Not bad at all, your 4k load temp is the same as my 1440 load temp lol
Man Cave Mike 25 Mar @ 7:49am 
I dont have anything to monitor temp inside the case, but front mounted AIO made gpu temp rise 2 to 5c and lowered the cpu temp 2 to 3c.

Also front mounted lowers the aio coolant temp, which is 28 to 34c vs top mount of 32 to 38c

Ram is usually around 40c Same with ssds, all in all, for measurment, My old P400 case could nearly fit 100% inside my P500a case.
Man Cave Mike 25 Mar @ 7:46am 
@Horked, both usually stay under 60C. 66c is highest the GPU has reached. CPU doesnt see over 65c in games, and is usually around 45 to 55c, with shader compile and downloading causing the most heat with random spikes as high as 70c and running OOCT stress test itll hit 78c to 80c during intentional stress. No thermal throttling.

Still gonna reapply the paste next month I think
Horked 25 Mar @ 7:29am 
I didnt even notice the friend thing, surprised when I got friend invite lol Discord ruined gaming and several other things, but thats another debate. Yeah its a nice rig man! But I was just wondering about the temperatures, CPU, GPU and then inside the case. Doesnt matter if its idle or load.
Man Cave Mike 25 Mar @ 12:29am 
Hey Horked, sorry I think I unfriended you during a recent purge when I was trying to clean a security issue, anybody I couldnt immediately place I canned. I resent the invite. Branded also got canned by accident, nothing personal. I had a discord data breach so I went into overkill purge mode

I am loving the 265k. I have no performance issues since the RTX 5080 handles most computing power and at 4k its more gpu bound. I am not getting 240hz at 4k with max settings on anything modern, but I get 80 to 100 fps without dlss in most games.

My P500a DRGB case is pushing 6 years old and still going strong. No complants. Phantec makes a great case.
Horked 24 Mar @ 7:46am 
gz with new rig, hows the temps with that case and fan setup? digging the case, prolly getting one too

Not sure why you unfriended me but it's alright.
Man Cave Mike 31 Jul, 2025 @ 10:25am 
@CJ I have severe adhesive capsulitis in my left arm and I am limited to how much gaming I can actively do with my left arm. A controller would make playing easier, if they add full support id try to return. atm I am undergoing PT 2x a week for next 6 weeks to avoid more surgeries.
cJ 31 Jul, 2025 @ 7:44am 
Have you heard they are working on controller support for DF? Need ZombieNation back ASAP, zombiekiller444 awaits your return. Never forgot!

I don't recommend Nuclear Option, but Tiny Combat Arena is pretty good and has Steam Workshop support for adding planes, weapons, missions, etc.
Man Cave Mike 15 Dec, 2024 @ 9:39pm 
Thanks MissNurseXochi. I know I am getting old, had to google what based meant lol

You´re welcome man, Helldivers 2 is great fun! In case you´re interested, I´ve made a group, Gentlemen Divers, for the reason you wrote about in the discussion forum (non toxic co-op gaming). All nice and team oriented people. Check my profile if you like.
FreeQ 19 Apr, 2024 @ 5:41am 
You´re welcome, man!
FreeQ 19 Apr, 2024 @ 1:39am 
Hi Mike, I´ve answered to your post in Helldivers 2 and had similar experiences with co-op gaming (esp. in Payday2) until I gave it another shot with Deep Rock Galactic and cured that "wound". There still are gentle and relaxed gamers out there. If you ever consider giving co-op another try I´d gladly help you out and show you around in Helldivers 2 if you decide buying it. That said have a good one!

I hope you don't own the game because those developers will snoop through your profile and comments and they will ban you and if they really hate what you have said or the support you get from it, they'll even VAC ban you too (again see my review)."

I already had the game but removed it from my account.
Man Cave Mike 7 Jan, 2024 @ 2:03pm 
Ya I am a binge player, Ill play something for 3 to 4 month exclusively then move on. I am currently into SWTOR Diablo 4 and Outriders
Chip Patton 7 Jan, 2024 @ 1:54pm 
You must have had some fun there - I don't get burned out unless I was having fun at some point ;)

Hope to see you playing it soon though. I am hosting a PVP server, but as you know, our community has very little PVP because people usually conduct themselves like decent human beings - but the option is there, nonetheless.
Man Cave Mike 7 Jan, 2024 @ 1:45pm 
Thanks @ Chip but I only do PVP on official servers. Ill pve on unofficial, but I am taking a break from the game until its finished. I burned myself out with over 600 hours when it released.
Chip Patton 7 Jan, 2024 @ 1:07pm 
Talking to FriendlyMedic on this issue (dev) he seemed to indicate this was a server-load issue and sounds and such in the simulation being prioritized very low. I would assume that playing on official servers and whatnot would exacerbate the issue.

But... you also know that the servers are run are usually 100x better than any official server out there lol. None of those in my community are noticing any issues with sound. Rarely we'll notice we don't hear a helicopter that is flying full speed but the moment it changes course or shoots a gun we hear it from half-way across the map lol. I think this is a problem with model streaming and sound not playing until the models appropriately stream in to the client which again could be latency and server load issues.
Chip Patton 7 Jan, 2024 @ 1:07pm 
We were able to get the ping of the server WAY down for everyone by nixing the stream reverse proxy too - this fixed all sorts of issues we were experiencing including people getting randomly kicked from the server. My own ping to the server went from 60m/s to just 8m/s and that's appropriate being it's just down the street from me in my company's office.
Man Cave Mike 6 Jan, 2024 @ 9:22am 
The sound doesnt Exist. You dont hear ppl shooting at you until they are right on you. You can raid through bases and be in 4 doors and wont hear a thing
Chip Patton 6 Jan, 2024 @ 4:20am 
What was the sound issue? I know the env sounds are too loud and I just turn it down in the options ;)
Man Cave Mike 6 Jan, 2024 @ 4:02am 
I have the front. waiting for them to fix the 1000 bugs. But its a decent game.

Currently the sound issues caused me to take a break from it. I been doing more rpg style games as of late. The sound issue on The Front killed it for me atm.

Dont care to share anything about avorion, game is dead to me as far as MP goes. Ill play SP maybe if ever that bored. I moved on.

That game is like my ex wife. A waste of time best left in the past.
Chip Patton 6 Jan, 2024 @ 3:57am 
Might be worth sharing or commenting on if they haven't banned you already:

https://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/app/445220/discussions/0/4031349199258296955/#c4031350479988188179

Also if you're looking for a game that is very anti-woke - the Front is fantastic. I see you have tried it but I do have that monster server hosting it right now and we get upwards of about 20+ players during peek times (which is Saturday). Seems like only us older folks with jobs play :P because the week days are barren.
Chip Patton 6 Jan, 2024 @ 3:54am 
Seems we have a LOT in common, You're 2 years older than me, and seems we have other very similar views lol.

This is a war though and there is no way we can hide from it - that's the one thing my ban taught me. This war isn't right vs left either, it's good vs evil, God vs Satan. You can't take a neutral stance in this war - if you do, you will be run over by it as we both were.
Man Cave Mike 6 Jan, 2024 @ 3:52am 
@Chip Yup you did. I tried to keep politics out of my game, but I am the bigot because I only see 2 genders. I said nothing bad about others. But if you dont confess there are more than 2 genders, well you are banned you biggot!

Well the Avorion devs can take their genders, benders, ♥♥♥♥♥ and my bigotry and shove it so far up their yahoo they will be walking straight for once in their lives. I just dont care about drama or what people think anymore.

I am 45, too old to be bothered by kids and far left agenda.

I am white, republican, Trump supporting, Christian American who just wants to enjoy a good game away from politics.

But if they wanna bring it, well, they can take a long walk off a short pier,

BTW Thanks again for your service to out country!

@Mr Incarnadine

"Ignorant beliefs"

Isn't it your side that says "trust the science"?

What is it medical science tells us about indulging someone in their delusions, again? Oh, right - it's not healthy.

Please don't lecture people on ignorance and "beliefs" when you can't even create a coherent argument on your belief.
Man Cave Mike 2 Jan, 2024 @ 5:39pm 
NP @ Manjaro. Sadly, a good game is ruined by devs allowing political agendas to be pushed into their game.
ManJaro 2 Jan, 2024 @ 3:57pm 
I almost bought avorion. thank you. Remove from my wishlist :47_thumb_up:

@Miss Incarnadine

oh great. the ol "bigot" routine of name calling. Do yourself a favor and try and debate me. better yet, if you cant have a nice debate, you would be better off not replying and instead sit in your safe space, where you belong. that would be nice.
Man Cave Mike 14 Dec, 2023 @ 2:31pm 
Thanks @GalvazimGX This is just an example of the Left being so hate filled. They try to force you to see it their way or you're a bigot.
Miss Incarnadine 14 Dec, 2023 @ 10:19am 
I'm sorry you're a bad person with stupid, bigoted, ignorant beliefs.
GalvazimGX 14 Dec, 2023 @ 8:50am 
Hey. I am just commenting here in vouch for your support on the avorion topic regarding that TreeDev crap thats been going on. I wholeheartedly agree with you, Politics should not be in games yet these bastards are targeting free thinking people like you and me. Dont give up. God is within us all and there are only two genders. Male and Female.

Naming And Shaming?

I hate to break it to you, but Valve's Rules & Regulations are
basically rigged against you as a User... If you Disobey them,
then you'll likely be punished, but Valve can let anyone else
disobey them however Valve chooses...

If you think that is unfair? It technically is for the Users...

Something needs to give, People need to stand up against this...
--- Yes, you'll get in trouble, but that is the point, is that you
get in trouble, but don't stop getting in trouble... You don't quit,
because it shows very much that your not going to let Valve
boss you around...

It's either that, or just let Valve do whatever they want, but
like you think? It's not fair, & your being taken advantage of...

Valve's Rules should be broken, because they themselves
won't respect their own Rules, & won't provide a fair Agreement...

Worried about your Account being Perma Banned?
There are ways around that... Don't use your Account...
