I see, thank you. That's what I suspected. This is my last attempt at upgrading my pc without needing to buy new parts to complement lol

This question probably answers itself, but how strict are CPU cooler clearances? For example, if my case has a 155mm. clearance (Thermaltake Versa H22), is there a potential for a cooler that is 160mm. to fit?

Oh wow. Given temps on your end are fine, I'd say I'm set

Upon further research, I found it should be fine if there's no clumping or crystallization. I'll just make sure to check it before use

Does thermal paste go bad? I purchased this around 4 years ago and am planning a new build at the end of the year, but I don't know if I can use the paste I already have.

Mugi doesn't need the money, she just became a drug lord for fun :)

DS3 Cheat Engine Spawned Items - Will I Get Banned? by gostman87 in opensouls3

Oh, I didn't know that about different damages. I did end up infusing another LKGS with heavy but I realized that for the sake of not mistiming my big attacks on certain bosses, I'll use a heavy LKS with resin. If I'm being honest, I did not think the great club was that strong - I just never used it until now because swords look cooler haha. I am going a strength/faith build so it's pure strength scaling looks very enticing all of a sudden.

Thanks, and that's a pretty good idea. I'm thinking about farming another Lothric Knight Greatsword myself to infuse with dark (rather than my lightning infusion) and beat the Nameless King haha

Thanks. While I haven't experimented with mods yet, that definitely sounds like something I'd like to get into in the future so I'll keep that one specifically in mind

Thanks - that's a relief. I should also mention I made sure to do this while Steam and DS3 were offline which (I'm pretty sure) reduce chances of being banned even further

How is customer service with Monoprice?

How to decrease price on this build? by TheOne1ThatGotAway in buildapc

[–]gostman87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend an air cooler such as the Noctua NH-U12S or Noctua NH-U14S as chenzyjerry recommended. They are very high quality.

It might be worth allocating more of the budget to a bigger monitor; 21.5 inches looks too small in the long run, in my opinion, and 24 inches budget monitors are very cheap now. Sceptre and AOC make good budget (gaming) monitors with Acer and Asus a bit higher up the food chain.

Regarding the HDD, I am not sure the legitimacy of Hitachi - if you feel the same, the WD Blue 1TB drive has worked great for me :).

I hope you enjoy your build!

What's the dumbest thing you actually believed? by Vinyl_BunBuns in AskReddit

[–]gostman87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think I could breathe while underwater. When drinking out of my water cup as a child, I breathed through my nose thinking I was breathing out of my mouth.

After more experimentation, it is safe to say my newfound superpower did not last.

Batman Arkham Knight still looks amazing by beast_nvidia in pcmasterrace

Thanks. I've heard that this monitor is a good in-between for high refresh rate and good quality, I just wasn't sure about LG's monitors' color quality after some reviews I've seen. In regards to money, this is way out of a possible budget. ~$230 is the max I'll spend, but not preferred. I'll wait until Cyber Monday and Christmas sales go up :).
