    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Cool. I'll give someone a whisper if I make a character. I can't decide between a druid or a priest.

    This is my case, just the newer version. The dimensions should still be the same... And it looks like it won't fit the Noctua D15. It can never be easy can it? Would the Hyper Cooler 212 allow a little bit of overclocking? Next time I'm just buying the biggest case on the market haha.

    Well that makes things a lot simpler. I was under the impression that my PC was underperforming because of the RAM. So the new game plan is: -Get a beefy cooler for current CPU and overclock it. -Get a new video card, whenever I can get my hands on one. -And buy a 1440p monitor. I'm just...

    Haha I should have asked sooner. Why have I seen that it won't run at full capacity without dual channel mode or whatever?

    I tried every configuration and it only works in 1&2 but the manual calls for 1&3 to be used if there are two sticks.

    What's wrong with my RAM: my PC won't boot up unless the RAM is in slots 1&2. When I initially built the pc I didn't know the RAM usually works best in slots 1&3 so I installed it in 1&2. A year or so ago I went to upgrade my RAM and discovered that it won't boot up in any configuration other...

    You're saying I should reuse my current CPU? I thought about that but there are almost no motherboards available for that old of a processor. The main reasons I want to do a rebuild is the RAM slots are messed up on my current MOBO and I want to game in 1440p, so I want a better GPU.

    Gotcha. I'll just be sticking with the same socket unless I wait long enough to get the new 1200 Intel socket later in 2021. Not sure what PCU I'll be going with but I will know in a few months how supply is looking.

    A couple more questions: -Can I reuse my current CPU cooler for a new CPU? It is a Cooler Master Hyper 212 so it should obviously work for anything. I'm just not sure if thermal paste is safely removeable from it. -Can I just plug my old HDD into the new build and not have to buy Windows...

    Interesting. I have to buy a new CPU when I upgrade anyway. Is it really necessary these days to have 8+ cores for most gaming? I don't play any crazy games like Cyberpunk, FPS games, or really anything that pushes your computer to the limits. I also don't do any video editing or running a...

    Are motherboard mounting holes not universal? I guess I was under the impression any MOBO would fit into any case (as long as the case is not tiny). Also, as someone who doesn't know much about how CPU and GPU performance actually works, why are Ryzen CPUs so "slow"? I currently have an...

    Sounds good. I was hoping things would calm down sometime soon. I have no idea what card I want but you can't find anything right now so it doesn't really matter.

    As someone who is interested in upgrading my desktop in the next year, what is the outlook like on video cards? Is there such a shortage just because of covid? I'm not willing to pay triple for the part of the pc that's already the most expensive.

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    I'm considering upgrading my monitor. Currently have a 24" and am looking at getting a 32" 1440p monitor. My only concern is I have a 1070 video card. Do you think that will safely run most games OK on a 1440p monitor? I don't play anything heavy on graphics. I play stuff like Grim Dawn...

    Who do you rely the most on for game reviews?

    I just watch let's plays on YouTube to determine if I will like a game. It creates some spoilers doing it that way but it's better than wasting money on a game I won't like.

    Just recently bought Brass Birmingham and Terra Mystica. After two plays I can say that Brass Birmingham is just fantastic. We're playing Terra Mystica tonight for the first time with four of us. Pretty excited!

    NBA Jam T.E. or Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball for me. I played a ton of both.

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    If you don't want to Google character builds you could use the pre-made ones. I've heard they are viable at least up to normal difficulty. A little searching around the net will find countless builds that will work for any of the lower difficulties, and usually when people post a build it will...

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    I restarted my first game shortly after reaching kingdom management after I realized I basically wasted a lot of my BP. I'm on my second play through now and it's obviously going a lot smoother, except I realized I accidently selected the wrong sex voice for my main character. Is there a way to...

    Haha I'm in the same boat. This is the only game I have played where I gave up because it just got too complicated. It was fun but to really get to end game stuff you have to be smarter than I am.

    I thought this "launched" ages ago. It has been launch quality for ages at least. Anyway, fantastic game.

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Just picked this game up. I'm scared of how many hours I'm probably going to play it. I made a longbow ranger for my first main character but I'm customizing all my companions so it should be fun!

    Got this on sale on Steam the other day. It's exactly what I was hoping it would be, basically a re-skin of FFT. I'm excited to experiment with different builds!

    Grim Dawn

    This is one my favorite games of all time but don't they have anything better to do than tweak item stats all day long? Lol. I'd rather see them add more areas or something. Those patch notes are crazy.

    Grim Dawn

    The rogue-like dungeons are the best place to farm besides shattered realm. However, you need a fairly strong build to finish any of them without dying. Before the rogue-likes you can pretty much just farm anywhere that you can quickly and easily kill elites.

    Grim Dawn

    Regarding Moos, in my experience he can 1-shot most builds unless they are pretty geared and using a tanky build, at least in phase 2. However, he moves so slow that you should be able to kite him. Poorly geared melee will really struggle though since you can't kite well.

    Grim Dawn

    I will second that the story aspect of this game was surprisingly good. After about your second or third characters I turned off voices and all that but it is really well done for an arpg.

    Grim Dawn

    As far as legendaries, no you can't farm specific items. The one exception is the Krieg's set, which is a great set for an aether death knight.

    Moving Options

    I highly recommend buying a nice air tire hand truck. It's one of the best purchases I've ever made. Even if you only stack boxes on it that still saves your back a lot of work. And despite the instructions saying don't move fridges with it, I definitely have without any problem. Anything I can...

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    Anyone live in the Minneapolis area? I'll be moving there later this year and am curious about internet provider options there. Any recommendations? I'm not looking for fiber optic or anything. Just something middle-ground speed with a reasonable price.

    Agreed. I just picked this up a few weeks ago and it's a blast.

    Grim Dawn

    I haven't really compared many of the changed items vs how they used to be, but I did notice some of the monster infrequents have really good resists now. I do need to figure out how to access the new roguelike. I have no idea where it is or how to get in.

    This game is so complex it's crazy. I'm loving it so far though. I've been reading forums and watching YouTube videos like crazy and I still feel like I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. Lots of the systems that seem mandatory for long term colony survival I still haven't even seen, much...

    I'm just waiting for this game to go on sale on steam. Hoping it will be on sale for the Halloween sale. It seems like it's going to be crazy complicated but definitely looking forward to learning it!

    Computer Issues

    I did try same sizes in 1-3 and 2-4. Any time there is a stick in slots 3 or 4 I get the debug lights. I just tried updating my BIOS and that didn't fix it. I thought it might because a few of the updates said better memory compatibility, but it didn't. The issue seems to be slots 3 and 4, not...

    Computer Issues

    It's a long shot, but I have a problem with the RAM in my PC: RAM only works in slots 1-2. I built a PC about a year ago. I clearly didn't do my research on which slots to install the RAM in because I installed them in 1-2. I now know that will run slower. I bought some more RAM and installed...
