Best Compression Methods for 'Specific' Games. Q&A

[K4miKaZe]

Posting this game with 2 methods, with and without 4k videos. For testing i only used the without 4k version, it doesnt have much difference in install and compression time, also size is about 3.35gb more with 4k.

Title:          Quantum Break
Version:        Steam Edition v1.0.126.0307

PC:             4 Cores 3.9GHz (up to 4.3GHz) + 8GB Ram + SSD

Ripped Files:   Leaved English only (removed de,sp,it,etc... on data folder)
                On the 2k version i removed all videos with _4k.bk2 extension

Original Size:  68.9 GB
Compressed 2K:  25,7 GB (Ripped 4k bink videos & languages)
Compressed 4K:  29,1 GB (Only ripped languages)

Method:         Binkpack on .bk2 files 
                srep:m3f+lolz:d128:mc1023 on rest of files

Compress Time:  10 hours 30 minutes (38396.89 sec)
Install Time:   21 minutes

CRC Checked:    Yes

Note:  
Its safe to use this game without 4k videos if you dont play at 4k resolutions,
i have ripped them already when i made my full playthrough

From now on i will post my following games this way, should be easier to read...
Next game: Hitman 2016 !!!

if you use srep:m3f:a2 you will get 29.4gb...
if you use srep:m2f:a4 you will get 30.5gb...
the main difference between srep:m2 and m3 it save ram in decompression and if you limit srep to 2gb it less temp files it create during installation...
***better to wait for razor to update xtool for most cpu afr 100% well make the cpu fan like jet engine...

Nice, i think actually that with your m3f settings and using binkpack you get this to 29,1 or something. As i thought, there is not much difference in using d64 or d128 on lolz (only 200-300mb or maybe less).

About the heating problems, Intel chips without delidd are very hot itself due to the cheap thermal paste intel adds to them (hope they go back to the 2600/2700k times). The cooler is very good and should match similar results than watercoolers (at least aio coolers), i had one of this before i switched to water cooler. On compression its rare that it goes above the 42-45º Celsius (have no idea how much fahrenheit that is xD).

Again, thank you very much doofoo24 for posting this results !!!
