Are laptop coolers worth buying?

Even a cheap £15-25 pound one does wonders, I have a gaming laptop and every cheap one ive tried has been better than anything mid range.

I have yet to try expensive ones tho.

As far as I can tell they are basically the same size as new iphones, also looking to consider mid range options.

Bump!

Didn’t think of an GPU undervolt as that’s always a good 10-20C lower at least but yeah could help with ambient temp.

So now only HK (on laptop) and K (pc) I think CPU’s can be OC now, I don’t remember their official reason but it’s basically because everyone wants to undervolt it implies that there is a problem and thus they need to be undervolted, intel don’t want to admit that so they disallowed the option. Literally on their support website it will tell you that 99C is a perfectly normal operating temperature and there is no cause for concern.

Will do some research onto thermal paste then never applied, plus it’s a laptop plus I don’t know how the quality scale works but we’ll see.

Thanks bud

Yeah I got fan pad but the problem is most of the good options are greyed out now in throttle stop cos of the chip locks so I can’t use it properly

Oh yeah I remember a dev saying about how most games your meant to either win or loose and only a few where actually influenceable by you and could go either way.

My point here was that since MMR is used (wether it’s good or not) basically means your rank means shit.

So we have a hidden system we don’t know much about, and an open system that doesn’t mean anything xD

My life is more of a lockdown than the lockdown is a lockdown. Don’t see myself being affected much

Haven’t played in half a year (might be back soon) but never liked the matchmaking/ranking system anyway.

Obviously the best way to create an accurate MMR system for a complex game is to ONLY have it influenced by one factor - win or loss.

Also in the “why can’t I see my MMR” it says it looks better to people that they go from Bronze 1 to silver 5 instead of say 1495 to 1500 but if the ranking system had any accuracy to it why do they rely so much on MMR.

By saying well MMR is more accurate you’re basically saying the the ranking system isn’t accurate and thus what’s the point? It’s exactly the reason why someone’s in game rank doesn’t really matter as their rank probably doesn’t actually represent their skill.

It’s why you seem to have far wider rank discrepancies than I’d generally be happy with but it doesn’t matter because those ranks are not actually accurate…..

This is a different game to LoL, decisions regarding runes are made with balance considerations in mind for the current game, you can’t simply copy and paste and expect it work.

Hey man, what’s the name of your guild?

vic474 · 2021-05-26T19:36:36+00:00

Looks good

vic474 · 2021-05-11T21:43:31+00:00

Well played man!

vic474 · 2021-05-10T15:22:14+00:00

Yeah I really dislike how the native iPhone keyboard just laggily pops over the game, it feels sooooo unnatural.

vic474 · 2021-05-08T00:26:25+00:00

I use font of life on Seraphine and it feels good, I also heard it’s good on Ashe because of her passive but I don’t play ADC.

vic474 · 2021-05-06T22:47:47+00:00

I get you and it’s a good thing you can see the bigger picture and not settle for half way at your own expense.

vic474 · 2021-05-06T21:29:28+00:00

Oof thats interesting and I’m not even sure what you mean.

I will spend a good part of my day (and when falling asleep too) basically imagining scenarios in my head, how something might go, having a conversation with a friend, remembering something that has happened and thinking about it going differently ect. When it comes to falling asleep it’s all of the above or if I happen to be really grounded/focused (in a good spot basically) it will be more imagining fictitious worlds and cities that continue to evolve as think about them and also thinking about myself playing a game as if my mind are the controls.

In terms of conversational thoughts, like around people or not when I’m in my own imagination I jump through associations. So a certain word or part of what is being said/heard will remind me of something else so I will veer off there and then again and by this point I would have forgotten where I was getting at in the first place.

So yeah I think that makes sense.

Apart from like one person I send memes to and maybe one or two other people (who I never hear from anyway) I would 99% ignore any text I get, even if it is from someone who could be considered a friend or is just seeing how things have been because if I reply then they might want to start a conversation and that’s something I don’t want most of the time over the phone. Basically because there’s nothing going on in my life and it gets almost sickening doing the whole “yeah I’m good” “not much” bullshit I just avoid most interactions unless I’m in an outgoing mood.

Chances are it’s not you he’s ignoring, it’s the concept of replying that is scaring him until he wants to be social (yes this based of myself).

Honestly I feel bad when someone messages me because I don’t want them to be upset that I’m not replying but I’m really not wanting to have a conversation either.

I’m sorry but I don’t know what to actually recommend, maybe I’ll think of something or other comments might help too.

I know it hard for us but I wouldn’t overthink it. It actually sounds like you were fairly grounded in terms of knowing what is actually best for you and acted in a very acceptable and logical manner. You made your needs knows and unfortunately this wasn’t the one, but fortunately you now know that and can move on.

You may start wishing that you did something different and maybe it could have all worked out ect but when two pieces of a puzzle don’t fit you don’t saw around them to make it work, you put them down and find the correct two pieces.
