and the screen is WAY better than the omen

[tepid thistle]

the omen is 144hz 7ms

[fast steppe]

not like that

the brightness

the colour accuracy

the speakers

the keyboard

[tepid thistle]

we're comparing apples to oranges

[acoustic trout]

creative users dont care about refresh rate, again lol

[tepid thistle]

the omen is for gaming

[fast steppe]

you are

[tepid thistle]

gaming enthusiasts don't care about colors, speakers, or brightness

[fast steppe]

no one is using a m1 for gaming

ive been telling you that for a while now and you wont listen

[tepid thistle]

no one is using the hp omen as a creative user?

[fast steppe]

yes

people are

[acoustic trout]

then why are you comparing performance

[tepid thistle]

no they don't

[fast steppe]

yes they do

[tepid thistle]

they use pavillions or envy laptops

[fast steppe]

MY GOD

[tepid thistle]

they don't use omen lol

[fast steppe]

people use gaming laptops for video editing aswell

[tepid thistle]

also the mac has quite a lot of people using it to play some gamesa

[fast steppe]

who?

WHO?

[acoustic trout]

lmao

[fast steppe]

I know like 7 people who use gaming laptops for editing

[acoustic trout]

(one of the nearlucid team members does)

[fast steppe]

Huh can I get a link?

to the server?

Id love to contribute

[acoustic trout]

its in the video descriptions

[tepid thistle]

fortnite, and others

[fast steppe]

people

who

[tepid thistle]

I've seen some play app store games

a lot

go search mac gaming on youtube

theres quite a lot who are using macs for gaming

[fast steppe]

youre comparing candy crush to fortnite

[tepid thistle]

no

[fast steppe]

yes

[tepid thistle]

[fast steppe]

you literally said fortnite and others

[tepid thistle]

yeah

ma y I add

[fast steppe]

The Everyday Dad used to use it

uhh lemmie think

[tepid thistle]

thats cap unless you show me

I'll let you think

you can youtube search it too

[charred ice]

let's calm down you two

it does seem to be getting heated after all

[tepid thistle]

fine

but I still stand by my point

[charred ice]

I need to sort out the TCA in a couple of months time actually... 😂

[acoustic trout]

@tepid thistle m1 is better than i7 and ryzen 7

and

macos is optimized as hell

the build quality

is supreme

ghe screen

the speakers and mic

are op

[tepid thistle]

m1 has a bad frequency

intel i7 has hyperthreading

[quartz eagle]

fr intel notebook gpus are trash

[tepid thistle]

cap

[quartz eagle]

literally 2.6ghz stock?

[tepid thistle]

turbo boost is a thing

[quartz eagle]

100 degrees celsius go brr

[tepid thistle]

more liek 70

[quartz eagle]

my stock 7th gen i7 gets 80 degrees...

the problem of notebooks is that

[tepid thistle]

7th gen

keywords

[quartz eagle]

theres no cooler included

and you cant do anything abt it

[tepid thistle]

7th gen was not made when m1 was made

I have a 10th gen intel i7

[quartz eagle]

even these "cooling bases" dont work

[tepid thistle]

it stays at 70 degrees WHILE gaming and 50 degrees when doing basic stuff a macbook user does

You have to compare 10th gen intel to m1 last gen

they're the competitors

[quartz eagle]

70 degrees is pretty high in my opinion

if you want to game buy a desktop

[tepid thistle]

too little space for one

but fr

you have to compare 10th gen intel if you're talking about last year's m1 chip

[quartz eagle]

desktops arent worth it getting now

bc of gpu prices

[tepid thistle]

desktop are worth getting

[quartz eagle]

yea but not now

when a 2060 is $600 on newegg

[tepid thistle]

it willb e that price for 0.1 seconds

until scalpers go buy it

[quartz eagle]

prices got down ,but still a long way to go

[acoustic trout]

Where do you get this

[quartz eagle]

$4500

[acoustic trout]

Ive tried ever store

[quartz eagle]

newegg ,ebay

[acoustic trout]

Every

Oh hell nah

[tepid thistle]

I got it from nvidia's officail website

[acoustic trout]

Nope not ebay

Shits rigged

[tepid thistle]

I have a 3090 but I don't use it

[quartz eagle]

but with 300% inflation

[acoustic trout]

for..?

[tepid thistle]

msrp

[quartz eagle]

scalp it

[acoustic trout]

Send it to me

;)

[tepid thistle]

e gpu sadly

[acoustic trout]

nvm

[quartz eagle]

oh

[quartz eagle]

lol

[acoustic trout]

I have everything

except

a graphics card

[quartz eagle]

thats my fear

[tepid thistle]

for now just get a 690

[acoustic trout]

I need TRX 3090...

RTX.

[quartz eagle]

bc end of the year is coming

[acoustic trout]

I cant

[tepid thistle]

just get a gtx 690 or something

[acoustic trout]

Everything is sold out

[quartz eagle]

what are your specs

?

[tepid thistle]

ebay intensifies

[acoustic trout]

Hold on

a sec

[quartz eagle]

still auctions for $200 i guess lol

[tepid thistle]

lol ye

@acoustic trout get like a 2060

or something cheap

[quartz eagle]

$800

bruh

[tepid thistle]

@acoustic trout actually try to follow this product in case it gets restocked

https://www.newegg.com/evga-geforce-rtx-3090-24g-p5-3975-kr/p/N82E16814487524?Description=3090&cm_re=3090-_-14-487-524-_-Product&quicklink=true

[acoustic trout]

Wrong

[tepid thistle]

3.2ghz max

while turbo boost can get 5.0ghz max

[acoustic trout]

Core i9 Processor
ASUS ROG Z590 Motherboard
i have 4 sticks of memory
Corsair RMx Series PowerSupply
Water Cooled
10 Master cooler RGB Fans and Exaust
Idk what storage i have

I just need a 3090

or 3080

[acoustic trout]

And destroy your processor

Doesnt matter

Brb

[tepid thistle]

its still 5.0ghz

[quartz eagle]

OCing doesnt destroy your processor

[strange glacier]

frequency isnt the whole story

[acoustic trout]

It still destroys your coy

[quartz eagle]

unless if you have no cooling

or insuficient

[acoustic trout]

Mac optimization is op

[strange glacier]

modern power limits prevent you from destroying your CPU

but you can still shorten it by a considerable amount

[quartz eagle]

ok wont bottleneck a 3090 for sure

[acoustic trout]

Turbo boosting?

Will overheat

And destroy

[tepid thistle]

mac is literally a chromebook

[acoustic trout]

5ghz for something that’s 3gjz

[strange glacier]

they never said the cooling system that was implemented

[quartz eagle]

not with good cooling and good mobo

[strange glacier]

who told you that?

[acoustic trout]

Lol

[strange glacier]

a mac m1 outperforms several desktop cpus

[quartz eagle]

yea but 10 times faster

[acoustic trout]

It’s funny cus it doesn’t make sense

[strange glacier]

while maintaining a lower power draw

[tepid thistle]

to me, it seems to be only designed for a few purposes

[quartz eagle]

H series processors are a scam fr

[acoustic trout]

While having console like optimization

[quartz eagle]

low cores+low frequency

[strange glacier]

how? for a general user that is not a gamer, a mac m1 makes a lot of sense, especially if they are invested in the iOS ecosystem

[acoustic trout]

It also has more cores

[quartz eagle]

macs are focused on working/editing etc

not gaming

[acoustic trout]

8cores

Laptop i7 has )

6

[strange glacier]

the mac m1 is also great for just general work

[acoustic trout]

Or 4

[strange glacier]

like school work

[acoustic trout]

I’ve tried gaming on m1

[quartz eagle]

my 7th gen has 2

[acoustic trout]

It’s not bad

[quartz eagle]

i got scammed by dell

[tepid thistle]

I know

[strange glacier]

its not bad, but its certainly not as good as a dGPU

[acoustic trout]

Def can’t run cod well

[quartz eagle]

not bad but a 3200g outperforms it

[acoustic trout]

It can run Minecraft

Dota 2

Val

[tepid thistle]

my buseiness pc has more ram than the macbook along with a slightly worse processor thats only like 25% weaker for almost half the price of it

[strange glacier]

Vega is a pretty good iGPU, wonder how RDNA2 will perform

[tepid thistle]

and the battery life is 8 hours

[quartz eagle]

a pc

[tepid thistle]

I mean laptop

[acoustic trout]

Tell me ur specs

[quartz eagle]

not a laptop

[acoustic trout]

8hours is not good

[strange glacier]

mac is much more optimized, so 8gb of ram is usually enough

[quartz eagle]

oh ok

[acoustic trout]

That sucks actually

[tepid thistle]

i5 8350u, 16gb ram

512 ssd

[acoustic trout]

LOOOOOOOL

25% weaker

[tepid thistle]

it is good

[quartz eagle]

no it isnt

[acoustic trout]

It is

Bud

[quartz eagle]

8gigs is outdated for everything

[acoustic trout]

No

[quartz eagle]

16gb is the minimum rn

[acoustic trout]

Ur wrong

8gb is the minimum even for windows

[strange glacier]

on mac, ram util is a lot more optimized

[tepid thistle]

8gb is literally a bad amount for "video editing "

[quartz eagle]

yep

[acoustic trout]

Not bad

It can’t run 1080p 60 though

Can’t edit

It can edit 720p 60

Or 1080p 30

[tepid thistle]

that ruins the purpose of the m1 macbook with 8gb ram

[acoustic trout]

Perfect

[quartz eagle]

see

[acoustic trout]

Optimization is op on Mac

[quartz eagle]

16gb on m1 would be perfect

[acoustic trout]

It is perfect

[tepid thistle]

it wouldn't be perfect but it will be better

[quartz eagle]

would be the sweetspot of mid-ranged of portable workstations

[acoustic trout]

But 8gb is perfect for normal users

[quartz eagle]

for grandmas

for video editors no

[acoustic trout]

Ur wrong

[tepid thistle]

mac has good optimization because it lacks a collection of features

[acoustic trout]

Like?

[quartz eagle]

have to disagree with you

m1 is groundbreaking

[strange glacier]

a mac m1 got 23,065 points in geekbench, while a 8350u got around 11,000 points in geekbench. both geekbench v4

[quartz eagle]

i think it is better than xE graphics

[tepid thistle]

a good os

[acoustic trout]

BRUH

[strange glacier]

whats wrong with MacOS?

[tepid thistle]

just barebones to me

[acoustic trout]

Mac OS is what makes it optimized

[quartz eagle]

not good for gamers but no one would buy a mac for gaming lol

[acoustic trout]

True

[tepid thistle]

mhm

the macbook is a chromebook with a little more features

basically a chromebook except its for business

[acoustic trout]

No

[quartz eagle]

are you saying that a pentium is a m1?

2/2

[acoustic trout]

It is windows but apple

[quartz eagle]

barely runs chrome

[acoustic trout]

Lol

U speak facts

[acoustic trout]

?????

[strange glacier]

what makes it a chromebook? lol

[quartz eagle]

chromebooks are the WORST devices on earth rn

[acoustic trout]

at no point in this entire argument have you made a valid point lmao

[quartz eagle]

i think that their stuff is overpriced(apple) but the macbooks are justfiying its price

[acoustic trout]

Indeed

[strange glacier]

mac mini m1 is very competitive

[quartz eagle]

intels i5 macbooks were so overpriced

[strange glacier]

unfortunately im invested in gaming

[quartz eagle]

same

[acoustic trout]

Only the monitor and desktop and there accessories

[quartz eagle]

phones

apple watch

airbuds

[acoustic trout]

They are not overpriced?

[quartz eagle]

no they are

[acoustic trout]

Apple Watch def not

[strange glacier]

i dont use earbuds enough to justify airpods

[acoustic trout]

Phones not

[acoustic trout]

Me too

Considering everyone else is at the same price point

You can’t rlly say that they are overpriced

[quartz eagle]

i´d rather a s21 than a iphone 12

my opinion

[acoustic trout]

That’s opinion

Phones are all opinion

[quartz eagle]

i think its more powerful

better for gaming

[acoustic trout]

Lol

Mobile gamer

my family has only owned one samsung phone lol

[quartz eagle]

but apple is more optimized

[acoustic trout]

That’s also not the

True

They a14 is way better than any other smartphone chip

i got a 12 pro yesterday

[quartz eagle]

nice

[strange glacier]

pog

[acoustic trout]

I have 12pro too

[quartz eagle]

slightly but true

apple has potencial

[acoustic trout]

If you want gaming

[quartz eagle]

of making chips

[acoustic trout]

Go with the ROG phone

apple has been making their own chips for forever

U casual

[quartz eagle]

nah ROG phone has trash cameras

and not so good screen

[acoustic trout]

Ok

[quartz eagle]

samsung is the sweet spot between gaming and camera/screen/building quality

[wise badger]

Depends on what model, also i keep iPhone because the best software lifespan

[red drum]

Agreed

[glad finch]

Have you ever used a mac? Someone that has a Macbook I can tell you that you can do way more with a Macbook then you can a chrome book..

[glad finch]

How so if you look for feature for feature , and what apple gives you included it is actually cheaper to buy a mac then a windows laptop + all the stuff you need to go with it...

[glad finch]

I used a mac for gaming because at uni that is what we had to use mac's. It's not perfect but it is doable, also they are not targeting gamer. Apples entire line is catered to business professionals and Media Creation.

[quartz eagle]

The new ones are great ,but the old macbook air(2014-2017) had a 2/4 processor and a price tag of $800.2 cores suck for everything ,own experience.

[glad finch]

I owned a 2013 mac-book air and pro they were fine. There Dual core HT doesn't work the same as it does on windows. Anyways the laptop was designed for business use NOT gaming... If you compared it to a windows business laptop it absolutely destroyed it.

Sorry I just hate when people bash apple and try to use baseless facts and so much BS to justify why they feel it sucks...

[acoustic trout]

2013 macs were peak

[glad finch]

I used to live stream world of warcraft and diablo 3 of a 2013 macbook pro and had no issues.

[quartz eagle]

Macs were designed for working ,coding and video editing.You cant edit or code properly without at least a 6/12 machine(ryzen mac) and the aproppriate is 8(m1 macs)

[quartz eagle]

Im referring to the air.The pro was overpriced ,but it wasn't as overpriced as the macs.Not saying theyre bad.

[glad finch]

Guess you never knew what apples hardware H264 encoder was used for ... The 2 core HT version was meant for business people....

[quartz eagle]

Never owned and unless that a promo comes out ,never will.So yes ,i dont know about macOS optimizations.

[glad finch]

Then how can you say something sucked if you never used it, so you are basing your opinions and passing em off as facts because you are a gamer and feel that x is better then y? Also find me a windows laptop in that year 2014 that had 10 hours of battery life they could work on?

[quartz eagle]

I never said it sucked ,i said it was overpriced.The specs of the OLD macbook air wasnt worth at all ,even with the optimizations.They would be good ,but at a lower price tag.

for $800 ,as i remember ,there were laptops with 4/8 and dedicated gpus.

[glad finch]

so 1400x900 inch ips screen full aluminum body nice butterfly keyboard. there own SSD AC wireless 12 hours battery life at 900 dollars. the closest thing to it was Dell Latitude E7440 Ultrabook which cost 1400 ..

So once again 900 dollar laptop that beats out a 1400 dollar windows laptop but yet it was to expensive because apple charged you 900 and dell charged you 1400?

There was also the Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook for 1200

[quartz eagle]

It might have build quality ,apple always had (except for 5c) .But what matters if you have a great build but no dedicated gpu and a 2 core processor?

[glad finch]

The target user group and the other laptops I mentioned also used intel igpu... So not sure what you are trying to say because I feel at this point you are reaching really hard on this . They were business laptops price per feature vs the windows laptops Apple was king.

[quartz eagle]

There were more powerful laptops for $900.But yea ,there was not so good build quality and crap battery life.

[glad finch]

So how are they overpriced compared to there target demographic, when there competition was 100-600 dollars more expensive for less quality and less features?

[quartz eagle]

I was referring about power ,not features.But thinking about ,as you mentioned ,the air wasnt an overpriced thinbook.

[glad finch]

They used almost same processor as the macbook dual core i5s and 7s

the 1500 dollar dell laptop Intel® Core™ i5-4300U Processor
the macbook air entry model Intel® Core™ i5-4260U Processor

Dells 2 cores 4 threads Apples 2 cores 4 threads.

Dell
https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/76308/intel-core-i5-4300u-processor-3m-cache-up-to-2-90-ghz.html

Apples entry level
https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/75030/intel-core-i5-4260u-processor-3m-cache-up-to-2-70-ghz.html

Please do some research before you say something is overpriced without actually fact checking thanks.

Sorry mods / admins if that was to much.

[acoustic trout]

werent we talking about m1? lmao

[glad finch]

you were he wasn't I think they mentioned 2014 macs .

[acoustic trout]

why?

thats completely irrelevant

[quartz eagle]

I was talking abt m1 but everyone got quiet

[acoustic trout]

lol

[glad finch]

the price points are fine.

[quartz eagle]

The m1 macs are the best business mid-range notebooks.

[acoustic trout]

Lmao

[acoustic trout]

[ocean bridge]

[acoustic trout]

This is apparently going on in china though

[acoustic trout]

whoa

Pretty cool ngl

[tiny atlas]

who use razer viper cortex?

no viper

hahahahah

who use razer cortex?*

[charred ice]

Ryzen 7 5700G vs AMD Wraith Prism cooler and no case fans... wonder how that'll go.

[drifting osprey]

guys

my Razer Nari essential microphone isn’t working

what to do

[tepid thistle]

never buy razer again

[drifting osprey]

Razer sucks ass tbh

Razer products built to break after a year

[merry moth]

Sneki Snek

Razer Support

For all Razer support queries, please head to https://support.razer.com/

This is a community server

[tepid thistle]

not on purpose

but their products are way cheaper than they are actually priced at

[strange glacier]

all big brands are

[tepid thistle]

not way cheaper

there are loads of products that price their products to not even 1.5x the actual price

[charred ice]

Yes, there is a Razer tax involved. They're basically the Apple of gaming, but my experiences with Razer have been mostly great. Hence I stick with them.

[tepid thistle]

I only buy razer from time to time

but now I'm sticking to logitech and other stuff until I can find a razer products that lasts for years

[charred ice]

And if you've had better experiences with those other brands getting you to stick with them, more power to you! Not everyone is going to buy Razer and that's perfectly fine.

[tepid thistle]

mhm personal preference I should say

[charred ice]

Yep. And in your case, your dislike of Razer is based on actual experiences, which we welcome you to share. Hence there's no qualms here. We only have an issue with those who hate on Razer because it's seen as cool to hate on Razer.

[acoustic trout]

somehow money disappeared from my account after i bought stuff and now im in negatives -_-

[charred ice]

e.g. I dislike Microsoft, but I've had a lot of negative experiences of how they've treated their products that I used. Zune, Windows Phone, Mixer, Microsoft Band, etc.

[tepid thistle]

oh ok

[charred ice]

So there's a parallel there to your experiences with Razer, and is perfectly fine to share your experiences of Razer here. But we have quite a few who come here proclaiming that Razer is the worst ever, and when asked why, they're just silent.

Or the best is, when asked why, "Because they are" (yes, I've seen that several times too)

[stark forge]

My issue with microsoft they create to many things that compete against them selves. Like the 20 different chat services

[quartz eagle]

sometimes the products are lame.Like the windows phone

[strange glacier]

linux's lack of support for stuff like synapse and the fact that ive never used it before is what is keeping me from switching from windows

[stark forge]

I think the windows phones were great. Especially for the price of some of them but imo what led to there demise is the lack of a good mobile app store and some other issues

[strange glacier]

they killed windows 10X, rip

[broken ginkgo]

F

[stark forge]

You should give linux a shot , yes it could be tedious and annoying at times but its quite fun to mess around with especially for pen testing.

[stark forge]

I knew it would happen. Just like Windows RT

[quartz eagle]

feelin like separate admins chat here

[strange glacier]

lol

https://tenor.com/view/nice-very-nice-well-done-gif-4295060

[quartz eagle]

it would be great if razer released someting similar to the logitech powerplay ,but XL sized and with RGB.

[deep tusk]

OMG

YOU IS Ednaldo Pereira

[naive pecan]

Just go steel series

Razer and logitech r kinda dying

[dreamy forge]

huh?

also, powerplay is patented

so nobody else can release something with that specific technology

[broken ginkgo]

razer and logitech definitely arent dying

[naive pecan]

Yeah

[dreamy forge]

not to mention logitech non-G's massive consumer division

[naive pecan]

I said what was in my mind

There mice is op

G pro wireless

But there kbs are not good

[broken ginkgo]

steelseries has some pretty good mouse pads

[dreamy forge]

logitech had sales of nearly 3 billion in fiscal 2020 so...

dying, yup

[naive pecan]

Ikr

[naive pecan]

No there keyboards suck

[dreamy forge]

okay lol

got it out of your system?

[naive pecan]

Yeah

Maybe

Wait wdym

I dont own a expensive keyboard

I have laptop board

Yeah razers legit

[quartz eagle]

Steelseries released a chargeable mousepad?

I think not

[wise badger]

No their not

[naive pecan]

Yeah

I forgot to correct that

Logitech boards are crappy

Razer is completely fine

With every peripheral

[stark forge]

You frogot tp? Get your self some charmin. But remember less is more

[acoustic trout]

yo bro how did you get that role?

[wise badger]

I really have no clue lool

[strange glacier]

#743239167856869407 message

this is how you got the role

[wraith pasture]

Yeah Logitech has gone down over the years it was great in the late 2000s to the early teens but now it's pretty much Corsair and razor and slowly emerging out of nowhere ducky

[acoustic trout]

wait is it worth buying 4090

gef

[cloud aurora]

is there any way to make my mouse auto switch razer synapse profiles on opening a certain game? thanks

[naive pecan]

Yeah thats what im saying

[naive pecan]

I meant to not tp...sorry i have to correct my typing

[keen ether]

thoughts? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/w8TCXb

[stark forge]

Lol im sorry. I was bored at work. Just shooting shit. Your good man

[stark forge]

Go for the lancool II mesh or lancool 215

[minor flicker]

Ryzen processors are really hot, so I would recommend getting a bigger case that could fit a 360 AIO. That's just my opinion, I think that AIO you chose is good, but idk if your ryzen is going to have decent temperatures while stressed for example.

[stark forge]

Thats why he should go with lancool Ii better airflow

[minor flicker]

i dont think that case fits a 360 therefore I suggested a bigger one. I have a lian li O11 with a Ryzen 5 3600 and while stressed I get 60°C so idk and my airflow is pretty well structured

[naive pecan]

Np i dont mind anything

[lunar bolt]

yo this spacebar is d e e p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNU78ZYX2bI

[strange glacier]

i saw that video in my recommended

https://youtu.be/w87lhyP4ny8 this is also very deep sounding

[acoustic trout]

my spacebar is deeper

[strange glacier]

true

[lunar bolt]

wow

[lunar bolt]

that deep

actually

i have a question about the keyboard comunity

why do you guys hate rattle in your keyboard so much?

[acoustic trout]

oh hi duck

[lunar bolt]

hi

[acoustic trout]

i upgraded from basilisk to deathadder

yay

gud level upgrade

[lunar bolt]

ol

lol

[strange glacier]

because it...sounds bad? idk

[lunar bolt]

oh ok

[stark forge]

Finally 🥰

[lunar bolt]

hey zack

lets say if i wanted to get into the custom keyboard community, what are some things i should know first, and what keyboard should i get for beginning?

[acoustic trout]

bakeneko or kbd67 lite

[lunar bolt]

alright, and what is some terminology i should know so im not confused and such?

[acoustic trout]

#general-chat message

[lunar bolt]

oh, sorry

[stark forge]

Google.com is a great source

[lunar bolt]

lol

[acoustic trout]

pog

[stark forge]

Lol its okay no big deal. Just one of my pet peaves. Especially when my username is my name spelled correctly 😂

[lunar bolt]

whats the different between linears, tactiles, and clickys?

[lunar bolt]

oh ok lol

[strange glacier]

linears are smooth all the way down, tactiles have a bump, and clickies have a metal sound when they actuate along with a bump

[stark forge]

When i read that first part i thought something 😂 not going to say it lol

[lunar bolt]

ok so ill prob go with a clicky cuz i like the satisfaction of hearing stuff

[strange glacier]

you still hear stuff from a linear or a tactile

[acoustic trout]

[strange glacier]

its just not a metallic sound

[lunar bolt]

oh

[strange glacier]

trust me, you wont like kailh box navies after a year

[stark forge]

You still hear stuff after digesting taco bell

[dreamy forge]

at a certain point you will hear the thump of the actual cap hitting, not the switch

[lunar bolt]

ill prob watch a sound comparison

[stark forge]

You may also feel a slight discomfort

[lunar bolt]

hm

[dreamy forge]

i've had box jades in my build for....a year and a half now?

[strange glacier]

theyre not for everyone

[stark forge]

Is that a question?

[lunar bolt]

so maybe no clicky for me

[dreamy forge]

no

just pointing out that some people do like the big clack

[stark forge]

Oh you put a ? Like you were asking me to confirm how long youve had them

[lunar bolt]

nah the vid is deeper

[strange glacier]

mode 80

aliexpress hiragana clone L

[acoustic trout]

mic characteristic

[lunar bolt]

is the Redragon K552 Kumara good for beggingers too?

[acoustic trout]

no

[lunar bolt]

oh ok

why?

[strange glacier]

tray mount, bad stabs, scratchy switches that arent compatible outside of KTT and outemu, hollow

and gamer font + garish rgb

[lunar bolt]

KTT?

[acoustic trout]

weird pcb

[lunar bolt]

outemu?

[strange glacier]

ktt and outemu manufacture switches

[lunar bolt]

oh

[acoustic trout]

i told you to read this

[lunar bolt]

lol

[strange glacier]

sorta outdated tho, lavvies are the meta linear now

[acoustic trout]

damn all gone now

[strange glacier]

#general-chat message old, naive me

[acoustic trout]

[strange glacier]

now, still naive me, waiting 3 month for a keyboard to ship

[acoustic trout]

wheres my modo 2

[lunar bolt]

whats a PCB?

[strange glacier]

printed circuit board

[acoustic trout]

we gave you all the resources lol

[lunar bolt]

lol i can feel the dissapointment

[strange glacier]

take a look at the spreadsheet i sent

[lunar bolt]

where?

oh wait

[stark forge]

I told you i don’t like reading

[acoustic trout]

bruh

[stark forge]

Bruh you got that in an audio book

[acoustic trout]

lmao

[stark forge]

https://tenor.com/view/jerry-funny-animal-laughing-gif-13124924

[lunar bolt]

k i think the switch ima get is the gazzew boba U4T

[strange glacier]

ok

[acoustic trout]

ok

[lunar bolt]

bruh i think im overloading notepad there is so much words lol

[strange glacier]

you spelled beginner wrong

[lunar bolt]

ye ye i know lol

[strange glacier]

how much do you think you're going to spend?

[lunar bolt]

idk

[lunar bolt]

couple thou

[acoustic trout]

what

[lunar bolt]

what?

[acoustic trout]

idk what you're saying

[lunar bolt]

isnt customs keebs a expensive hobby?

its like audiophiles

but keyboards

well

actually no

[acoustic trout]

what?

[lunar bolt]

but i

uh

nevermind lol

i though making customs keyboards is a expensive hobby to get into

[acoustic trout]

yeah

meanwhile im sittin 'ere with a cynosa

[lunar bolt]

lol

[acoustic trout]

i luv it tho

except for da fact

no mech 😦

[lunar bolt]

sdad

i use laptop keyboard lol

[strange glacier]

i wouldnt spend that much on your first keyboard lol

[lunar bolt]

Well from what I've seen I think that it's gonna cost at least 1k

[strange glacier]

ummm

[acoustic trout]

look harder

[strange glacier]

you know that if you get a kbd67lite or a bakeneko60 you would be spending at max like $300-400 right

and even that is ridiculous for those keyboards

[lunar bolt]

Oh

Lol

[strange glacier]

since you dont even have a point of reference, that would be a good place to start

kbd67lite r2 ship out date has been delayed by 1-2 months

[lunar bolt]

nevermind lol

[lunar bolt]

they are both out of stock

[strange glacier]

welcome to the hobby

[lunar bolt]

this can only get better

keyboard wise

membrane laptop keyboard no like no more lol

KBDfans PC screw-in stabs VS cherry screw-in stabs, whats the difference>

[strange glacier]

not much, both are decent when modified

durock v2/c3 is still better tho

[lunar bolt]

k, and what is a screw-in stab?

wait

no i remember

[strange glacier]

teaching is difficult sometimes

[lunar bolt]

they are stabilizers right?

[strange glacier]

yes

[lunar bolt]

yes i forgot lol

[strange glacier]

that screw into the actual pcb

there are also stabs that clip into the pcb

[lunar bolt]

huh

[strange glacier]

and there are stabs that are mounted to the plate

kbd67 lite uses screw in, bakeneko60 uses clip in

[lunar bolt]

k then

im gonna get the kbd67 lite

mostly becaseu i actually know how much it costs lol

[strange glacier]

https://www.makerkeyboards.com/products/scarlet if you have more money you could get a b-stock scarlet

[lunar bolt]

and i am assuming that screw-ins would have less vibrations or rattle because there would be a gap

[strange glacier]

yes, screw ins are better than plate mounts

[lunar bolt]

wait

what?

[strange glacier]

yeah screw ins have less rattle

[lunar bolt]

you mean clip-ins right?

[strange glacier]

screw ins vs clip ins is usually screw ins

[lunar bolt]

how about mounted stabs on the PCB?

[strange glacier]

screw ins and clip ins are mounted onto the pcb

[lunar bolt]

oh

[strange glacier]

plate mounts arent

theyre usually found on cheaper boards and take more work to sound good

[lunar bolt]

when i see this i think like its made with the pcb and the stab as one part

[strange glacier]

nah the pcb and plate are separate

sometimes you have a plateless build but you dont want to do that unless you are soldering

[lunar bolt]

so, screw-in good?

[acoustic trout]

plateless hotswap

log

[lunar bolt]

log?

[acoustic trout]

log

[strange glacier]

pog but log

[lunar bolt]

log

[broken ginkgo]

loggers

[lunar bolt]

now i have a idea for a emoji

a log making a pog face lol

[strange glacier]

already made

[lunar bolt]

were

[strange glacier]

i dont have nitro but here you go

[lunar bolt]

oh my god its amazing

why cant you add it tho

[strange glacier]

all the current emojis are razer related

[lunar bolt]

oh

[strange glacier]

or gaming related

[lunar bolt]

yeah ok makes sense

also which one should i get, the kbd67lite R1 or R2?

[strange glacier]

you cant get the r2 rn, and wont be able to for the next 1-2 months

[lunar bolt]

oh, so do i wait?

[strange glacier]

you have to

the r1 isnt in stock either

[lunar bolt]

cuz for me schools gonna go on summer break in like...1-2 months lol

[lunar bolt]

oh ok llol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHll7xjkWtI bro how

[strange glacier]

knew it, gk61x

[lunar bolt]

what?

[strange glacier]

a bad board with garbage software and unreliable QC

[lunar bolt]

lol

is it pre-built?

[strange glacier]

lmao why is the site charging 28 cents for gateron yellows

[strange glacier]

its a gk61, but they took off the switches and keycaps

[lunar bolt]

oh

in the vid?

[strange glacier]

no, gk61 is another board

[lunar bolt]

oh

k i thought u were talkin bout the vid

wow the keeb in the vid has a d e e e e p space bar wow

[stark forge]

Chonky

[lunar bolt]

hey zach, question

how old are you?

[strange glacier]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usNx1_d0HbQ if you want your spacebar to sound like that do this and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDX-jwbqie4

[lunar bolt]

[stark forge]

[lunar bolt]

ok dont need to answer btw

[stark forge]

[lunar bolt]

idk just wondering lol

[stark forge]

Lmao im 24

[lunar bolt]

wow

[strange glacier]

[lunar bolt]

i thought you were 30

[stark forge]

Nah fam😂 its the beard that throws everyone off

[lunar bolt]

yea it is

[stark forge]

The pre beard life

[lunar bolt]

lol

[stark forge]

Haha

[lunar bolt]

so im watching a vid on someone doing a tutorial on making a custom keeb, and they said to use flush cutters, would hobby cutters work? because i already have one then

[acoustic trout]

nail cutters work

[lunar bolt]

Does this work?

[acoustic trout]

yes

[strange glacier]

if you get durock v2s, those come preclipped

not sure if the kbdfans ones do

[acoustic trout]

kay bee dee

[strange glacier]

true

[acoustic trout]

hi

im still at a loss

viper

or deathadder

i just dont know man

[lone flume]

deathadder

there, i've made up ur mind

[stark forge]

Honestly if you can go to a store like Best Buy and put them in your hands. See which one feels better for you.

[acoustic trout]

bruh first of all

im india

n second of all

even if there WAS a best buy

i cud'nt hv gone

cuz there's a lockdown

like i cant go out of my house

[stark forge]

Oh

[naive pecan]

Yes covid is very severe in india

[acoustic trout]

yes

[frosty pier]

Guys what do u think about curved monitor? I got a choice of a curved monitor and a normal flat monitor both 26 inch 144hz the curved only cost $10 more should i get curved?

[strange glacier]

if the curved is a VA panel i would get the flat one

assuming the flat one is an IPS

[deft turtle]

Viper what?

[strange glacier]

you know, the mouse

[deft turtle]

1080p or 1440p?

[deft turtle]

I know but which one?

[strange glacier]

the regular razer viper?

it hasnt been discontinued iirc

if theyre the same price then viper 8khz ofc

[frosty pier]

1080p

[strange glacier]

i would personally get a 24inch 1080p 144hz IPS monitor, such as the aoc 24g2 instead of a 27 inch

[frosty pier]

Ye va

Ah ok thx

[strange glacier]

VA has very nice contrast but its blacks are pretty slow

so a decent VA will see some smearing in darker scenes

[smoky radish]

My 2 monitors I had both make my eyes hurt quickly... They're rather cheap ones, any tips?

[strange glacier]

i mean, where they too bright?

you could buy one of those cheap blue light filters off amazon

[frosty pier]

Wdym by smearing?

[strange glacier]

trailing behind objects

[frosty pier]

Oh

[strange glacier]

27inch 1080p is what some people prefer but 24inch 1080p has better pixel density

[smoky radish]

I put them on 70% brightness and night filter on windows... It makes it unattractive to play games. Sometimes I wear sunglasses if I really feel like gaming

I'll look into blue filters

Thank you

[strange glacier]

no problem, hope you solve the issue

[acoustic trout]

regular

it says ambidextrous (hope the spellings ok)

but i like right handed stuff

[smoky radish]

cries in left handed

[acoustic trout]

like the design of it is gud

the deathadder

OK ive made my decision

deathadder it is

YAY

[strange glacier]

alright, hope you enjoy it

[acoustic trout]

thanku

gearsoft u hv a nice twitch username

i mite follow

wait

imma do so rn

[smoky radish]

Another thing

So basically I've got a cynosa

yo

[stark forge]

Lmao i just watched before you posted lol

[strange glacier]

eh i would get an i5 10400f instead if you are gaming

and no power supply?

and the ram is a bit overpriced tbh

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/RqMCXb

i didnt go with the 215 because it was about 20 pounds more even after factoring in the price of two extra fans

[acoustic trout]

friends lending me one

gpu is also lended

[acoustic trout]

needed a bit of rgb and similarity with the case

picked an rgb ram

[strange glacier]

rgb ram i picked has better binning

and its 5 pounds cheaper

[acoustic trout]

i mean, if you want, you could just like make a pcpartpicker for me, because i dont understand anything about pc's and this is my first one. possibly, keep the gpu and psu because they're being lended

but i'm one for aesthetics

[strange glacier]

i did make a pcpartpicker list

[acoustic trout]

my budgets capped at 500, however allowing for an extra tenner. twenty quid is used for the um, theeeeee operating system

[acoustic trout]

?

#tech message

if you have a windows laptop with a windows key linked to your microsoft account, then you can just sign in on the new pc and itll be updated

usually the 20 quid keys are gray market and may have illegitimate sources

[acoustic trout]

i've seen the reviews on yt and most of them say otherwise

[strange glacier]

all the reviews are sponsored

[acoustic trout]

apparently they can't run high-end games with as much accountability

[strange glacier]

or most

[acoustic trout]

😂 ig

[acoustic trout]

a windows laptop? or a laptop with windows

[strange glacier]

a laptop with windows sorry

[acoustic trout]

no worries

and how would i do that, wouldn't i need a key

[strange glacier]

nah, you dont need a key to download windows

in fact you can legitimately use windows without a key at all, you just will have a watermark and cant change your wallpaper

[acoustic trout]

that's a bit wack, i'm pretty adequate with just chipping in an extra 20

[acoustic trout]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSVt0oDfrM4

[strange glacier]

nah thats not what i mean

you install it onto the ssd

[acoustic trout]

the reviews on the website also are quite strong

a couple of my mates have used it

[strange glacier]

but instead of purchasing a dvd, you just create the installation media and plug it in, then install it onto the ssd

[acoustic trout]

no problems

[strange glacier]

regardless, its gray market. if you're fine with it then go for it

[acoustic trout]

i'm afraid yes

why the case?

[strange glacier]

the h510 has pretty bad airflow

[acoustic trout]

ye ik

[stoic vector]

thank you for that, now i will not buy h510

[acoustic trout]

i'm one for rgb as much as it pains me to say it

[acoustic trout]

it is very clean but isn't capable for hard overclocking

aesthetically, a yes

a BIG yes

[stoic vector]

i want PERFORMANCE

[acoustic trout]

gearsoft would know more than me

[strange glacier]

theres like a 20 celsius difference between the glass panel on and off lol

but it does look very nice

[acoustic trout]

aesthetics > performance 😂

[strange glacier]

if you want good aesthetics and decent performance, look at corsair 4000D

[lunar bolt]

lol

[stoic vector]

so which one? h510 or corsair 275r?

[acoustic trout]

eh? this looks kinda dead

[stoic vector]

this

[strange glacier]

275R is decent i guess

[strange glacier]

no thats bad

[stoic vector]

ok

[strange glacier]

275R airflow is decent

[acoustic trout]

i meannnnn.....for my nan ig

[stoic vector]

which is better for airflow

h510 or 275r

[strange glacier]

i wouldnt get either LMAO

[stoic vector]

i dont have that much for a case

[acoustic trout]

my eyes are not seeing any rgb, what's happening

i'm confused

[strange glacier]

p360a and lancool 215 have rgb

as does the antec df700 flux

[stoic vector]

best airflow and best cooling?

wich one

[strange glacier]

pure performance?

[stoic vector]

yes

[acoustic trout]

holy, i want the nzxt h510 elite, i don't give a toss about the aerodynamics of the nucleus

[stark forge]

lancool 215

[acoustic trout]

i want that rgb

[acoustic trout]

it goes just over budget

if u have any other options below 70...

[stark forge]

honestly its worth splurging a little more on the case. youl thank your self in the long run

[stoic vector]

max 100

[strange glacier]

p360A

[stoic vector]

im not made of money

[strange glacier]

https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/3630-best-worst-pc-cases-2020

[acoustic trout]

ahhhhh

[strange glacier]

cya guys, gotta go outside

[acoustic trout]

its out on amazon

[acoustic trout]

hmmmm i migh

gearsoft

why did u add a wifi adapter when the mobo has built in wifi?

oh wait

did u change my mobo

[stoic vector]

guys should i buy x570 or b550 for a ryzen 5 5600x?

[acoustic trout]

whats ur budget

[stoic vector]

200 max motherboard

[acoustic trout]

hey im having problems with synapse

nah altogether

[stoic vector]

1k

[acoustic trout]

i know a good server that can help out

[acoustic trout]

and that is...?

[stoic vector]

1k for gpu, cpu, mbd, psu and case

[acoustic trout]

ah ok

@strange glacier https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZwWcnL

ive modded it a bit

my internet got changed

🏅 ?

its faster now

from 4g to fiberoptic

nah im asking dyu wanna medal?

😂

ohh lol

ive got this cool website it's called whotfasked.com

😏

i can order it from there

oh wait u wernt here back when i was active

nah, man just jumped on to get some op's on the pcpartpicker

i'm confused man 😂

cool

these mans talking about random shit man

[stoic vector]

do the huntsman switches REALLY actuate at 0.2 milliseconds?

thats very hard to believe

so i have to think twice before buying a huntsman mini

[acoustic trout]

what does this mean

[acoustic trout]

hardware canucks made a video on em

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpbO5GqkBvQ

[acoustic trout]

@strange glacier

actually zachpowers

everyone in the comments are basically disagreeing with him

and many professional pc builders use it for high end builds

good choice my man

like pc centric

[stark forge]

about what ? sorry im preparing for an interview

[acoustic trout]

can u take the front bit off or smth?

[acoustic trout]

he was saying it feels cheap and isn't as properly built as other cases

but ppl were saying

[stark forge]

yeah its a good case espcially at the price point. great airflow, good performance. and overall just a solid case. I have a lan cool II mesh waiting to be built in

[acoustic trout]

theres quite alot 😂

[acoustic trout]

can u take the front panel off

the one that covers the fans

or...

[stark forge]

yes you should be able to .

[acoustic trout]

that'd look leng

[stark forge]

im not sure other then to replace the fans why you'd need to take the front panel off

[acoustic trout]

@stark forge what does this mean

[stark forge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/nie0c6/how_to_remove_lian_li_215s_front_panel/

[acoustic trout]

@stark forge

[acoustic trout]

ahem

[strange glacier]

It is a pretty barebones case, but it offers great airflow and temperatures

[strange glacier]

You just can’t use two SATA ports for traditional SSDs and HDDs whenever you use the first m.2 slot

[acoustic trout]

so what do i do then

[dreamy forge]

nothing

you likely won't populate all your sata ports

[acoustic trout]

when would i have used the sata ports and what difference is it without them

are there no other ports i can use for my ssd

[dreamy forge]

Depends on the ssd

[acoustic trout]

dyu wanna check it

[dreamy forge]

Sure

[acoustic trout]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZwWcnL

[dreamy forge]

It's fine

Parts are a bit pricey but oh well

[acoustic trout]

dyu mind modding it if u've got the time? 🙂

[dreamy forge]

I'm on my phone

Maybe tomorrow

[acoustic trout]

no worries

[acoustic trout]

it was for aesthetics and a bit of rgb, the psu and gpu r lended

do u mind telling me what exactly was over price @dreamy forge

[dreamy forge]

The 2600

[acoustic trout]

thats the cheapest it gets

if i changed the cpu everything else would have to change

unless of course im paying too much for something that won't offer or generate the same quality of performance

[acoustic trout]

ok. i think i'm just going to change my entire pcpartpicker. hello, beautiful people's, i've been changing and modding my pcpartpicker for the last 3 or 4 weeks now and i simply can't settle on one final one, i keep getting offered different components and new things keep coming out; prices keep fluctuating. i've come to the decision that i would really like if someone or more than one person can gather a pcpartpicker (end of today is deadline, i'm running out of time) bearing in mind tha my budget is capped at 510 without a gpu or psu. i am one for aesthetics and i indulge in good colour combinations such as white, white and black, preferably not red and black. this is a HUGE ask but i simply can't do this on my own. thank you so much, if you are willing to help and have the time 🙂

510 without op system btw

[stark forge]

Hate to be this guy but with shortages across the pc gaming industry. You may want to consider a prebuilt since you have such a low budget respectively
