Advice for PC players

Post » Sun Nov 29, 2015 8:49 am

If you are on pc and you either ALT+TAB or use the Winsows key to use your browser etc, you need to be careful, if you keep hearing the game in the background while on your desktop then GO BACK to your game and repeat the process until you cant hear the game while browsing or in the desktop.

WHY?, well because if not for some reason the game starts overheating your GPU, making it work like crazy, my card starts even doing a weird sound when this happens and then i check my temperatures and they start going up consistently when in this state and it calms down when i make sure the game dosent sound in the desktop, so be careful about this.

Please don't. Just don't.

ALT + TAB can't overheat your GPU. Overclocking does.

Id have to see actual test numbers before Id believe this.

Unless there is some crazy programming error, why would your GPU suddenly go full throttle?

Yeah. This doesn't happen. I've been constantly Alt-Tabbing and I don't have this issue.

When is the last time you opened up your rig and cleaned it? Or defragged it?

I havent overclocked anything but dont believe me try it yourself.

Well im not gonna make a video about this because i dont want my GPU to blow up.

Just because it didnt happened to you dosent mean it cant happen, maybe you havent noticed it, but dont go with your "yeah, it dosent happen" when to me it does, so like you said YEAH, THIS HAPPENS.

I clean my PC every 2 weeks.

Since everybody become hostile just because i pointed out something that may or could happen to you TRYING TO [censored] HELP im done,i hope someones pc dies to this [censored] so you can see this does happen.

If you can't provide any actual data, why would anyone believe you? You do know how ridiculous that sounds right?

I have an alien in my backyard. But I can't show you cuz he's camera shy. You'll all see when his friends enslave all the humans.
