The older stuff from Razer is good but dunno what they did after 2015 quality went down
quaint topaz
Charging a premium on poor build quality and subpar customer service.

I hate how loud most Razer mechanical keyboards are, just obnoxiously loud like "HAHAHAHA LISTEN TO ME IM TYPING"
proud trellis
i have razer green switches and u cant rlly hear them on discord as i changed my settings in voice settings a bit which saved me
when i clip things tho u can hear it loudly cuz there is no settings
latent light
I like my super quiet tactile switches
proud trellis
if i ever decide to get a new keyboard i will probs go for something that sounds nice but isnt loud if that makes sense
i think its tactile that are the quieter ones isnt it ?
latent light
Feel of a keyboard click is more important for me than the sound
molten coral
I really like Logitech's switches, I think the click is just satisfying
proud trellis
logitech switches are the romer-G arent they ?
molten coral
ye
supple bane
they do romer g and GX switches
mine are GX
more traditional style mechanical switches instead of the proprietary stem
proud trellis
there was a vid i watched ages ago and it had either romer-G or GX blue switches and it sounded so nice
https://youtu.be/WHKngZTqAqo?t=25 these ones
it was GX blue
molten coral
I really like everything about the G815, especially the low profile.
proud trellis
low profile is them flat switches arent they ?
supple bane
i agree with what grim said tho. feel is way more important that sound
i cant even hear my keyboard with my headphones on so it doesnt matter to me
molten coral
it's pretty flat @proud trellis
proud trellis
i can only hear my switches when im not in a vc
proud trellis
it's pretty flat <@!779429414328074250>
that looks rlly weird for some reason
do low profile keycaps have special switches or something ?
supple bane
half the height and double the price 
molten coral
I mean it has an aluminium frame, ''new'' switches just made for this keyboard and is half the height. Overall this keyboard feels really premium.
supple bane
i was messing. i know that keyboard is a good keyboard
i too spent a premium for a logitech keyboard and i havent looked back
could have gone for the hyper x alloy for half the price. but im so glad i didnt. nothing ive ever used even in a store beats the build quality of this keyboard
proud trellis
i looked at some logitech keyboards a few days ago and they all look decent quality but some were a bit pricey
i feel like every website has a few pricey keyboards tho tbh
supple bane
Typing on it is sublime. It's weird because it has a metal deck, so you would expect it to be sharp and ringy to type on. But its not. Its kinda soft
Not spongey, but soft
Instead of the bottom out being a "dink" it's a "duh"
proud trellis
low profile switches look like they would piss me off for some reason
just the fact that they are really skinny i feel like they would come off half the time the way i type

digital hill

pulsar smelt
Are you sure you got the cooler tightly attached to the motherboard?
Yes
opaque saddle
Is the fan working
pulsar smelt
Yes, cause temps goes stabilized on 78-80c
digital hill
is your thermal paste application correct?
since sometimes not applying it correctly could lead to high temps
opaque saddle
Or too thick
digital hill
not using enough or using too much causes high temps
wait let me ask you one thing before you open your pc back up did you put your fan in silent mode in bios?
modern gull
Compound should matter more than application method. And to much shouldn't really matter that much either after you tighten cooler. It will mostly just be messy to clean up.
pulsar smelt
Well, my case is a “gamer” cause have rgb... just kidding guys... So, idk how can I explain, but actually I am playing without coolers

You dont really have any other fans in the case?
pulsar smelt
And one of the sides is made by tempered glass

No

Having extra fans will help. But if i understand the measurements of your cooler its pretty small
Its like 92mm
digital hill
@pulsar smelt Can you take a picture of inside your pc?
modern gull
I think he might need to buy another cooler if he wants lower temps, maybe a good 120mm cooler.

The cooler is decent though shouldn't be 78c maybe 50-60c
modern gull

@molten bramble @dry pike Length of experience aside, I am by no means an expert when it comes to the nuances of computer hardware. That being said, I did run the Memory Diagnostics Tool (as well as the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool) and it reported back no issues. Knowing that, does it change your mind about memory issues? Could it have returned a false positive for good results, so to speak?
As for the temperature, Hydra, that ranges between high 30s celsius and high 50s or mid 60s while gaming.

windows logs under application or system is most likely
you need to know the exact time of the crash though

I just opened the game to let it crash. Given the order of events in the logs, I assumed it would be at the top. It seems to go in that order.

depending on the crash there might or might not be something in there

Judging from the time stamps, I unfortunately have to say there isn't.

Something you wrote in the forum sticks in my head:
You say; "Finally, I switched the audio to War Tapes. For one reason or another, this let me load into a session and start to play".
Then you say; "It freezes, the audio cuts and momentarily returns, and then it crashes to desktop.
Once again I suggest try updating mother board audio drivers...Or try running sound on minimum.
I had the very same issue playing the game Squad. I could play for awhile until I encountered some explosions or a lot of suppressing gunfire. My game then froze at first had an audio loop then it crashed...I assumed the audio information overwhelmed my system with data. I turned audio down to minimum in game settings and was able to play normally.

It still run BFV but it is slow
weak girder
you want to know what the best possible pc is nowadays?
rtx 3090, i9 10900k, 64 gigs of ram
opaque saddle
Still using it today which I bought like 5 years ago
fallen harbor
a multiplayer shooter isn't the same as a singleplayer RPG imo
there's a fundamental difference there when it comes to specs
idc if I run rdr2 or cyberpunk at 30fps, but I will never want to play battlefield with less than 60fps
and a lot of people play these games on less than 30fps and don't even notice
i know somebody that ignored my suggestions and got an i3 9100f with a gt1030 and unironically believes he has a monster killer PC
and says warzone flies on it
ofc he doesnt know what "frames per second" are
and he gets around 20fps on it
then you have the opposite type of dumb people who say they have a "shitty old gtx1070" and unironically say "at least it's good enough to play old indie games like undertale" and want to get a 3070

yeah its annoying people who upgraded their 1080 ti to a 2080 ti, like dude...
fallen harbor
most people really seem to ignore the most important thing when it comes to analyzing what hardware to get
which is quite literally just watching benchmark videos
people that have tons of money just go for the most expensive because they dont need to waste any time into watching benchmarks
and people with little money feel usually overwhelmed by the concept and refuse to understand anything and will believe the first thing they see and do very poor investment decisions
weak girder
but if you run games at 144 fps with very good graphics why do you want to upgrade?
fallen harbor
because it's new and everyone talks about it
nobody needs a 3090 but it's new and everyone talks about it
so it must be good right???
my thing is trash compared to it!
weak girder
well it is good but who tf needs it
fallen harbor
nobody
weak girder
people who run 3 games at once lol
fallen harbor
only people that dont know shit about fuck
plucky token
weak girder
my thing is trash compared to it!
my system is considered low end when it can achieve 60 fps at medium and high graphics
fallen harbor
yeah same
i have an i5 8400 and rx590 and 16gb ram and there's almost nothing that i cannot run in 60fps in high settings
in 1080p
weak girder
the 2070 s is considered med range....

similar to me
i5 8400, gtx 1060, 16gb ram
fallen harbor
ye
people that go for the most expensive without thinking about it are the minority anyway obviously
since most people in the world obviously can't afford it
weak girder
yeah most people who upgrade to a high end pc come from a low end or med low end
fallen harbor
but people that dont have much money also make shit decisions like the one i mentioned that got a 1030
weak girder
idk about where you live but there isnt a massive price difference between the 1030 and a 1650s
fallen harbor
same here
also the 1030 is obsolete tbh
would rather just get a 3400g if i wanted something of that quality
weak girder
also the 1030 is obsolete tbh
the damn 750 ti is better lol
fallen harbor
the 3400g integrated graphics are better than the 1030
and you also get a cpu
so, really obsolete
weak girder
yeah there isnt a real point in getting it tbh
I wonder if I should upgrade to a 1660 ti since it costs 280 rn
opaque saddle
I think 1660ti is… slow
weak girder
fallen harbor
you have high standards dingo
opaque saddle
I know. I used that that app when I was in Hong Kong
Even my gpu is slow for the res I’m using
plucky token
iam not allowed to say anything
weak girder
its still a 2070s...
weak girder
iam not allowed to say anything
why?
opaque saddle
Yeah but it runs 90fps in BFV only
plucky token
i do consider 1660ti etc as low end cards for Business pc's
weak girder
weak girder
what are these massive standards
plucky token
the others are lower end gaming cards
opaque saddle
I have a 960 and I use that for my idling machine
fallen harbor
we are not talking about business pcs though?
weak girder
why is 1440p ultra 144fps now considered the standard
fallen harbor
well, 1050
there's a big difference between 1050 and 1660ti when it comes to gaming performance
opaque saddle
Well… I have set everything to low
fallen harbor
why is 1440p ultra 144fps now considered the standard
it's considered a standard only within like 0,05% of the population lmao
weak girder
1080p 60 fps suits me
opaque saddle
Coz 1080p 144hz monitors are cheap to get

plucky token
i know that my 240hz 1080p was like 750€ when i bought it
fallen harbor
getting a 144 monitor isn't the same as getting a pc suit to make use for it, which snowballs in price. It's really not a standard
weak girder
i know that my 240hz 1080p was like 750€ when i bought it
do you get any real benefit from 240hz?
plucky token
for my feeling, ye
opaque saddle
I actually think not as much
plucky token
depends on the person behind it
opaque saddle
60 to 144 has a bigger gap
plucky token
true

Multiple monitors is nice to have
plucky token
oh yes

Not necessarily

my dad was like... mimimimi why multiple monitors mimimimi

Apple released their first 30” 2560x1600 display back in 2004

i thought about replacing those 60hz 1080p with 2k 144hz monitors
opaque saddle
And we are still using similar res 15 years later
plucky token
but i havent found the right one yet
opaque saddle
Depends on whether you want >sRGB 100% coverage
weak girder
And we are still using similar res 15 years later
its more 4k and 5k now
opaque saddle
its more 4k and 5k now
“We” are using 1440p tho
No…
SRGB
has nothing to do with RGB
opaque saddle
I keep my 1440p display coz it has 96% P3 coverage
The colour looks nice
In contrast the QLED display that I have did a terrible job showing red or purple texts. It looks really blurry
plucky token
and i need to watercool the whole pc at some point
but thats gonna cost me alot..
opaque saddle
i dont care of watercooling. i reckon air cooling is much easier to maintain

I had a great experience with shadow virtual pc so I hope this is better having a physical unit
supple bane
i believe it will perform slightly better than what shadow offers, maybe 5% ish
although latency will be much lower obviously
shadow gives you a 1080 and 4 core cpu i think, so much more cpu power and slightly more gpu power
quick locust
Yeah plus you can be sure to keep having your own pc
While shadow is in financial troubles currently

So since BFV is available for free as a PS plus game, I was looking to download it and play it. But it won’t let me download the full game since I downloaded the Trial of BFV that they were doing for about 2 weeks when the pacific DLC came out, it just says that I already own the game and thus cannot download it off the psn store. But when I re-downloaded the trial version it says I don’t have access to the full game since it’s only a trial. Anyone ever have a similar issue ? I was told to try and deselect my console as the primary console so I’m gonna try that after re-downloading the game.
