Computer building, I am

I'm going to recommend a FanControlling Software for you guys, if you don't have one or hate setting your fans in BIOS. This is the most customizable fan controller I have EVER seen, and you can created different fan profiles, and all you have to do is right click on the tray icon, and switch profiles, depending on what you're about to. This program can be set to load up when you log into your PC, so it'll load in after you get to the desktop. I've used this program to create 2 gaming profiles, where each game heats the computer differently, and for daily. Originally, I just ran my fans hard all of the time, that way I could game without issues. Now I have my PC super quiet during non-gaming usage, thanks entirely to this program. This program is just a stress reliever. It takes a little bit to initially set up, because you have to make these graphs yourself, but that's the whole fun and advantage you get from this program: COMPLETE FAN CONTROL.

I have spoken to the creator of this program. When you download it, you can get the maker's email from the program, and you can email the maker any problems that you have. The maker is updating this program, so the program is alive and being kept updated and recent, so you'll still have support for newer system, for new problems, if you run across any. I just have to give the maker of this a huge shout out. This program is free, and it's totally worth paying for. So, if you guys download this, make sure to see if you like it, and if you do, I would definitely throw this person some money, only takes Paypal, and Buck doesn't use Paypal, so I'm trying to figure a way to give this person some money out of true appreciation. You gotta see what all you can do with program, there's so many fine tuning tools in here.

This is what my Fallout 4 profile looks like currently (I'm still messing with the game, subject to change):

Here's the link to download this software. This is the way I downloaded the program, which was like 2 months ago, or so, IIRC. He's already updated it 6 times since then.

That's it for now, time to enjoy my PC

Yeah, funny how that works.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with spying on you.

Trying to see if I can by chance get smart access memory to work between my CPU and GPU....couldn't, not supported yet on my 5700xt. I did update my BIOS (first update ever), updated all chipset drivers, everything. I turned on "above 4g decoding" and "resize bar support", which the point is too allow a bigger data transfer between the CPU and GPU. The newer PCIe systems, and with the fast processors, they seem to be able to transfer data fast enough, where they've had to come out with updates to fully embrace this tech. My GPU isn't supported yet, at least through my GPU software (believe me, I tried for like 3 hours to make it all work). You can supposedly get a 5-10% boost in FPS or just overall performance, simply because the CPU can communicate faster with the GPU (through the PCIe bus).

I'm too tired to test it yet, wtf why am I awake? Idk, Buck reasons, that's why. I did load in a game quickly, and I noticed the game loaded significantly faster. The game is set to load @ max FPS through modding and a script extender, so it allows my GPU to basically max clock during loading screens. So, any increase in GPU speed would 100% show up in the loading time, due to the fact that the GPU is literally maxed out, I mean I hit like 350 FPS on every loading screen.

To be continued.

*while I was in BIOS, I had to redo everything because of the setup, re-overclock my memory to 3600 mhz. There's some settings I left to off or on, that I didn't understand 6+ months ago when I first got done building this. Pay attention to those in the future, it's like having free speed, yo.

I would recommend you update your chipset drivers, MB bios, GPU drivers, etc. I did all of mine, now my CPU is running lower voltages to do the same thing, and it's staying literally 2-3C cooler now. That's amazing, I already thought being at 34-35C idle in a warm room was decent, now I'm seeing 31-32C. I opened up two programs to check, because honestly I didn't believe it. Now only if I could do that for my GPU.....haha. Radeon should just name their GPU's the "Radeon Fire Graphics."

Don't let anybody tell you differently-->>>> Computers are addicting. You should think very deeply about that, and what that means, and maybe how that is.

I just completely reinstalled windows 2 days ago and I needed an update today. I'm not sure I have words.

Every Tuesday is update day for them. Wait till Windows 11 comes out and they push that crap non-stop.

Wait until everybody has brain chips and TrustInstaller takes over your hardware because of an update.

Will any of you PC guys kindly state what the max temps are that you find comfortable to run all day long on your GPU? or for hours?

I feel comfortable with 70-75C, at the moment. My GPU typically finds itself around 60-75 degrees, depending on what I'm doing. Usually around 60-67 or so, will dip into the 50's if I'm "sitting" in a game, it'll usually top peak at 70C. It takes special circumstances to hit 75C. This is running lower frame rates with higher graphics. Cities isn't fair to compare, because the FPS is actually CPU limited, with the core usage of that game, so it doesn't max out your CPU during the whole game.

I only have 3 games. Cities: Skylines, Fallout 4, and the original Starcraft and expansion pack for it. I think designing boxes takes more power than running Starcraft LOL.

Fallout 4 at this moment (glitchiest game in the history of the matrix): I run 1440p, 16x anisotropic filtering, 8xEQ for Anti-aliasing, and 80% Radeon Image Sharpening. I have enhanced (type of vsync) sync on, so I run Radeon chill, which limits the FPS. I run 60 FPS when the PC has no input from me, and it'll cap at 72 FPS (half of my screen's max FPS @ 144hz). Running Fallout 4 in 144 FPS is possible, but with the graphics the way I have, it heats my GPU up to 90C or so. That's too much to run for hours, a bit too much. I'd have to water cool, I'm not running fans high enough to cool a 90C GPU, hell no. Fallout isn't really designed to run high FPS, because there's a lot of game speed factors that are based on FPS. Running 72 FPS is very stable and I usually stay below 70C in most situations, I float a lot around 60-68C or so, I have massive fields of depth, for Fallout. The way this textures lay over each other on this game causes really weird glitching on far away objects, because of the way the game loads in the layers or doesn't.

The game performance is really good. Zero stuttering and huge depth of field and huge visual uplifting, the game looks as good as a Fallout game is going to. This game was made by the laziest people on earth, it had to be. I'm dumb with this stuff, I'm just wild west-ing it, and I've even figured out better options for this game than the people who made it. It's ridiculous, that's why Bethesda or Zenimax got sold. F*ck you Todd Howard, you greedy liar. You made a mockery, a shell of your own game, because you're a cheap lying bastard.

But I was going to say I can run around with a minigun when I'm having a 50 bot vs 50 bot settlement war, and I can shoot explosive bullets everywhere with bots and turrets shooting, body parts flying all over the place, and I don't get any stuttering. The only time I got it to stutter was when I made like 200 turrets and all of them fired at the same time and I'm very suprised my computer didn't crash. It killed whatever was there almost instantly, like 30 people. My frame rate was so low I thought I froze my computer. But everybody died and my screen came back.

Hopefully you can use some of this info to have some better gaming or stress relieving time yourself. I like this little fake beautiful world I made on fallout 4, and I get to run around and shoot missiles at anything I want. You gotta have a powerful PC to run a game like Fallout 4 properly. I would never play this game on a console, ever.

If you're watching this, you c*cks*cker, I hope you can read this well.

I told you someone would either try to scam me or hack me based off my opinions and knowledge about certain subjects.

I just avoided a $2000 scam by a scammer or hacker pretending to be my bank. I just confirmed this with my actual bank. So, ladies and gentlemen, I really hope you understand the consequences of having free speech. I will never stop, you f*ckers can go to hell where you belong. You have no God inside, you are pathetic.


Here's the number where I received a fake alert that two transactions had been blocked by Regions Banking. If you guys want, feel free to call this number and see if you can sh*t talk these f*ckers. Don't do that- it might give them access to your device. I'm joking about calling them, don't do that, but understand how evil this is. They literally had Regions's ENTIRE ROBOT AUTOMATED SYSTEM SETUP TO SOUND LIKE YOU ARE ACTUALLY CALLING INTO THE BANK. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. THIS WAS DISCUSSED AT LENGTH WITH AN ACTUAL REGIONS BANKER.

THIS IS THE PRICE I PAY FOR LOVING MY COUNTRY. I WILL NEVER STOP.

This next number is the number that the hacker or somebody who worked for whoever is targeting me, this is their number:

1 (866) 423-2265 <- this is the number the person called me from. It's a Regions number. Ok, so I had a dude call me from a Regions number that was a scammer. That's how advanced this was. I confirmed with Regions through calling their actual number that there were no blocked charges on my account.

I bet they change their numbers all of time.

So, that person asked me for my PIN number over the phone. I do not give my PIN number to people over the phone, not my current, active one. I was asked for my pin number, I said no, I'll only give me PIN number directly to a local branch in person, and the call dropped.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS: SOMEBODY NOT FROM REGIONS CALLED ME FROM A REGIONS NUMBER, TRYING TO GET ME TO GIVE OVER MY PIN NUMBER. AS SOON AS I REFUSED TO GIVE OVER MY PIN, THE CALL DROPPED IMMEDIATELY. IMMEDIATELY. I SAID "I'M ONLY GIVING MY PIN TO A BRANCH IN PERSON." ANNNDDD THE PHONE CALL DROPPED.

This is like the 5th time this has happened to me since 2018 or so. I learned the hard way what was happening, how much control these hackers really have, and why me. Broke *** Buck, sick as f*ck, don't have any money, who is trying to steal my very small amount of money?

I'll give you a hint: it's not about money. This is targeting.

Hopefully me sharing this experience will help you understand how not to get scammed by advanced scammers. If they get anymore advanced, you might have to call them an agency. Hackers can rig your search results, they can completely create a fake internet to hook up your entire IP address to. If you notice small changes in your electronics, then please realize, often times, those aren't glitches. Somebody is in your electronics, or trying to get into them.

You need to understand how these f*ckers work, if you ever get targeted. Legally exercising my first amendment right to criticize the gov and hacking/scamming attempts always go hand in hand. I'm sure it's coincidental, and these were just opportunists.

They tried recently with me as well but with my CC. Thankfully the CC company caught it. I quickly cancelled all my cards and had them reissue new ones just to be safe.

Parents got hacked a few years ago they went to check their balance and saw a charge from Saudi Airlines for like 300 bucks. She worked at the bank at that time they were trying to hit.

This crap happens on the daily and sadly some people fall for it.

Yeah, it can be hard not to, under some circumstances.

I’ve been hacked to a point that any link I clicked on was to the scammers. Like if I searched on google, the hackers put all of their stuff in the links. PC, phone, FB, all messed with. Lost complete control of my FB and they were putting **** on it so I would get banned. Then they hacked my search results when I tried to find a solution. True story, I ate some sh*t on that one. Not fair when you suffer from migraines for months at a time. But that’s why I don’t have a FB account anymore, if anyone is wondering. I know zero about hacking, other than what I’ve seen in movies basically, and experienced personally. I’ve learned a lot because it’s happened a surprising amount of times for how poor I am. Like I’m so sick at one point my guts were rotting and I had a lot of red and white blood cells coming out and had migraines for months at a time. Fear of a colostomy bag and going gluten free turned my life around in a way. I’m 5’10” and almost don’t weigh 140 pounds when I used to weigh 190 about 3 years ago. But who the f*ck is trying to scam someone that barely gets out of bed on a good day? It’s not about money. I’ve never had money, because I have to lay down so much or I’ll eventually have a not seizure but seizure like event (they don’t know) if I don’t. Like I don’t have money, at all. And people try to get in my stuff.

I know I’m saying personal stuff here, to an extent. There’s a reason. I just want people to understand what’s going to happen if your body is ever connected to the internet, or we connect everything to the internet. There’s going to be nothing left of life. When everything is connected together like it is now, like people from across the world can get into your extremely private life. You aren’t stopping a corrupt local or any foreign gov and their quantum computers from hacking you. There’s absolutely nothing you can do about that. They compute so quickly that they’re close to being able to predict reality before it happens. That’s straight out of Sundar Pichai’s mouth (Google Head). They just need a few more qubits, he said.



This massive pile of human excrement, whoever this is, tried to hook my up card up to a Samsung pay account. Idk. I’m so glad I’m not these people, I wonder what’s it’s like to be a man with no obelisk?

I really like Battlefield. I went HAM on Battlefield 1. Like playing as a team leader with a team that actually follows orders is absolutely the best time you'll ever have. Like we actually had strategies and stuff, sosososo much fun.
