We are entering a dark era of gaming
>>748914016oh no not valorant!!!
>>748914016>playing online pvp e-sports trashyou get what you deserve
well then just wipe off the big [BANNED] stamp off the CPU and you're goodfucking idiotdo i have to explain everything to you myself?
>buying secondhandOnly thirdies do this
>>748914016>Your used CPU might come with someone else's Valorant banIt might, and I'd literally never find out.
>>748914016I've never been more glad to have been born before the year 2000
>>748914016Why would you buy second hand cpu? Its one of the cheaper parts and some retard could be selling their burnt out one.
>>748914016Who buys CPUs secondhand?
>>748914016What's the downside?
If someone's selling their CPU, you shouldn't want it either. It either turned out too low-spec for them, has something wrong with it, or was corporate use garbage.
>>748914257Realistically i can only see this happening if you buy someones entire rig secondhand.
>>748914265There's a chance you're preventing a Valorant player from being unable to play the game by buying the CPU instead.
>>748914016i could buy literally every single used CPU in existence and never encounter this issue because i'm not a bugman who plays riot slop
>>748914016hardware bans are anti-consumer
I don't play games with kernel level anti chest so it's not my problem
>buy used cpu>comes with someone elses bans>buy used gpu>it was ran through as a cypto mining rigBuy new.
>>748914426True, pro-consumer would be more aggressive. Cheaters should be tracked down, chained up naked outdoors and published in the news as subhumans never to trust for anything.
>>748914016CS but for trannies, oh nooo..
>>748914631They already are, they're called sex offenders.
>enteringThe dark era started in 2007.
>valorantnothing of value was lost
>>748914016i will now proceed to get banned on every CPU i intend to sell to prevent cattle from playing trash like this
>>748914745Kek this is best online poker game. Its a shame gambling games cant have any thing other than poker otherwise people wont play poker and just do the social aspects of it. Unfortunately I blew threw my large winnings on a couple losses and the idea of building back up is too off putting.
>>748914745Said the gacha fag, you hqve the worst taste in anything
>>748915019>he doesn't play pokerfateOH NO NO NO NO
>>748914223KEKKKthis
>>748914016wait how the fuck is this legal?
>>748915270it doesn't hurt corpos so it's fine
>>748914257Me. I got a 7600 for barely over half price and sold my 5600 and it almost cost me nothing for the upgrade. Bid on it on eBay. Sometimes you get lucky if you know what look for.
>buy second hand cpu>cant play valorantperfect for me, however i do fear the moment that other companies can just brick your shit for thinking you are a cheater
>>748915647Kosher!
>buying used cpuHuh...? Have poorfags really infested this place
>>748915270Just contact your seller and ask for a refund bro :^)
>>748917426>play a video game>get my 5090 flagged on OW servers>can't even resell the bitch because it's been hw banned on most multiplayer gamesfuture is here guys
not valorant!
>>748914016Whatever will I do without Valorant!!!
>>748914016>buy used CPU>its banned from valorant (read as piss shart the gameholy fuck thats awesome
>>748914016do cpus even die?my i5 is 10 years old and is still going strong
You can easily get around this, though. It’s impossible these days to impose a real ban on a piece of computer hardware, unless there’s some secret that intelligence agencies know about but the rest of the world doesn’t, or something like that.
>>748914016>build pc>money stolenMaster Race chads, care to explain yourselves?
>>748914257My pc is almost entirely secondhand parts.To be fair, the ram was in a package that was never opened & I had to replace the HDD with a new one last year (dodged a bullet there, m i rite?)
>>748918120Intel 13/14th gen had severe degradation issues.AM5 X3D keep blowing themselves up.
>>748914223LMAO
>>748918657No, seriously, how many parts weren't used and how long has it worked? I'm curious.
>>748914016Thats why kernel level anticheat should be illegal
>>748914223thisbased5pbpgottem/thread
>>748918889It's held up for 6 years now.Off the top of my head, the following is unused, and everything else is used.1. Case - was on clearance because phantex was discontinuing it.2. The additional daisy chain of fans I got for it.3. The stock cooler for my cpu4. The replacement hdd. Do not buy refurbished HDDs.5. Supposedly the ram. I doubt the guy went through the trouble of printing out new stickers to reseal that shit.6. Power supply. Considering I've been fucked in the past by these on prebuilts, I wasn't taking the risk.
>>748915095>6 players all using the same characterNice balance faggot
>>748914016I don't give a flying fuck, because any game that uses that shit, probably isn't worth playing.
>>748914106/thread
>>748914016Sounds like an improvement. I'm glad they're not charging extra for it.
>>748914389this is true lol
>>748914247>>748914257Upgrading my pc to AM5 with new parts would've cost me $1000. It was $500 to buy them used. If any parts I bought have problems I can return them for a full refund. They've been working with no issues for a year.>>748914325People upgrade and sell their old parts that don't have issues all the time. It's what I always do. No reason not to.
>>748914257MAKE BELIEVES REBORN
>>748918718>AM5 X3D keep blowing themselves up.kept getting melted by shitty motherboards*
>>748914016>friend wants you to play some pvp trash>now I can just lie and say I got a used CPU that was banned.Neat.
>>748914016Who the fuck plays valorant? Who the fuck buys used CPUs? This is like third world runescape bot miner issues.
