staying akg

ancient jasper
#

you can get like a $10 shock mount

#

and it's fine

pale sigil
#

get a snowball

wraith cove
ancient jasper
#

absolute waste tho

wraith cove
#

Its worth it πŸ˜ƒ

reef patrol
#

Now now people. Don't walletshame πŸ˜„

wraith cove
#

the PF80 Only comes with AKG C414s otherwise

ancient jasper
#

Why the fuck have you bought a $50 pop filter?

wraith cove
#

its even less in pounds

ancient jasper
#

and what

#

AND WHAT

reef patrol
#

Jarva... πŸ˜›

ancient jasper
#

What

reef patrol
#

Walletshaming. You're doing it. Let people enjoy their purchases ablobbounce

ancient jasper
#

It's not wallet shaming, it's just trying to consult a better use case for $

zenith mirage
#

My pop filter was like a fiver i think

ancient jasper
#

there's 0 difference between a $5 popfilter and a $50

reef patrol
#

Aside from the mount? Sure I agree. But I have 6 shelves worth of keyboards I can never realistically use at once... and I still enjoy the purchases πŸ˜‰

ancient jasper
#

Sure, but that's a bit different, on a functional level there's no difference between a $5 and $50

#

even on an aesthetic level

pale sigil
#

takes it back

reef patrol
#

I dunno... these boards are pretty similar on the basic level. I poke a key, it types a letter πŸ˜„

hey I have been playing withtmy wooting for a while and I was wondering if theres a way to make odler game like cod 4 to use the liner movment of the wooting

pale sigil
#

@timid chasm

timid chasm
#

that does seem quite annoying

pale sigil
#

AA Batteries

#

in 2018

timid chasm
#

not built in rechargeables?

pale sigil
#

nope :/ on any vr headset

timid chasm
#

I mean I have a bunch of AA rechargeables but that's definitely dumb

pale sigil
#

im gonna have to invest

#

it costs around 5 quid a pop

timid chasm
#

I'd say mine paid for themselves within 2 months of not sooner

#

was playing a lot of xbox and PC games with xbo controller at the time

errant bloom
#

The vive wands are rechargeable

pale sigil
#

@errant bloom Ye, BUT CAN YOU DO THIS

errant bloom
#

What?

pale sigil
#

Grab shit and actually grip for it

#

NOOOOO

errant bloom
#

Yes

pale sigil
#

NOOO

#

Wands are shit

errant bloom
#

With the grip buttons

pale sigil
#

Yes but you dont grib shit

#

You hold a wand

#

and press a button

errant bloom
#

You close your hand

pale sigil
#

With a wand

#

Not a grip

#

Vive wand is absolute shite

errant bloom
#

Likr gripping around something

pale sigil
#

ye like gripping a wand

#

I can actually use my hand properly

#

not hold a wand

#

With finger motions too

#

Sensors on it

#

Knuckles aren't out yet

errant bloom
#

Oh boy, here I start discussing with Callum

pale sigil
#

so i can still say shit about vive wands

#

xD

errant bloom
#

Sure, sure

pale sigil
#

touch > sticks

errant bloom
#

I litterally can't manage to use the Touch controllers

pale sigil
#

How

#

You are a monster/

errant bloom
#

They don't fit my hands at all

pale sigil
#

HOW

#

Im a fat fuck and they fit me fine

errant bloom
#

I can't reach the grip button.. because my hands are to small

pale sigil
#

xD

#

Thats

#

hilarious

#

My lil sister can use them

#

Hell my lil cousin who is 4 can use them

errant bloom
#

So i have to use a weird angle to reach the grip and the buttons at the top

#

I don't know why

pale sigil
#

xD thats aodrable

errant bloom
#

I just can't f*** manage to use them, it is kinda annoying

#

I don't have that small hands

pale sigil
#

you will probably not like knuckles then

errant bloom
#

I really hope i will like them because they look awsome

pale sigil
#

Aye they do

#

But honestly, i really dont like vive wands.

errant bloom
#

With ability to completely open your hands

#

Yeah, I can see why you don't like them

pale sigil
#

You can do that with touch

#

haha

#

Touch just does not track all fingers

#

touch has sensors

errant bloom
#

You need to hold the controllers or you drop it

pale sigil
#

Oh you mean that, knuckles strap onto you ye

#

they look awesome but i really dont see a huge need for them

#

apart from just fixing their shitty wands

errant bloom
#

So much hate

pale sigil
#

Ask most vive users

#

they agree

#

Oh wait

#

No

#

Knuckles are the same

#

if you let go they fall ofd

#

its the same with touch... it can rest in your hands without grip

errant bloom
#
#

Just the headline picture

pale sigil
#

Ye i knew i remembered them

#

But still

#

touch you can let go

#

btw knunckles are a million times better

#

not denying this

#

xD

errant bloom
#

I like the wands in games where you can hold a weapon like a sword or rifle, but for the "experiences" it really breaks it

pale sigil
#

ugh

#

i find it meh

#

Oculus touch its like im actually holding shit

#

tho swordplay ill admit

#

wands are better

#

And when holding a grip in shooter games with my left hand

#

i wish i had wands

#

wont deny this

errant bloom
#

For just picking up the ball in Echo Arena the wands are kinda shit

pale sigil
#

But other than swordplay

#

touch are perfectly positions

#

positioned

#

especially for pistols

#

omg its perfect

#

Fun fact, there is a mod out there that lets you use a kinect as body tracking, it also allows you to use custom controllers.

#

For example you can use PSVR controllers on vive or oculus

errant bloom
#

I have been looking for the adapter for the kinect to PC, but it is freaking expensive

#

atm

pale sigil
#

Ye

#

I need to lend one off uni xD

#

He said i can borrow one, a kinect.

#

But its effort bringing shit home when you have to comute for 3 hours

errant bloom
#

I can see that one

pale sigil
#

Plus the software costs like 20 euro

#

trial version of it is like 15 minutes every week

errant bloom
#

compared to the adapter thats nothing

pale sigil
#

and this time includes calibration

#

And im aware

#

just buy a new kinect

errant bloom
#

Still need the adapter cable to get it to work with Windows

pale sigil
#

Yes buy one with power adapter

#

Kinect 1 i mean

errant bloom
#

Ah

pale sigil
#

Kinect 2 dont bother

#

Kinect 2 has some flaws with Windows unless you get Kinect 2 for windows

errant bloom
#

The kinect 1 is till pretty expensive

pale sigil
#

Like 15 quid secnd hand

zenith mirage
#

I'm pretty sure kinect 2s cost that much at one point

#

I think i still have mine back home somewhere

errant bloom
#

Does all versions work with Windows or do you need the special Windows Developer Kinect?

pale sigil
#

Kinect 2 you have to open up.

#

And do some soldering

#

Unless you buy Kinect 2 for Windows 10

errant bloom
#

Thinking about the Kinect 1

pale sigil
#

Kinect 1 just needs the power adapater, this is very important

#

it converts it to usb

errant bloom
#

Do the off brand power adapters works as intended or are they just bad?

pale sigil
#

Not a clue

errant bloom
#

Krakens don't fit my head at all. Had both versions.

timid chasm
#

head too big or headset too big?

reef patrol

It's more about the head shape. It never settles properly - It's an issue I have with most headphones. So I feel rather lcuky that my Sennheisers fit like a glove.

Massdrop HD650(6XX) 200

no one is paying 400usd for a hd650, doubt I would pay 300. It can be found on places like Avexchange or ebay from shops like renewlogic for like ~200usd depending on condition, etc.

I’m talking new

Street price for a new pair of HD650s are under 400. You can get open box β€œnew” ones off of eBay for sub 300. But my experience with eBay is 50/50 so idk. I don’t know about used 650s though.

And an extra switch puller

reef patrol
#

Hm... I need a new monitor... Just sold off my workshop 4K monitor (thank god - I hated that thing)

timid chasm
#

why did you hate it?

reef patrol
#

Several reasons but the primary one was that Windows would detect it as 4K and auto change into 4K resolution every time I'm installing Windows on a PC...using a GPU that can definitely not do 4KΒ©60hz, so it would run at 30hz and with tiny windows.

timid chasm
#

yeah that sounds pretty horrendous

#

I don't get the attraction to 4k esp since gaming at 4k is pretty unrealistic atm

#

and I sure as fuck don't get 4k laptops

reef patrol
#

1440P is my jam.

timid chasm
#

yeah, see I get that. You can do 1440 at high frame-rates

#

God it's insane how much gpu prices have gone up

at one point I paid $143 for a 1060 3gb and now they're like 280, wtf

#

I didn't even pay 280 for the 6gb version!

zenith mirage
#

Yeah the price of GPUs give me the fear whenever mine has issues

I have no desire or capacity to replace mine so hopefully it holds on for a while longer

amber ridge

what are the black switches doing?

#

amber ridge

#

when the american police stops shooting them

amber ridge
#

@digital cliff is there an update about the switches?

solar hinge
#

but it should be in march

#

they'll start producing it then

#

because of chinese new year messing with everything

#

(chinese new year takes up to 2 weeks starting the 15 february)

#

buying just cartboard right now = 300% more than general

amber ridge
#

k. because i'm interested in them. otherwise i'll take reds and replace all the springs πŸ˜‰

reef patrol
#

Black switches are basically like the reds, but a tad more heavy.

amber ridge
#

thats what i'm aiming for. it want to capture the force the user pushes on the keyboard. and i think my results will be better if its harder to push the button.

#

and set it to direct actuation. like if you barely touch the key, it says "im actuated" send my keycode!

#

and the rest of the keytravel will be wasted force which i want to measure. but when i have my reds here, im always slamming to the bottom, so i have to make it harder xD

solar hinge
#

250gram springs it is

amber ridge
#

xD can you even type on it?

#

i mean if i only actuate for 1/5 of the hight, does the wooting recognizes it?

#

or what is the minimum actuation depth?

#

ok. could you go more in detail?

#

and whats the whole travel path?

amber ridge
#

1.5 mm - 4mm? is that my range?

#

@digital cliff ?

#

if so. i need an spring where 1.5 mm corresponds to 45g (reds?). so 30g/mm leads to 120gram springs xD.

#

uh. ah. nice idea. are there nonlinear mx springs?

amber ridge
#

well when you push a regular key, the force with which you push is directly dependant of your depth you want. so at 0% you need to apply 0g, at 50% you need 22,5g and at 100% you need 45g.

#

thats a linear key. on a nonlinear you would have more like a parabole.

amber ridge
#

no i'm more thinking of a magnet like behaviour.

#

the closer they come the harder are they to get even closer xD

#

the harder they ARE to get even closer.

zenith mirage
#

I think a spring that would imitate the behaviour of a magnetic switch

#

I'm not versed enough in switches to offer any assistance but I quite like the concept

amber ridge
#

@digital cliff indeed i did, but there are no nonlinear switches.

#

yes. springs. sry

Hmm selling my 6600k and motherboard I could go for a 7700k that will cost me Β£170 for an oc board and well the cpu thonking

I'm actually a bit surprised on how useful the detachable cord, but the keyboards I had before W1 did not have detachable (Razer Chroma).

timid chasm
#

Might just have to go with some meh wireless kb or something. It's just for the wife to play from a distance while the laptop is on the tv

#

Trying to convince her to get a desktop instead of a low profile "gaming" laptop

#

Wanna spoiler her with that nice big picture instead of the constant heat and small screen

reef patrol
#

I genuinely don't understand why all keyboards aren't detachable. It adds next to nothing to the price and adds so much convenience.

timid chasm
#

it's amazing. I have like 10ft micro-usb cords that we use on al our controllers, my phone, and the wooting so I unhook and take it to her

#

insanely convenient

pale sigil
#

Anne pro

#

had once for months now

#

speak to me first

#

if you're planning on getting one

pale sigil
#

@timid chasm seriously there are some things you just know about Bluetooth keyboards

timid chasm
#

what do you mean

pale sigil
#

They suck, they are like a steam train, takes time for them to kick in, delays, spamming keys for the first 10 min

pale sigil
#

@reef patrol got any suggestions for mobos with oc for a 7700k

reef patrol
#

Any Z270 board really.

#

No need to go crazy

pale sigil
#

Ye I don't wanna go crazy but brands are brands

reef patrol
#

Definitely ATX or mATX though. mITX boards tend to cut down on the power delivery, meaning less (stable) overclocking.

pale sigil
#

I was thinking about going itx so that when I go for itx I'm ready for it

#

Oh

reef patrol
#

There ARE exceptions, but the rule of thumb is that they have to cut down somewhere.

#

But mATX is also pretty slim.

pale sigil
#

I have a corsair 350d atm

#

I was thinking about going Msi again for board

#

I love the bios ui so much

reef patrol
#

Hah. Funny. I tend to hate MSI the most, because I can never find the advanced stuff I need in their BIOS πŸ˜„

#

But to each their own. I use Gigabyte (AORUS) and ASRock at home atm,.

pale sigil
#

i moved away from msi gpus

#

gigabyte i hate

#

so much

#

never again

reef patrol
#

My 1080 is MSI. Doesn't really matter though, since the cooler is water now.

@reef patrol Do you have any clue why coaxial is used on motherboards these days

reef patrol
#

Wat? I have literally never seen a coax cable on a motherboard πŸ˜„

#

Do you mean the wireless antennas?

reef patrol
pale sigil
#

nothing

#

im sending as its one im looking at

#

What do you think

reef patrol
#

Tom's Hardware gave it pretty good Overclocking marks, and I've sold a bunch of them in the shop since Kaby came out. Have yet to see one come back and complain, unlike some of our other Z270 cards.

pale sigil
#

So you would suggest it then?

#

i just want to do nice ocs, nothing crazy

reef patrol
#

If that's what the budget allows for, I don't see any problems. You can maybe get 10% better OC with a slightly more expensive board.

#

Atleast with our prices.

pale sigil
#

suggest something then

#

bare in mind i need 4 USB 3 ports 100%

#

no less

reef patrol
#

The Gaming K3 would be about 20Β£ more, but has a bit better OC results from what I can tell.

pale sigil
#

Yanno

#

RGB

#

Is a no no

#

its also a full atx

reef patrol
#

Oh. Missed that.

pale sigil
#

xD if i had atx i wouldn't be coming here

reef patrol
#

So is your pick though πŸ˜‰

pale sigil
#

atx there are a lot more options

#

wait

#

wut

reef patrol
#

HD3P is full ATX.

pale sigil

linked the wrong one

thats the one i was meant to link

#

Why is amazon like shit round mine atm

#

all items are delayed till 5th march

but seriously

board looks awful q-q

reef patrol
#

There's only like 7 boards on the EU market.

Z270M Mortar
Prime Z270M Plus
Z270M Extreme4 (I had this one in full ATX with a 7700K. OC'ed well)
Z270M D3P
ROG STRIX Z270G πŸ˜›

reef patrol
#

3 and a USB C. Unless you use the front panel connector for another 2

pale sigil
#

Oculus cables πŸ˜‰

#

they wont work on front panel or usb 2

reef patrol
#

Sure they will - As long as the front panel PCB is actually USB3.

pale sigil
#

there is always bandwith issues

reef patrol
#

How? They are literally USB3.... anyhow.

#

You can get something like this. No PCB, just direct header access. Same as the back.

pale sigil
#

ye my front panel uses them

#

but its still fucking annoying

#

7700k i can get from aria for 260 nextday
movo from scan next day for 110

#

What is your actual opinion usb aside

reef patrol
#

Not any better than the D3H tbh.

pale sigil
#

There's only like 7 boards on the EU market.

Z270M Mortar
Prime Z270M Plus
Z270M Extreme4 (I had this one in full ATX with a 7700K. OC'ed well)
Z270M D3P
ROG STRIX Z270G πŸ˜›

#

give me best to worst

#

or is it that already

reef patrol
#

Just a random list. Don't have the time to grade them all in detail. At work πŸ˜„

pale sigil
#

Ugh most of them aren't sold

#

honestly my budget is tight

#

Z270M Mortar, Prime Z270M Plus, Z270M Extreme4

#

Which one would you pick

reef patrol
#

Extreme4. If only because I know firsthand how well the ATX version managed my OC

pale sigil
#

never thought id go back to asrock tbh

reef patrol
#

I ran mine heavily overclocked for about six months no problem. And my test rig uses an mITX ASrock.

pale sigil
#

or is there a difference

reef patrol
#

None. One might not be boxed and just in a plastic tray.

#

There is only one 7700K. No cooler.

pale sigil
#

tbh id get a 6700k

#

but more expensive

#

xD

reef patrol
#

Hehehe.

#

Getting a 8350K for a second rig. Delid and overclock it to perform on level with any i5 and i7 for 99% of games.

pale sigil
#

legit voice in the back of my head saying dont do it xD

reef patrol
#

I mean it's not going to be a huge difference from a 6600K under normal circumstances.

pale sigil
#

oh ik

shadow crystal
#

4.2GHz

#

dang

pale sigil
#
  1. Always wanted an I7 2. Im sick of heavy cpu games 3. im trying to help my cousin out
#

158.31 it would cost me

#

because he is buying

#

opportunity for me and one for him

reef patrol
#

The 7700K can usually hit around 5Ghz with some help.

#

Though an i3 or i5 would get higher.

pale sigil
#

seems intel isn't really making any progress

reef patrol
#

They haven't needed to for a long time. AMD's catching up.

#

Coffee Lake is a direct result of AMD's sudden attack. It wasn't supposed to be out until 2018

pale sigil
#

I considered and

#

Amd

reef patrol
#

Worse for gaming.

#

You would be lucky to reach 4ghz like me. On water πŸ˜„

#

My 1700 is much cooler on 3.9 than 4

pale sigil
#

There's an annoying voice in my head telling me to stop and it's bugging me

#

I'm very aware of the difference but I've always wanted an i7

#

And I feel I'd regret this opportunity

reef patrol
#

I'd hold off a bit. Ryzen refresh comes in April or so. New nVidia GPUs in June ish

pale sigil
#

Gpu has nothing to do with this

reef patrol
#

Just mentioning dates in general, heh.

#

No idea about Intel though, since Ryzen threw a massive wrench into the Intel roadmap.

pale sigil
#

If I go with an i7 now it would only cost me 150 overall

#

That's why I keep thinking if be stupid if I don't do it

Yeah - Spring time is confirmation time in church. Bunch of 14yr olds get a ton of money.

#

Time to build dem gaming PCs. So we're doing a themed build that is pretty to look at (RGB and glass) and small enough to bring to a friend.

#

Well I mean... we just review. We don't sell. πŸ˜„

pale sigil
#

Because they can

solar hinge
#

Mansen, shouldn't you get a bigger SSD as the speeds are supposed to be a lot better than the 120gb ones?

reef patrol
#

Sure... if I had an endless budget πŸ˜›

solar hinge
#

is the difference between 120 and 240 that big ?

#

it's not like i just bought a 500GB SSD :p

reef patrol
#

Double up.

pale sigil
solar hinge
#

I did read in regards performance speed that it is also half of a 240+ GB drive @reef patrol

pale sigil
#

bigger the drive the slower it is

#

where did you hear this

solar hinge
#

No, just below 240 (around there) is slower as they use only one set of memory chips, while 240 and up use two sets or more and the n the controller can approach both sets at the same time

#

When i'm on the train I can check

pale sigil
#

oh

solar hinge
#

You know what I mean?

pale sigil
#

i get what you mean

#

But hearing about this before i have not

Ah ok

I'll check it in a bit

Issue is, I cannot remember what it was called :D

#

Be Quiet has wireless pc charging in the netherlands :p

They meant a modular psu of course

Larger SSDs are always faster.

@reef patrol .... BDO, HUGE increase in performance

went from 25-35fps in towns to 70

reef patrol

but tbh

heavy on the cpu

Must be a fucked up 6600K. Send it here, and I'll fix it excited

bdo just uses the i7 well

pale sigil

That framerate is pretty bad 😦

pale sigil
#

Ye in cities irs awful

#

But since getting my i7 irs 60+ solid

#

So you can imagine I was blown away xD

reef patrol
#

And every threadI can find about BDO says i7's get no special treatment in the FPS department. Aka. that 6600K is faulty af πŸ˜„

pale sigil
#

Look at the video

#

I'm talking in cities

#

Outside of cities I was fine

#

Even if faulty what can I do

reef patrol
#

True - Sell the 6600 for peanuts to someone who won't mind if it's borked.

pale sigil
#

Can't I rma or something

#

Skylake is being discontinued o.0

#

@reef patrol honestly nothing was bad, performance was good in everything but bdo, this game is unstable in general in cities

#

Tho to be fair 8 haven't tried the 6600k with the recent optimization update

reef patrol
#

Lemme know if you can't get rid of it. I can probably find someone πŸ˜ƒ

My cousin is having it with a mobile and 4gb ddr4

@pale sigil Is your 7700k delidded or are you running 5 ghz out of the box?

zenith mirage
#

I think 5Ghz is achievable on standard kabylake stuff

reef patrol
#

It is hard on Kaby. Delid or not.

opaque temple
#

i had to delid to get mine there without melting it

reef patrol
#

Coffee Lake is a lot easier, but still not guaranteed.

#

iirc a lot of Kaby K models top out at around 4.8, 7600K has better odds, since it gets less hot.

opaque temple
#

when i stress test i hit 70-78 C on 5 ghz

#

so it runs hot 😜

reef patrol
#

There's a reason why delidding is so attractive to enthusiasts. Often shaving off 10-20C

opaque temple
#

Yes i did for me the second time i added liquid metal, before it did thermaltrottle

#

but 70 c under synthetic load is pretty acceptable i think.

reef patrol
#

Depends on your workload I suppose. For gaming that's great. For fulltime render, it sounds a bit hot.

timid chasm

depends on the drive distance but most likely yes

actually that'd have to be pretty far. We can travel >500 miles for <100 usd soo yeah

tiny tide
#

Hmm doing the math it's like 2 hour drive and I get ~10mpg in gas with my truck
180 miles /10 = 18 gallons, say price of gas is around 2.60, that's 46.8 usd one way

#

So realistically it would cost about 100 both ways, 500 for gpu and 4 hours of my time

+- the risk of getting shot instead

timid chasm

but if you get shot death is a high possibility soo then you're free from everything

tiny tide

true

700 is insane for a Ti though

most 1080's are that

get the Ti and scale the game to a higher res if need be but my 4690k and 1060 handle it fairly well so far

with TRAM to low I'm only using ~2800

at highest it'll fill the 6GB and fps drops pretty hard once it fills up

Supposedly you can go through their support to get the Ti for 699 if you dont want shot

Not sure I follow. What exactly do you need?

Installation media, so you can reinstall Windows 10? Am I to understand that you've already upgraded using the handicap tool at least once on the PC?
