To computer specification kings

Hola frands,

Since i'll probably be playing the new server, i figured i'd buy a new computer. What part of the computer should I focus on when considering playing l2? Is it the graphic card? the processor?

thanks.

ssd for sata3 and nice oc on cpu, thats all u need to play on decent fps

[c1ashpwnz]

ssd hd cost quite a lot tho, what capacity would I need i your opinion?
don't tell me a good graphic card isn't a must

60gb for system/l2 is more then enough, and if it comes to gpu it just shouldn't be wooden (so it wont bottleneck cpu), cuz most likely modern graphic cards will stay idle while playing l2

[Tazman]

like kornes said ssd 60gb for system and l2, cpu with as much ghz as you can + 4gb ram to avoid loadings after tp, graphic card can be for 20euro and its ok for GF.

intel pentium 4 is the best option

Solid Mobo and PSU + what kornez said above

Voltage section should have at least 8 phases for cpu and 2 for ram, and ofc they should have solid heatsink
PSU with at least 400W at 12V rail from best brands like OCZ, Corsair, XFX

if ur building new PC and think only about L2 pick some passive GPU or very quiet and cold like some hd 7570

cheap and trustable ssd for ya

os, lineage and some programs , 60gb is enough

yep, in case topic author would want some more clarify, i attach how PWM circuit generates signal for each phase:

this is very important !

watching this image i think overvoltage protecion is not enought so i wouldnt buy it, thx kornes rly helpfull.

intel core i5 2500k OC to 4.8 mhz+some good FAN for it
Good motherboard +good case for OC
average VGA
64 GB SSD
.

Thanks a lot you guys, very helpful even tho i didn' really understand the 8 phases right off the bat. I do know operational amplifier and logical gates but i wouldn't know how to calculate the Vout tensions in this circuit. how can u tell it won't be enough?

i'll look into that in detail tomorrow based on you recommandations.

take the most expensive one. will be good for sure

ofc it will

















































not

[Mrkiller]

it always does

[iAlexandruuu]

SSD with 30 GB it's ok??=\

[50c]

if ull clean up it weekly it will be ok for win 7

[iAlexandruuu]

i use windows xp

you might aswell say nothing.

Just get what i recomended and be happy, everything else woul't give even 5% diference in FPS even with 4 time price diference, also don't take processors on ivy bridge, they are harder to OC and their work temperature is higher. same going 2.6k wont give any advantage except HT that total useles for playing l2. As for me i have good MSI motherboard with 10 year varanty and good OC options  +everything also not bad, since i dont use pc only for l2. At Tauti update at last siege like 100x100 i had fps 15-25 with no SSD. In gracia final last time i played on this PC i was 5 boxing and doing siege 200x200+ without any lags from PC side, FPS was very high even on full resolution, but that time i had 17 inch monitor, now it is 23,5 and FPS kinda much lower.

Win 7 is bad form what i heard ....

[kornez]

you can move users folder to the other disk to save a lot GBs, but it will also slow down system sometimes.

win xp FTW ;p

OT: i wouldnt ever take MSI mobo for OC purpose, almost every AM3 and a lot lga 1155 are failures with their bad power stages

[c1ashpwnz]

ok thanks, i'll do that.

I'll look into that and list the potential parts i'll buy and you'll give me your opinion on those.

you were all very helpful, thank you mates.
