prebuilds are for bitches

[quartz atlas]

Well, it's more or less the same price if I did everything myself actually and it looks heka great

[bleak owl]

Btw gygabyte custom

[teal shale]

bruh

gigabyte is like 33% of my pc

they sell good cheap stuff

[bleak owl]

yay then

i just dont like they design

[teal shale]

Yea the small rgb my gigabyte card has is kinda bruh moment

but the temperature is fine and the psu is pretty epic

so fine ill accept some weird design choices

my pc has barely any rgb anyways

[bleak owl]

bronze or gold?

the psu by gygabite is awesome

[teal shale]

gold one

[bleak owl]

yay then

the bronze is one is trash

[teal shale]

yea and this psu was actually pretty cheap compared to other 750w

[bleak owl]

is cheap even here

italy

[teal shale]

or at least from the ones I could buy

[bleak owl]

like 50 euro 750 watt

[teal shale]

ok so

so far I tested this pc with Destiny 2, Rainbow and recently Metro Exodus

Its handling the R T X pretty epically

[bleak owl]

metro with raytracing

[teal shale]

the VA is awful lmao

[bleak owl]

its raytracing not rtx

[teal shale]

aside from that its a pretty good game ngl

[bleak owl]

great game

a bit hard to get good ending tho

[teal shale]

so by default it chose Ultra settings but

I wanted to try E X T R E M E settings

[bleak owl]

VA is better than tn

but ips is da best

[teal shale]

And its still fine this pc can hold anything 1080p

oh and now I can finally play Rainbow without suffering because of how awful ps4 aiming is

[bleak owl]

i tried to play the ps4

my eyes were hurting

literaly

[teal shale]

yea the Terrorist mode is specially horrible

bruh 20fps

luckily on normal multiplayer its at 45 fps or something like that

[bleak owl]

Laugh in 144 fps 2k

Wait u have the white one from gigabyte? @teal shale

[teal shale]

yea the white gaming

[bleak owl]

Oof white one is dope

Do u know hof gpu?

From galax

[teal shale]

nopeth

[bleak owl]

[teal shale]

oh wow

that looks good but also expensive

[bleak owl]

This is hella expensive

[severe falcon]

My computer is finally showing its age

The cpu has now bottlenecked on the division 2

CPU: celebrates 7th birthday
Also CPU: 100% Usage

[bleak owl]

@severe falcon the division is shit

It's not ur hardware it's the optimazation of the game

[subtle hawk]

https://yamato.azur-lane.moe/media/kuy07.png

[severe falcon]

Well yeah, all goobisoft games have poor optimization

But i learned that the gpu failing to render an object means that the object doesnt have collision, so ive fallen through the floor several times in an hour of playtime

[stone sequoia]

So I was looking around the net and I stumbled upon an Azur Lane .NET Api (https://github.com/azurlane-api/AzurLane.Net) but I can't install it. Has anyone gotten around to installing it?

[vagrant holly]

[stone sequoia]

huh?

I fail to understand

[severe falcon]

@subtle hawk yo i have an interview in java in 4 days, wat do i study? trees and hashing are already on my list

[subtle hawk]

algorithms

[severe falcon]

do you have anything more specific? like i can figure out time and space complexity pretty well

O(n^2) means failure

[vagrant holly]

i only recently realized my GPU's default fan curve (without any software) is wack

only 1 of the 2 fans work unless it gets up to like 60 C°

and the temperature it perceives as an "acceptable" idle is 41-42 C°

i never realized couze i always had my pc under my desk and only recently decided to put it on the table to get more leg room so i can man spread all i want, and noticed one of the 2 fans weren't spinning

[severe falcon]

what, why would it not run both fans

[vagrant holly]

i have no idea, but by default, it's programmed to use only 1 fan unless it gets up to around 55-60 C°

then it uses both

it's fine now, i downloaded evga's own software to manage the fan curve, but that's still some weird programming

[severe falcon]

Guess who just accidently made blender use 4096 GB of RAM and watched their computer implode

"i used the pc for like 3 years not dust inside"
https://youtu.be/Zp2Mywh9BKI nice joke

[severe falcon]

my comp has dust filters and it still gets dusty

[bleak owl]

Same

[valid acorn]

Me and my friends trying to put the thermal paste in my processor. Thats only halfway

It took me about 30 ish screws to reach that point

[severe falcon]

why do you need thermal paste on the processor for a laptop?

[valid acorn]

Cuz why not, also its dry and came off easily on the copper

[severe falcon]

also which one is the processor

cuz i know its not anywhere near that fan

[valid acorn]

Its underneath the motherboard

And its a bit far from the fan

[severe falcon]

yeah

blowing on the processor is more effective than the cooling it has

[valid acorn]

Its clogged up with 5 years of collecting dusts, as well as the heat sink

[severe falcon]

how hot does it get?

does it trigger emergency thermal shutdown?

[valid acorn]

Hmmm

Hot day with high humidity w/out any cooling fan, yeah, 5 minutes and it triggers the emergency thermal shutdown

[severe falcon]

lol

thats nothing

[valid acorn]

[severe falcon]

my laptop used to be in air conditioning, with the fan running at max, on one of these, and it would still hit 90 C and emergency thermal shutdown

[valid acorn]

I bought the Cooler Master U2 plus just to fix the temperature issue

The U2 is the one that you can change the position of the fans, to wherever you want

[vagrant holly]

i checked the prices and that legit loooks like something you could build yourself for less than half the price

[severe falcon]

except the fans

[valid acorn]

i checked the prices and that legit loooks like something you could build yourself for less than half the price
@vagrant holly which

[vagrant holly]

the U2

[valid acorn]

Ah

Yeah

[bleak owl]

Lol

I teared down my laptop alone

[valid acorn]

Buy a cheap steel cage and what about the fan tho? Build out of titanium?

[bleak owl]

And u need two Ppl to teared a laptop

[vagrant holly]

nah the fans are cheap too

are they mf120s?

that's usually what they package with their cases

[quartz atlas]

I swear those laptop cooler things never work

[bleak owl]

? @vagrant holly

[valid acorn]

And u need two Ppl to teared a laptop :PepeLaugh:
@bleak owl thats cuz I never teared down my laptop, so I'm not playing the risky game

[quartz atlas]

At least not in my experience

[vagrant holly]

come on man, who pays 80 euros for a 120mm fan? you nuts?

[bleak owl]

Bruh moment

[severe falcon]

thats 3 of them with rgb

[quartz atlas]

I wanna get those fans for my future build, but the fact that they can only push air is deal breaking.

[bleak owl]

"Are they mf120s? "

[valid acorn]

I swear those laptop cooler things never work
Maybe not, they like to suck and store dusts on the heatsink

[severe falcon]

even cheap single color fans are like $10 a piece

[bleak owl]

Wrong pic

[quartz atlas]

@bleak owl o11d?

[bleak owl]

Yup

[quartz atlas]

Air cooled?

[bleak owl]

Liquid

[valid acorn]

Nitrogen

[quartz atlas]

Then why exhaust fans on the side panel?

[vagrant holly]

@bleak owl what you showed is a deepcool

[quartz atlas]

Or is there a radiator there that I'm too blind to see?

[vagrant holly]

this is a cooler master mf 140

[bleak owl]

Radiator on the top

[vagrant holly]

it's the 140 mm version

the 120mm is the mf 120

and it's cheaper than that

[bleak owl]

[quartz atlas]

Right exactly, if your radiator is at the top, why are you exhausting air through the side?

[bleak owl]

[vagrant holly]

there are even better options

like noctua's nfp12

[bleak owl]

I will let u guess why

[severe falcon]

@vagrant holly bruh the fan mat i got with 2 fans was $40

[vagrant holly]

dirt cheap

[quartz atlas]

Some weird ass air flow you got in your case bruh

[severe falcon]

also thats 4 pin, not usb

[vagrant holly]

alright 40 dollars is good

[bleak owl]

@quartz atlas watch the case better

[quartz atlas]

Ye, I'm lost. Explain to me will ya?

[vagrant holly]

if it even works

[quartz atlas]

Cuz from what I understand, you'd wan both bottom and side to be intake

[bleak owl]

Bottom there is no fan

[severe falcon]

no you just want it to go from front to back and go upward

[vagrant holly]

PSU

[quartz atlas]

@bleak owl so you have no intake?

[vagrant holly]

technically the psu usually sits at the bottom and that's were it gets its cooling, but generally, you want the back and top to be exhaust yes

but if you also have radiatior, it's common practice to have it on top

[bleak owl]

No need for intake

[quartz atlas]

@vagrant holly psu for this case sits behind in the other chamber iirc

[bleak owl]

Yea Is behind

[quartz atlas]

So 2 exhausts but no intake

[vagrant holly]

oh hold up you actually got a lian li?

you mad man

[bleak owl]

No need for intake

[valid acorn]

My friend claims that Dell laptops (like mine) can customize the processor, I wonder if its possible to upgrade mine

[vagrant holly]

HAHAHAHAHA

[bleak owl]

No

[quartz atlas]

What

[severe falcon]

laptops are soldered

[quartz atlas]

Is your friend smoking

[bleak owl]

Well wait

[severe falcon]

youre lucky if you can change the ram

[valid acorn]

Probably

[bleak owl]

Old laptop yes

[vagrant holly]

you can change ram and hard drive

[severe falcon]

not even old laptops

[vagrant holly]

but not the cpu

[valid acorn]

I did upgrade my RAM

[severe falcon]

mine from 2010 was soldered

[valid acorn]

And changed to SSD

[bleak owl]

I teared down a old laptop and the mobo has a detachable socket

[valid acorn]

Mine is I think 2014

[severe falcon]

yeah theres no way

also you would have to check literally everything about its power

[valid acorn]

My friend took my processor off the motherboard for just a quick look

[severe falcon]

because you probably cant get a processor that needs more power

[bleak owl]

[valid acorn]

Same with mine, took off with just a lock

[severe falcon]

huh

[bleak owl]

[quartz atlas]

Wtf

That's a laptop?

[bleak owl]

Yup

[quartz atlas]

[valid acorn]

the inside

[quartz atlas]

I mean

I took mine apart occasionally to clean it

I know I can replace the mxm gpu

But the cpu? That shit is soldered af.

And mines a thick ass 17inch gaming brick that you can barely call a laptop

[vagrant holly]

never knew non soldered cpu laptops still existed

[bleak owl]

Is a old one

Very old one

[quartz atlas]

And mines from 2014 too

[bleak owl]

I teared down for fun

[vagrant holly]

nice

[quartz atlas]

@bleak owl won't the side exhaust fight with your radiator for air flow?

[bleak owl]

The radiator is exhaust too

[valid acorn]

Mine is 17 inch, and I can barely call my office laptop, a laptop. Cuz its heavy compare the weight of the office laptops nowadays

[severe falcon]

wait

you have no intake?

[quartz atlas]

Ye exactly. So instead of the air being all pushed out by your rad, it's also being pushed out the the deepcools

So, there's less available air for the rad

[bleak owl]

Like there is no airflow just air pushed out

[severe falcon]

yeah thats really bad

cuz there is 100% airflow in the case

cuz its sucking through everywhere that isnt airtight

[bleak owl]

Need more fans

[severe falcon]

and its full of negative pressure

your radiator is basically useless

[quartz atlas]

I'm probably gonna get the same case too, and I was gonna put rad up top and intake fans below or at the side where it's filtered

[bleak owl]

Wait

Is exhaust push inside or outside?

[quartz atlas]

Out

[severe falcon]

exhaust is push outside

[bleak owl]

If u put the fans in intake isn't the air stucked in the case?

[severe falcon]

you match with intake and exhaust

[quartz atlas]

Fans can be mounted to pull air in

[severe falcon]

so that air flows

[bleak owl]

And exit to the top?

[severe falcon]

cuz the radiator needs airflow to work

[quartz atlas]

Yes

Which is why I want intake fans below to pull more air in from the bottom

[bleak owl]

[severe falcon]

like if it was me, i would make the side fans intake, and the top fans exhaust

[quartz atlas]

I don't want air to be coming in from the behind where there isn't a filter, which will likely happen if I don't have intake fans.

[bleak owl]

Well the deepcool fans can only be mounted in one way

[severe falcon]

so swap the fans

[quartz atlas]

Yups that's why I said they were a deal breaker for me

[bleak owl]

I should buy more fans and mount on the bottom

Can't swap

[severe falcon]

i assume the radiator fans can be flipped around

are they different sizes?

[quartz atlas]

But if he swap the rad fan, he won't get to enjoy the wonderful aesthetic of the deepcools

[bleak owl]

Yup

[severe falcon]

uhh the deepcools will be on the top, glowing downward

[bleak owl]

[severe falcon]

and lighting up the entire mobo

[quartz atlas]

Ye, no, that's not the point of them.

The deepcools are a show piece

[severe falcon]

and they are still visible

[bleak owl]

no

[quartz atlas]

No, you need to see them upfront

Like that's the whole point of paying that much $ for them

[bleak owl]

And those can't be flipped

[severe falcon]

listen

if they cant be flipped, i wouldnt buy them

[bleak owl]

[severe falcon]

case airflow and pressure is a MASSIVE balancing act for cooling

[bleak owl]

But they are gorgeous

[quartz atlas]

Thus why, the lacking of a pull config is deal breaking for me

[severe falcon]

if you have all intake, your case becomes an oven

all exhaust, and theres no air for radiators

[quartz atlas]

Maybe I can find a way to mount the rad to the side instead

But, if I'm going with the distro plate

[severe falcon]

if the pipes are long enough

[quartz atlas]

That's gonna be a huge hassle

[bleak owl]

Well I can flip the radiator fan

Brb

[bleak owl]

@quartz atlasomg I just realized that radiator and middle fans are all in intake

[severe falcon]

flip the radiator fans

are there 2 or 3 rad fans?

and by middle, do you mean the deepcools?

[bleak owl]

2

Yea I am flipping them rn

Yea deepcool

And the aio is from deepcool as well so deepcool fans

But not the mf120s

[severe falcon]

yeah thats good, cuz the 3 intake will balance with the 2 rad exhaust and the GPU

[bleak owl]

So

3 in take in the middle

And 2 exhaust on the rad

[severe falcon]

ye

your GPU will probably run cooler

[bleak owl]

Thanks

[severe falcon]

maybe slight improvement on the CPU, but not sure

[bleak owl]

I was too tired building this pc that I forgot which way is exhaust and intake

[bleak owl]

[severe falcon]

yeeeeee

can you control the lights with software?

[vast sand]

Why not corsairs ML120s tho

I'm getting those for my rig and they seem to work really fking good

[subtle hawk]

god those fans look ugly as shit

I'm using LLs

they look a lot better

[severe falcon]

bruh i have found a look that i need to have when i build my next comp

the ring glow looks so good

[bleak owl]

Bcs corsair is shit

Yea there is a software for the dgb

[severe falcon]

@subtle hawk yo what is the difference between the Ryzen 7 3700X and the Ryzen 7 2700 that would cause a $150 difference other than the 0.4 Ghz increase in clock?

i also forgot to get the case fans

stupid newegg

yeah so for the same price as 3 of those corsairs, i get 6 rosewills

[severe falcon]

ok i think the build is done
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/b8FzXv

[bleak owl]

i have a rosewill psu

[severe falcon]

actually i think i have a rosewill

its far too much for what im using it for

750W on a system that needs like 400W

[bleak owl]

I have a 1k watts rosewill capstone psu

On a 550watts build

[severe falcon]

lol

[bleak owl]

Well I bought it for 75€

[severe falcon]

thats a good deal

[quartz atlas]

Amd gpu

[severe falcon]

actually

a friend reminded me that AMD drivers are worse than garbage so i switched it for a 2070

[quartz atlas]

@severe falcon honestly unless you're in rush, I'd wait for eoy. Even rdna2 looks promising if they price it low as heck. That is if you wanna go with amd.

[severe falcon]

ehhh

ill probably stick with nvidia just cuz it has more support in game dev

[quartz atlas]

But a year is a long time so just go ahead if you aren't willing to wait a year.

Are you in the states?

[severe falcon]

ye

[quartz atlas]

I'd try and snag a gpu off r/hardwareswap if I were you. Most still have warranty on them, and gpu don't really fail that easily.

[severe falcon]

ehh id rather just get brand new everything and just let it slowly work itself to obsoletion over the next 7 years

[quartz atlas]

Ive seen prices of $400 for a 2080 super, just saying

But ye, 2nd hand isn't for everyone

[severe falcon]

see the newer stuff is where its sketchy

i wouldnt trust that 2080

if it even existed

[quartz atlas]

Nah man, the sub is modded pretty nicely, there's a "verification" system in place, and even if you received a bad product, you're protected by PayPal goods and services.

[severe falcon]

ah

tbh i have no clue how my comp is still running

the newest part on it is the mobo, and thats 3 years old, the gpu is 5 years old, and everything else is 7 years old

[quartz atlas]

why build it yourself if you can get prebuilt for cheaper

I'm strongly considering ek fluid gaming when the time comes

[bleak owl]

650 can handle a 9900k a 2080ti

And cyber power pre-built are shit

[vast sand]

the 2080ti cnfm use blower one

[quartz atlas]

Shit but it's still value even if you just rip out gpu, processor, storage, and case. You're already getting more than your money's worth.

[vast sand]

then the temps cnfm damn bad

80+degs under heavy load

[bleak owl]

Wait wut

[vast sand]

16gb memory

didnt specify what speed

1666mhz ddr3 on 3900x

[bleak owl]

1700$ r9 3900 and 2080ti how

[vast sand]

@bleak owlprobably theb2080ti is some really badly made one

[bleak owl]

Anyways

Like wtf

How

[vast sand]

bad 2080ti

its gonna be some weird blower card from asus or smth

[bleak owl]

Even if the 2080ti is bad

[vast sand]

I mean you could buy it an salvage the stuff

[bleak owl]

[vast sand]

[bleak owl]

Purpose of the pc?

[vast sand]

gaming+video editing

[bleak owl]

[vast sand]

4k renders+2k gaming

i could get a 3900x but i'll rather save that money to get better fans

sleeved cables

etc

[quartz atlas]

@vast sand shipping die bro.

[vast sand]

@quartz atlas $500 shipping

[quartz atlas]

Not worth

[vast sand]

if my dad fly go usa i ask him buy then bribg back

How much does a thermal paste cost

[bleak owl]

5$?

The kyrounaut is like 15$

[quartz atlas]

I'm not buying anything anytime soon

I'm waiting for end of this year

Or maybe even next year tbh

[wary depot]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[stone wave]

considering current trade disruptions are prices for tech dropping? I haven't been keeping track

[vagrant holly]

wait for the end of the pandemic when companies are overstocked because nobody bought anything out of fear for the virus and now they have to sell at mad low prices

[quartz atlas]

That's not how any of this works

Currently it's supply that's fked

So if anything

Prices will be going up

But why would a virus affect tech prices

Tech isn't a commodity

[severe falcon]

it kindof is

[teal shale]

Bruh

[quartz atlas]

Not at all honestly.

[teal shale]

well the factories where the parts are made are located at the affected countries

it would affect supply

[severe falcon]

ok so the 2080s arent commodity, but computers themselves are

[teal shale]

yea everyone needs a 2060

[severe falcon]

like i dont think you can physically get through college without a computer

at least in the US

[quartz atlas]

That's not what commodity means

[teal shale]

can confim from other country

[severe falcon]

ok not commodity, but necessity

it is something you absolutely must have

[quartz atlas]

A farmer needs a computer for?

It's not a necessity for majority of the the world population

[severe falcon]

well smart farmers would def need computers or people with computers to efficiently run a farm and sell produce

[quartz atlas]

[severe falcon]

the science of farming is def like a bachelors minimum in US college

[quartz atlas]

I mean u can get a bachelor of pretty much anything in the states

And us farming is very different from the rest of the world

[severe falcon]

yeah but i mean you would need that much info to succeed in farming

[quartz atlas]

Majority of farmers are peasents that's poor as fuck and barely educated

[severe falcon]

well yeah, but US farming kinda has to support a giant population at any point of the year

yeah and they only sell locally

probably they sell it themselves

[quartz atlas]

None of those farmers sell majority of their produce locally oh god

Companies buy from them for export

[severe falcon]

why would companies want to buy horrible produce?

[quartz atlas]

And us is mainly for export too

Wym horrible produce

[severe falcon]

well yeah but we have an insane amount of science to make the produce as good as possible

[quartz atlas]

Where do you think your rice comes from

[severe falcon]

rice is simple tho

its not like a tomato, or lettuce, carrots etc

[quartz atlas]

Oh and corn and soy is so complicated

[severe falcon]

heres the thing cleve, you dont notice if the rice is 25% smaller

[quartz atlas]

U can grow lettuce and carrots in a drain

[severe falcon]

yeah

you can grow anythign anywhere

that doesnt mean its gonna be good

[quartz atlas]

And you think the mass farming going on in the states are targeting "good" produce?

[severe falcon]

well yeah

[quartz atlas]

It's a very well known fact that small independent farmers produce much better shit than commercial farms

[severe falcon]

you get more money that way

[quartz atlas]

No you don't. You get more money from more pure tonnage. Commercial farming doesn't care if the shit is good.

[severe falcon]

you know most produce is by weight right?

[quartz atlas]

pure tonnage

Evidently

[severe falcon]

so the bigger and heavier the tomato, the more you have to pay for it

[quartz atlas]

The bigger and heavier 1 tomato is. The less an individual plant produces.

Aka less tonnage/acre

[severe falcon]

how do you figure that?

[quartz atlas]

And also, big tomatoes are often tasteless

Boi

I'm a farmer back in China

My family are farmers

[severe falcon]

so youve crossbred tomatoes and found that the bigger ones produced less tomatoes?

[quartz atlas]

Grain in summer. Peanuts and corn in autumn. Greens all year round.

[severe falcon]

and they also lose taste?

[quartz atlas]

Those facts are a simple Google away if you don't trust me.

Do you not realise the expensive as heck heirloom and organic tomatoes are more often than not pretty small?

Also how did we go from tech to farming

[severe falcon]

idk

but guess what

you need tech to understand the tomato's mysteries

[quartz atlas]

Ah right, the tomatoes you're eating now are bred from tech

[severe falcon]

now peppers are just black magic

like satanic worship is what fuels the crossbreeding

"so lets take this 700k scoville pepper and combine it with this 1 million scoville pepper, and now we have a 2.3 million scoville pepper"

[quartz atlas]

You do know. Majority of produce breeds that you're eating, are decades old right?

[severe falcon]

well yeah

cuz those were the best

[quartz atlas]

Well now, gmo crops

[severe falcon]

but nature is weird so there might be better ones

[quartz atlas]

That's a different story

[severe falcon]

the peppers are crossbred tho

like thats actually the story of the hottest pepper in the world

[quartz atlas]

Ye it is

[severe falcon]

they took 700k and 1 mil and got 2.3 mil

[quartz atlas]

I love spicy stuff

[severe falcon]

like tf is the math on that

[quartz atlas]

I actually have reaper flakes

[severe falcon]

it also looks like death

[quartz atlas]

Everything we're eating now is a product of cross and selective breeding actually.

[severe falcon]

plant: makes fruit spicy so that animals dont eat it
humans: "mmm this is tasty, but i want it hotter"
plant: ABSOLUTE FEAR

[quartz atlas]

Have u seen the original corn

It's literally inedible

[severe falcon]

ye

which is something that they kinda got right in dr stone

[quartz atlas]

Crossbreeding is the old way

And after we have the tech to make gmo

People start screaming ew no

Like

Bruh

Gmos can literally solve our current food crisis

[severe falcon]

yeah we def need to have genetically modified stuff

like everything

[quartz atlas]

It's just like antivax

Yikes

Fear mongering from people who don't understand shit

They rather have their food sprayed with chemicals than have it naturally repel pests 🥴

[severe falcon]

well they cant really just let it naturally do that

chemicals are bad, but natural pest repelling kinda doesnt work

[quartz atlas]

As in there are gmos that are modified to repel pests

[valid acorn]

I wonder how we jumped onto the farming sector?

[severe falcon]

WHAT

oh cuz tech and then farming

[quartz atlas]

Tech and farming

How tech is very much involved in modern farming

[severe falcon]

ye

you gotta get that degree for it

[valid acorn]

Nice cover up

[severe falcon]

no like

thats ACTUALLY how it happened

[valid acorn]

[quartz atlas]

You guys have fun. Imma sleep

[severe falcon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DZf6Nq

[tame topaz]

@severe falcon Meshify C's a nice choice but I thought you wanted more drives

[severe falcon]

nah

i have 2 HDDs and then ill use the M.2

[tame topaz]

Makes sense.

And why no Super?

[severe falcon]

price

originally it was a sapphire 5700xt nitro

but then i was reminded that amd has trash drivers

and that 2070 was same price

[tame topaz]

2070S is quite a bit pricier than I thought

What about monitor then?

[severe falcon]

im gonna just figure that out after

i know i want at least 2 tho

60 hz is fine

[tame topaz]

Nice

1440p then

keyboard seems okay enough

[severe falcon]

yeah i like the membrane keyboards

[tame topaz]

I got a mechanical combo for 30 bucks just a few weeks ago

[severe falcon]

and it so cheap

[tame topaz]

It's up to 42 now

That said if you wanna go mechanical there are a lot of good Chinese options also for just under 50

[severe falcon]

nah i like membrane better than mechanical

[tame topaz]

Interesting

[severe falcon]

i used the cooler master devastator for 6 years, so my fingers cant deal with anything else

[tame topaz]

You've tried mech keys before?

[severe falcon]

ye

didnt really like them

[tame topaz]

First time I've heard someone prefer membrane to mechs, dang

@severe falcon for something reputable, go Corsair! https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-K55-RGB-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B07CQBZG7K/ref=sr_1_4?crid=C6YBBM9E836&keywords=corsair+essential+gaming+bundle&qid=1582738675&sprefix=corsair+essn%2Caps%2C387&sr=8-4

With macros and fancy software-controlled lighting!

[severe falcon]

doesnt come with mouse

[tame topaz]

Then I'll find one!

[severe falcon]

also i like giant mice

[tame topaz]

So no Harpoon then

I normally don't like claw grip but the Harpoon feels pretty nice somehow

[tame topaz]

Yeesh

[tame topaz]

https://www.newegg.com/p/32N-001R-000X2?Description=k55&cm_re=k55-_-32N-001R-000X2-_-Product&quicklink=true

[severe falcon]

big chonk mouse

[tame topaz]

But here's a more all-in-one bundle if you're interested

Giant in terms of width or length?

[severe falcon]

both

like i used to rest my entire hand on that mouse

my wrist would float

[tame topaz]

Claw grip can be uncomfy

Especially when the mouse forces it on you

[severe falcon]

no see the mouse was so big i was doing palm

[tame topaz]

oh I see

Palm is also my preferred type

What's the length of your current one?

[severe falcon]

like standard

cuz the one i showed broke

the middle click stopped working

[tame topaz]

wdym standard

[severe falcon]

like your average wired mouse at work or school

its the same size

[tame topaz]

If you wanna stick to Cooler Master: https://www.newegg.com/cooler-master-cm-310-kkwo2-cm310-usb-2-0-wired/p/N82E16826570036

5 inches long.

[severe falcon]

but this seems fine

it comes with the keyboard i selected

[tame topaz]

Yeah I guess that's pretty decent too

[severe falcon]

i just need to add a giant mousepad

[tame topaz]

I suppose you don't wanna spend too much on peripherals

Mousepad, got you covered! https://www.newegg.com/steelseries-qck-edge-xl/p/N82E16826995152?Description=qck xl&cm_re=qck_xl-_-26-995-152-_-Product

[severe falcon]

boi

thats a decent mouspad

only one problem

THERE ARE NO WAIFUS ON IT

[tame topaz]

Gotchu covered, hold on

[severe falcon]

[tame topaz]

https://drop.com/buy/varmilo-koi-desk-mats

Not quite what you want, but close enough.

[severe falcon]

yeah ill figure those out later

but those case fans are so good

[tame topaz]

ARGB or just normal RGB?

[severe falcon]

they are so cheap and will last forever

uhhh

addressable means the comp can control it right?

[tame topaz]

no, it's more like you get more cool effects out of it

Since every single LED can be controlled individually

[severe falcon]

i think its addressable then

[tame topaz]

Hence "addressable"

[severe falcon]

like it can do rainbow cycles and breathing

[tame topaz]

Yep, addressable.

Still sticking with that KB&M combo?

[severe falcon]

ye

[tame topaz]

Sure thing

I'd invest a little more myself. That K55 seems gud.

[severe falcon]

is it membrane tho?

[tame topaz]

Yes

[severe falcon]

see i just need a good mouse

the one in that pack you sent was pretty meh

and i already have void pros

[tame topaz]

Want a bit of a power trip? https://www.newegg.com/logitech-910-003820-g602-usb-rf-wireless/p/N82E16826104914

Wireless, a fuckton of side buttons and more

[severe falcon]

wireless is meh

wired > wireless in everything except headphones

[tame topaz]

https://www.newegg.com/logitech-910-005728-g502-se-hero/p/N82E16826197353?Description=g502 se&cm_re=g502_se-_-26-197-353-_-Product

A classic, though I've heard it's pretty heavy.

If you want to control both your KB&M in a single software: https://www.newegg.com/corsair-ch-9308011-na-m55-rgb-pro-usb-2-0-wired/p/N82E16826816134?Description=corsair mouse&cm_re=corsair_mouse-_-26-816-134-_-Product

[stone wave]

Go the fuck money route

[tame topaz]

lol

LIGHTSPEED RESCUE

[severe falcon]

is that wireless with no charging required?

[stone wave]

yeah

[tame topaz]

The mousepad is the charger

[stone wave]

^

[tame topaz]

Expensive as fuck though

[severe falcon]

extreme brain

except the mousepad doesnt have waifus

[tame topaz]

Hence why they call it PowerPlay

If you want chonk, I'll give you chonk. https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-M65-ELITE-RGB-Adjustable/dp/B07KL2L19Q/ref=pd_sbs_147_t_1/147-4746478-2399331?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07KL2L19Q&pd_rd_r=3e6b0ffc-233a-4c56-8cf4-bfca3c1a2318&pd_rd_w=wUOdn&pd_rd_wg=YFtyg&pf_rd_p=5cfcfe89-300f-47d2-b1ad-a4e27203a02a&pf_rd_r=MGN2YMNJDFQYN6P41QAR&psc=1&refRID=MGN2YMNJDFQYN6P41QAR

Preety short tho, so probably not.

It's chonk in terms of width, at least

Claw grip only so extra nope

[severe falcon]

wait

https://www.newegg.com/corsair-ch-9302011-na-glaive-rgb-usb-wired/p/N82E16826816075

[tame topaz]

Ah, the Glaive.

[severe falcon]

i think imma go with corsair then

[tame topaz]

It's pretty damn heavy

[severe falcon]

cuz i already have to have th software for my headset

I LIKE EM CHONKY

[tame topaz]

Corsair all the way eh

Go ahead then

I'll edit it for you

tfw mouse even more expensive than keyboard

[vast sand]

@quartz atlas my case no space do water cooling

mATX cases

[tame topaz]

@severe falcon wait hold on how about going Razer

I see the Deathadder Elite being sold for 33

[severe falcon]

if im not going corsair, im just gonna stick with rosewill

[tame topaz]

Alright, Glaive it is

[severe falcon]

technically i could buy my coolermaster stuff again, but they dont have full rgb

[tame topaz]

They do have rgb stuff

[severe falcon]

no like its only 8 colors

like i could buy my EXACT coolermaster stuff again

but its not over the full range of rgb

[tame topaz]

They used to sell the Masterkeys Lite L but it seems like they got discontinued

Well this seems interesting

https://www.newegg.com/black-cooler-master-ms110-mem-chanical-switch/p/N82E16823129104?Description=cooler master keyboard&cm_re=cooler_master_keyboard-_-23-129-104-_-Product

Mouse is pretty damn short though, so nope!

Jesus, why are all these mice in these combos so tiny?!

That said the Devastator mouse doesn't seem that far off

Pricier option: https://www.newegg.com/p/1DH-00PD-00001?Description=cooler master keyboard&cm_re=cooler_master_keyboard-_-1DH-00PD-00001-_-Product

[severe falcon]

or wait

the one i had was mem-chanical

[tame topaz]

yes

The Mastersets have it as well

And still has the Devastator-like stubby mouse

[severe falcon]

https://www.newegg.com/black-cooler-master-devastator-ii-cm-mem-chanical/p/N82E16823129044

the devstator is not a stubby mouse

[tame topaz]

It's 4.7 in

These Masterset mice seem about the same so go for it

[severe falcon]

how are they measuring it

cuz the mouse i have at work is 4.5 inches, and the devastator is far bigger than it

[tame topaz]

https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/peripheral/keyboards/devastator-ii/

Says so in the specs

[severe falcon]

huh

maybe its wider then?

[tame topaz]

Maybe

[severe falcon]

oh well

ill figure it out

[tame topaz]

This seems good to me https://www.newegg.com/black-cooler-master-ms110-mem-chanical-switch/p/N82E16823129104?Description=cooler master keyboard&cm_re=cooler_master_keyboard-_-23-129-104-_-Product

If you wanna go CM again

If not then just splurge on that Corsair combo

[severe falcon]

hmmm

ill just need to get some kind of wrist support to go with the CM

[tame topaz]

You fine with it being wider than the keyboard?

[severe falcon]

ye

[tame topaz]

https://www.newegg.com/enhance-enpcpsf100bkew/p/N82E16826976027?Description=wrist rest&cm_re=wrist_rest-_-26-976-027-_-Product&quicklink=true

Quite big

For something a bit less big, go Rosewill. https://www.newegg.com/rosewill-rkwr-200/p/N82E16826997082?Description=wrist rest&cm_re=wrist_rest-_-26-997-082-_-Product&quicklink=true

[severe falcon]

ye the rosewill for sure

[tame topaz]

Alright, we're set then

We're sticking with CM

There's also a 70 buck combo if you're interested

[severe falcon]

yo why dont they put wrist support on the mouse itself

[tame topaz]

cost cutting?

https://www.newegg.com/p/1DH-00PD-00001?Description=ms121&cm_re=ms121-_-1DH-00PD-00001-_-Product&quicklink=true

I still think the cheaper combo looks better

[severe falcon]

yeah the cheaper is better

[tame topaz]

What about mousepad?

[severe falcon]

BOOBS

[tame topaz]

The combo is cheaper on Amazon so it's going in the listing

Even cheaper than the Rosewill one

[severe falcon]

yeah amazon or newegg is fine

[tame topaz]

if you want boobs you might as well get it custom printed

[severe falcon]

hipper mousepad

absolutely cursed

[tame topaz]

https://www.varmilo.com/keyboardproscenium/en_product_indexsubject?layout=80&model=Deskmat

Varmilo! They sell all these deskmats with nice designs.

Intended to go with their mech keyboards.

Take a look at the Koi series if you want something close to waifu.

https://www.varmilo.com/keyboardproscenium/en_subject_product_detailed?subjectid=162

This one looks nice.

[severe falcon]

ehh might just get it custom

[tame topaz]

Tru

Get the Qck for plainest possible then

Are you interested in RGB mousepads by any chance?

[severe falcon]

bruh

could i get an RGB waifu mousepad?

[tame topaz]

uh no

WAIT WAIT WAIT

[severe falcon]

like just a solid rgb mousepad, and then print the waifu on top of it

[tame topaz]

https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Draconem-Compatible-Non-Slip-MP-DCM-RGBHMS-09/dp/B07QCF4DK3

It's not XL, but it is waifu

Miku to be exact
