@fiery monolith when they say the grave accent i think they are referring to the back tick

fast jewel
#

nice

fiery monolith
#

Back tick?

naive dune
#

the one that you hold shift and click the tilde @fiery monolith

chilly edge
#

Not everyone uses an ANSI keyboard

`

#

That's a grave ^^

naive dune
#

the back tick

muted viper
#

hmm

naive dune
#

somber frigate
#

same

naive dune
#

kek

muted viper
#

i generaly think of it as the console key

naive dune
#

true that

muted viper
#

also it is used for code blocks

#

and multi line code blocks

fast jewel

muted viper
#

i7 has 9 generations @somber frigate

#

wait

#

i think its nine

#

anyway

chilly edge
#

ye

muted viper
#

i owned a first gen i7

chilly edge
#

though since gen 6, it's mostly been incremental improvements

muted viper
#

it was a "fun" experience

chilly edge
#

until AMD forced more out of intel

#

with Ryzen

fast jewel
#

ok Ryzen is amazing

#

although I dont speak from experience as yall know

#

lol

muted viper
#

yes ^

#

agreed^

#

definite^

#

i โค amd

#

@fast jewel

#

you are cool

chilly edge
#

AMD is rad

#

unfortunate that the 1600x didnt come with a cooler

#

had to buy one

#

fortunately the Wraith MAX cooler was only ยฃ20

#

absolute pain to install though

muted viper
#

um y u no custom water cool? #enthusiast ๐Ÿ˜„

chilly edge
#

am pleb FeelsBadMan

muted viper
#

i cant aford it

#

or i would 100%

chilly edge
#

high maintenance though

muted viper
#

yes

#

but stiil ya get that bling /street cred

chilly edge
#

i'll probably stick wiht air cooling

muted viper
#

or AIO

#

ya i would love custom water cooling ๐Ÿ˜„

#

but i would be the guy that uses softline tubes ๐Ÿ˜„

fast jewel
#

lol i cant afford anything

muted viper
#

me neither ๐Ÿ˜„

#

dreaming

fast jewel
#

um

#

something just got stuck in my fan

#

wat

#

alright i gotta fix this back in a bit

muted viper
#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

meanwhile:

#

windows has been deactivated due to an unidentified object in the fan

#

oh yeah the same thing happened to me btw

fast jewel
#

alright we are back

#

it was a GIANT fly like the size of my eyeball

#

lol

muted viper
#

how small is your eyeball?

fast jewel
#

average size, I'm assuming

#

this fly was HUGE

muted viper
#

i got this nice new 12,000RPM fan from Roswell

fast jewel
#

meanwhile: me, using the fan that came with my Dell Studio 540

#

:)))

muted viper
#

i heard this noise like something had hit it

#

and that's why my nephew is missing a pinky

#

@fast jewel

#

also i still use prebuilt fans

fast jewel
#

rip

#

something is seriously wrong with my mobo

muted viper
#

that was a joke in case you didn't catch it

fast jewel
#

my gpu fell out twice in the past year and i didnt even know that was possible but ok

#

and no, I am actually not the cause this time

muted viper
#

did you break the clip

#

?

#

i mean that happened to me once

#

what mobo do you have @fast jewel ?

fast jewel
#

i honestly dont know what happened

#

i've got the one that came with my pc lol

#

hang on

muted viper
#

prebuilt?

fast jewel
muted viper
#

ummm

#

like why

fast jewel
#

because this pc was made in 2007

#

look it up lol

muted viper
#

a martial arts studio?

#

๐Ÿ˜„

fast jewel
#

nOpe

muted viper
#

lol

fast jewel
muted viper
#

well my one board has problems caused by static electricity

fast jewel
#

isnt that normal

muted viper
#

(gigabyte i think)

fast jewel
#

see working with >10 year old parts isnt good for me lol

muted viper
#

the other i stole from my bro

#

it was BIOSTAR

#

then my laptop

#

cpus in each

fast jewel
#

ah

#

see i dont know if its worth trying to upgrade this pc anymore (bottleneck is c r a z y) or if i should just start over

#

and then i dunno if i should get a tower AND a laptop or just a high end laptop

muted viper
#

FX 8350e i think was the one

#

the other was a11 (amd) i think

#

can you guess which one is the "server"

fast jewel
#

uh i dunno

muted viper
#

and wich ones the media PC

fast jewel
#

i dont know much about cpus

muted viper
#

a11= not great

fast jewel
#

ah ok

#

the main thing i know is core 2 quad = not terrible but actually pretty horrible

#

then i know the naming things for intel and amd's high end cpus

#

then i know some stuff about ARM

muted viper
#

wait

#

i got that wrong

#

the AMD a11 is not a thing

#

basically an office PC lvl CPU

chilly edge
#

AMD A10 or A12

#

is what i think you mean

#

i had an AMD A8 in my old pc

muted viper
#

yes

#

i dont know its spec

#

exactly

#

while the FX one (i cant remember the model #) is an "8-core" gaming CPU

fast jewel
#

i've got a core 2 quad q9400 :)

muted viper
#

lol

#

i think the AMD A series processor is better lol

fast jewel
#

ever so slightly

#

:p

muted viper
#

um

#

ummm

#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

cheap

fast jewel
#

that is correct

#

this whole thing cost $100 to "upgrade" a few years ago

muted viper
#

who the

#

that is the same thing

fast jewel
#

i have this cheap drone and even that has a more powerful processor than this lmao

muted viper
#

lol

#

my laptop almost has a better one

fast jewel
#

ok my entire computer is worth $75 why would i buy just my cpu for $208??

muted viper
#

lol

#

wait you want to upgrade?

#

how much ram?

#

@chilly edge

chilly edge
#

laptop CPUs

muted viper
#

yup

fast jewel
#

look at that pure speed

muted viper
#

decent for its time

#

my pentium ran faster than that ram (i think)

fast jewel
#

lol

#

i've got a pentium in my laptop

#

cant remember model tho

#

it's dual core with 4 threads and runs 2.2ghz iirc

muted viper
fast jewel
#

look up "intel xeon"

#

wait never mind

#

doesnt do it anymore

muted viper
#

what

fast jewel
#

it used to pull up some website wqhere it was like $40000

muted viper
#

lol

#

meh pc

fast jewel
#

noice

muted viper
#

would not buy

#

ebay

#

get better stuff cheap

#

but thats a decent price for it new

#

also i would add a 1TB HDD

#

(but idk if ppl need that much storage)

#

im into video production which takes a tad bit more storage than the standard person ||(sarcasm)||

fast jewel
#

lol i think i'm good on storage

muted viper
#

how much you have?

fast jewel
#

with a ton of extra clutter that needs to be deletet

#

deleted

muted viper
#

52000 RPM no doubt

fast jewel
#

lol i've got no clue

muted viper
#

oh

fast jewel
#

the ones in K are decent

#

some samsung somethingorother ssd's

#

1tb each set up as RAID 5 iirc

muted viper
#

daym

#

dude

fast jewel
#

so theoretically i can have up to 4tb there

muted viper
#

what

fast jewel
#

er wait no i meant HDD

#

sry

muted viper
#

i was gonna say

fast jewel
#

yeah lol

muted viper
#

if you have the $$ to throw around for 2 1TB ssds thenn

fast jewel
#

nah that's 4 lol

#

and then C is where my files and stuff are

#

then E is the ssd that i boot from

muted viper
#

laptop here

#

but then...

fast jewel
#

n i c e

muted viper
#

then there is my 2 TB one in my "server"

fast jewel
#

i still have all my windows files on C:\ that aren't used at all so I can probably free up quite a bit

muted viper
#

um wait

#

how can you run windows 10 on such old hardware?

fast jewel
#

i honestly dont know

#

it runs fairly decently but it gets weird sometimes

#

takes about 30mins from boot to get to where I can open things

muted viper
#

im pretty sure thats just win 10

#

also what the heck

fast jewel
#

then it gets slow if i dont reboot weekly or so, but that should be done anyway

#

and strangely, win7 was even slower

muted viper
#

my dads SOLE drive in his PC is 250 GB

#

HDD

#

๐Ÿ˜„

fast jewel
#

ah

#

genius

muted viper
#

FX "6 core"

#

GTX 550ti

#

asus MOBO

#

600? watt corsair PSU

#

250 GB HDD

#

best system ever

#

๐Ÿ˜„

fast jewel
#

lol

muted viper
#

well i dont know the exact capacity of the HDD

#

under 300 tho

fast jewel
#

so i have a 1000 watt psu and my gpu is still showing underpowered but

#

dont ask why because i dont know

muted viper
#

um

#

1000 watt?

#

how

#

why

#

i doubt that system could draw more than 800 watts

fast jewel
#

i dunno

#

it registers as 1000 watts on everything idk

muted viper
#

(but who am i to judge im just some rando 14 year old that has been known to be incorrect before)...

fast jewel
#

wait can i see what my psu is in msinfo32 or something

chilly edge
#

nope

#

but normally there's a nice big sticker on the inside

muted viper
#

ya

#

๐Ÿ˜„

fast jewel
#

ah ok

chilly edge
#

i know my PSU is a corsair RM750x White

fast jewel
#

lol i honestly cant remember half the stuff i put in here

#

i'll have to look at it again later

muted viper
chilly edge
#

I'm still low-key pissed off about the cables

muted viper
#

hmmm i wonder why its called cx550m????

chilly edge
#

because

muted viper
#

๐Ÿ˜„

chilly edge
#

that's how much money it costs

muted viper
#

lol

chilly edge
#

550 power supply coins

fast jewel
#

lol

chilly edge
#

and for the same reason, higher number power supplies cost more power supply coins

muted viper
#

the cheaperthe PSU the better

chilly edge
#

hells yea

muted viper
#

i like great value PSUs

#

(reference to an awesome guy named bullet barry)

fast jewel
#

this is still my favourite

muted viper
#

yes

#

i love

#

that

chilly edge
#

ok

#

that needs a 2000 power supply

muted viper

#

Epic games store no one likes it

#

It's Chinese spyware

#

Owned over 70% by a Chinese data mining cooperation owned by the gov

pulsar fossil
#

@noble oak actually, Tencent owns 40% of Epic Games. If EGS was Spyware then someone would have exposed it by now. It's not spyware.

noble oak
#

You have no idea how much information there is

pulsar fossil
#

I do

#

There's absolutely problems with EGS

#

But calling it spyware is factually incorrect

noble oak
#

It is spyware

pulsar fossil
#

Why?

noble oak
#

Give me a minute and I will get a link to a Twitter post explaining

chilly edge
#

some of the stuff is weird

pulsar fossil
#

That's pretty old and have been fixed

chilly edge
#

like i have a reddit post here, not sure if i can post the link though

noble oak
#

It hasn't

pulsar fossil
#

No data was sent

noble oak
#

Yes there was

pulsar fossil
#

Where's the proof?

chilly edge
#

there's a tracking file thingy

#

tracking.<something>.com

#

mid-bottom

pulsar fossil
#

Doesn't it just track usage of the client?

chilly edge
#

no idea

pulsar fossil
#

Don't get me wrong btw, it's not like I'm a EGS super fan, I just think that the hate against it is overblown

chilly edge
#

i don

#

i don't have a reason for the EG launcher

#

and i odn't think i ever will

pulsar fossil
#

I've used it for Metro Exodus and World War Z

noble oak
#

Oh yea

#

It also accessed a domain in Hong Kong

#

That was not associated with tencent or epic games but something else

#

I can find it real quick

noble oak
#

Use VPN ? I got 350mbps download, /20mbps upload. Still Epic is risky even if u use VPN ?

chilly edge
#

the same data will still be sent and received

noble oak
#

๐Ÿค”

#

Doesn't matter

#

Better to uninstall it no fortnite is good for you

ashen marsh
#

it seems like you dont have any proof regarding this except a hate for them, lots of this stuff you said is either fixed or used even by steam

#

they send your data around also? but nobody says anything for that?

fast jewel
#

@noble oak that's called analytics. don't try to tell me that nobody else does it... look at any webpage and youll almost always find google analytics actually

@vale swan when you said Intel 8th and 9th gen do you mean the CPU or mobo?

hushed shard
#

Hey i would love to hear the opinion of someone who owns it of the apex m750

#

Im split between that and 2 other keyboards and i want to have a good deal

tropic hollow
#

@hushed shard there's plenty of reviews online! the keyboard is great

#

keys take some getting used to

#

but you adapt quick

hushed shard
#

Reviews are pretty mixed

#

Some people say it's trash, others that's it a great kb

tropic hollow
#

I've used it for a couple months and hands down best keyboard I've owned (unbiased)

#

it's very durable

#

not heavy

hushed shard
#

I was also considering the hyperx alloy elite rgb and the k70 mk2, they do have the media keys, although i don't give use to that since the arctis has the volume wheel, the wrist rest is probably not an issue either

#

It's just that i can get the others for slightly less and idk if it's worth the extra bit

#

My siberia 200 i had was good but the cable broke after like a year near the 3.5 audio

#

And my rival 300 broke the m1 shell, had to get a 600

#

Just want it to last very long

#

The keys are probably fine, im yet to test linears, gonna guess they don't have the bump mid way through the click

tropic hollow
#

๐Ÿค”

#

prism sync for life

hushed shard
#

Im extremely turned into the apex because the rest of my setup follows the brand

tropic hollow
#

+1

hushed shard
#

But the others seem like they give more honestly, not sure. I just want something that wont break in months

#

Cause 155โ‚ฌ is a lot of money

tropic hollow
#

as I said, build-quality wise, the KB is great

#

having it break isn't something you should be concerned unless you have a passionate (to stay the least) playstyle after losing

#

:D

#

try it out in-store and see if you like it :)

hushed shard
#

I wish i could

#

I just went to 2 tech stores

#

One of em has the alarm wire all over the boxes so i can't really open em and test

pulsar fossil
#

I would like to confirm that you can infact, punch a M750 without it breaking

#

But I can't recommend doing it

hushed shard
#

The other was extremely lack luster

#

Only had razer and trash keyboards

#

Steelseries isn't much of a thing here kb wise

#

Not on my city

#

And the only mechanical kb i could test was a trashy hp that needed a hammer hit to click a damn key

tropic hollow
#

ahahah

#

well sorry man

#

maybe you know someone who has one?

hushed shard
#

Only razer lul

#

They all buy crap

#

Screw it I'll have faith. 5 steelseries products after hopefully i won't be unlucky

#

So far it's been nice, outside of the weak glue on the 600 side padding lul

pulsar fossil
#

Yeah, that's real unfortunate

hushed shard
#

Well so far only 2 of them broke, and one is literally a piece of fabric GWlulurdMegaLul

#

My 300 works fine, just that i cant use m1 since the plastic broke. Unfortunate

pulsar fossil
#

:D

hushed shard
#

I think it was cause i clicked too back and the plastic didn't handle after some time

#

Well i guess screw corsair and hyperx and I'll go with the steel ๐Ÿคท . That audio visualizer is just ๐Ÿ‘Œ

#

Or if you guys can find me a decent one send me a link

chilly edge
#

well

#

i'm assuming you want a CPU power cable

#

in which case, look up Phanteks/BitFenix/UpHere/AsiaHorse cable extensions

haughty cloak
#

Ok thx @chilly edge

#

@chilly edge can you send me a pic of how the connector looks like

chilly edge
muted viper
haughty cloak
#

Is this it?

#

@chilly edge right?

chilly edge
#

yeah, though you can buy separate cables from some places

#

unless you do want the Power supply and graphics card cables too

haughty cloak
#

This is all the thing I want

chilly edge
#

So the motherboard has 2 CPU Power slots

#

which means

#

you'll need a power supply with 2 CPU power ports

#

if you want to use both of the CPU power slots on the motherboard

#

and then also, if you don't already have the 1080, you're better off buying a 2080 for better performance
or
a 2070 for equivalent performance at a lower price

#

so yeha
i'd recommend swapping the overpriced 1080 out for a 2070, better value. THen you can use the money you saved to upgrade the Power Supply and CPU cooler

haughty cloak
#

Iโ€™m broke so canโ€™t switch to 2070 or 2080

#

Is that all need for the pc the wire and the linked item

chilly edge
#

Do you have the 1080 already?

#

guys i need help my bottom side mouse button isnnt working on my rival 600

naive dune
#

What happened @bold blade

bold blade
#

The side mouse button on my mouse isnโ€™t working. I just logged onto fortnite and realized it wasnโ€™t working

#

Anyway I can fix this

naive dune
#

Is it because itโ€™s deactivated in the Steelseries engine?

bold blade
#

I was messing with lighting effects that same day

#

i just checked and everything seems in place

#

i even tried to deactivate and activate the button but still nothing

Haven't talk much here since I've joined a long time ago but i kinda need advice for a mousepad...
Currently I am using some Genesis Maxi M12 mousepad (which is OK and I've washed it today since my Rival 300 started dropping its track and wasn't moving as smooth as before)
Since I am, let's say, SS fanboy I am looking for a new SteelSeries mousepad as I am lacking one to complete my setup - and here is my question - should I be looking for QcK Prism Cloth XL or QcK Prism (the 6 zone smaller one) would be good too?
I really like the big one as it's the same size as my current one, but it only has 2 zones...

Or should I be looking for simple, cheap mousepad and just buy something like Xiaomi Yeelights RGB strip and glue it around my desk? Cause I was thinking about doing so a long time ago too pepeLaugh

Yo

#

I need a pc build for streaming 1k under :D

muted viper
#

ouch

#

the decent pc part at that budget is easy

chilly edge
#

That's what I got together

muted viper
#

@chilly edge was mine any good?

#

wait the one i threw together would stream, right?

#

plus he asked for under 1k

#

there are certain parts that you can make as cheap as possible without really affecting performance (like case case fans the fact that wifi is for plebs etc)

chilly edge
#

@muted viper better than the pc I use to stream

muted viper
#

lol

#

wait realy ๐Ÿ˜„

#

ik its better to go amd for streaming (and imo for everything) bcs of their higher core count

pulsar fossil
#

I could really use an upgrade for our streaming PC...

#

Intel Core i7-6700K
Nvidia GTX 1080, 8 GB

#

It's getting pretty old

muted viper
#

old?

pulsar fossil

And it's a prebuilt Lenovo :O

Yeah

#

Our productions are a lot bigger than most

muted viper
#

oh

pulsar fossil
#

We have 6 capture card inputs plus we tend to use lots of NDI

muted viper
#

a 6th gen i7 w 1080 is killer tho

pulsar fossil
#

6x1080p60

muted viper
#

wowsers

#

well go amd for sure

pulsar fossil
#

That 4 input card was pretty expensive

muted viper
#

ikr

#

try 4 input 4k60 cards...

#

what would you say your upgrade budget would be @pulsar fossil?

pulsar fossil
#

Now that would be heavy

#

Not sure

#

We usually use hardware from a partner

muted viper
#

like 2k/3k?

#

also build it yourself

#

better value ๐Ÿ˜„

pulsar fossil
#

I know

#

But when prebuilt = free, that makes more sense :)

muted viper
#

oh

pulsar fossil
#

Well not free

#

But as a part of a partnership

muted viper
#

you must be one of their authorized resellers

#

lennovo like those

pulsar fossil
#

No, media

#

But we have a great partnership with a big local reseller and that def helps :)

muted viper
#

oh lol

pulsar fossil
#

We have a tv channel with 300k+ households :D

muted viper
#

nice.

#

also i think with the way you put it you can afford that type of PC

pulsar fossil
#

That would be a decent build

muted viper
#

your productions seems to be pretty big ๐Ÿ˜„

pulsar fossil
#

I would opt for a 2080 or 2080 ti though

muted viper
#

less vram (i think)

pulsar fossil
#

There's some improvements to some features that the production software we use can benefit from

#

vMix that is

muted viper
#

also tbh

#

i would build a custom water loop for that ๐Ÿ˜„

#

but it should be fine

pulsar fossil
#

Not sure I'd trust my abilities in that

muted viper
#

neither would i

pulsar fossil
#

Plus the PC will be in a rack case

muted viper
#

oh

pulsar fossil
#

And will be rolled around and moved a lot

muted viper
#

well then

pulsar fossil
#

So not sure I'd go that route

muted viper
#

epic?

#

(amd epic i mean)

pulsar fossil
#

Yeah or maybe even Xeon

muted viper
#

your production seems big enough

#

also why intel

pulsar fossil
#

idk

muted viper
#

ok ill admit it im an amd fanboy

pulsar fossil
#

I have a R7 1800X in my work pc

#

And honestly I haven't been blown away by it

muted viper
#

im confused?

pulsar fossil
#

I really like that it's a lot easier to upgrade

muted viper
#

thats an amd gpu?

pulsar fossil
#

CPU

muted viper
#

oh

pulsar fossil
#

Ryzen 7

muted viper
#

oh

#

i forgot thats what they call it

pulsar fossil
#

But it's a pretty good PC

muted viper
#

wel yes

pulsar fossil
#

1080 ti and 32GB RAM

#

Lots of RGB of course

muted viper
#

that cpu prolly cosr at least 400 USD

pulsar fossil
#

Something like that yeah

#

PC hardware tends to be more expensive here too

#

Like, I was considering getting the Razer Blade 15 laptop.

#

Specced out with a 2080 qmax

#

It's like $1200 less in the US

#

Here = Denmark

muted viper
#

lol

pulsar fossil
#

Keyboard layout is the main thing that's keeping me from doing that

muted viper
#

๐Ÿ˜„

pulsar fossil
#

Damn you ร† ร˜ ร…

chilly edge
#

PC PartPicker has had its GUI changed

muted viper
#

it did?

chilly edge
#

ye

#

some of it is still down though

#

will probably be back in 10mins

muted viper
#

woah

#

very recent

chilly edge
magic cypress
naive dune
#

what keyboard is that

chilly edge
#

M800 it seems

#

which is huge as hell

naive dune
#

Hmm its the first time i ever heard of it

#

is it an old one or like new in specific regions only?

magic cypress
#

idk, it said apex on the "what's new in steel series engine 3"

#

its an older keyboard

#

its got a pretty small spacebar

serene forum
#

It looks like an apex 350

fast jewel
#

its an apex m800

#

so youre telling me that they removed the layers thing for their newer kbs and stopped advertising the higher end ones (weird spacebar, better rgb stuff i guess, macro keys)

#

i mean i wont complain but its interesting marketing

naive dune
#

Is there any way to get the 800 still?

pulsar fossil
#

You might be able to find it used or in some stores

fast jewel
#

any clue why they stopped production (if they did)?

pulsar fossil
#

I think they just simply chose to discontinue it

fast jewel
#

oh ok

tropic hollow
#

!apexm750

foggy heartBOT
fast jewel
#

?

chilly edge
#

it was probably to replace it with a newer product

#

with a better form factor

#

and a new, better switch

pulsar fossil
#

yeah

oh ok

oldie but goldie

#

hehe

pulsar fossil
#

@chilly edge I suspect I'll be asking you for some advice soon

chilly edge
#

Hmm

#

if soon is now, go ahead

pulsar fossil
#

I'm about to make myself a nice gaming setup at home

chilly edge
#

if soon is soon, also go ahead

pulsar fossil
#

Soon as in multiple days from now

chilly edge
#

ahh alright

pulsar fossil
#

Will be spending about 4,5k USD

#

But for everything

chilly edge
#

what does Everything include?

pulsar fossil
#

PC, audio gear, screen, possibly camera

#

I should have light (at least one Elgato Key Light) and a Greenscreen from Elgato

chilly edge
#

Screen as in monitor, right?

pulsar fossil
#

yes

chilly edge
#

Audio Gear and Camera stuff is out of my area

pulsar fossil
#

I was thinking about going for the Shure SM7B as mic. But we have a Sennheiser HMDC27 at the office that I can use, so might just use that in stead

#

That's my area

#

It will most likely just be that headset and a GoXLR for sound

#

And either a Garmin action cam from the office or something else

chilly edge
#

PCPartPicker doesnt appear to have a Denmark option

fast jewel
#

why the action cam??

pulsar fossil
#

Already have it

#

I most certainly will not be using a webcam, that's for sure

fast jewel
#

Oh ok

#

as a facecam type thing??

#

also i was about to mention the Shure BLX series and then i was like "oh wait thats not what this is for"

pulsar fossil
#

yeah

chilly edge
#

Not sure which region on PCPP i should use

pulsar fossil
#

Germany?

chilly edge
pulsar fossil
#

Sweden

chilly edge
#

Stuff is like so expensive

#

A 2080ti is like 1/3 of the cost

#

1/3 of the budget I mean

#

Wait they're normally around that much anyway

naive dune
#

They have a steelbot? haha cool!

#

I really want the apex m750 but iโ€™m not rich lmao

chilly edge
#

1% battery life rip

pulsar fossil
#

Dang

fiery monolith
#

850 W PSU installed ๐Ÿ˜Ž

chilly edge
#

dammit

#

that 1 ups my 750W PSU

chilly edge
#

hmm

#

I saw that

tulip apex
#

I realised, that is not channel for this XD

chilly edge
#

i mean, it's alright to post here

tulip apex
#

Yea?

#

I thought that its only for pc builds

chilly edge
#

no-one will rip you up for it

#

posting about PC-Peripherals is fine

#

the channel description is Discuss and share specs of your Battlestation and mice come under Specs

tulip apex
#

Ya, now, I know it ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

Coming back to the topic, this pattern on the mouse is really nice and I'll buy it soon

chilly edge
#

yeah

#

from the massive giveaway a while back I would've loved to get a Gold Rival 310

#

i had a gold Rival 100

tulip apex
#

Nice

chilly edge
#

it was a bit of a weird surface to grip

tulip apex
#

Ymm.. Is there a mousepad with howl pattern?

chilly edge
#

there is indeed

tulip apex
#

I just thought it was, so I'll buy a mouse and mousepad with this pattern

chilly edge
#

from the top of my head, the specs are good

#

and at a competitive price

tulip apex
#

Thx

pulsar fossil
#

That's pretty decent

#

Especially considering I'm paying about $10 a month for it

chilly edge
#

oh cmon that's just flexing

devout ruin

#

not too much

winged parrot

chilly edge
#

It's worth depends on the inside

tropic hollow
#

RGB and a nice case doesn't mean anything :D

celest schooner
#

i'd price it around 1 grand. (just because its very similar to a build i saw online so im assuming you happened to purchase that one)

severe halo
#

rgb fans are like 10 quid

#

graphics card has one power cable, so midrange

#

depending on when you bought the parts I'd say around 800 quid

fiery monolith
#

Here is this. Really cheap considering a 1tb is $50

muted viper
chilly edge
#

seems like it

#

tiny backspage

#

(although it has bigass enter)

pulsar fossil
#

Heh. It's pretty much a normal sized enter button for the Nordic keyboard layout

#

It's not that big @chilly edge :p

chilly edge
#

thats' the name of the enter key

#

There's Tall enter (Iso) and bigass enter

noble oak
#

@muted viper

chilly edge

That doesn't really talk about keycap profile

@chilly edge Has nothing to do with whatever y'all were talkin bout. Lol

muted viper
fast jewel
#

:(

pulsar fossil
#

@muted viper that's not even that fast :-/

muted viper
#

also its a joke

chilly edge
#

yikes

#

my one thing with moving into a new house

#

is like

#

mainly

#

it has better inernet

#

because mine RN is absolute crap

pulsar fossil
#

That much download would be way overkill for me @muted viper

#

I'd rather have the higher upload speed

chilly edge
#

all i need is like

#

40/40

#

higher would be nice

#

but im doing fine on like 20/3

pulsar fossil
#

Damn

#

My 4g while roaming is faster than that @chilly edge

#

On my phone...

chilly edge
#

damn

#

i wonder what phones people here have

#

and what they'd want to upgrade to

#

because honestly i'd be fine with a ยฃ90 Honor 7S

pulsar fossil
#

I've been switching a lot lately

#

I went from a S8+ to OnePlus 6 last June, then the 6T when that got released. Now I've been using a S10 for a month or so and will be switching to the OnePlus 7 pro next week

chilly edge
#

all i really need is some storage (16-32gb is fine), a decent camera

#

and no good damn notch

#

or anything

pulsar fossil
#

I'm fine with a notch

chilly edge
#

i prefer rectangular screens

#

notches just look ugly

pulsar fossil
#

It's nice that the s10 has a mini jack but I don't use it

chilly edge
#

oh yeah

#

audio jack is good

pulsar fossil
#

I thought I would hate it

chilly edge
#

dont use it an awful lot, but still useful

pulsar fossil
#

But I got used to it pretty fast

#

I've not used it once for years

muted viper
#

at least they leaft it in APPLE

pulsar fossil
#

Sorry, I'm not getting in on the Apple hate bandwagon

muted viper
#

lol

#

iv hated apple for years now

chilly edge
#

the closest i've ever been to an apple product
is either sitting in the car next to my dad's iPhone
or going on a Mac in college taster days

pulsar fossil
#

Seems a little juvenile to hate Apple, doesn't it?

#

Or any other brand

#

Apple most certainly has their flaws, but so does Google

#

I for one wish it was smoother and easier to go from one phone to another

#

Correct me if I'm wrong @muted viper

muted viper
#

errrr

pulsar fossil
#

I'll take that as a "You're not wrong" :P

pulsar fossil
#

Just a little faster @chilly edge

winged parrot
#

ok

noble oak
#

Can I get some help?

#

After the new windows update my steelseries arctis 5 doesnt work.

#

The other one at the bottom is the one I was using

#

Because the first one has lower sound in my right ear

#

I am really confused

pulsar fossil
#

Try and set the bottom one as standardenhet and the one above as standard kommunikasjonsenhet

#

You can do it by right clicking on it

noble oak
#

Do you know why the one above has lower sound?

#

On the right ear

#

Or is it done on purpose

pulsar fossil
#

ChatMix set more to game sound?

noble oak
#

It's at the middle

pulsar fossil
#

Not sure then

#

But you should output gamesound over game

noble oak
#

I will contact support

pulsar fossil
#

๐Ÿ‘

noble oak
#

Got it to work @pulsar fossil windows seems to have disabled my realtek audio driver because my soundcard is pretty old

๐Ÿ‘

Great to hear @noble oak

#

Now go watch some BLAST Pro Series :P

hmm

NZXT Kraken x72 cooler i'd assume

those GPUs look like Strix cards,but not sure

wide niche

#

i don't think i'll ever be getting a corsair keyboard

Why

chilly edge

Non-standard bottom row and horrible font on the keycaps

ฤฐ think red switch good for k70

chilly edge

Cherry switches are lame

Why ยฟ

chilly edge
#

well. They're just boring.

And more expensive than chinese clone switches

Which keyboard better to you ยฟ

uhhh

Funnily enough, a custom keyboard

Cool

fiery monolith
#

I like it ๐Ÿ˜›

muted viper
#

me too

#

i think i used to have one of these

#

it broke, sadly

#

or a similar one

fiery monolith
#

I remember when I was a young calzone.

#

Calzone played the Playstation 3. And had finay convinced my mom to buy me a microphone

#

It was a red camo earpiece.

#

I will always remember it. It was the biggest POS now thinking back to it. But at the time it was amazing.

#

It broke eventually because I sat on it. However I used about half a roll of tape to just tape ot back together.

#

It worked great! Then my best friend got a PS3 also! So i decided to give it to him and upgrade to some TurtleBeach PX22's. Finally. A headset.

#

I miss the old gamer times :')

pulsar fossil
#

The Calzone shouldn't be talking about himself in third person. Lennart thinks that's silly @fiery monolith

#

;)

median tangle
#

Any geeks who can tell me which pc is best from some links?

#
noble oak
#

I wouldnt buy a prebuilt

chilly edge
#

to be quite honest

#

all of those options are trash

severe halo
#

honestly, prebuilt is trash

noble oak
#

honestly, building your own is the way to go

severe halo
#

^

naive dune
#

What if its a custom PC built by someone else for you? As in you payed them to build it?

severe halo
#

then

#

you're lazy

pulsar fossil
#

Honestly, saying pre-built is trash, is a trash comment @severe halo

chilly edge
#

none of the specs on those pcs seemed amazing

pulsar fossil
#

Yes, some pre-built machines are pretty terrible

#

But not all of them

#

Building your own pc and the risks it entail is not for everyone

#

And that's fine

severe halo
#

lol

chilly edge
#

I got a pretty good prebuilt for christmas in 2015

severe halo
#

risks?

chilly edge
#

one risk

pulsar fossil
#

Yeah?

severe halo
#

im sorry but what risks are there

tropic hollow
#

oof

chilly edge
#

is wasting 2 hours trying to install an AMD Wraith max cooler

pulsar fossil
#

If a part is broken you're the one who has to do the troubleshooting

chilly edge
#

with the stupid clips and brackets

tropic hollow
#

my friend broke an IC pin and it cost him a couple hundred to replace

severe halo
#

you know the solution to those things

#

dont break stuff

pulsar fossil
#

I'm not saying building your own pc is a bad idea, I'm just saying there's more nuance to it than "pre-built is shit"

#

Not everyone knows that @severe halo

severe halo
#

thats not my fault is it

pulsar fossil
#

I'm not saying it is

severe halo
#

its not my problem if people are dumb

pulsar fossil
#

....

#

That's not being dumb

severe halo
#

its not like its difficult, its a jigsaw puzzle except you know where the pieces go

chilly edge
#

it takes a couple of hours

pulsar fossil
#

Sorry but you are being very short-sighted

muted viper
#

wait @chilly edge they still use those annoying mount style for their coolers ?

chilly edge
#

For the Wraith Max

muted viper
#

oh

chilly edge
#

and possibly the Wraith prism RGB, but not sure

muted viper
#

i hate those

pulsar fossil
#

@severe halo not everyone has the time, the wish or the knowledge to build a pc. Nor the wish to get that knowledge. And that's fine.

chilly edge
#

literally cost me 2 hours and 2 mental breakdowns trying to install it

muted viper
#

how tf

#

i got it on in under 2 mins first time?

pulsar fossil
#

Damn @chilly edge

chilly edge
#

And i need to isntall another one

#

on my brother's PC

muted viper
#

it easy m8

#

idk what took you 2 hours

chilly edge
#

i'll unscrew the brackets, then put them into the cooler and then screw it back it

muted viper
#

WHAT

#

your over compliacting things

#

i didnt know anyone could struggle that much with one of those coolers

#

they are just mildly infuriating

#

but pretty easy to install

tropic hollow
#

fam

muted viper
#

?

deft ravine
#

Prebuilt is better imo

severe halo
#

pebuilt

#

:^)

muted viper
pulsar fossil
#

For some they are, for sure @deft ravine

#

I think it's important that different people have different needs. One solution might be terrible for one person but the best option for someone else. But that doesn't mean that solution is terrible. Just that it isn't for you @severe halo

#

I hope that makes sense

tropic hollow
#

prebuilts are great for people who just don't want to build a Pc and just want a computer that'll run the games they wanna play

pulsar fossil
#

Exactly

severe halo
#

all im sayin is that its more fun, less expensive and more educational to build one

#

for the sake of convenience, thats something i personally can deal with

#

others not so much I guess

#

which is fair

muted viper
#

well you have the benefit of not having an OEM's name stamped on your PC if you build your own

#

also your parts are standard

#

alot of OEMs use non standard parts

severe halo
#

also theres no risk of breaking warranty

#

because there never was one to begin with

#

:^)

muted viper
#

hmm

#

i fail to see how thats logical

severe halo
#

it isn't

#

thats the point

chilly edge
#

ye that's the type @muted viper

muted viper
#

how do you struggle with those?

#

if your gonna get a prebuilt at least buy form ibuypower or some company thats similar @severe halo

#

to my knowledge they dont use any non standard parts

pulsar fossil
#

There's still warranty to break on the individual parts @severe halo
