Interesting perspective on class selection, "tier lists," and meta classes from a guy who plays 8-12 hours per day with 24 alts and like $30,000 spent on the game in Korea. TL;DR, just play whatever feels and looks good to you.

I have all four characters fully geared to the point I could gold all Tier 15 expeditions when they had a timer. Now that timers are removed a Earthquake/Bleed devastator is definitely the easiest with entry gear. Heatwave pyro isn't quite as tanky, but can be close and is easy to play. Turret...

Thermals are terrible and some proprietary stuff, but it has a 3090 for a decent price: https://slickdeals.net/f/15495394-hp-omen-30l-gaming-desktop-pc-gt13-1380z-with-nvidia-rtx-3090-amd-ryzen-5-5600x-2286-after-coupon-2285-99

So far I absolutely love the Lian Li Lancool 2 Mesh case. Accessibility and cable management are a lot better than anything I've used in the past. Pretty thorough review of the one I got here:

My issue was I was buying at Microcenter to put together the next day and according to them most of the ones they had in stock were not compatible with Alder Lake due to needing a different bracket. More about that here...

Now that I've done AIO cooling builds I don't think I would ever go back to air (I'd rather deal with a radiator than trying to work with and around the air coolers). I almost pulled the trigger on a 12600k, but because of the limited board and cooling selection a 5800x build was quite a bit...

Does anyone have input on if I should go with Windows 11 or 10 for the install? Also, any suggestions on a place to get a Windows key for a decent price?

St. Louis Park, MN. I also ended up with a 5800x for 299, MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk for $139, EVGA 850 Gold PSU for 139, a Lian Li II Mesh case, 16 GB G.Skill 3200 ram kit, and a Corsair ICUE H100i Pro XT Cooler. The MSI Gaming Z Trio 3080 was $1,149. I have until tomorrow to make a...

So my son had a pretty rough holiday (4 days in the hospital) and I went to a Microcenter with him to chear him up and maybe buy a few upgrades in my old PC for him. As we were chatting with one of the salesmen about maybe a new CPU/Mobo he asked if we needed a GPU. He offered a 3060, and I...

If you undervolt, underclock core, and overclock memory you will hit better MH/s and higher efficiency with less heat without replacing thermal pads. I just started using the nicehash quickminer instead of their standard one, and it does have an OCTuning tool that I'm about to start messing...

It is my understanding the memory is rated for 96c. The cards seem to thermal throttle when the junction hits between 102-110. I think nicehash recommends not going above 94c on the junction. There are a lot of tuning guides out there, and I think nicehash has a tool to do it. MH/s obviously...

I run mine at 95% while mining, but I have to in order to hit the mining numbers I want while keeping the memory junction at an acceptable temp. I do know running them at 100% is popular. If I need something replaced outside of warranty the fans are probably the easiest/cheapest.

Get HWINFO and look at "Memory Junction Temperature" for your GPU. Are you really running that stock with no tuning for mining? Just based on that screenshot you are almost certainly thermal throttling your card, and hitting temps way too high on your memory junction. You should try to keep it...

I get your post was a joke... I was still curious about your memory junction temp (unless you don't even really have a 3080 or mine it).

Out of curiosity, what is your memory junction at while mining eth?

The game looks significantly better on PS5. It is 4k on a 65" TV vs 1440p on a monitor, but I wasn't expecting such a huge difference.

I'm running this at 1440p, but it certainly doesn't look like it. I have a RTX 3080 and the frames are fine, but even at Ultra settings things just don't look very good. COD/Warzone look infinitely better, which is not what I was expecting.

Sorry, Wrong thread!

It is an Alienware, but some people have been happy with them. Some cooling suggestions in the thread. Alienware Aurora R10 Desktop: Ryzen 5 5600X, 256GB SSD, 8GB DDR4, RTX 3080 10GB, $1733...

Ha! They did file patents well before your post, but good luck with that!

A good friend of mine just launched this kickstarter. It is quite a bit more affordable than some of the other organizational products out there, and it they have some innovative features. They also have STL 3d printing files.

Anyone experience controller issues with their PS5? In FPS games the crosshair will periodically jerk to the side (almost like drift). I thought it was the controller, but it also happens with any PS4 controller we use on the system too. Now I'm thinking it is maybe a Bluetooth issue? We also...

I'm still playing, but only when friends are on. At least one person running a full debuff pyro makes 15s really easy. I've two shot brood mothers on both my techno and trickster after a debuff. Slot the 40% debuff thermal bomb mod along with the ones that allow it to hit two targets and cast...

Releasing a major patch on a Friday before a 4 day holiday weekend for employees has to be one of the dumbest gaming game dev decisions I've ever seen.

Yeah, and armor stacking doesn't seem to help that much. I was doing carries for two others on 15s pre patch with ease. Now I often die quite a bit when trying to carry one in a 14. It isn't just the elites either.

I've now capped drop pods on my techno so many times that I no longer really have anything to use them on. I buy everything I can, pretty much cap resources, and upgrade gear for all my other classes. I haven't needed any upgrades on him since the day after I unlocked 15s, and I regularly do...

Techno is by far the easiest to push end game content with. It is one of the few that requires zero legendaries. I can carry two other people to gold in tier 15 expeditions. Meanwhile, my dev and pyro struggle to finish a 14 gold while trying to farm legendaries for set bonuses. Trickster is...

I unlocked T15s last night on my techno and was pretty comfortably farming gold 15s after taking 5 minutes to craft. The key is to save blues and greens with the three stats your class needs, then level them to 50 before upgrading to epic. Farming the hauras hunt is a great way to get blues to...

Well rolled blue drops can actually be better than having an epic drop. The three stat bonuses stay when upgrading to epic, and you can choose one of three offered mods for the second mod slot that gets added when upgrading.

Lucky... My RMA with MSI was a disaster. I sent it in January and it took like 7 weeks and the replacement they sent was DOA. They were supposed to expedite the second one, but that also took a month.

Greenmangaming has it for 47.99 when logged in.

Inquisitor can hit 100% crit pretty easily now after the changes. Disintigrater also gives free battlemage. I'm running a diamond flask to cap crit for now, but with more points and better gear it would be capped without it. Between knockback on the cyclone, fortify on every hit, and some leech...

I wanted to try one more build before giving up on the league and made a Bladefall/Bladeblast Inquisitor and hated the playstyle. I searched POE for something to blow my regrets on and found this gem...

Yeah, memory junction was definitely throttling. 106 is supposed to be max safe, but the company that makes it supposedly has that memory type rated at 98 max. I use afterburner to set a mining profile. 64% power, -200 core clock, +1150 memory clock, 95% fan. That is close to what most people...

What temp is your memory junction at while mining stock? Mine actually went down by undervolting power and overclocking memory. The major problem with leaving it totally stock is the fans are based on main GPU temp, but it is actually the memory junction that is usually thermal throttling...

What tweaking have you done to the card? With my 3080 I average over 96 MH/s now on nicehash, and could go higher if I wasn't more conservative with my tuning. When I first started with stock settings my card was thermal throttling due to the memory junction temp.

Sounds like you still want to go with the normal season gear upgrades if you have time, as they are slightly better. The new trade in is one time per family?

Yeah, the graphics and animations are really well done. They also did a great job with the towns/world with things going on that make it feel a lot more immersive than a lot of other games. As far as complexity it really is the POE of MMORPGS.

I've had my 3080 mining off and on for about a month now with a net of about $200. Mostly overnight with a pretty conservative clock. I just click a few buttons to start/stop and change afterburner profile. 1 year full warranty so I'm not overly concerned about issues in that time, and if it...
