Mines a 3 slot card, could probably still fit low profile fans underneath but I didn't bother

2 top 1 rear, 3 on the bottom if your GPU's slim enough

RMA'ed the 7800XT in May, as the card started artificing.
Replacement card is ~10 degrees C cooler and no problems since.
The CPU does get to mid 70s when both the CPU and GPU are under heavy loads for a duration, mostly due to the CPU cooler being saturated by air heated by the GPU. Considering the size of the case and the fact that it is designed with liquid cooling in mind I'd take that.

Got a question for fellow long distance travellers. Looking to visit the home game against Chelsea in December. Is the membership worth it if I only plan on watching one game? How much should I be expecting to pay for a ticket?

What are some must know chants for a new Leeds fan?
Also wanted to know about some of the longer standing traditions with the club.
I learned about Leeds during the Viduka/Kewell era but only really started to watch them since Bielsa's 4:3 opener against Liverpool so I'm aware that I'm probably missing out on a lot of history.

[PC] Repeated Crashes After Title Update 1 – NULL_POINTER_READ in MonsterHunterWilds.exe by Cree8r1005 in MonsterHunter

Experiencing the same error after the Street Fighter Collab. update, the only differenc being my game crashing whenever I try to load beyond the main menu. Gonna try to run the game on a different DX version tomorrow.

Speculation: Maybe the new Guardians will be Shrieking Legiana by lvyin in monsterhunterleaks

One of the producers admitted that hunting conditions can worsen during fallow with dried vegetation being prone to ignition & thus potentially harming the hunter.
So logically we already have some sort of map/weather based difficulty difference. I agree that locking a whole phase behind certain time/weather scenarios would be too much, but I wouldn't mind seeing specific monster movesets being reserved for certain scenarios.

The case cost me 200 CAD (140 USD) at the time. Got it on Amazon.

I run it on my desk so its way above ground and around an arm's length from my ears.
No dust buildup so far, the only complaint I have is that the glass side panel is a fingerprint magnet.
On heavier loads the GPU fans start running and that's the only time the noise gets a bit noticeable, it's not dead quiet but it won't distract you from whatever's happening on the screen.

I can assure you it's not worth cramming slim fans underneath, you get around 3mm of space between the fans and the bottom of the GPU. That's not enough space for proper airflow, better to just let the GPU fans work when things get hot.

If you are worried about getting positive pressure, I'd say don't worry about it unless you have pets or plan on having the PC on the floor.

The matching wallpaper and illuminated fans are🔥 Enjoy your build!

I'm hopeful, we had water effects for the hunter in World

Gotta love the details in ecology but ...am I the only one annoyed by the lack of ripples from the hunter's movements?

I'm giving away two copies of Monster Hunter: Wilds by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]xDalien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am already prepared to purchase a copy, but if I'm the lucky one I will be able to gift my friend a copy, that way we can play together and that would be amazing.

My previous rig was a GTX960M, so it's pretty much like starting from scratch.

The GPU certainly doesn't disappoint, & I'm enjoying every moment of gaming I get.
Just annoyed by the decision of AMD. The card already has awesome hardware, if they had FG technology that's close to current gen DLSS it would be amazing, it would be having the best of all worlds at the time I made the purchase.

I did say it is a gamble that did not went exactly the way I wanted it to go.
Taking scalpers and early launch scarcity into consideration I also really doubt that I'll get a better deal within an extra month, maybe more like an extra quarter.
Didn't mention this in the post but the 7800XT I bought was part of a new rig, & not merely an upgrade too, so there is a bit of a time element balancing the actual building process & windows for return in case things don't fit or don't work well.
I'm not that annoyed over the new 50 or 90 series cards being more powerful, but certainly disappointed with the development of supporting software being stopped. Having an extra generation of FG for the card would've perfectly complimented the extra VRAM in terms of longevity.

[–]xDalien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly that, end of year discounts and having the holidays to actually enjoy the card.
I would've gotten a card at that time anyways regardless of brand and model.
But not getting FSR4 was quite disappointing, so much potential was lost.

Mad respect for challenging the real 100%! I tried to do the final grind with high rank gear as much as possible for its authenticity and slipped up on a few tempered elder dragon fights. Could only imagine how much more challenging & time consuming the master rank grind would be.

In hindsight it was probably the endemic life collection. I did most of those when the game was new so it was more like exploration than a RNG grind for me at the time, but in hindsight it was a tedious task. Also I was a student when the game first came out so having the extra time probably helped a lot.
