I want to get a Liquid cooler for my new computer i'm going to build. I want to Overclock a i7 3770K. What Liquid cooler should I get? (I'm ordering from newegg, so please get it from there if you can)

Definitely want to?

You can get very good air coolers (some of them look like big metal towers lolol) that will give you good temperatures.

Liquid cooling is expensive and extreme, imo more for the look than the practicality. Though great cooling as well, but not necessary.

Imo the minimum requirements Hartman lists are absolute nonsense.

I had a low-end mini-itx mobo that I would use sometimes earlier this year (it was one of those Intel BOX sets). It was much better spec'd but it lagged like stuff with more than a few thousand bricks-- and that really isn't much in BL.

The minimum requirement isn't playable at all. Its deceptive; technically you can run it but it isn't giving you the real experience.

Is there anywhere we can complain about players?

I have one in mind who has been continually causing clusters, slowing down to crash people, and targeting players including me repeatedly. Admitted to trolling twice.

There is no good reason to keep them there. The name was Redeyed or something weird.

If there is going to be admin presence it'd be good if they could get rid of obvious, self-labelled trolls.

Isn't RTB currently outdated anyway? Lots was broken last time I checked.

EDIT: Naw I just didn't update.

You can't really expect organization the way the entire race is set up. More of a derby than a race tbh.

Yeah, the course is also design flawed because everyone immediately tries to turn right out of the bat, causing a major pile up.

The start of the race should have 3 options to allow filtering and dissipation of drivers imo.

You can boot off of any storage device through USB on any modern computer.

USB hard drive or optical drive. Buy a disc and burn it, or pick up a cheap thumb drive-- it costs nothing.

I don't know about SD card booting.

There shouldn't be any situation in which you can't boot from a thumb drive. Its a bizarre thing to require.

Loathed Firefox since 2009.

Went down the plughole imo. Became really laggy and freezy on any computer I used it on. Then the Mac version started to really lag whenever handling dynamic content and Flash content. Ugh.

Today it hasn't changed. Waiii Firefox Waiii.

I have a pci-e 3.0 card and I have a pci-e 2.0 motherboard
it's rare to find 3.0 motherboards unless its intel ;-;

Maybe the cheaper ones, if you bite the bullet and pay more for an expensive Asus motherboard you'll get PCI 3.0.

My approach to building computers is apparently really unpopular.

I am more interested in spending money for a really nice, beautifully designed case and a solid motherboard and PSU. Its important to not cheap out on the RAM, and to stick to an Intel Core i5 processor or above.

However, I am more than happy to go with a cheaper graphics card so long as I get 40-60FPS at medium to high details on games. I feel this is an unpopular opinion to have, because most people get an AMD cpu and a cheaper mobo to factor in a high end card. I find it utter madness.

Imo the motherboard is the foundation of a good computer. Cheaper mobos will skimp out on special features, will perform less, and are more likely to die because of cheaper electrical components. They are also more likely to date because of not being on the cutting edge.

I am also against overdoing LED lighting, against people using SSD's unless they can practically budget it in (and only when requiring it for fast Windows performance, if you buy stacks of them for fun you are a moron).

Server is pretty good.

Vehicle physics are annoying, not your fault.

Worst part is people are selfish drivers. Everyone tries to push into the inner sides of the road even when there is clearly no room or there would obviously be a crash. Idiots.

There are some trolls, not a lot. Admins turn a blind eye.

Its not bad overall though. Best racing server I've seen so far.

The GeForce 7050 is a very, very old and incapable graphics card. Surprised you can run BL properly.

Thanks Port, now I understand.

I've fixed the speed in the save thanks to Rems values, in the future I'll be sure to be careful about how to use the projectile event.

I understand it was X Y Z for the first but then I was like, wat, why are there 2.
