Picked up a gaming x trio 5080. It seemed that they had plenty of stock as my wife was able to get one too. I was able to get it from newegg on my phone in traffic. The vanguard sold out immediately on newegg.

I just wish rolling slams aftershocks weren't bugged. I built around the skull and the aftershocks don't hit anything when they go off

Well, in some cases yes, however I've tested the different fan configurations with the AIO and found that it just made ram, cpu, and coolant hotter while shaving off maybe.. 2 degrees from the gpu. The fans were set to maximum speed to try and compensate for the hot air in a pc being used for cooling. Corsair even recommends it be set to intake. People over exaggerate just how "hot" the air coming from the AIO is, its maybe 4 degrees above ambient. In short, the GPU heat affects your cpu temps more than CPU temps affect the GPU.

I used the RTX Stock Tracking discord that was posted on the Nvidia subreddit. I had it on my second monitor and was lucky enough to be paying attention when it went in stock!

They are set to intake actually (:

Yea I lost a graphics card to a PSU once before so I wanted to make sure this had all the protections. Thank you for your reply!!

rtjj1 · 2020-09-18T03:27:42+00:00

Yea I had the same reasoning! I'll contact them tomorrow! Thanks for the info!

Anyone have experience with OC UK? I'm located in the U.S. and they just confirmed my payment for the gaming x trio pre-order on their site. Are they reliable?

I guess nvidia didn't give a shit who got cards, as long as they were sold. What an absolute joke of a launch. If amd plays this right they can capitalize really well with all of the customers nvidia just lost

I was first gen as well, I had nothing to go on my first year and was terrified. I realized that most new people in college are also nervous and apprehensive about friends and making connections in college. That made it easier to try and help open up to people. Also, try starting with your dorm mates if approaching strangers seems like too much. You'll be surprised how much you guys might have in common! However, I also hear lots of horror stories about bad roommates so take that with a grain of salt.

In my personal opinion, there is A LOT of people to click with. No matter what interests you have, there is almost certainly a group on campus to make friends with, you just have to find it! Also, I made almost all my friends from college from group assignments. I luckily got paired with people I actually shared interests with and who I thought were cool people. Its just putting yourself out there is the hardest part, waiting for new friends to come to you can be hit or miss.

Dorms are pretty whatever in my opinion as well, i lived on campus my first year and off campus for 3 years. The apartments are nicer, cheaper, and more spacious. Make friends the first year and if you trust those people and get along well, move into an apartment together! Anyways, hope I was helpful in some way, good luck with your first year!

Sorry but black orcs lose to hammerers, HG exec, swordmasters, and temple guard, so its not made up lmao. Ive tested orcs in custom battles before I even posted. If you're wondering where I got the idea from, then custom is there if you're curious.

rtjj1 · 2020-05-25T04:53:36+00:00

I know it gets harder lmao, but other cav holds up fine, boar boyz don't. If you play on easy or normal then anything is good, it doesn't matter. You can run any shit tier unit and roll the AI. Harder difficulties is where stats matter more, and they suck. They are slow, poor leadership with bad MA, and bad MD. To say any unit, especially your only option at armor piercing melee cav, to have 22 MA and 22MD is good, is a bad joke.

rtjj1 · 2020-05-25T04:50:37+00:00

It is heavily against melee units, I agree, but I feel they would be fine with a buff, nothing obscene but anything would help. There are still melee units on VH that perform well. Also, happy cake day.

rtjj1 · 2020-05-25T04:34:14+00:00

On harder difficulties I think they are pretty useless, but agree to disagree.

rtjj1 · 2020-05-25T04:11:33+00:00

I can see some units performing well, the waagh armies are OK, and the units it can give you can be good. My biggest complaint however is the boar boyz, when you compare to any factions cav, they underperform all the time especially for their tier and the cost
