PC WORKSHOP

Hello, I will be cleaning my GPU soon. I have watched some videos about it. It seem I am gonna need some thermal paste and thermal pads. I have never did change them before. Could you please tell me which type of thermals shall I buy and any risks of cleaning the GPU?

I have a 3 year old 1080ti...

It is not necessary to change the thermo pad, it should only be done if the old ones are dried out or torn. The thermo pad in its normal state may be a dusty around the edges and a little all over, but it remains a little wet.

Thermal paste can even be changed every year, I recommend like many others "Arctic MX-4" in small syringes of 1-4 grams.

Usually disassemble the video card is not difficult, but should be done in a calm atmosphere and do not hurry anywhere. The only responsible moment is when you unscrew the four spring bolts around the video chip.

They must be unscrewed not one at a time, but gradually, so as not to break the crystal video card. In the disassembly video of your particular model, will be all - it is shown.

Thanks for the reply. I will not change the pads if they are wet tho I have not opened the car yet so I have no idea if they are still usable. I've searched for some pads, there are .5mm, 1mm or 2mm in thickness. Would you be able to recommend a pad for me too, incase I need to change them as well?

Thanks again for the quick reply.

@Tabitja

@Tabitja Good thermal pads that are easy to find and good quality are "laird" if not, get "arctic". The main thing is to choose the right thickness of thermal pads.

AIUI there's a thread bottleneck in CPU-GPU communication in DX11, this might be the limit that's stopping 8-core parts really shining. It's also interesting to see how the Ryzen 3xxx crushes the 2xxx, looks like a bigger advantage than the 15% that I recall being originally claimed.

Publication №10: How to extend the life GPU

A few days ago my Asus GTX 770 DirectCU II OC video card appeared artifacts and freezes, even while on the desktop. Usually - this happens due to the detachment of the crystal from the substrate. Today, I want to tell you about how to extend the life...

A useful post that'll maybe save some $$$ for someone!

People should def. keep an eye on temps (I use Open HW Monitor) & repaste when needed. Personally I don't bother with o/c, the difference isn't usually worth it IMO. I prefer lower settings to fan whine. With mid-range GPUs, a freesync monitor makes the most of what fps you have.

Potentially stupid question
I’m upgrading my RAM, by removing old RAM do I lose any files or anything like that or not
Thank you

Nothing of the kind will happen.

@AJIexander

@AJIexander thank you

HDD...

Good budget build, HDD missing? I'll mention that there's a "family" of MSI B450 boards with decent VRM and heatsinks.

B450 Gaming Plus
B450 Tomahawk
B450-A PRO <-- I got this
B450M Mortar (m-atx)

Obv. choose the Max version and make sure desired bling, form factor and ports are present, apart from that there's not much to choose IMO, just get the cheapest.

@Cilcain

@Cilcain The boards are really good, but now on computeruniverse for some reason the choice of motherboard b450 has been reduced

@AJIexander

@AJIexander Yes, I was afraid that availability might become a problem. pcpartpicker is helpful for finding the cheapest in-stock suppliers.

@Cilcain

@Cilcain Thanks for the information. I am just a resident of Ukraine and I am not at all familiar with how things are in Europe and America. And in Ukraine, as in Mordor, with the lord of the rings

*Fixed an optimisation issue with NPC pathfinding which led to a huge performance loss, especially in siege scenes.
*Fixed a memory leak issue.
Now we need a second test

Thank you for sharing uso

One thing I'm taking from this is that 12 cores isn't giving the advantage I'd expect. Maybe the engine hits diminishing returns by that point? Also Intel is clearly a partner to Taleworlds so there will surely have been more development/test focus on that architecture. Also maybe the CPU tests should have been done with low graphical settings.

@Cilcain

@Cilcain The problem may lie in Directx 11, the engine and not yet fully optimized. One of the developers once mentioned that there are processes that cannot be performed on several cores at the same time.

I have computer DELL G5 15, Nvidia GTX 1060 with max q design. 16gb RAM.

Even can play that game with very low settings, overheat and laggy every 7-10 sec. What is the problem can not understand.

I could not even play that game fluently in very low settings.

Please help me to fix it.

What is overheating, GPU or CPU or both? What are the CPU and GPU loads? On the face of it they should both be okay ... system cooling or power supply problem? I believe Dells are not always great in this area. Have you tried reducing display resolution as well as reducing quality settings?

I have reduced processor power used. Reduced it %70 from %100.
And fixed it. Now working in ultra settings without over heat

@jus7ic3

@jus7ic3 Then I suspect that either the CPU cooling or the system cooling may be inadequate, which has led to thermal throttling. Your solution will obviously cost you some of the performance that your CPU could deliver but at least it works now!

Thank you very much for your technical supports!

Early access is already very close. I just wanted to congratulate you on this great event! I wish your computers run Bannerlord on ultra settings and the game works as good as possible. As soon as the correct game tests come out, I will begin to release new builds. If you will be Interested...

Thanks for all your work and the info you've put together. It's going to be fascinating to see how well our ideas and expectations match the reality that will be revealed very soon now. Anyway I find it unfortunate that the group as rather poor visibility, which I think is due to the layout of the forum. Then again many of the questions people are asking cannot be answered definitively (so far) in any case.

Thanks for keeping up the good work!
Knowing what builds will be able to handle at what settings and FPS will most certainly be of great value.

Hello guys, I was wondering if this computer which I have found is a good gaming pc for Bannerlord, I suck at computer and I need help. This computer cost in dollars 870 $ and in euro around 800. Is this computer good for highest Graphics in Bannerlord. Sorry for my horrible English, I'm from...

Here get this instead:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07RL4K6CN/ref=ox_sc_act_image_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Upgrade it with another 8GB DDR4 3000Mhz ram:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07MNJN8BB/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A1LLZOUM6C4EQT&psc=1

This model is cheaper than yours and has a much MUCH better graphics card. The GTX 1660ti will handle most games at high settings.

@RoboSenshi

@RoboSenshi Are you sure this computer would be able to play at the highest Graphics?

@Genibollen

@Genibollen yes

Plus the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is comparable to an i5. It actually has the same amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 has more threads.

Aren't this working for very high. This should be enough?

https://www.netonnet.se/art/dator-s...5k1W7HjWG0DgCuBvCv2sZ2ELu4_AvtMaAgpLEALw_wcB#

@Genibollen

@Genibollen Yes that's sufficient but you should also buy an extra stick of ram to dual channel and another hard drive for adequate game storage.

The Graphics card is also great but the 1660ti still outperforms it and is generally similar in price. If you can find a rig with a 1660ti for even slightly more money, you should buy it.

@RoboSenshi

@RoboSenshi https://cdon.se/hemelektronik/gtsa-infinity-st-3-gtx-1660s-p47542335 . I have chosen this one, it's extremely close to the Amazon one. But it has an Nvidia 1600 S instead because of the 1600 ti, couldn't find one with a 1600 ti. I will surely add more game storage, but I'm not in the need of it right now.

That is some good deal finding right there!
I've been out of the gaming world for a couple years, but am coming back for bannerlord.
Any idea if a 144hz monitor would be worth the money combined with this build?
Edit: I plan on playing on quite high settings almost exclusively multiplayer.
Cheers

@AJIexander

@AJIexander my budget for the complete system with monitor is €1450.
I live in the Netherlands, not sure what sites are best for part acquisition.
My tendency is towards a good GPU for good graphics obviously, but knowing BL online battles with 200 players will be hard for a CPU also weighs quite heavily.
If possible I'd like to get a high refresh rate 1440p monitor. If that is too far fetched though, 1080p will do.

So I'm estimating the monitor will be €300 to €350, leaving €1100ish for the pc itself.
Very unsure as to what CPU GPU combination would be good for at high FPS and refresh rates at 1440p.
Any help would be appreciated.

@Berethorn

@Berethorn Given the power of your pc, I would stop at 1920х1080. A good example would be asus vg259q.

@Berethorn

@Berethorn Glad you rated it. If you reset your online store and budget, I will help you find something.

@Icewood

@Icewood Your assembly priorities are very strange. A lot of memory, a processor with an index of "x" and a 1660ti graphics card with redundant and not the highest quality side power Corsair.
Or do you work with graphics?

I need 32 g of ram for a specific game, and no I dont work with graphics, this build need to be for gaming recording gaming/streaming and editing after the fact.

@Icewood

@Icewood Usually people make streams using nvenc. That is, through gpu, and your video card is maximum suitable just for playing at high and sometimes ultra and certainly without a stream.

@AJIexander

@AJIexander so what gpu do you think I should get? The 32g ram is a must btw.

@Icewood

@Icewood Give me a budget and your online store. And yet, for what game do you need 32GB of RAM?And create a separate topic in the subforum of the group for comfortable communication.

@Icewood

@Icewood My opinion, no matter what game you build, the assembly is unbalanced.

why go for the b360 and not the b450?

@Icewood

@Icewood Maybe you meant B365
