Core 2 duo

#

Hmm

fast jewel
#

i mean it works for stuff like photoshop and blender

#

#

core 2 quad*

noble oak
#

For all the gaming accesorices you could have bought a good pc

#

Lmao

fast jewel
#

i mean if a good pc costs $300

#

i really don't need much more than this, it's not slow or anything

spare fog
#

650$ PC for csgo I think Ing about Intel core i5 8400

noble oak
#

I5-8400 can run every game

#

And yea...

#

With a 3gb card

spare fog

noble oak
#

Thats it

Ordering now

#

😂

fiery monolith
#

xd

#

I will be real with ya

#

The buttons that push in on the sticks feel different compared to like a PS3 PS4 or XBOX1 or XBOX 360 controller

#

But other than that.

#

Seriously everything feels amazing on it

#

I highly reccomend it for single player games such as Tomb Raider

vast owl
#

Mine arrives tomorrow, just had the UPS email, gutted as I’m working all week so won’t be able to use it much

rancid raptor
#

austere prawn
#

Siege is always a fun one

noble oak
#

Siege is easy to run

tropic hollow
#

@rancid raptor cinebench

chilly edge
#

Cinebench is more for CPU

pulsar fossil
#

3D mark?

chilly edge
#

Unigine Heaven is another one

noble oak
#

This is the latest

ashen marsh
#

nice

rancid raptor
#

@pulsar fossil link ?

pulsar fossil
#

@rancid raptor you can get it through Steam

rancid raptor
#

@pulsar fossil thx

pulsar fossil
#

Yw :)

rancid raptor
#

@pulsar fossil dude it was reduced from £22 to £3!

#

right boys its time to bench

pulsar fossil
#

Not bad

rancid raptor
#

oh, rip XD steam installs the client and the client installs 3dmark @pulsar fossil

pulsar fossil
#

Client-ception

rancid raptor
#

so does that make it a client in a client in a client ?!?!?!? @pulsar fossil

pulsar fossil
#

Pretty much

rancid raptor
#

haha what specs have you got @pulsar fossil

pulsar fossil
#

Ryzen 7 1800X
32 GB DDR4 Tridentz RGB RAM
480GB nvme SSD from XPG
MSI GTX 1080ti 11GB
NZXT Kraken X71 CPU cooler (might be wrong about the model, tripple fan version)

#

So a decent rig @rancid raptor

rancid raptor
#

wow um... @pulsar fossil

#

i have a ryzen 5 2600x

pulsar fossil
#

That's my work PC btw

#

I don't have a PC at home atm :(

rancid raptor
#

16 gb precision corsair ram

#

zotac rtx 2070

#

um and all cooling systems in my case are thermal take

#

@pulsar fossil

pulsar fossil
#

That's not bad either

rancid raptor
#

oh why such a beast of a pc for work

#

?

pulsar fossil
#

I'm a video games journalist

rancid raptor
#

wow thats pretty neat

pulsar fossil
#

Yeah, it's a great job :)

rancid raptor
#

are you British ?

#

@pulsar fossil

pulsar fossil
#

Danish

tropic hollow
#

best country

rancid raptor
#

oh nice because i have a share in a company called awd-it

tropic hollow
#

@pulsar fossil guess who's laptop got refused to repair by apple but school's doing it for free

pulsar fossil
#

Damn

#

Can you get them to fix my MacBook Pro too?

chilly edge
#

@rancid raptor i ordered some stuff from that place my god the delivery was atrocious. Customer service not so much

pulsar fossil
#

Didn't know your laptop died

tropic hollow
#

it's kind of mixed

#

not dead

chilly edge
#

Ordered 1-2 day delivery on like 26th and didnt get the package until the 9th or something. Got a refund for the delivery though

pulsar fossil
#

The main GPU is dead in mine RIP

tropic hollow
#

battery has gone to absolute sh*t...cant use for more than 10 min without plugged in

rancid raptor
#

@chilly edge oh i am very sorry to hear that ?

tropic hollow
#

oh man

pulsar fossil
#

Ohhh

tropic hollow
#

yeah

pulsar fossil
#

ooof

tropic hollow
#

big oof.

pulsar fossil
#

Battery life is still fine on mine

tropic hollow
#

and my screen is screwed too

pulsar fossil
#

At least a couple of hours

tropic hollow
#

mine has lines unless in certain position and screen burn ins often for some reason

pulsar fossil
#

Dang

chilly edge
#

that sounds...

#

on one hand it sounds terrible

#

on the other it sounds normal for apple products

rancid raptor
#

right, @pulsar fossil i am going to bench

tropic hollow
#

it's an okay laptop apart from the fact that for the same price I could have just gotten a definitely decent gaming pc

#

it was almost 2k

pulsar fossil
#

It's a 7 year old laptop @chilly edge

#

It's gonna have issues :D

chilly edge
#

That does make a lot of sense

pulsar fossil
#

In my experience Apple laptops last far longer than other brands

tropic hollow
#

it's true

#

my imac from 2012 still in great condition

#

really fast

pulsar fossil
#

My Lenovo would die after 3 months, get fixed, die again after 3 months, get fixed and then die again after 3 months

tropic hollow
#

ooooooooof

pulsar fossil
#

That last time they couldn't fix it

#

So now I have a laptop that's a newer model with a newer CPU but with a shitty GPU

tropic hollow
#

rip...if i could give anyone advice

#

get 2016 macbook pro

#

most reliable, still thin and has usb ports

pulsar fossil
#

I went from 17.3" - Core i7 6820HK - 32 GB RAM - 512 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD, GTX 1070 to a 15" - Core i7 8750H, 16GB RAM, 256 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD, GTX 1050ti

#

I don't know about you @chilly edge but that seems like a poor deal to me

tropic hollow
#

o

#

here we go

pulsar fossil
#

Just get cables from Anker

#

Problem solved

#

Plus they will replace the cable if it dies

#

At least they did for me after a year of use

wet lintel
#

also me

pulsar fossil
#

Anyways, I should be streaming

wet lintel
#

so anker > Apple

pulsar fossil
#

yeah

wet lintel
#

apple > samsung

#

samsung > xiaomi

tropic hollow
#

oneplus > all

pulsar fossil
#

:D

wet lintel
#

xiaomi > hp

pulsar fossil
#

Let's not get a fanboy war started

tropic hollow
#

:D:D

wet lintel
#

hp > asus

rancid raptor
wet lintel
#

asus >nvidia

#

so anker > nvdia

pulsar fossil
#

I wonder what my score would be

rancid raptor
#

dude i was only £3

#

the thing is with our gpu @pulsar fossil is that we trade on different games, on the bench make side of things

wet lintel
#

that was no spam

#

I return playing apex bye

rancid raptor
#

wanna play ?

wet lintel
#

not right now I want to be alone and depress myself

rancid raptor
#

yeah its 8+8

#

ashen marsh
#

ahh their should be a single 8 cable

#

if your card only needs one connector

rancid raptor
#

the thermal take power supply came only came with an 8+8 pci-e

ashen marsh
#

shoot

rancid raptor
#

ik

ashen marsh
#

you can zip tie it together to make it less ugly?

rancid raptor
#

ashen marsh
#

i have it but i never started it up

rancid raptor

#

smite 3rd person moba

#

free

rancid raptor
#

anyone wanna play apex legends ?

vast owl
#

@rancid raptor what are you on? Xbox..PS4...pc?

fiery monolith
#

Ahhh 😍😍 so pretty @vast owl

#

I also like that stream dac? I think thats what it is called?

vast owl
#

I know right, inboxing now @fiery monolith

fiery monolith
#

Tell me how you like the feel of the controller

#

It is uhhh

#

Very mouth watering to me

vast owl
#

@fiery monolith will do, they say you associate quality with weight, so hopefully it feels solid

fiery monolith
#

It feels nice to me. I play at a desk, i was playing Batman Arkham Asylum with it last night for about 4-5 hours, i played it with it in my lap. Felt nice to hold :)

#

Also thats an awesome stand dude 😂

small spindle
#

I need that stand in my life

vast owl
#

@small spindle zavvi have a good range

small spindle
#

I will have to check that out

vast owl
#

Loads of cool ones, it was between this and dead pool

fiery monolith
#

Zavvi have a site? Or is it like an amazon place or?

vast owl
#

Yea website, great for gaming collectibles

#

Have literally no idea how to connect it

#

As in to steam and games

vast owl
#

20 mins and still no idea, think it’s going out the window

#

Update- switched to origin and Apex Legends.... and BOOM, worked instantly. Winner

fiery monolith
#

@vast owl Its just plug and play. Some steam games are probably not supported. It would be under "Controller Settings" +Steam should auto detect that youre using a controller when you boot the game

vast owl
#

@fiery monolith it did for Origin, I’ll try steam again tonight, could have just been a funny 5 minutes

rancid raptor
#

@vast owl pc dude

vast owl
#

@rancid raptor nice mate, what’s your origin handle?

#

Mines Mlkes

odd burrow
#

@digital furnace

digital furnace
#

thank you!

odd burrow
#

also that

vast owl
#

Asus are great too, my 4K is Asus, but that was closer to $350

#

The BenQ is the GL2460BH

odd burrow
#

you can get a used 4k for around 200 if you're lucky

vast owl
#

24” currently at £119 on UK amazon

#

@odd burrow exactly, monitors are always on things like Facebook market. I often see Predator monitors for a decent price

odd burrow
#

i might buy some new gear like graphics card

#

used

vast owl
odd burrow
#

there's an rtx 2080 used for 500

vast owl
#

Bottom two are BenQ 1080p and top 4K Asus

odd burrow
#

jesus haha

vast owl
#

Nice! I really want to upgrade my graphics card too

#

I’m only running at GTX 960

odd burrow
#

oh really?

#

if you're on an budget you should buy the rtx 2060

vast owl
#

Yea but it’s fine for most games and runs the new Apex Legends comfortaby

#

I’ll look that up thanks mate

odd burrow
#

the rtx 2060 is really powerful for the price

vast owl
#

£380 that’s actually quite decent

odd burrow
#

check reviews

vast owl
#

6GB version yea?

odd burrow
#

yeah

#

i can't say as i have another but my friend has it

#

i use an shitty gtx 1070

#

not shitty but you know

vast owl
#

4 monitor ports I see, I wish they had an extra HDMI or DVI port

odd burrow
#

yeah

#

aren't there splits?

vast owl
#

Got ya, probably what I feel about mine, fine for 90% of what I do... but... POWER!!

#

I actually run 5 monitors...

#

But ones unusual

odd burrow
#

i use 2

vast owl
#

Ones actually a mini 5” monitor and sits inside my case and runs the cam software so I can always see real-time stats

odd burrow
#

so much damn rgb

#

haha

#

which headset do you use?

vast owl
#

I may have an RGB fetish lol

odd burrow
#

i have an xbox one x

vast owl
#

I’ve just upgraded from the Steelseries 3 to the 7

#

I have an Xbox, PS4 too

#

So here’s the catch...

#

The 7 is epic!! But if your wanting to use the wireless features they do not work on the Xbox

#

But they do on everything else..

#

Because I used it on all platforms I don’t really mind, but then if Xbox is your only platform you may want to get the wired pro for a similar price

#

Because you get the DAC

odd burrow
#

according to lennart steelseries is partnering with xbox to make a headset this year

#

i use the 5

vast owl
#

Yea I heard that too... gutted

#

I LOVE the 5’s for the RGB but wanted the wireless

odd burrow
#

well i'm pretty lazy and always forget to charge

vast owl
#

Good thing is I sold my 3’s for 80% of what I paid after a year, they hold good value so worst case I’ll just sell my 7’a

odd burrow
#

well i'd say that if you're into charging go ahead

#

but the 5 and 3 you can replace the cord

#

can you use bluetooth adapters on xbox?

vast owl
#

Potentially I’m just not sure how that effects the chat functions

odd burrow
#

true

#

or sell your 7 and buy the pro

#

pro wireless

vast owl
#

One day, all part of the upgrading process, bloody expensive trying to do everything haha

odd burrow
#

there's usually some deals and discounts at the beggining of summer

vast owl
#

Yea I’m always on the hunt, I got a good deal on the 7’s

odd burrow
#

or there might be easter discounts

#

haha

#

and i wan't a new case for my PC with rgb

#

want*

#

40£

#

worth it?

#

or that

#

70£

#

@vast owl btw how much RAM do you have?

vast owl
#

16gb Corsair vengeance. DDR4

#

2 x 8gb

#

I’ll add some more soon but again.. have to save

odd burrow
#

i have 16

#

might upgrade to 20

vast owl
#

Nice cases, I like the clean NZXT range

odd burrow
#

is it single channel that the vengeance uses?

#

oh

#

sorry

#

you said 2 x 8

#

haha

#

i want more rgb

#

soon gonna buy a new motherboard

vast owl
#

Me too, so that’s motherboard, CPU, GPU, Ram lol so basically a new pc

odd burrow
#

ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero Wi-Fi

#

i might buy that one

vast owl
#

Nice, I have an ASUS motherboard which was highly rated at the time

#

Intel I5-6500/3.2GHz CPU
Zotac GeForce GTX950 graphics card
NZXT RL-KRX52 240MM
Asus Z170-A skylake SLi/CrossFire Motherboard
Phanteks P400S case
Phanteks LED lighting
4 x Corsair LED fans
2 x 8GB corsair Vengeance LED Ram

odd burrow
#

asus or msi when it comes to motherboard?

#

and i might buy a new rgb monitor

#

razer is a bit overpriced in my opinion

#

and btw i see you like halo

#

#infinitehype

vast owl
#

I wouldn’t mind an ultra wide curved monitor

#

Halo for the win

odd burrow
#

yep

#

and the problem with ultra wide is that you can't see everything in detail

#

however it's still nice

#

and my CPU is a core i7

vast owl
#

I hoping to rebuild everything when I can get a bigger room to create a studio/streaming den

#

Nice

odd burrow
#

i'm getting a bigger room soon

#

It's shitty rn

#

And my desk is old af

#

Haha

#

And a bunch of halo stuff beside me

#

It's small in an apartment like this

#

Where moving soon

#

We're*

fiery monolith
#

Looks like you need some canned air @ HaloRingIndex! D:

vast owl
#

Canned air is a must, and screen wipes

odd burrow
#

Yep

vast owl
#

When you have young kids

odd burrow
#

Ik

vast owl
#

My two love touching my 60” tv with buttery fingers, drives me mad

odd burrow
#

Haven't cleaned it

#

Yeah

#

My pc specs are decent but I'm gonna upgrade and move soon

#

And get more RGB

#

I also haven't used my PC after an incident

#

Not so much atleast

#

But it's first now

vast owl
#

All takes time, mines been 2 years in the making

graceful flame
#

I’m still building my pc

#

It’s not gonna be that good but it will be an upgrade from my current one

fiery monolith
#

All i can say @odd burrow is dont focus on rgb. If $ is an issue do parts over rgb. Rgb can always be cleaned up with some simple light strips or RGB RAm or a RGB AIO cpu cooler :)

odd burrow
#

Yeah I know

#

But since I'm moving room I want it to fit

#

Though money really isn't a huge problem

rancid raptor
#

potatofudgebar is mine @vast owl

vast owl
#

Origin yea?

rancid raptor
#

indeed

#

@vast owl

#

you able to play now or ?

vast owl
#

I’m at work dude... and Valentines tonight. I’m away this weekend so really I’m looking at Monday now mate sorry

odd burrow
#

Does anyone know the best place to get a apex m750 tkl?

#

And the nordic version on the website

#

Is it Norwegian and danish?

#

Or swedish?

#

We don't use the danish and Norwegian alphabet

#

Naah not Amazon although we've got many other electronic websites

#

Like maxgaming, CDON netonnet.....

humble rampart
#

@odd burrow Nordic version is with swedish/danish/norwegian characters

#

so for instance you'll have ø and ö on the same button

odd burrow
#

ah i see

#

thanks! @humble rampart

#

but how do you choose which one?

#

is it on the steelseries engine or is it a combo?

chilly edge
#

It'll be a combo

odd burrow
#

would be better if you could choose default on the engine but still nice

humble rampart
#

@odd burrow Windows 10 takes care of that, no worries ;) you just gotta ignore what the physical keys say

fiery moth
#

please help

pulsar fossil
#

Looks like a problem for the support team @fiery moth - you can see how to contact them in #official-support

Doesn't the case location annoy you? Leg room and all

sand jasper
#

Thankies!! Nahh, I tried putting it in the corner but I tend to swing my feet under my chair most of the time 😂

#

Or they just go under the other side xD

pulsar fossil
#

That makes sense

You should add some RGB lighting :D

sand jasper
#

Can never have enough RGB!! Plan 😄

pulsar fossil

noble oak

Awesome

rigid mulch
#

I’m jealous everyone’s got these awesome setups and I’m here with an IKEA chair and desk a crappy monitor and steelseries mouse, keyboard and mouse mat 😂😭

rigid mulch
#

The only thing good about my setup is the steelseries peripherals

#

@rigid mulch that’s a start though, my setups taken over 2 years to put together

Dang that’s a long time, but I’m guessing the end result is worth it?

Yea for sure, although it feels like it’s happened a lot faster with work and life in the way

This one has an i7 8565U, 4 cores 8 threads. Up to 4.6 GHz

Ah ok, thanks

#

You're better off with a Ryzen system for the future upgradability @fathom ingot
And also Rx570 is better than the 1050Ti

serene forum
#

Id only go Ryzen for upgradability if you intend on getting a new cpu in about 2 years. if the pc is gonna last 4+ your better off with a i5 and and a 1050ti for budget, or a 1060 , both are amazing budget cards.

noble oak

1060 and a i5 is a good combo

Had mine for a long time now

because button 6 on my Rival310 is CPI shift, but it might not be the same on the Rival600

CPI - Counts per Inch
Measure of how far your mouse moves per inch, basically just sensitivity

@fiery monolith dang thats fast, mine is hyundai electronics 2x4gb ddr2 800MHz or something

chilly edge
#

3000MHz is the standard for RAM now pretty much

#

highly recommended to buy it

fast jewel
#

i thought it was 2666 generally?

#

dunno, don't have a gaming computer RIP

fiery monolith
#

2666MHz is usually what ram starts at. Whenever i first got my 16GB of 3000MHz RAM. (Yes, now i have 32GB). BIOS decided to start it at 2666MHz instead of 3000MHz. So I had to go in there and change it. Most newer board just... Let you change it

#

You also can get RAM that clocks at wayy slower speeds such as...

#

This one...

#

Clocks at 2133MHz (Found on Amazon)

#

Point is, there are lots of slow, and faster speeds. 3000MHz being the "Slowest" you would want for a gaming PC. @fast jewel

Just so you know it’s a bit more on the wallet

Only ~$20 different though

I would buy the full size just for £109.99

the QX2 switches are just like other switches

Well, they're made by Gateron

are they as quiet

so are some other switches, such as Zealios

They're probably about the same as Gateron Reds

#

no doubt different, possibly factory lubed, but i'm just speculating

fast jewel
#

@chilly edge arent they supposed to be like cherry mx reds

chilly edge
#

Gateron quite a few switches that have the same characteristics as Cherry's

#

Such as the Blue, Red, Brown and Black switches

#

and then Silent Reds/Blacks

#

Gateron reds are similar to Cherry MX reds, but smoother

i kind of regret not getting a kb with clicky switches but its fine

#

honestly razer greens are nice too

#

i tried some Razer Greens at a shop

#

if i could have an Apex M750 with those switches i would be happu

chilly edge
#

i never want to go near a Razer kkeyboard again

#

if you wish, you could buy an Apex M750, open it up, desolder the switches then solder new ones in

#

but that's a lot of money

#

i hate the actual keyboards from razer but the switches are nice

#

also the lighting, i wish my Apex could do per-key reactive

#

like the MSI laptops

chilly edge
#

per-key reactive is something that can be found on more enthusiast grade keyboards

fast jewel
#

such as A. literally every razer kb

#

B. logitech g513 (iirc)

#

C. MSI keyboards

#

D. literally every keyboard that i have seen after buying my kb :,)

chilly edge
#

lighting is nice and all, but not necessary

#

it's more of a Gamer thing

#

I actually can't stand looking at my G213

fast jewel
#

honestly i really like the lighting

#

SSE has some issues with it, e.g. the orange flashing when GameSense is disabled

chilly edge
#

just realised: desoldering the apex m750 would be a nightmare because the leds are resting in the switch

#

oof

fiery monolith

May I ask why the tilde button is called the grave accent? 🤔 🤔
