I was just wondering about how bad someone’s setup can be—and how far you can still climb with it.

My first rig on which I played valo was a 2012-15 build:

FX-6300 (6 cores / 6 threads)

8GB DDR3

GTX 960 2GB

Additional points:

The monitor was mounted above head level, so I used to recline and look up toward the ceiling.

My mouse was a cheap office one, and I didn’t even have a mousepad—so I used powder to reduce friction.

The keyboard sat on my knees/thighs because there was no proper table(the monitor was high on the wall, and the mouse was far to my right on a wooden dining table.)

I was getting around 40–80 FPS with lots of fluctuations, and I managed to climb to Diamond 2—with a lot of struggle and camping.

Comment down yours-

I want to overclock it to potential where I can actually see a marginal difference in fps. I have 32gb 6000mhz ram with r7 7700x overclocked to 5.4ghz . My pc has 12 additional fans including 2 of cpu and 3 of aio, usually my gpu stays at 80° under full load. Tell me how do I overclock it and I don't wanna install anything too complicated. Just want a simple safe setting template

This post isn’t some deep lecture—just a little moral boost… or maybe just some virtual emotional support lol. But seriously, guys—you don’t always have to stress about ranks, hitting that high elo, or getting those perfect ace clips. Yeah, I get it. That adrenaline rush, that moment of peak satisfaction—it feels amazing. But you know what feels even better? Peace. Fun. Memories. I could make this super long, but I won’t. Just think about it like this— You drop 3 aces, you outperform your teammates, your duo, your whole 5-stack… and still lose. You get frustrated, maybe even blame the game. And even when you do win? After a few days, there’s not much to remember. It just fades. Now imagine something else— That one chaotic, hilarious night with your friends. The dumb jokes. That one stupid play you knew had a 1% chance of working… and it failed miserably. But instead of tilting, everyone just bursts out laughing. Those are the games that stay with you. Not for a day. Not for a week. But for years. 10 years down the line, you won’t be talking about your rank or that clean one-tap. You’ll remember the stupid smokes, the random knife attempts, the terrible plants… and how much fun you had doing them. In short: Having a competitive spirit is great—but don’t let it take over you. Let the game be a way to connect, to laugh, to create moments with your friends… not just a grind for rank. Because at the end of the day, the best games aren’t the ones you win— they’re the ones you feel.
