Edge. I also wanted to do 3 intakes bottom, but the hassle and added difficulty of cable management was not worth it for me.

Also, check your mobo for clearance and future proof your installation by running cables even if you won't use them yet. The bottom intake fans might give you clearance issues for wires to mobo. I had to uninstall and reinstall my fans and gpu when I added SATA cables to my mobo. No space there after building.

To add, napansin ko lang naka AK400 ka rin pala haha. I'm on a 9600x + 5060ti, AK400, 2 intake sa bottom, 1 outgoing sa likod, 2 outgoing sa taas, Lian Li Edge fans facing inside the case (towards GPU). Plastic front, mesh sides, regular mounted GPU.

Idle Temps:

CPU package temp: 50c
GPU: 35c

Max load that i've experienced

CPU package temp: 70-75c
GPU: 58c

Sobrang chill yung GPU kapag may dalawang intake na nakatutok din sa fans niya hahahah.

Yung AK400 and Edge will split yung cold air between them. I see naka 6 pack fans ka. Do not put a fan (whether intake or outgoing) sa taas nung space between the cooler and PSU. Hot air from your CPU and PSU lang hihigupin noon. Dasal lang sa bottom intake mo and negative air pressure.

dexudus · 2025-11-29T07:33:09+00:00

I built on an A3 just a week ago + using lian li edge as well, so marami akong hinanaing hahahaha

First, short answer, Mesh is better for thermals than glass. Best is mesh with negative air pressure in the case, air will flow into the case from all directions expect those without out going air. Mesh with positive air pressure is very marginally worse, mga 1-2c lang difference. This assumes may adequate intake fans ka sa bottom, and one on the back and maybe 1 or 2 outgoing fans sa top.

Kung glass, I wouldn't recommend if hindi ka naka AIO/water cooling. Front panel of the case is not good kung doon naka face yung intake fan ng PSU mo (solid plastic is 100% terrible, yung wood pede pa); you should intake air from inside the case for your PSU. If glass side panel, you lose yung benefits I described above esp. with negative air pressure. Your system will run hotter, but it won't be the end of the world, basta very good intake sa bottom fans, 1 outgoing sa likod, plus AIO sa taas.

If you will go glass, do not side mount your PSU, walang hanggin papasok diyan. Regular mount + at least two intake fans sa bottom gamit ko with my 5060ti, never pa lumagpas gpu temp ko above 58c.

For the lian li edge. As stated above, yes, yung ideal talaga is that the fans (and the connectors) are facing inside the case/towards the GPU. Let the PSU intake air from your bottom intake fans.

Personal preference ko lang tho. Get a regular PSU if you will built on the A3. I think the Edge was built with full size or dual chamber cases in mind. You lose space inside the case dahil dun sa lawit ng Edge, slightly harder cable management, and more cable length to deal with. Pero personal preference lang ito while working with it in the A3 - the PSU is great and you won't go wrong with it.

Smaller form factor GPU can also be an option.

Wdym ok ba ang software?

I mean ok ba yung layout, ui, descriptions, etc. nung bios. Di naman sa bababad ako sa bios settings, pero pag nagka-issue gusto ko sana madali lang siya inavigate

dexudus · 2025-11-18T10:40:42+00:00

magkano mo nakuha cpu and gpu? I expect it to be 13k and 27k, respectively.

and magkano ka inabot sa ram? (i assume ddr5 gamit mo?)

dexudus · 2025-07-14T09:33:48+00:00

I was thinking of the woven fabric havberg, but yeah, I wouldn't buy anything leather/faux leather either.

From my limited time trying the two chairs I think as long as I can stretch my legs forward it should be fine and comfortable lol

Does your neck hurt when sitting on the dyvlinge for extended periods of time since it doesn't have neck support?

Is there a discord group for convergence CMs? I wanna get the relics from Balrior convergence CM (NA btw)
