Thanks so much guys, you are both super helpful! I do not feel so bad anymore, off to get a h105.

The H220 is just a bad cooler with a pump that fails way too much.
Its 100% dead, 100% not your fault, and you should replace it with something that is 100% not swiftec.

no defective designing on swiftech's part (too easy cavitation and run pump dry) stock HSF idle would be 5-15° above ambient H105 because it is simple. H220x is the same as H220 just with a patent work around.

cool thanks for the tip

I disagree with the statement that its one of the best franchises because there was only 1 absolutely great game in the franchise, Duke Nukem 3d.
 
As for modern games being better, i disagree. Modern games are designed excessively easy with shallow game mechanics, and then higher difficulties just is less effective health or more enemies requiring more practice to better memorize what the game throws at you and how to counter it, not actually getting better at executing mechanics. Not to mention Modern shooters are bad console ports. Combat is designed around the short comings of controllers. Sprinting and ads allows out of combat movement to be fast and fun, while slowing in combat movement to a crawl to help with the poor aiming of controllers. Random spread reduces the need to aim decently. Radar reduces the need to turn 180 degrees which can be a pain with a controller. And at close range, people can go from in front of you to behind you in a very short period of time, one hit kill melee attacks negates the need to be able to aim at close range.These are just a couple examples. Their multiplayer is built around the insecurities of console players. They are afraid of being bad, so they need matchmaking to ensure they average roughly half their games as wins. As opposed to the past where when you played against better players you enjoyed it because you actually learned how to play better and losing wasn't a big deal. You need health regen so you can camp the same spot because that is what multiplayer shooters are for the most part in this day and age. Its not like the lack of real pc shooters can be justified with a low audience either. CS GO and TF2 are the two most played shooters on steam and CS GO has more daily players on PC then BF4 has on all 5 platforms combined, despite BF4 being newer, and a higher budget, and designed around consoles. The PC master race is strong, the problem is 99% of developers even if they were part of the master race in the past are currently console peasants. Cliffy B and Bosskey studios is a prime example of this, they're making a PC exclusive arena shooter and they're adding iron sights and making you less accurate when you fire while moving and tweeted asking if people prefer controller or m&k for shooters... They're stuck in the console mindset.

THEN DON'T POST IT IN FUCKING TECH NEWS

Or at least make Battlefield 2143... I miss you so much Titan Mode and Pilum sniping.

At the end of the new Wolfenstein 'Boom Boom' trailer (which is amazingly awesome btw) it says that pre-ordering Wolfenstein will get you access to the beta of a new doom game.
 
I can't wait for the new Wolfenstein game and this has me even more excited.

48hrs playing Guild Wars (1) during the winter holiday. Had to collect all those presents....

I support this. Good ol fashion pub stomping build.

This.... this post is awesome. I like you.
 
But really, he's right. It amazes me how decent Bethesda is at building games that allow you to do so many crazy things, but so many people just look at how to level as quickly as possible and then have the nerve to say the games are boring when they spent two days creating a ridiculous jack of all trades character that can kill everything on Master and can get mauled by 27 snow bears and frost trolls simultaneously without dying.
 
I didn't really like Gmod though. Sure, you can do anything... but it's not really a "game" per se... it's a tool.
 
I do understand where OP is coming from though. I have games on my shelf I purchased 4 years ago and never finished. And I was one of those kids that would get a game for Christmas and then play the first 3 hours of it over and over again for a year after finishing the story.
 
But ... if you really want to try out some truly great games... try Mark of the Ninja, Shank (1 and/or 2) and especially, Don't Starve. Klei Entertainment is quickly becoming one of my favorite developers because they build games that are just really simple but FUN. No bullshit.

I do not think that anyone fully understands what gaming is. IT IS A SECOND JOB!!! I have been pc gaming since 1994 and I have not quit. I play every day. How do I do such a ridiculous pointless, especially lonely, task? I get freaky with it!
My suggestion to you is to roleplay something fun. Give yourself an alternative purpose to play the game. Don't play skyrim to just be some axe toting maurader who breaks skulls in with ever swing, be a man named Tom Fisher who enjoys swimming naked in the river and has a nice farm that he stole from a bear. Gmod is limitless when it comes to roleplaying or making a silly goal.
I know what I just said only targets a few people so i have another solution. Find people to play with. I have have 3 groups of mumbles I bounce around on to play eve, dota2, csgo, starbound, cod4, all the games!!! Look at internet friends like imaginary ones that can talk. They are so much cooler!
One more suggestion. INDIE GAMES. Dear God do they really keep things interesting.
My final suggestion. Play Dungeons and Dragons. Pencil and paper style. When I'm not pc gaming I am doing that.
I know this all seems strange but im 24 and have been pc gaming since I was 5 on MSDOS and I still go home to my computer. I have played every genre and deep down they are all clones of each other, but you have to find joy in the little things. If you cannot, then you have just grown out of it and there is nothing wrong with that. If you need a group of people to play with, just let me know. I am down to play anything.

Fighting dirty is one thing, in a way it helps competition. However after reading the whole article, especially the last paragraph, it seems that Nvidia is attempting a takeover of sorts.

This is getting out of hand... too much pink

It is definitly different, but fallout 1 and 2 are fantastic. They are top view turn based games. I was just saying "more true" because the begining with the character making and the factions are very common in the old ones. Fallout 1 and 2 are very open and very complex. But for sure, give them a try.
Back to topic, I cannot wait for F4. Once I heard that the voice actor of 3dog was hired for something I got excited. That happend like 1.5yrs ago I think. I hope the setting is like a harbor area or something.

Right in da feels.

Great it has steamroller cores......now where is my FX 8 core steamroller? My 8150 seems a bit sluggish and my board is just itching for an upgrade.

Who can even trust the Chinese?

Well said sir.
