[real galleon]

[brisk parcel]

LTT is making one lmao

[real galleon]

ofc

[brisk parcel]

hmm i honestly don't really know

gimme a sec to remember a few things

like 2 mins

[real galleon]

ty bb

[brisk parcel]

tbh I really don't know

what kinda stuff do have already

[real galleon]

just sound stuff off chief

[brisk parcel]

dang man

aside from that and RGB, i really don't know what else you'd want

you could just google "cool pc peripherals" or something like that

[real galleon]

i did already 😦

[jovial scaffold]

Maybe just be content

[real galleon]

NO

THERE MUST BE MORE

[jovial scaffold]

sigh

[real galleon]

dang

I literally just checked websites

do people

use a dac/amp with a usb interface?

[west hornet]

no i have it separate

[real galleon]

how so

Cause I like to directly monitor my audio when I stream

[west hornet]

I only hook up my interface for mic and sometimes headphones in some application, and have dac/amp for normal use

[real galleon]

ah i see

too bad schiit doesnt make xlr usb ai's

[west hornet]

you can always monitor input through windows settings

[real galleon]

there's always lag :/

[west hornet]

yeah a bit

[real galleon]

i guess i can get a vr headset LOL

nah its kind of a niche

[west hornet]

I want beat saber so bad

[real galleon]

Is a vr headset my next flex on newegg peripherals chat

[jovial scaffold]

Good luck finding one

[west hornet]

lol

oculus is all sold out

[real galleon]

The vive 😄

[jovial scaffold]

That would actually impressive if you could find a rift

Idk bout vr tho, not sure what a vive is lol

[real galleon]

`htc vive

YOu can flip people off with it

[jovial scaffold]

K

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't have much if any interest in vr lol

[real galleon]

tbh same

[gaunt fossil]

Guys is there any mechanical keyboard that is silent

Like silent enough that someone 5 meters away would barely be able to hear anything

If anything at all

Also if there are key switches like that can I find something like that for under 75

[young vine]

yeah

@gaunt fossil cherry mx red silent

corsair strife has it.

won't find it for under 75 though

[real galleon]

or just get a membrane keyboard

kap

[mossy viper]

is this monitor any good "Dell s2719dgf 27-inch Gaming Monitor". i found it used for 250 im looking for a monitor under 260.
using it for mostly gaming and some work

[gaunt fossil]

whats the heapest cheery mc silent red

[hazy fiber]

@mossy viper
I have that moniter. It's quite good, I got mine in decent shape for $200. If you get something like the preditor series, they are much better quality and higher refresh rate, but for a budget... They aren't bad displays. I will be passing mine on to my sister in favor of two preditor screens

It overclocks to 120hz, so it can be nice for gaming as well as work

Wait, mine might be different... It's the S2417dg, not sg2417dgf

[real galleon]

wait

[zealous torrent]

how is the ducky one 2 mini?

thinking about buying it

also, how to hide keyboard and mouse cables off desk?

[real galleon]

drill a hole!

Or get a wireless keyboard and mice

[hazy fiber]

I don't see the point in wireless keyboards for desktops. You're not moving it around, and you gotta charge it anyway so you aren't cable free

[wanton wagon]

Could someone help me with my new router its asking some stuff idk about

[young vine]

like?

[wanton wagon]

oh wait

one sec

doesnt help

So the modem/router has wireless, but no internet

and idk where I plug the internet in

[young vine]

the yellow port.

[wanton wagon]

Yeah, except I dont have one of those in my house

I think

[young vine]

the one labeled "internet"

[wanton wagon]

I mean into the wall idk where

[young vine]

How do you not?

how did you have internet before...

[wanton wagon]

vdsl router

idk

lemme look around

[young vine]

so look

where is your modem.

[wanton wagon]

before I had a modem router combo from my isp

[young vine]

ok

[wanton wagon]

im replacing it with another modem router combo

[young vine]

another vdsl combo?

[wanton wagon]

yep

[young vine]

so then you plug it in the same way...

using the same wires.

[wanton wagon]

but then it doesnt work

[young vine]

explain.

what modem/router is it.

[wanton wagon]

Old one looks like this at back

wait no thats not new one

this is new one

[young vine]

how does the manual say to hook it up

[wanton wagon]

it doesnt say anything about plugging in the internet port

and neither does the tutorial video they have

couldI have plugged in the vdsl wrong?

[young vine]

well it only goes in one way.

[wanton wagon]

This is manual

[young vine]

what make/model

[wanton wagon]

wait it says "If you set up the modem router for a dsl connection you do not need to use the red internet port"

lemme try something one sec

But it is

Aight imma use literally everything that I did to connect the old router

If it doesnt work then rip

[young vine]

since it's a combo, you might have to call your provider to enable it

most providers have a certain select modems you can use.

you can't just buy a random and expect it to work.

[wanton wagon]

Well I contacted the company who makes the router modem and they said it works fine with my provider

And there are a ton of reviews on amazon saying it works

[young vine]

so then this is a user error.

call them up and ask them for help.

[wanton wagon]

Yeah

im doing that then

[primal tusk]

@wanton wagon plug the RJ45 jack cable that comes from the Filter or from the wall and plug it into the Grey Jack on the modem that says VDSL that should give you the DSL connection then follow the instructions http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/D7800/D7800_QSG_EN.pdf?cid=wmt_netgear_organic the red jack on the router is for using the Combo as a Router only

You may have to call your ISP if it doesn't Auto connect

[wanton wagon]

is the rj45 the thing that looks like mini ethernet cable

I tried 2 different filters and it said the same error

[primal tusk]

yes it should come from either a Wall Phone jack plate or from a Filter the filter is there if your also using the same outlet for a phone if there isn't a phone then you probably don't have a filter

[wanton wagon]

I have a filter that they gave me, and one that I have from the old router

I plugged it into the wall and it just says it doesnt work

Is there a specific one I need to plugi ti into?

plug it into*

[primal tusk]

the phone jack unless you have a specific jack on the wall for DSL

[wanton wagon]

well I used one that worked with the old router

[primal tusk]

it should work with the new router

[wanton wagon]

I was on the phone with support but then I had to go to a class

on the amazon reviews it said that they had easy connect and it worked

imma call again but then idk

[primal tusk]

I provide the Pdf link for the manual and you may have to call your isp and have them walk you thru it some are easy and some are not have you tried rebooting it a few times

[wanton wagon]

yeah

I have the manual

and a tutorial video

[primal tusk]

do any of the lights blink

[wanton wagon]

they are all on

[primal tusk]

are you or have you tried using the Phone app for set up?

[wanton wagon]

no

one sec on call

[primal tusk]

did you plug in the correct username and password for your ISP it wont connect if it cant connect to your account

[wanton wagon]

it didnt bring one up

my provider changed it so none is htere

These are all the lights

[primal tusk]

Did you follow these steps https://kb.netgear.com/22717/How-do-I-set-up-my-NETGEAR-DSL-Modem-Router-using-the-router-web-interface

[wanton wagon]

I need to plug an ethernet cable in?

[primal tusk]

are you using it just for wireless or as a router also ?

[wanton wagon]

oh wait

do I need to remove my current one off the connection

[primal tusk]

if this sits near a pc id use a Ethernet cable and connect the router to the pc otherwise your going to need the phone app to log into the modem to set it up

[wanton wagon]

yeah its right next to my pc

[primal tusk]

so plug your pcs either net to port one on the router or any of the yellow ports

[wanton wagon]

ok

what do I do after that

[primal tusk]

then using your pc you want to type in the routers address its provided in the last link

[wanton wagon]

well when connecting to wireless it automatically brings upa web page

[primal tusk]

so when the app opened did it walk you thru a set up?

[wanton wagon]

I didnt use the app

its a webpage

[primal tusk]

or webpage

[wanton wagon]

yes and on the final step it said no dsl connection found

[primal tusk]

did you plug in info on step 6 for your PPPoE connect your your name and password ?

[wanton wagon]

That never showed up

They dont do that anymore with my provider because it was too hard to find

[primal tusk]

when you did it the first time did you have the cable plugged into the VDSL jack or the red internet jack

[wanton wagon]

vdsl

[primal tusk]

whos your provider you may have to call them and have them walk you thru it

[wanton wagon]

Sky Broadband

But on the routers reviews and stuff all of the ones said it was easy to setup with mine

besides the password, but they updated that

[primal tusk]

I think you should have seen this if your setting it up as a DSL connection

[wanton wagon]

send the whole list

[primal tusk]

this was just a capture from this link https://kb.netgear.com/22717/How-do-I-set-up-my-NETGEAR-DSL-Modem-Router-using-the-router-web-interface the one I posted earlier step by step on setting up a dsl connection

[wanton wagon]

ah nvm I got to 5 sorry

and then it didnt let me past that

[primal tusk]

you can try this one but its setting it up manually you may still need info from your isp https://kb.netgear.com/21931/How-do-I-configure-ADSL-settings-on-my-NETGEAR-DSL-Modem-Router-using-the-router-web-interface

[real galleon]

^

man I was excited

I thought people were talking about headphones or stuff again

[west hornet]

lol

[wanton wagon]

Aight imma just disconnect old one and try again

[primal tusk]

I thought Electronics talked more about headphones lol I couldn't sleep so I'm probably
going to have a massive headache later on

[west hornet]

well lately there been a lot of headphone talk in here ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[primal tusk]

I'd hook your old one back up and get your login ID and password from it then try again

last resort call your isp and have them walk you through it

[wanton wagon]

Yeah

Sisters taking a test so cant rn

[primal tusk]

@west hornet ever watched zreviews on you tube he covers a lot of things but his forte is headphones

[west hornet]

i've seen a few reviews from him ya

[primal tusk]

hes got a discord channel as well

[west hornet]

the only audio discord i am in rn is podcastage, i might check it out

[primal tusk]

@wanton wagon might as well watch this video too https://youtu.be/OFxONG_aisc on troubleshooting your setup

[wanton wagon]

thanks

[brisk parcel]

@west hornet did someone say HEADPHONE TALK

Speaking of, Rudester I wanna know what you think of the 6XXs when you get them

[real galleon]

with the magni and modi stacks? hells yeah @brisk parcel

[brisk parcel]

yeah that's what I meant

[real galleon]

Yeee

Keychron K2 looking pretty sleek

[brisk parcel]

oooh it do be kinda lit tho

[real galleon]

It'll look better at night tbh

all I'm waiting for now are my headphones :3

[brisk parcel]

yesssss

sooo hype

when they coming in?

[real galleon]

no idea

Hopefully soon lmao

[brisk parcel]

hmmm you don't have a tracking # yet?

[real galleon]

uh

I should probably check that to be entirely honest with you lol

The headphones ship the 18

Oh lmao the dac comes in today

Kap

[burnt flint]

Anyone know of any good cherry mx blue keyboards for around 60/70?

[brisk parcel]

nice

and Kev i'm not sure

not very educated on KBs tbh

now if you're talking headsets

bruuuuuh

[calm cobalt]

I wish I could come up with an answer for that. But I don't think Cherry and that price range really coexist.

[brisk parcel]

eh you'd be surprised sometimes

[burnt flint]

What about any good clickly keyboards?

[calm cobalt]

Oh there's always surprises.

[daring zenith]

Reddragon k552 xD

[calm cobalt]

I just was looking for one for my mother recently and couldn't find one. From a company I trusted.

Or had heard of, ever. lol

[daring zenith]

eh I'm using it right now

clicky

works

can't complain for how cheap it is

@calm cobalt why exactly are you looking at blues?

[burnt flint]

And won’t break the bank thanks

[calm cobalt]

Cause that's what she wanted.

She's since decided to skip it anyways.

My days of taking chances are long gone. hehe

[tight pulsar]

mx blues aren’t super great for clickies imo

[calm cobalt]

I like mine quite a lot.

[wanton wagon]

Can a rift and quest play together?

[young crown]

some games, yes

[wanton wagon]

a majority of them or select

[young crown]

games like VRChat, Rec Room, Echo VR will work, with some limitations

its limited, for example not all games on Rec Room can be accessed by quest

[wanton wagon]

ah ok

so rift better choice if computer can support it?

[young crown]

100%

[wanton wagon]

ok

[young crown]

rift s

not rift

[wanton wagon]

yeah

[young crown]

alright good

[wanton wagon]

dont worry

[real galleon]

@brisk parcel The magni and schiit sound pretty fing good with my dt 990

[west hornet]

yeah schiit stack is really good

[brisk parcel]

tbh I should have something better than my cloud 2s

G6 I neant*

I'm kinda jelly ngl

but I think my sound card will at least do the trick

[real galleon]

they're aight

I'm excited for when the

Other headphones come in

@west hornet and @brisk parcel ne

Also the new keyboard

not bad

Its taking a little getting used to not going to lie but other than that

Pretty aight

[west hornet]

I'd like to try to make a custom keyboard one day

but $$$

[real galleon]

Yeah no lol

I actually like the default key caps the keyboard came with

Imma hold off on buying new ones for a bit lol

idk who it was

i think it was @amber oracle

But I'm listening with my schiit stack with mt dt 990's using the tidal hifi audio and its

nut

@brisk parcel I'm using my hd 558's rn and its

nut

bruh if these headphones sound this good

I can't wait for the sennhesiers

[brisk parcel]

BRUH

yes

YES

nut

you tryna lend your tidal subscription lmao, I really don't know if I wanna use spotify anymore

[real galleon]

kap

Use the student discount my dude

9.99

[west hornet]

ahh tidal i see

if you look in some places they have vouchers for new users to get 1 month free or 3 months for like $5 i think

I used a free trial of tidal hifi, i liked it a lot. some people disliked the interface but i thought it was fine, quality was great, song selection is good but not the best. But i don't have a lot of money so i download the flacs of songs i listen to

[real galleon]

is there not a lot of songs LOL?

[west hornet]

there are a lot. It might just be a me problem. Some of the songs i listen to aren't even on spotify and youtube

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[real galleon]

I feel like there's a decent amount

[west hornet]

yeah, i found a lot of popular songs and i have to say, the songs they recommend based on what you listen are fantastic

[real galleon]

Does anyone know a good amp/dac for just the phone

I’m thinking about carrying my hd6xx with me when Uni starts again

[brisk parcel]

actually @real galleon yeah I think there is

one sec

https://us.creative.com/p/sound-blaster/sound-blaster-e5

portable, can drive up to 600 ohms

das a lotta ohms

also I would get tidal but like I need the money to pay for it lmao

it's okay I'll probably just around the people I know, see if any of them would be willing

[amber oracle]

centrance does portable amps @real galleon

[brisk parcel]

I honestly don't know what I should go for

the 6XX or the 58X jubilee

like I know the 6XX is better

BUT

the 58X also isn't that much worse

ugh

screw it I'm getting the 6XX

[brisk parcel]

after that, I think I'll get a modi and magni like you did

can't now though, need more $ lmao

[real galleon]

Just be like me my dude

blow money like its nothing

only purchase things if you have enough money to buy two of them @brisk parcel

[brisk parcel]

why two of them?

[real galleon]

Because that means you have enough money 🙂

It's a general spending tip

[west hornet]

i bought my schiit stack a little after i got my headphones cuz money

[real galleon]

^^

I bought them all at once cause

I'm crazy

apparently according to you boys I've reached peaked audiophile

also @brisk parcel do you really run a 2080 super with a 6700K?

do you ever get bottle necked?

[brisk parcel]

I do, and honestly it

it's hard to tell*

only game that might give me issues is GTA

I built my PC 4 years ago, back when I was 14 lmao

the 2080 super is a recent upgrade

[real galleon]

yeah cause I think I have the same thign as you

my pc is around the same year

has a I7 6700k

and I've been thinking about upgrading the GPU

[brisk parcel]

mine is OCed to 4.5 and that's about all I changed

what GPU do you have now?

[real galleon]

heh

[brisk parcel]

and about bottlenecking, tbh I really don't notice it if it does

[real galleon]

980

[brisk parcel]

a 980 isn't bad

[real galleon]

yeah

but keep in mind

[brisk parcel]

I bought a 970 when I first got mine

[real galleon]

I run 3 1440 pmonitors

[brisk parcel]

then I upgraded to a 1060 to play VR, and yeah ok that's a different story lmao

[real galleon]

LOL

Also I can't overclock my monitors to 155hz cause 980 does not support free sync :c

[brisk parcel]

oooooof

[real galleon]

do you think I should wait to upgrade my gpu for when the black friday sale happens

I mean I plan on upgrading to a Ryzen 5 3600x, 2070 super

obviously i have to get a new motherboard and related items and a psu but

I already factored that in

overall my upgrade is going to cost me like 1k :c

[brisk parcel]

yeah you will, and yeah you should

new gpus are supposed to come out this year anyway

[real galleon]

oh yeah

maybe I'll just wait till those come out

after reviews tho

I have a good feeling nvidia is going to flop 🙂

[brisk parcel]

probably around august-september if corona doesn't delay

idk about that anymore lmao

have you seen the performance of the new A100?

it's 20x that of the V100, which was released 3 years ago

just got announce

announced*

[real galleon]

okay but like

let's be real

nvidia has been the king until recently

[brisk parcel]

so you can infer that we'll probably get at least a 50% boost to the comsumer cards

[real galleon]

the balance has been upset

[brisk parcel]

consumer*

and yeah ik, I thought the same thing

but like also

the petaflops are real

i'll DM you the video lmao

[real galleon]

I'll wait for reveals

reviews*

I'm always reluctant to buy things like that on release

[brisk parcel]

yeah I would do that anyway

but amd better have a big pull too

[real galleon]

They will

I'm willing to bet AMD will come close to NVIDIA this coming year in GPUs

if not

better

also

4k video

I love it

[burnt flint]

What do you guys think about the Logitech g512

[amber oracle]

@real galleon re: waiting on next series of gpus?: imo, yes.

timeframe for next series of gpus?: Q4 is my guess/estimate

[real galleon]

Yea thats wgat u thought too

@burnt flint decent

I don't like logitech's gaming keyboard that much

after spending a whole 2 years with the G910

[burnt flint]

@real galleon How comes?

[real galleon]

I just recently switched to the razer hunts man

I don't really like the romer g switches they use for gaming

@burnt flint

[burnt flint]

Ill have a look into the razer huntsman

[amber oracle]

the g512 does not use romer switches

[real galleon]

o

[burnt flint]

it does ^^

the one i posted does

[amber oracle]

it uses GX last i checked their page

[real galleon]

Yeah i just checked it too

Naed

I recently bought the 6xx and the schiit magni and modi stack

:)))

The schiit and modi sound amazing with my dt 770 pro

especially since I'm using tidal

[amber oracle]

@burnt flint just to make certain we are on the same page here:

[real galleon]

I'm using brown switches on my keychron 2 right now and they're pretty nice

I don't think I like the feel of the keycaps but I spent hella money this week so I'm gonna try to see if I can get used to the keycaps before I decide to switch LOL

[amber oracle]

also, keep in mind, i dont have anything against logitech boards from a functionality pov

i just think they are ugly as sin visually

[real galleon]

^

Well the G512 looks a lot better than the G910 LOL

[amber oracle]

and yes @real galleon i have been reading your back and forth here about the audio gear :)

[real galleon]

if I swear to recommend a gaming mechanical keyboard definitely something from razer and corsair

Logitech makes really great mice tho

:)))

me happy

I forgot how much I love open ear headphones

I'm runnign the schiit stack with ym HD558's right now

it's great

[amber oracle]

:)

you still need to give the 990's a spin at some point

[real galleon]

send them over bb

[amber oracle]

heck no :P

[real galleon]

loser

[amber oracle]

slacker

[real galleon]

Wat

lol

[amber oracle]

you can just swing by and you can borrow them for a couple of hours

[real galleon]

totally

I'm sure they sound amazing

but I'm still sticking to my DT770 Pro for my gaming 😛

[amber oracle]

aye aye :)

its the old topic all over again :)

personal preference etc

[real galleon]

you got any peripheral suggestions

Hehe

good times

that was like a week ago or so right

LOL

[amber oracle]

re: suggestions: hm, your bases are starting to be nicely covered now

what chair are you using @real galleon ?

[real galleon]

Uh

SX racer

S-Racer

[amber oracle]

gah!

[real galleon]

Not dx

[amber oracle]

but a "gaming" chair?

[real galleon]

If you suggest me a hermin miller imma be mad at you naed

yes

[amber oracle]

so Rudester my man, there is this brand of chair

you might have heard of it

Herman Miller is the name

runs

[real galleon]

Get out

Just

get out

[amber oracle]

:)

love you too

[real galleon]

i actually needed a good chair for my back cause I have back pains

and the chair does me a good justice 🙂

[amber oracle]

in all seriousness, start having a serious look at chairs

[real galleon]

Maybe

I'll consider it Naed LOL

[amber oracle]

not saying you have to go HM

not at all

there are plenty of other actually good brands too

[real galleon]

What are your suggestions

[amber oracle]

let me just look up what the name is

(not something i keep in my head, so rarely need to buy one)

[real galleon]

fair

[amber oracle]

Autonomous's ErgoChair 2

you try remembering a BS name like that @real galleon

[real galleon]

Actually

I've heard of that

[amber oracle]

https://www.autonomous.ai/office-chairs/ergonomic-chair

[real galleon]

Naed

this chair is 330 dollars

[amber oracle]

and?

[real galleon]

god damn it naed

when are you every going to suggest me something sub 100

[amber oracle]

when you ask for something that is actually good that can be had for less than 100

[real galleon]

aight

Sub 200

[amber oracle]

consider this

[real galleon]

Show me something that you would genuinely suggest sub 200

[amber oracle]

accessory wise?

[real galleon]

sure

[amber oracle]

https://www.amazon.com/beyerdynamic-Over-Ear-Studio-Headphones-construction/dp/B0011UB9CQ <- ? :D

sorry, could not resist

[real galleon]

get out

[amber oracle]

question: now that you have the audio stack that you do

do you regret using the money on it?

[real galleon]

to be entirely honest

No

LOL

[amber oracle]

its the same for the chair

[real galleon]

I can tell the difference a good amp and DAC can make

Pff I don't regret buying my chair at all

best 110 i've spent

[amber oracle]

i am fully aware that the parts i am suggesting are NOT cheap

but i also know they last for a very very long time

[real galleon]

yeah that's true

And I do buy to last

I'll probab;y be using my schiit stack until i died

also I'm glad they have a black variant

They look nice :)))

[amber oracle]

do you have a mat on your table(s) btw?

[real galleon]

Yes

[amber oracle]

aye, just had a search in the build-pics

[real galleon]

i don't think I've shown this set up yet

[amber oracle]

no, not that specific one

[real galleon]

yeah

[amber oracle]

but both the other ones have mats

[real galleon]

the matt is a new addition

Yeah :))

The gaming set up i think is complete

[amber oracle]

so, logically, you would have one on any new one

[real galleon]

I really don't think i can add anything else

other than upgrade the pc

[amber oracle]

you thought about light?

[real galleon]

but I'll be waiting to do that lol

yeah I don't think i need more lol

[amber oracle]

not in the RGB sense

[real galleon]

Oh?

[amber oracle]

just general "light"

[real galleon]

The light from my ceiling fan is pretty bright

it also changes color c:

[amber oracle]

this is also a personal preference thing ofc

but i dont like sitting in a dark room with my monitors on

[real galleon]

I've definitely thought about buying a better desk lamp for my other desk

Me either

[amber oracle]

unless i am watching a movie etc

[real galleon]

that's why I always have my ceiling light on

LOL

Oh yeah I agree

but if Im watching movies I watch it on my other desk

Cause

[wanton wagon]

I love sitting in the dark

[real galleon]

4k monitor 🙂

[wanton wagon]

But don't use light mode

[amber oracle]

if we take the last picture as the reference

you have a nice wall that could be used as a "canvas" for light

[real galleon]

Oh

actually I'm going to buy

let me find it

[amber oracle]

as in, light from behind the monitor aimed at the wall

but with a bunch of diffusion on it

[real galleon]

https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/skadis-pegboard-combination-white-s29217377/

I think I'm going to have this on the wall behind my desk

My productvitiy desk

🙂

my gaming desk I'm probably not going to touch

[amber oracle]

as in, to the side of where you are sitting?

[real galleon]

no

above the monitor

to the side i have my guitar and ukulele hanging ont he wall

[amber oracle]

imo, i think you are going to get annoyed as all heck about that quite quickly

[real galleon]

you think so?

[amber oracle]

a simple test for you

you got some post-it notes?

[real galleon]

Yes

[amber oracle]

place 10 of them on the wall

[real galleon]

That's a waste of post-its Naed ://////

[amber oracle]

then over the next hour, reach over and move 1 of them every X minutes

[real galleon]

I see what you mean

[amber oracle]

my guess is, it will take you about 4-5 notes, and then you want to find the flamethrower

[calm cobalt]

I am going to build a pc soon but i do not know what to get for it.

[real galleon]

dedicated wan

wam

I suggest you go to #building-and-recc-chat @calm cobalt

Okay Naed just ruin my plans

[amber oracle]

also, lets talk about "productivity"

[real galleon]

I like not many distractions when I work

[amber oracle]

if you are working at the machine, and you have that ikea playground of a random bits and bobs .... is that a "calm" thing to look up at?

[real galleon]

hmm

that is true

thanks for opening my eyes Naed

❤️

LOL

ruining my plans smh

[amber oracle]

you are very welcome :)

[real galleon]

I'm trying to free up some space under my desk

but I have my laptop there lol

annd printer

not going to lie under my desk

it's

abhorrent

[amber oracle]

:)

do you actually use your printer that much?

[real galleon]

well

not right now

for

obvious reasons:)

[amber oracle]

can you do a wide angle shot from further away?

so i can get an idea about the "space"

if you dont want to share it here, just send as a pm

[real galleon]

wym

I definitely gotta send it so I can flex onthe haters

the mic wire is something i'm using temporarily

[amber oracle]

this is your "work" place right?

[real galleon]

si

[amber oracle]

that carpet doesnt look at all soft

could you have something with wheels that would actually roll on it?

[real galleon]

my chair?

I hate carpet not going to lie LOL

[amber oracle]

hm

i was thinking along the lines of a low cabinet with wheels, that you could have some of all the .... items .... plus the printer on the top

[real galleon]

But then my laptop

[amber oracle]

something you can roll out of the way

[real galleon]

oh the

Thing

the gray cabinet i have has wheels

i have to find them tho

[amber oracle]

i am a big fan of having modular stuff AKA things on wheels

[real galleon]

modular stuff is fun

as for the cable management

yeah

uh

🙂

[amber oracle]

:)

[real galleon]

It's messy rn

[amber oracle]

i personally dont really think/care all that much about cable management

[real galleon]

but it has to be that way cause my laptop also acts as a tablet

so I need to be able to whip it out

[amber oracle]

aye aye

[real galleon]

hehe

i just need a place where I could put my laptop

[amber oracle]

a slim hanging tray?

[real galleon]

i dont have anywhere on the desk to put it

I thought about that

but my laptop

gets hot real quick

turns out

🙂

[amber oracle]

you know the type of holder you used to have for newspapers?

the V shaped ones?

[real galleon]

I don't have room on my desk for that

[amber oracle]

under

[real galleon]

I actually thought about those

I feel like it would look weird

[amber oracle]

at the edge between the legs

[real galleon]

i'm rearranging some stuff

[amber oracle]

https://hubsch-interior.com/wp-content/uploads/880419-5.jpg <- something like that

screwed to the underside of your desk

[real galleon]

oh ok

That's interesting

[amber oracle]

that would give you easy access to the laptop

and it would use a "space" that you are currently NOT using

[amber oracle]

aye, right hand side, between the legs

[real galleon]

I think for the time being this will work heh

[amber oracle]

oh yes

you asked for suggestions etc :)

[real galleon]

Thank you bb ❤️

[calm cobalt]

Maybe some one can help me: My Razer Basilisk V2 Mouse never works on startup, all of my other peripherals do. I updated my USB settings, I adjusted my BIOS on my mobo. I don't know what else to do ;_;

[young crown]

have you tried the mouse on another computer

[deep yew]

I bought a mobo without WiFi. Anyone have a good WiFi adapter suggestion?

Not sure if this belongs In peripherals but I am giving it a shot

[devout fiber]

@deep yew https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-USB-WiFi-Adapter-PC/dp/B07V4R3QHW/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=usb+wifi&qid=1589661054&sr=8-8

That's the one I use

Make sure you put it in a USB 3.0 or better port tho

[deep yew]

K thanks

[devout fiber]

np

[deep yew]

Works well for u?

[devout fiber]

Yep

Very speedy

I get like 15 ping in games

[west hornet]

If anyone knows a good surround receiver for $300-500 lemme know. I’m about to get a new one and just want an idea of what comes to others mind

For 5.1 surround btw

[real galleon]

I know the onboard one for the hyperx cloud's are pretrty good

But if you're talking fancy fancy then i don't know 🙂

[west hornet]

i was looking at maybe something like this https://www.bestbuy.com/site/denon-avr-7-2-ch-bluetooth-capable-with-heos-hdr-compatible-a-v-home-theater-receiver-black/6333571.p?skuId=6333571

[vague pebble]

I need help. I need a new headset, for light gaming and music. I am looking at the dt770 pro with mod mic or the Corsair virtuoso or the Logitech G pro x. What are your thoughts

[amber oracle]

there is only one of those 3 that is actually worth calling a headset

and that is the dt770

[burnt flint]

The Asus claymore any good

[vague pebble]

@amber oracle please elaborate

[amber oracle]

@vague pebble i am yet to try a "gaming" headset that actually sounds remotely decent

the 770's are studio headphones

they have a soundstage that actually behaves as it is supposed to

personally i am not a fan of closed headphones like the 770's, so i have the 990's myself

but i know that @real galleon has the 770's

[vague pebble]

What are they like for gaming, the 770s

[amber oracle]

and he will sing their praise for hours

imo, any good headphones can also be good for gaming

it is "just" sound

and i prefer having headphones that dont make me want a new set of ears when i listen to music :)

[brisk parcel]

sorry I had to abruptly leave the convo earlier lmao

I had outside work to do, plus I went to a bonfire

quarantine just ended for us yesterday, but we still gotta be socially distant

[wanton wagon]

@primal tusk can I get some help?

If your here

[wanton wagon]

Well if anyone can help actually

This popped up when trying to setup my router, anybody know what I can do to fix it?

Or does anybody know what I enter?

[young vine]

[wanton wagon]

🤦‍♂️ You think I never did that? In the setup guide for my exact one this is never talked about

[wanton wagon]

I see that ghost

[primal tusk]

@wanton wagon manual says that if your isp didnt provide you with the client string then leave it blank

Thats on page 61 and 62 of the manual

[west hornet]

heh

[young vine]

gotta read every word, every sentence.

[primal tusk]

@west hornet As for the receiver I'd look at the back panels and see that there is enough connections for your devices if you didn't mind a 2019 model you might like this https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/denavrs940ha/denon-avr-s940h-7.2-ch-x-90-watts-a/v-receiver-w/heos-new/1.html

[west hornet]

yeah just as long as the connections/features will be relevant in the coming years

ty

[primal tusk]

I've been debating on either getting a new receiver or just buying a A/V processor for my existing receiver

[west hornet]

yeah, for some reason my parents had 2 receivers and they are both old so my dad just said it to get a new one

[wanton wagon]

@primal tusk where would they have provided me with it? When I cliked next some error popped ip

Up*

And I remember seeing on some random forums that you need it fot my provider

And sorry for late reply, I may have fallen asleep on accident

[primal tusk]

@wanton wagon is your house line fiber optic or phone line? if its fiber optic you set it up following the manual for VDSL if its not Fiber then you have to set it up as PPPoA im reading in the sky forums on the option 61 thing

[wanton wagon]

Its a vdsl router so vdsl

Whats the fiber optic outlet look like

Sorry that was a silly reply

[primal tusk]

you have to know what your incoming line is that I couldnt tell you no fiber where I live

[wanton wagon]

I have multiple little outlets around my house that look like this

If that helps

Thats what plugs into the wall from the router

Im pretty sure its fibre

[primal tusk]

he is why i was asking from a post "if you have an ADSL connection you use PPOA not MER so you will need to query the Sky hub using wire shark to get the log in string. Sorry but this stuff is complex."

[wanton wagon]

The vdsl plug couldnt go directly into the wall

It needs an adapter

[primal tusk]

ic

[wanton wagon]

Ok yeah its fiber

[real galleon]

I was summoned

@amber oracle @vague pebble they're good headphones yeah, but it really depends on your taste. I use the 250 ohm variant cause I like expensive things kappa, but as for gaming, they're really decent cause of the close back system which creates a sound stage that's generally speaking easier to pick out things

also

if you were glasses whilst gaming

I don't recommend them

🙂

[wanton wagon]

Wear*

Sorry had to

[real galleon]

wear

damn dog

you didn't even give me a chance to correct myself

[wanton wagon]

Oops sorry

@primal tusk its fiber

[primal tusk]

@wanton wagon So this is for a TP Link but the basic setup should be the same for setting it via fiber https://kevq.uk/how-to-use-a-tp-link-router-with-sky-fibre-optic/

[wanton wagon]

I just dont know how to find the option 61 thing

Can I just ask them for it

Or no

[primal tusk]

the thread says to use wireshark to get the info

[wanton wagon]

Wait I mightve said normal sky not sky fibre

Is there a wireshark tutorial?

[primal tusk]

i have no clue i've never used it

[wanton wagon]

Ah ok

Ill look around

[primal tusk]

probably a you tube tutorial out there someplace

[wanton wagon]

Ive heard the name

Aight lemme try it again, gimme like 15 minutes

[primal tusk]

I'd go back and make sure your set up as the walk thru shows if so then look in the manual to page 58 and follow the manual mode for setting up cause the article mentions that the auto setup doesn always show the mers option

and here is the discussion I believe page 3 they talk about using Wireshark https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Can-I-connect-a-third-party-router-to-my-sky-router/td-p/3039238

[wanton wagon]

Alright, so I dont need the username/password because it uses option 61

I watched a video

They used to use PPPoE

But changed

I picked the auto setup

Well, more random searching to try and find it

[amber oracle]

@real galleon look into oakley frames for your glasses

[real galleon]

my glasses?

That's so random Naed

I like my raybans 😛 @amber oracle

Oh wait

[amber oracle]

look at the frames that oakley do

specifically the arms

[real galleon]

in terms for headphones lol

I only use my glasses for when i do my uni work

Otherwise I don't need them

I also don't want to look like i'm 50

🙂

[amber oracle]

https://www.sportrx.com/pub/media/catalog/product/cache/926507dc7f93631a094422215b778fe0/m/a/main_ox3227-0453_fuller_matte-midnight_028_122993_png_heroxl_2.jpg

that type of frame doesnt interfere to the same extent as the "traditional" style of frame does

[real galleon]

I see

Oh wait

I think it was just because I had my headphone band tighty

tight LOL

[amber oracle]

:P

[real galleon]

These are my exact glasses

[amber oracle]

if you stop holding your breath so much, all that hot air might fizz out

[real galleon]

Stfu Naed

[amber oracle]

:P

[real galleon]

I got an aesthetic going on I got match it

lol

Naed you got some music recs 🙂

[amber oracle]

Florence and the machine?

[real galleon]

hmm

[amber oracle]

@real galleon gotta give me a bit to go on here

[real galleon]

idk

surprise me

[amber oracle]

if you want to give the headphones a spin, Florence and the machine - Ceremonials (album) is a good start, you dont need the limited edition

Infected mushroom - Legend of the black shawarma is also in the same boat

[real galleon]

what a name

[amber oracle]

IM is very much music that LOVES good headphones

there are so many nuances in their tracks

Awolnation - Megalithic Symphony <- interesting album, the later mix tracks i could be without, but the rest if a nice compilation

[real galleon]

o

I haven't listened to them in a while

[amber oracle]

IF you like mashup tracks, Girl Talk - Feed the Animals <- is a FUN album

listened to who?

[real galleon]

awolnation

[amber oracle]

ah

if you already like them

then Blue Foundation is most likely right up your alley

[real galleon]

Definitely

Just finding all of my favourite songs from my spotify and listening to them on tidal rn

[amber oracle]

the "Life of a Ghost" album particularly

[brisk parcel]

@real galleon how you liking your modi and magni?

[real galleon]

beautiful

[brisk parcel]

what did you used to use before?

[real galleon]

nothing

🙂

[brisk parcel]

ahhhh okay

[real galleon]

well i used my scarlet

[brisk parcel]

what's the difference sound-wise?

[real galleon]

I feel like I just hear a lot mroe

and everything is clearer

I haven't listened to music on another device yet so I'll get back to you on that when I do

but generally speaking everything just sounds a light clearer, and fuller

[brisk parcel]

please do, I wanna know if I should get something better than using my G6

it can drive 600 ohms so I'll be fine there no prob, I just wanna know the difference

[real galleon]

Ah for sure

I'll let you know hehe

[amber oracle]

@real galleon Blues Saraceno - The Devil You Know

try and see if that is available

and dont blame me if you get hooked

[real galleon]

MMM

okie sir lol

[brisk parcel]

I need tidal back ughhh

once I went to it I can't go back

[brisk parcel]

even if my headset can't really show that level of audio clarity well, I still heard at least a little bit of a difference

[west hornet]

you can always get high quality downloads on songs. still won't have discover features or autoplay but it's something

[brisk parcel]

I thought downloading on Spotify still capped at 394kbps or whatever

Then again even playing songs side by side it was hard for me to tell the difference

[spark thistle]

What's a good headphone + mic combo that's below $200?
(Not a headset)

[west hornet]

ye it does, i mean download flac or wavs of the songs @brisk parcel

[brisk parcel]

Ahhh okay

Do you recommend I get them anywhere? I always had issues finding good places for them

[vague pebble]

@spark thistle I’m also in the same boat. I’m looking at the DT770 pros and a mod mic

[rapid elk]

[west hornet]

It’s nice

[real galleon]

I've heard mixed reviews about the small one

[rapid elk]

[real galleon]

i['ve heard nothing lol

[rapid elk]

does it compete well with the viper mini

[real galleon]

Whats your burdget for a mouse

[rapid elk]

[deep yew]

You can get the lightspeed for around the same cost

[hazy fiber]

Anyone got a recommendation for a nice gaming chair?

Preferably with a red asthetic, decent brand, and comfortable

[wraith roost]

@hazy fiber I just got 2 different model Respawn chairs. Ordered one from Newegg and one from Wayfair. Pretty happy with both of them. They were very affordable compared to others.

[real galleon]

mines some random s-racer that i bought for 110

It was aight

Assembly was simple

[wraith roost]

looking at the designs, it seemed like most the gaming chairs under $200 are probably made by the same place in China for multiple different brands.

[blazing rock]

Where can I find the best deals on a Corsair mechanical keyboard

K70 preferably

[brisk parcel]

@real galleon get your 6XXs yet?

I assume they should be in soon

it's been almost a week

[real galleon]

They're just about to ship 😦

[brisk parcel]

dang, so probably another few days, maybe thrusday-friday

thursday*

[real galleon]

I hope i get it soon

I spent 220 for myself not to use them lmao

[brisk parcel]

lmao

I think I'm ordering mine today

[real galleon]

smh

[brisk parcel]

not sure what my dad's doing lmao

[real galleon]

I ended up buying the headphones

Thats hilarious

[brisk parcel]

i know you did lmao

[brisk parcel]

I should not have done what i've just done

I plugged my 1mores into my scarlett

gave them some REAL power

umm

[real galleon]

oof

[brisk parcel]

the cloud 2s sound like trash

like at a certain point the clouds just are too much

with these

i can just KEEP cranking the volume

like

I'm making nutting noises to these IEMs atm

the little things that I didn't even hear on my phone with these

I can't

*** B R U H***

like I can't explain

it just gets louder, but it's not in your face

[real galleon]

LOL

[brisk parcel]

it's not washed out

it doesn't get hissy, it doesn't distort

and the bass

OH DEAR LORD

THE BASS

it's like a rumble

not a punch

just a low rumble

mmmmmmmm

all the little details

like a god damn lasagna

just pick it apart in layers

just

MMMMM

SO GOOD

if any mods see this, we need an audio channel

[real galleon]

its just going to be you nutting the entire time

[brisk parcel]

SHUT

I mean

just look at them

[real galleon]

scissors

[brisk parcel]

cable is kevlar bound chief

[real galleon]

im a big fan of wireless audio 🙂

[brisk parcel]

OOOH THE NOISES I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

and the aluminum sound chanber

chamber*

it just gives it the ROOM feeling

like that doesn't happen in frickin EARBUDS

ooh the PUNCH

the punch

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

NUUUUUT

i just

can't EXPLAIN

the difference when you give it VOLUME and CLARITY

@west hornet is this what it's supposed to feel like?

[deep yew]

@blazing rock https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07D5S54C5/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile

[west hornet]

sound stage, depth, clarity maybe?

lol

[brisk parcel]

yes

all of it

honestly I forgot how much I love the quad drivers

[astral hinge]

Thinking on spending a hundred dollars on a new keyboard and mouse, how are the Razer basilisk x and Razer cynosa?

[little crater]

im using the basilisk x hyperspeed

its dope

no input lag at all, feels the same as my previous razer mouse

its super smooth, hardly drags on a flat surface

[calm cobalt]

How does it look

[summer cedar]

Very nice but i would probably have the whole top row white but thats just me

[wraith roost]

I guess I just don’t get the different colored keys. I mean I usually don’t look down at my keyboard when I’m gaming. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[zealous torrent]

me neither but its nice to have a cool looking one regardless

[wraith roost]

I just want a keyboard that has reactive RGB lighting

[west hornet]

I know razer has a reactive mode, idk what other brands do

corsair might

[wraith roost]

I'm going to try and do that with my next build, get my RGBs all compatible and reactive.
