    not that i support everything he does, but didn't he successfully turned that money into more money or smth? so i don't get this take, everyone starts off with something
  3. I wonder what makes me able to kill the same boss over and over again

    Almost doing the same thing each time

    I am still getting better at it, but to kill it 2000+ times is kinda unreal if you think about it

     

    I'm not into speed running but my time is definitely up there somewhere

      Me I usually do that kind of thing when I really enjoy the fight.

  4. Tried gaming on my 15.6 inch monitor

    How tf did I do it before? It's so painful

     

    UI on 27inch looks 'normal', but it's almost illegible on 15.6inch

      Well, once we found a new comfort zone we tend to hate the one our brain perceived as lesser.

      Although when forced and with enough time to readjust, we'll feel  the lesser one is fine again.

       

      There's a minimum tho

       

      Took me awhile to adapt to a 15,6 inch (laptop) after years of never using 15.6 inch screen.

      Phone on the other hand.... no.... just ..... no.

    -goes around a year without touching any comput…

    i have no idea what they use, nor did i measure the pad thickness just repasted

    Additional info for anyone that's interested

    -goes around a year without touching any comput…

    i believe this heatsink is designed with a 3070 in mind as there are thermal pads for spots without VRAM this is the i7 11th gen 3060 variant of the MSI GF66 katana i added some info regarding the thermal performance
  8. -goes around a year without touching any computer parts and suddenly having to service several stuffs in a span of a week-

     

    Today it's a laptop, opened, cleaned, repasted

    GPU of this laptop runs hot, even after cleaning

    Shoots to 86c almost instantly in games that's heavy on CPU and GPU, but doesn't thermal throttle so all good

      Reminds me I probably should repaste my PS4 and Macbook air one of these days.

    Took apart two more GPU to clean today Asus 306…

    temps looking happy now, so far will monitor for anymore paste cracks/deteoriates and temp rises
  10. Took apart two more GPU to clean today

     

    Asus 3060Ti TUF

    DSC_1052.thumb.JPG.ea618a48db5a2b6b3bb9900b87f2522f.JPG

     

    Taking apart the heatsink is a pain compared to the Asus Dual I opened yesterday, 6 small screws holding shroud to the heat sink, then 4 screws on each fan (3 of each are under the blade, which makes opening them super annoying)

     

    DSC_1053.thumb.JPG.3ddde35af7dd2aefbdbba10f4c1018b2.JPG

     

    I hope GPU gets designed like the Asus dual, can access the heatsink surface to properly clean it easily without having to take apart the fan

     

    Another card is Zotac Trinity 3070

    Other than black thermal pads, which I never seen before, the GPU die packaging have a weird border around it (hard plastic), which isn't seen in other GPU I've had

    DSC_1055.thumb.JPG.37dd4318d9663d9d7c3d60348ef639c2.JPG

     

    The fans are just as annoying to access

     

    I really should take apart my HOF 3090 to fix the thermal pads, the mem temp have been quite high since I last serviced it (potentially too thin of a pad? Idk)

    But I haven't had the mood to do it

    So my Asus Dual 3070 shot up to 90c upon loadin…

    the flakes you see on the die are the paste on the sides, i scrapped them up a more representative of the spread is on the heatsink, to me it looks fine

    It is indeed The temps were fine before It's fine now after re-paste Coincidentally, my other Asus 3060Ti tuf is also running a bit warm (80c) Could it be Asus factory paste doesn't last that long on these cards?
  13. So my Asus Dual 3070 shot up to 90c upon loading, so I opened it to re-paste and clean the dust

     

    One of the easiest GPU to open and service

    Literally done in 10 minutes, compared to some GPU taking me ages

      maybe? But that paste doesn't look very squished out as expected with a properly contacted die.

    I just turned on motion blur for the first time…

    i understand that motion blur makes sense in photo (without it it may as well be a parked car), but while playing i dont think i would prefer it personally i thought that VR would be horrible for racing game because of FOV? but i may be wrong, havent experienced VR personally would think UW monitor would be preferred over VR?
  16. Moonzy

    I just turned on motion blur for the first time…

    would having a larger screen help? it would explain why some people use massive TV for racing rigs ngl that image looks horrible to me
  17. Moonzy

    I just turned on motion blur for the first time…

    perhaps, I don't play much racing games, but why? to make peripheral view blurry? isnt it more natural if it's blurry because you're actually focused on the road instead of having it made artificially blurry, and when you look at it intentionally it's not supposed to be blurry?

    i could tell motion blur is on even on crappy discord stream when my friends have it turned on to each their own, i suppose

    it is bad why would u want things to be blurry as u pan around tf? as if we arent buying monitors with fast pixel response time to solve that issue

  22. if you're competitive, 240hz is nice if you're casual and like to enjoy graphics, 1440p144 is nice i used both, now im at 1440p144, occasionally i do miss 240hz, though
  23. well, opened my mouse to fix it
    unpinned the button causing issue (that i nvr use) and it's solved, ayyy

  24. Moonzy

    Yo dawg, want some lumens?

    not the brightest idea, did you pull it out of your behind? glad someone shined some light on that
  25. im not sure if i would want my mic to do any filtering by itself but you can use softwares like nvidia broadcast to filter out noises, if you are using nvidia card
