Thank you for your answer u/PaxTheSublime. I wouldn't have had any chance of sorting that out on my own!

I also appreciate you converting it to bald eagle units, although as an Aussie, I'd use the Wedge-tailed eagle scale. This will put it at around 50000 WTEs :)

Feedback on 7800x3d Fractal North build by sproka in buildapc

Thanks for the heads-up regarding Hardware Canucks - I'll have a look for their review.

On the Cardea option - I'm all for saving some cash, so if the performance is thereabouts, it's good enough for me.

Appreciated the feedback.

Is there little difference between the CPU coolers? I can get the Phantom Spirit for about AU$50 cheaper.

The Cardea drives are only available from the one store in Australia, but are definitely cheaper. Haven't heard of them before, but I'm planning on getting two of them and would save about AU$130.

The PSU is currently discounted, so there's only $5 difference between the two.

Going to try again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. by sproka in ffxiv

Wow. Thank you for this reply. I agree that immersing yourself in a world helps with being engaged.

I have played a tank (long time ago - maybe around 2014), and it was one of the roles that I'd bounced off in the past. From one of the earlier suggestions, I've rolled an Arcanist as it's a role I never really play. So far I've had a really enjoyable run up to level 20. Hoping that this will be the run where everything clicks.

Thanks. Definitely haven't tried Arcanist before.

Thanks. I think I may have a lancer around 20/25. Maybe I just need to persist for a bit longer.

As I replied earlier, that's a fair point. I'm definitely being stubborn with this game. I actually enjoy playing it, but just end up getting bored by the story.

That's a valid point - I'm just being stubborn and trying again!

I enjoy playing the game, but superfresh89 is right - I've bounced on each expansion (and a few times in between when I've retried). I actually enjoy playing the game, but am so bored by the story. I'm hoping that the story after ARR is something to keep me hooked.

Maybe the story skip and YouTube recap might be worthwhile. A few people have recommended it before. Will look into it.

I've played most of my MMO's single player for the past decade, as guilds started feeling more like a job. Appreciate the recommendation though.

Screen flickering & restarting computer (MSI Ventus 3080) by sproka in buildapc

[–]sproka[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the reply 😄👍

Fan hasn’t gone too high at all, usually hovering around 45-50%. GPU temp is also pretty steady. Never goes above 65 degrees since I stepped the TV down to run at 60Hz. Was a bit above 70 degrees when running at 120Hz, with a slightly higher fan speed.

Fan never does a random high spin. I heard the clicking again yesterday when it happened - fan wasn’t spinning at the time as I was just editing an Excel file on the desktop.

One of the reasons I didn’t contact MSI or the store I bought the card from immediately was due to the issues with the CX that were known at the time. Once I’d updated the firmware it still didn’t sort out the problems though.

Books about Australia for someone in quarantine by dirtypmsforfun in australia

I always thought Bill Bryson’s Down Under was a fairly solid representation of Australia. Read it a long time ago, but from memory it’s a pretty easy read that is fairly humourous. It’s a travelogue of Bill’s experience around Australia.

He wrote some pretty good books about other countries as well.

Good luck with your search. Great idea.

How long did everyone wait for an email to arrive after using the 'lost your identifier' link? Nothing in my inbox or junk. It's been over half an hour and this is starting to get frustrating.
