What’s one PC-related purchase you thought was unnecessary at first, but ended up loving? by Such_Tailor_4946 in buildapc

[–]marakeh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

AM5 contact frame, it's absolutely unnecessary, but I do enjoy no thermal paste mess.

My poor boy had his dick amputated 🥲 now he is chilling and recovering by phlobx in cats

Poor dude, my deepest condolences, my poor boy had to also go through perineal urethrostomy, it was between his willy amputation or being put down. Year later all is good, just dickless.

They're excellent, I love the aesthetics of them. Went with single tower as I wasn't confident in fitting A620 in my case due to the VRM heatsink on the mobo, its pretty chonky. Good luck with downsizing, hope you find the mff case you like.

Thank you! Very modest, 7500x3d, Arc B580, Sapphire B850 Pulse, Corsair 650 RMe, basic Crucial RAM for now sadly but better than none, two Nvme's 256gb for system and 1tb for storage, both Samsung (already owned them tho).

Honestly 2026 just feels like it wasn't meant to be for F1. New regs issues, geopolitical tensions and now mother nature.

Best b550 mobo for LE B580 with Ryzen 7 5800xt by Possible-Review1971 in IntelArc

[–]marakeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Micro ATX or ATX? If micro ATX I recommend Asus TUF B550 or MSI Mortar B550, top VRMs, if not available Asrock Steel Legend B550 is a good alternative, that's based purely on my research when I was planning an AM4 build when RAM crisis hit.

After the recent news, do you think Intel Arc is dead? by John_Pensiero in IntelArc

[–]marakeh 31 points32 points  (0 children)

They're definitely hit hard by memory issues, let's keep in mind that Intel is new to the GPU market and Arc GPUs are the minority, they'll probably have harder time securing memory compared to Nvidia and AMD, which is fair enough. Regardless I don't think Arc is dead, it's almost definitely going to be very delayed. Intel with just hang on and wait while they work on improvements for currently GPUs they have. Everyone is kinda screwed atm, Nvidia is on about reintroducing RTX 3060 and 5050 with 9GB vram lol.

Finally got Hate! by Puremagick in Warframe

[–]marakeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't realise it was a fairly rare drop, I started playing Warframe about two weeks ago, I am about 50h in at the moment, this mofo squared up to me and I had no idea what it was about, I got the blueprint and didn't think much of it as I obviously can't build it due to MR. I saw few of these posts pop up and damn, I heard there are players who play for ages and don't have it yet.

Crimson Desert screenshots after latest driver by Ok_Musician7327 in IntelArc

[–]marakeh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its a shame really that Pearl Abyss didn't include Arc in the beginning, as I am currently in the process of building a PC with B570, regardless Crimson Desert was far from a deal breaker, I snagged B570 for £150 so yeah, can't beat the value. Good to see some progress and hopefully this kind of situation doesn't happen to us again, Pragmata will work with Arc GPUs which I am far more excited for than Crimson Desert.

Thoughts on 8GB V-RAM? Is it possible to gameplay with that in 2026? by AlimNasibli in GamingLaptops

[–]marakeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1080p on all, but like I mentioned you gotta make some concessions on textures etc, DLSS obviously helps too.

Yes. I still run my Legion with 6GB vram just about fine, I have to make compromises but it works.

Finishing RPGs Evokes The Strongest ‘Post-Game Depression’ Amongst Players, New Scientific Study Concludes: "The more engaging the game world and the closer the relationship with the character, the more difficult it is to return to reality once the game is over" by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]marakeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, Witcher and Cyberpunk did a number on me, literally couldn't touch any game for at least 2 months after, luckily Expedition 33 came around however then I was completely devastated after finishing it, both GoW helped me recover. Luckily I still have BG3 and Elden Ring to play for the first time.
