    Cooling Performance vs Acoustics: What's More Important?

    That would make a lot of sense... after all this motherboard was probably manufactured in 2017 when Ryzen first came out. It's still surprising to me that it can even support Zen 3, though AFAIK my mobo is one of very few X470 that support Zen 3. I just happened to luck out and be able to get a...

    The Free Time Limited Games List

    Machinarium is often cited as a high point in indie game design but I've never played it myself. I did play Make Way a bit on Game Pass and it's a decent little top-down racer. You can make your own tracks and there seems to be lots of unlocks and collectables. I may give it another shot. It...

    Cooling Performance vs Acoustics: What's More Important?

    Motherboard is a Gigabyte AORUS Gaming 5 X470. Two front intake fans and one rear exhaust fan are all Noctua NF-S12B Redux PWM fans. Top exhaust fan is a Arctic P12 Slim PWM. CPU cooler is a Thermalright Peerless Assassin V3 with twin PWM fans. The two CPU cooler fans are connected to a Noctua...

    Cooling Performance vs Acoustics: What's More Important?

    At the end of the day all I care about is good cooling regardless of what software I use. I've seen Fan Control recommended so much, but for me BIOS is easiest for case fans and Afterburner for GPU fans. I just can't seem to get it to work. My GPU stays below 65c and CPU stays below 50c in...

    Cooling Performance vs Acoustics: What's More Important?

    My problem was that the Fan Control software was only detecting one fan and my GPU, it was not detecting all fans. There are a total of 6 fans in my PC excluding the GPU. I went through the trouble of reconnecting the fans and now have a total of 4 fans connected directly to the mobo, not on...

    Is it safe now?

    Hey there, welcome to the forums! This past Friday I performed a full upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I did a clean install, not keeping any data from Win10 and allowed the installation program to wipe my drive clean. I had no issues at all with getting the installation complete...

    I've had such a hard time getting into that game. I've tried it many times over and over, though I never stick with it. It seems like such a cool game, but my brain just does not click with it correctly.

    I usually don't have trouble with long travel times. I have over 300 hours in DayZ and probably 75% of that time was me sprinting around. Something about Enshrouded is really making me want a mount though, or to be able to pull up more on the glider so I don't descend as fast. Hopefully they...

    Does anyone use Dynamic Lighting on Windows 11 to control RGB on their PC and peripherals? I tried to do it with my Razer Deathadder V2 and it wasn't working at all. I look up a tutorial on how to do it, and you still need to use Razer Synapse to enable the ability to control it via Windows...

    Cooling Performance vs Acoustics: What's More Important?

    I've always used BIOS and Afterburner to set fan curves, but decided to check out Fan Control last night. It only detected one fan out of 6 I have installed in the case, and my GPU fans. It names all the mobo connectors, and they were all blank/no sensor. Very strange because I know all the fans...

    I leveled up my first altar and that increased my altar limit from 2 to 4, so maybe it will continue to grow for a while. All the traveling on foot is one thing I'm not a big fan of in this game but ultimately doesn't bother me that much. I just wish there was another way to travel faster...

    A little more Enshrouded last night. I turned the difficulty down very slightly, increased resource gather rate and XP gain, and it's already a lot easier as a solo player. Not too easy though, things like enemy damage and Shroud time I kept at default values but decreased enemy and boss health...

    Local streaming doesn't work that great for me. I've done Steam's remote play before, and perhaps it was the receiving device that was creating the bottleneck, but the latency was very bad and made playing unenjoyable. Picture quality was great though, which I found strange.

    "Members" tab filled with Guest... too many?

    I was poking around the forum and found myself in the Members tab. There were pages upon pages of "Guest" viewing the forums, and even going to page 10 or so showed it was only within minutes ago. Is there just a massive amount of bots reading the forum or what? Edit: Specifically in the...

    Just saw that after I made my last post lol. Seems that the issue with latency is when you go to 1440p or higher, and at high frame rates. My TV doesn't go beyond 1080p 60fps so hopefully I don't have an issue with it. My internet speed is decent, but I'm unsure about latency which is more...
