#

i just recently spent a decent amount on a rmx psu, but im switching over to itx later this year

#

so much for getting a new psu lol

vernal plinth
#

Lol

#

Antec PSU for life!!

timber ridge
#

think im gonna go with a coolermaster psu

vernal plinth
#

Over 10 yrs old but i will be damned if it doesnt kick

#

Coolermaster is eeh

#

Kinda just a rebrand i think

timber ridge
#

yea, but i heard their sfx stuff is good

vernal plinth
#

Silverstone is known for SFX

#

I would go w them

timber ridge
#

depends on price

vernal plinth
#

True

timber ridge
#

i wanna get a 750w sfx psu without spending over 200

#

preferably in the 170 range max

vernal plinth
#

I think the Corsair sfx is under that

#

And has good reviews

timber ridge
#

yea, didnt really look into it bc i plan to upgrade when new ryzen drops

#

if i didnt have to change motherboard i would upgrade rn

vernal plinth
#

U mean the new intel?

timber ridge
#

either or

#

not picky with my brands

vernal plinth
#

I personally like intel more but my last 3 builds were amd

#

My personal is still xeon tho

timber ridge
#

only reason i tend to favor amd is bc they dont switch socket type every year or so

vernal plinth
#

That is true

#

I am stuck at 2011 with no real path

timber ridge
#

ive had every gen of ryzen except the one that just came out

vernal plinth
#

Wow

#

Rich

timber ridge
#

yea, i resold parts to friends in hs

vernal plinth
#

Oh k lol

timber ridge
#

so i made back the money

#

everytime i upgrade, they get an upgrade too lol

vernal plinth
#

I meet a lot of rich kid in this job

#

Frankly im only after price/pref

timber ridge
#

i had a 1600, 2600,2700x, then 3700x

#

got the 3700x for free tho so ggs

vernal plinth
#

I have been sticking to xeons

#

For personal

#

How free?

timber ridge
#

amazon shipping policies lol

#

it was "lost"

vernal plinth
#

Dannng

timber ridge
#

and i got a refund then it appeared

vernal plinth
#

That is rlly lucky

timber ridge
#

yup

#

i really forgot about intel, i might actually go intel instead

vernal plinth
#

Yeah

#

Still better pref in some titles

timber ridge
#

kf series is really nice

vernal plinth
#

I like just the k

#

The second gpu can come in handy

#

Mostly in editing

timber ridge
#

yea thats true

#

i use to edit, but not anymore

#

think i can settle with an i5 honestly, but not sure

vernal plinth
#

Why u need to upgrade anyway

timber ridge
#

i was planning on upgrading when next ryzen comes out bc of new motherboards

#

didnt wanna spend money on a motherboard that wont be supported by new cpus

#

so ig future proofing ?

vernal plinth
#

Hmm

#

I think intel still has a gen left on 1200

timber ridge
#

and im splurging a bit b4 i move out this fall i think

clear lichen
#

Is a 3080 even worth it when i could get a 3070? Should I just go for the 3060 even?

vernal plinth
#

Uuh

#

Depends

tight pulsar
#

so uh

timber ridge
#

depends on your resolution and how long you plan on keeping on the card

tight pulsar
timber ridge
#

what did you do lol

vernal plinth
#

What is that mousemat

tight pulsar
#

the nk x rfp one

timber ridge
#

theres similar stuff, forgot the brand name tho

clear lichen
vernal plinth
#

Hmm 3070 or 3080

#

I like the 3070 aorus personally

tight pulsar
#

before i got my desolder sucker i had to use solder wick and im not really good and i accidentally removed the metal circle thing on one of the pins of the + key and now accidentally removed the other and now it doesnt work unless i bridge it or something

#

Alrighty, so my pwnage mouse came in, time to give it the ol test run

#

I'm operating on a 2070S rn and it's working pretty well

#

#

vernal plinth
#

Thank

timber ridge
#

but its super hard to secure a card

clear lichen
#

yeah very

#

I can't even afford it right now but idec yet

timber ridge
#

ive been trying to secure a 3080 for so long

clear lichen
#

because I barely got this new card this christmas

timber ridge
#

since launch

#

i could of bought like 20 3070s by now

clear lichen
#

and I'm amazed that I can even play what I want to play

timber ridge
#

and still no 3080

vernal plinth
#

Looking to slap together a keyboard with c3 kiwi switches

#

How should i go abt doing this without killing the bank

timber ridge
#

do you know what form factor you want?

wanton burrow
#

damn $164 for the keyb, loobs, films, and modding kit, and switch tester

#

no extra keycaps yet lmao

timber ridge
#

films arent needed on every switch

wanton burrow
#

hmmm

#

ok ok

timber ridge
#

yea, some switches can use them while other really dont need them

wanton burrow
#

gat red?

vernal plinth
#

@timber ridge 75% or full

#

Rgb is nice but not a necessity

wanton burrow
#

65%

#

75% is tkl right?

vernal plinth
#

Uuuh

tight pulsar
#

80

wanton burrow
#

oh it's 80

#

ye

timber ridge
#

i think they can use it

#

and id80 and gmmk pro are really good value picks

vernal plinth
#

I am kinda a noob srry

timber ridge
#

both are 75% with aluminum cases

vernal plinth
#

Nice

#

What do i do to put the switches in?

timber ridge
#

theyre both hotswap kits, so you jus put switches in the sockets without soldering

vernal plinth
#

Nice

#

Jus curious any rgb kits?

wanton burrow
#

what keeb

timber ridge
#

gmmk pro has rgb im sure

vernal plinth
#

Budget wise

timber ridge
#

id80 has some rgb too im p sure

#

ik the id80 has an option for underglow

wanton burrow
#

i don't think most PBTs keycaps here wouldn't fit the keychron k6 smh

timber ridge
#

they should

#

65% is pretty common

#

a nice budget option would be hk caps

vernal plinth
#

Uuh @timber ridge can i dm u an aliexpress link to see if this will worl?

#

Censors dont like ali links

timber ridge
#

sure

wanton burrow
#

any budget 60% keeb case?

#

theres no gk61 on stock lol

#

no black gk64xs too lmao

vernal plinth
#

@tight pulsar

#

I heard you had kiwis

timber ridge
vernal plinth
#

Did u like them?

tight pulsar
#

they were decent but too tactile/heavy for me (had 68g slow springs in them lol)

vernal plinth
#

I am useing the corsair k55 membrane now

#

Those are freaking heavy membrane switches

#

I think i will like a heavier switch

timber ridge
#

i have t1s and initial impressions are good

#

dont ahve a board to put them in yet tho

tight pulsar
#

membranes are usually like 90g, the stock springs/60-65g with kiwis should be fine weight wise

wanton burrow
#

lmao no tealios v2 too smh

#

i fear other online shop's shipping fee

queen sigil
#

holypandas>tealios

timber ridge
#

surprised that youre worried about shipping fees when youre spending a premium on tealios

queen sigil
#

also holypandas generally have a nice clack

timber ridge
#

moyu blacks have a nice clack

wanton burrow
#

oooh

#

$9 for pack of 10

queen sigil
#

what

wanton burrow
#

holypandas

#

or is it the fake ones

queen sigil
#

what holy pandas

#

because drop doesnt sell 10 packs

wanton burrow
#

idk. white casing and deep yellow stem

queen sigil
#

and drop holy pandas are more expensive than that

#

deep yellow steam?

#

holy panda?

tacit wing
wanton burrow
#

oh it's glorious holy pandas

timber ridge
#

queen sigil
#

#

#

timber ridge
#

wanton burrow
#

wut

#

blame leyo

queen sigil
#

lmfaooooo

wanton burrow
#

hahahaha

queen sigil
#

wdym blame me

#

arent you literally planning on zealios

wanton burrow
#

i just looked through those glorious holy pandas

#

and calculated its price

queen sigil
#

bruh dont blame me for making you want expensive switches

wanton burrow
#

.78 per switch ig

#

no i just looked on it

queen sigil
#

zealios are literally like 1$ each

wanton burrow
#

not necessarily buy it lol

#

and i'm eyeing on tealios, not zealios

#

unless i mixed those two sry mb

queen sigil
#

and they are still both the same price

wanton burrow
queen sigil
#

and both id say arent worth it

#

reminds me of cholax

timber ridge
#

i think you can make the argument for zealios

#

but tealios

#

legit not worth

queen sigil
#

do a bit of research before you something

#

i mean cntrl

#

not cholax

wanton burrow
#

yea i'm still not buyin it yet

timber ridge
#

you mean droq ?

#

he literally has tealios

wanton burrow
#

just looking on it see if it's good

#

but there u go

queen sigil
#

droq is a child

#

no stoppin him

timber ridge
#

true

#

but i would not get tealios

#

there is soooo many good linears out there

wanton burrow
#

ok i see

timber ridge
#

queen sigil
#

for anyone like me who missed the bonus footage of the silly Gamers Nexus chair-athon, here is. It's a goofy time.

Any recommendations on wireless headphones that are excellent for music and calls, and won't break the bank?

sly warren
#

You put 2 words that don't work in the same sentence.

#

Wireless and Excellent don't work in the same sentence.

west hornet
#

wireless? excellent music and can call? the thx panda or sony xm4 if you want anc. but the moment you go wireless things get a whole lot more expensive

#

i think the panda has a mic anyway not sure haha

sly warren
#

If you want Music, just buy Koss UR40's

#

They are Wired, but they are fairly portable.

#

Or Porta Pros

#

Porta Pros are kinda the de-facto "I need something portable" headphone.

queen sigil
#

When someone comes and say "that wont break the bank"

bruh

just tell us ur budget

Hey guys - is the razor naga pro a good mouse?

sly warren
#

Use your hand size and grip type on RocketJumpNinja's website to find your ideal mouse.

small nimbus
#

especially for wow and it has giga charge and hotswappable side buttons

#

and giga ergo, has next gen ring finger rest lowkey op

clear quartz
#

See I like it because it has interchangeable parts

#

Seems like an overall good one for any genre

#

@small nimbus

small nimbus
#

its very nice for that, you can switch from fps to moba since fps is more comfortable w/ like 2 side buttons not 12

#

and the charge is nice, and wireless is super nice

Thoughts on the razer blackshark v2 headset?

timber ridge
#

not to sure, dont really recommend gaming headsets unless its a cloud 2/alpha s or pc37x/38x

#

standalone mic and headphones is way better option imo

sly warren
#

Blackshark V2 is trash.

#

If you want a good headset, get a pair of Koss UR40s, a Modmic or Samson Go mic, and a Meizu USB-C DAC

#

Best money I ever spent for a "headset"

clear quartz
#

Eh I’m a razor fanboy

#

What about a good steel series headset

timber ridge
#

pretty much all gamer headsets are trash except the ones i mentioned

#

and a few super expensive one from audiophile companies

queen sigil
#

razer is like the worst brand to fanboy

yep

they make some good stuff but other stuff is like

UR40s

timber ridge
#

ur40s are good

queen sigil

probs gonna get those or just porta pros

daring zenith
#

I'm thinking about getting ur40s

#

and a pretty small possibility I'll go for a meizu dac

timber ridge
#

not needed, but it will def help if you got crappy mb audio

daring zenith
#

dunno, it'd very nice to be able to use headfones with my pixel

#

because no audio jack

#

but I also already have a fulla 3

timber ridge

o true

#

yea, itll be p nice

daring zenith

it's just gonna be weird, spending almost the cost of another UR40 for a dac, when I already have a fulla 3

sly warren

Lol

Just buy the Meizu dongle

@sly warren pay me >:P

i have a fake headset

that have the same pad

and worse case scenario is you do a pad swap for $30>

Corsair HS60's pads look more comfortable than they actually are

sly warren

sly warren

And, there are no pad swaps for the UR40

also those dont really exist short of gaming keyboards

which are never a good value

basically every size of keyboard under tkl wont have dedicated media keys

but a keychron k2 is a pretty good 75% for the price

theres also the KC84 but i dont have any idea on it

kc84 might be yunzii's version

ep84 would be a safer choice imo

whats wrong with optical switches

Is that going to work for all switch types? Or just Gateron Opticals?

i am once again venturing to peripherals for a headphone question.
Looking at 2 headsets right now, not gonna use their mics.
Whats the difference between the Corsair HS60 and HS45?

#

also how do those compare in sound quality to the Skullcandy Hesh 2 headphones, I have some of those but never totally liked them. Got them for a really, really good price, so, thats why i have them

sly warren
#

All of those are objectively garbage.

#

Headsets are bad.

Oh, and if you need a USB-C to USB-A converter, buy one of the multi-packs you can find basically anywhere.

give me your budget

don't wanna spend over $50? okay I can do that

sly warren

UR40's are 31.41, Meizu Dongle is 22.99 USB-C to USB-A is around 8.99

queen sigil

And I'm saying that usually only gaming keyboards come with dedicated media keys

sly warren

GG

brisk parcel
#

the koss are a good option, monoprice retros are another good choice

devout fiber
#

also, would like to say, im using apple earbuds right now and i love how they sound, they just hurt my ears after a while, which is why im looking for actual headphones.
So, sound quality isnt really a big factor to me, lol.

sly warren
#

I've never heard anything about Monoprice Retros

sly warren
#

Those look like Samson SR850 clones

#

I'd avoid

brisk parcel
#

you'll enjoy almost any of these options then Yams lmao

#

just because they look like a clone doesn't mean they are a clone

sly warren
#

I'll bet they use the same driver and are made in the same factory.

brisk parcel
#

please don't just jump to conclusions

devout fiber
#

Those Koss ones look nice, how big are their drivers?

sly warren
#

I'd pick any of these Koss headphones.

UR40: Excellent Openback
Porta Pro: Excellent On-Ear (Just don't get the Wireless.)
KPH30i: different look, same excellent Porta Pro drivers.
KSC75: Great Clip-on option, same Porta Pro Drivers.

#

Driver size has nothing to do with audio quality FYI

#

All of the headphones I just listed are excellent cheap options that all use the same drivers.

devout fiber
#

well, yeah, but i want it to fit well

#

drivers are the things that go over your ears right?

sly warren
#

I daily drive UR40's for Gaming and Music listening and they are better than my ~80 dollar Sennheiser HD558's I bought off ebay, and my M50X's that cost me nothing.

No.

sorry, im headphone illiterate

@devout fiber would you be wiling to spend $60?

Too much treble for my taste

sly warren

Too much treble for anyone's taste.

cyan basalt

lol

The headset itself is super comfortable

#

Because of the wide pads

brisk parcel

maybe I just have a treble tolerance lmao I never had a problem with them

I sold mine though, I think one side was louder than the other, bought them used on eBay

I think I sold them for how much I bought them

devout fiber

I see that the UR40s have two wires coming out of them, are they different connections or...?

cyan basalt

I mean, they're great for people dipping their toes into the world of headphones

sly warren

They come into a standard 3.5mm jack

Just bad...

I have the OG m50's

Oh, jeez.

Never listened to the m50x

brisk parcel
#

the koss and the retros are both pretty good options

devout fiber
sly warren
#

If you are afraid the UR40's won't fit, you can get Porta Pros and some Yaxi Pads

#

The Porta Pros sit on your year

#

*ear

#

Yaxi Pads just make the Porta Pros a bit more comf.

devout fiber
#

think ill just get those then, are those little expensive wires a must-have?

cyan basalt
#

<$50 I'd definitely give the KSC75's a try

sly warren
#

The Dongle? Yes.

cyan basalt
#

Or the portapros

sly warren
#

You can get either the Apple USB-C to 3.5mm dongle, or the Meizu Dongle.

#

But both will massively improve audio quality beyond what your motherboard can do.

#

(Trust me, I just upgraded to a Meizu Dongle, it's a game changer.)

devout fiber
#

apple ones are only $9, looks good

sly warren
#

Yeah

#

I'd get it direct from Apple just to make sure you don't get gypped by Amazon and accidentially get a Lightning one.

brisk parcel
#

so you're gonna get porta pros with the yaxi pads?

devout fiber
#

UR40

brisk parcel
#

ok

sly warren
#

UR40's are a great option, I've been able to hear footsteps better in games and with better positional accuracy.

devout fiber
#

which, by the way, how big are the earcups on those?

sly warren
#

Siege is notorious for a "bad audio engine" but my UR40's are starting to make me realize "Gaming headsets have forked audio"

#

Uhh...

#

If you have normal sized ears they will fit.

if meizu is too expensive, apple is good starter

2-3-4 knuckle, etc

#

by that I mean how many fingers you can fit on the inside of the pad

sly warren
#

I can fit 4 knuckles in the pad.

#

My hands are 18.5cm x 9.5cm

#

The pads aren't deep by any means, but they are comfy for mid-length sessions.

#

I typically take them off every 2 to 3 hours.

#

well, like i said, i had those skullcandy ones and there was like, only 2 inches of room for my ears

Quake Champions of all games works flawlessly.
