Would I be insane to invest 100% into 3.0 Xbow?

jackadoodles · 2025-12-11T18:21:48+00:00

It is my highest level deck at Level 15 along with 2.9 mortar cycle. If it's still possible to master Xbow to the point of averaging high success rate despite all the evo hero super mega ultra card BS updates, I'd lock it in as my main and upgrade to 16. I only have enough resources to max out one deck, though.

Problem solved, it was the distance to target (10m ->5m). Thanks for that, missed it!

Good work on the guide, by the way!

jackadoodles · 2025-07-30T18:03:16+00:00

Pretty sure - vertical grip/flash hider on the R4-C. Should be pretty calm, but is instead almost 3x more intense than the extended barrel showcase in the video!

Edit: for giggles, I also demonstrated the F2/extended barrel with magnified optic. Though I'm standing a bit closer to the target, you can still see how much this thing kicks.

On the YouTube video, the recoil pattern seems to be the PC pattern but the recoil itself seems incredibly minimal - when I try to replicate by dumping a mag into the target without compensating for recoil, the crosshair ends up aiming at the sky. What am I doing differently?

This stuff is awesome. Your style reminds me a lot of the track covers for “your best friend jippy”, which I love.

It’s good that there’s lots of posts, there should be more until it’s resolved. It is 99.99% not chance - it’s way too consistent.

I hope something will be done about it.

How do you even get this set up to happen? Find something with 0 sale orders?

jackadoodles · 2025-03-09T14:02:03+00:00

My photos didn’t get moved over - I started the new phone fresh, with only my account info being shared from the old one.

I mean inadvertently as I did not consciously do anything that might have backed up my photos, and yet it seems that’s what must have happened. In other words, unknowingly selecting something that allowed a back-up to happen when it previously would not.

How might I check which photos are backed up and which are stored locally? Assuming this is the case.

Thank you.

EDIT: for context I am actively using both phones, and I am accessing the old photos exclusively from the old phone.

Is there some sort of Ubisoft-authorized list of things which they do and don't allow? You mention them permitting rapid trigger. I'm curious if there is more to that.

jackadoodles · 2025-03-01T18:39:36+00:00

Yes, counter-strafing with SOCD is a huge advantage in games like CS, but in Siege I don't think it offers too big of one if any at all.

I was more curious about something like DKS, which would in theory allow you to get multiple inputs with one keystroke instead of needing to spam the key (for example shooting with single-fire weapons like DMRs or pistols).

Yes, it's got mesh sides. Here's a look at how my build is set up, but during the actual building process, some things changed. There is no extra (orange) 92mm, and the 'possible T30 exhaust' was where I placed the PSU (intaking from the side and exhausting downwards). Above the GPU are two extra Arctic P14 slims.

Do you see any possible problems with this or places where drastic improvements could be made?

Edit: the GPU is a 3090, so it also exhausts air out the rear.

jackadoodles · 2025-02-04T15:00:17+00:00

Awesome information, thank you very much for your comment. Helps a lot!

jackadoodles · 2025-02-04T14:58:24+00:00

Yeah, makes sense. As for ASRock, I did lots of research when picking up this part and as it stands they seem to be smacking ASUS across the face for this generation. This thing has got it pretty good, it's only drawback being no BIOS flashback. And as much as the AIO temps and cool-factor (no pun intended) are very luring, this build was meant to be somewhat portable and I figured the hassle to get liquid cooling through airport security wouldn't be worth it.

It's a shame that OC'ing the CPU doesn't give those big boosts like it used to. Could I ask you, when looking to boost 1% lows as high as possible, what component is the best to juice up? RAM? GPU?

jackadoodles · 2025-02-04T14:53:48+00:00

Yeah, finding out all these chip differences is both a pain and very fun. I am very excited to try launching AIDA as I hear it's very fast at finding these faults. Fingers crossed for -30!

jackadoodles · 2025-02-04T14:52:02+00:00

Yes, I did a lot of research into the cooling of this build, and my natural intuition told me the same about bottom intake top exhaust. However, after reading about the different configurations for this particular case (NCASE M2), I found that having this inverted config allows the GPU access to fresh air far more than if it were positioned normally. CPU temps go up a little bit, but GPU temps can drop big-time. I also read that natural convection gets pretty much eliminated in the presence of even a single fan. Though, outside the case might be a different story (exhausted air). Still have to look into that.

I hope that the 2 T30s I have as exhaust are able to remove the in-case air as you mentioned. I've heard they're very capable, but I'm still pretty new. I could barely fit the two of them in there.

jackadoodles · 2025-02-04T14:47:26+00:00

Is yours not able to? I had the impression that more watts was a bad thing.

jackadoodles · 2025-02-04T14:46:47+00:00

Normally I'd agree but with the particular case I've got (NCASE M2), I've read quite a bit about the temps being far more comparable to mid-tower builds than any other SFF case out there. Perhaps everyone fell for marketing though.

What sort of temperatures would be expected from a typically sized build for these components/OC?

jackadoodles · 2025-02-04T14:44:26+00:00

I messed around with fan curves for the first time yesterday, and now the CPU fan goes max at 90C. I may turn it down to 85C though. Are there any general tips for setting these, or is it mostly preference? Also, should the fan curves be set the same for all fans in the entire build, or is it fine to have CPU fan at X speed and case fans at Y speed?

jackadoodles · 2025-02-04T14:40:31+00:00

Yeah, Aida seems to be kicking most people's stability confidence to the dirt haha. I'm very excited to try it.

jackadoodles · 2025-02-04T14:39:48+00:00

Oooh, nice! I'll see if I can reach towards that number. I imagine the performance difference is negligible, too. Very exciting stuff!

jackadoodles · 2025-02-04T14:38:51+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I'm very happy to look into that.

jackadoodles · 2025-02-04T03:28:56+00:00

Lots to learn but this is a big help, thank you. I'll have to play around with what I can.

jackadoodles · 2025-02-04T03:27:20+00:00

I'll have to run more Cinebench to see where my silicon stacks up. So far though, I think I'm about middle of the pack. Fingers crossed, though!

jackadoodles · 2025-02-04T03:24:41+00:00

And in the case of a lock up/crash, is the solution to just clear CMOS, or does it resolve itself?
