    OMG, wow! That's absolutely perfect, thank you so much! I didn't realise how vibrant the JRE knife was, hot daym... Now I wanna buy them even more! Shame there is no more stock of the black shaft stubby ones... I only had £30 ($38) to cough up left after my $50 worth of gift cards and free shipping coupon (Massive thanks to the guy a LTT support for that one! Don't worry, I live in the UK, not Antarctica). Now there is no more black ones, I'm really disappointed. It's only been like, 2 weeks and you're already out of stock? The normal one lasted much longer IIRC. My idea was to have the normal screwdriver as my main one in my little toolkit I got from college and then the stubby hanging via the magnetic bit from a shelf or something, so it can be really grabbed, used and out back without having to open the toolkit. Haha Ah well... Easy come, easy go... Right?

    Hey guys... As a fellow Black/Orange with a black shaft screwdriver owner... I'm planning on buying a Stubby Black/Orange with Black shaft along with a Orange JerryRigEverything knife. My question for all of you (Which is more of a request) is, does anyone have the orange LTT store screwdriver (Doesn't matter if it is a stubby or normal, or black or silver shaft) and an Orange JRE knife, and are willing to share a photo of them together? I really want to know if the colours are similar, considering one is plastic and the other is made of metal. Thanks again guys! - PlymouthJoseph

    Think of it this way: Do you want a good camera? iPhone Do you enjoy using the Apple Eco system? iPhone Do you like Android? Razer Phone 120hz of pure bliss? Razer Phone It's as simply as, which do you value more? A phone with a fantastic camera, decent battery life and all the "Apple" benifits. -- OR -- The customisability of Android, great battery life and the silky smooth 120hz display. I would personally go with the Razer Phone, but that's only because I perfer Android over iPhone.

    Ah, I must of missed that. That battery though, that's a massive off-putting thing for me, simply because I plan on having my watch fully charged on Monday and have it not need to be charged until Friday night. - Which I believe the TicWatch Pro can offer. I will be looking up those reviews when I get home!

    I'm not gonna lie, that is a nice looking smartwatch. It does seam like it is missing some of the features I was after in a smartwatch though, such as the Always On Display and the ability to pay via Google Pay. Definitely going to look into this more though, thank you!
  6. PlymouthJoseph
    I've heard nothing but good things about the TicWatch Pro's battery life. With light/medium use, it should last a full 5 days before needing a recharge. Also, Fossil 5th gens... Do you have any specific models in mind? I'm kinda doing this while at work...
  7. PlymouthJoseph
    I personally don't have a clue how smartwatches with SIM cards work... I mean, I already pay money for my phone SIM, do I need to pay for another contract for my smartwatch? Because of that, smartwatches with SIM support are optional, but something I properly won't use. Here in the UK, I don't believe the TicWatch Pro even has 4G support. I mainly wanted something to keep an eye on my heart rate, come up with my notifications and have the ability to pay via Google Pay. I can't use Samsung watches because my bank is not supported through Samsung Pay unfortunately.

    It's a simple question, in need of a simple answer... Which is the best Smartwatch for Android? I have been looking for a while, and I'm settled on the TicWatch Pro because of the dual display, heart rate monitoring, fantastic battery like and Google Pay ability. Is there any other smartwatches with a similar feature set to the TicWatch Pro? I love the idea of the stacked displays so you can always have the time available without having to do the motion to get it to activate. Looking forward to the replies and suggestions.
  9. PlymouthJoseph
    Why not look at the TicWatch? They have lots of different versions to suit your taste. I'm planning on getting the TicWatch Pro for Christmas!

    For a long time, no. The G910 had a slight tactile feedback (I believe) and I loved every single keystroke with that keyboard. I might be wrong with that through.
  11. PlymouthJoseph
    I think I over anticipated how much I type. I'm mainly after a keyboard that will last me a fair few years without breaking, espically considering I am quite heavy on the shift and space bar. If I were to get a mechanical keyboard, it would definitely have to be a MX-Brown or a MX-Clear. (Tactile bump without the audible click) but I still really like the idea of the analog keys personally (Mainly for the customisability), but I don't know the lifespan on them when compared to other keyboards and it is that which is worrying me. I would also miss the tactile feedback, but I don't get that now with my current rubber dome keyboard so I won't be missing out too much.
  12. PlymouthJoseph
    Yeah, I know. One of the biggest things I will miss if I will choose to buy it... The tactile feel of a Cherry MX-Brown. I had a similar feel with the Romer-G switches, but they were mushy at the end like many other people say, and the MX-Browns are now, I believe. I am just looking for a keyboard with very strong build quality, will last me a few years and is awesome to use and has some unique functionality. Hence I was looking at the Wooting Two, which is said to have a 100m keystrokes before they fail. I don't know how accurate this is, simply because it IR laser can burn out or something.
  13. PlymouthJoseph
    For me personally, it's not for the competitive edge per say, but kinda for its uniqueness overall. I have never really had a mechanical keyboard because the only one I have used was the G910 which broke after 2 months and Logitech refused to replace it. I was also thinking about using it because I type quite heavy and I was hoping I could use it to train myself to type lighter. I was starting to do that with the Logitech, but never quite fully got into it and I had to revert to my spare keyboard with rubber dome keys.
  14. PlymouthJoseph
    I would watch that, but I'm currently at work and YouTube is blocked. Also, is the only difference between the Wooting One and the Wooting Two is the Two has the number pad? Please correct me if I am wrong.
  15. PlymouthJoseph
    Thank you SO MUCH for that!!! That is a massive help, only down side is that it does not include optical switches and analog switches which is found in the Wooting One & Two. It's the analog which is making me want to go for that keyboard, but if I were to go for a keyboard with Cherry MX-Brown/Blue (tactile feel, but without the audible click) I am stumped. I am thinking about the Cooler Master MK750 and Logitech G910 (I liked the Omron switches personally). But what other decent keyboards are there within the £100-150 range that are very nice, mechanical, full sized and are available in the UK. That is a massive list, but a lot doesn't really apply to me I'm simply trying to find which would be the best keyboard for what I am after, and asking if the Wooting Two is worth it or not. - Joe

    This is a new one for me... I've been using some Powerline adapters for a few months to extend the WiFi by using another WiFi router and having that plugged in via Powerline. I haven't had a single issue (Just wish it was a mesh network) Might be worth trying to dig a little deeper... Is the Powerline adapters also passthrough? If they are, is the router plugged into the powerline adapter? Is the router plugged into a extension lead? Could the router or power cable be faulty? How is the connection between the Powerline adapters? Could that be an issue? If you try going through simple things like that, just to try and ensure it is nothing outside the router which could be causing the issue. Once you have done a fair few troubleshooting steps and nothing seams to fix it, ring your ISP back and get them to send an engineer because the ISP router may be at fault.

    I would read this, but I'm doing this while I'm at work... We don't have access to reddit. Yet, we do have access to LTT and TomsHardware. don't suppose you could gimme a TL;DR? (Trying not to be a pain)

    Okay, I'm after a new keyboard... Currently using a Cyborg V7 as a temporary replacement from my Logitech G910 Orion Spark which died after 2 months when the left-shift key snapped. Logitech refused to replace it because they said it was malicious damage. I am willing to buy another keyboard again, I just hope it lasts longer. I only have 2 keyboards in mind at the moment, but willing to look at others. The keyboard I am thinking about are the Logitech G910 Orion Spectrum and the Wooting Two. I personally am in love with what the Wooting Two has to offer, but the lack of discrete buttons for media control is very slightly putting me off. I will primarily be using it for gaming, and sometimes typing for work and social media. Any suggestions would be taken into consideration. - Joe

    Nice! You will not be disappointed! Just make sure you use the PCIe to M.2 adapter else you'll be limiting yourself quite severely when buying the NVMe SSD. I also know the feeling of spending a lot of money for SSDs... My first SSD was the Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB. That cost me £102 and I bought that April 2015. Then April 2018, I bought my Samsung 960 Evo 256GB which cost me £125. The price for SSDs have dropped MASSIVLY when compared to a few years ago, just wish the prices would also affect RAM. Anyway, you enjoy your new SSD, you will not be disappointed. Just make sure you do a clean installation of Windows to ensure you don't get any unwanted bloat with the old OS installation. Also, using ninite.com will be a massive help.

    Only thing with this, if he were to install it on the M.2 board located on his motherboard, he would be severely limiting his performance. On-board is PCIe 2.0x2 and will get a maximum reed speed of 800MB/s, using the adapter will allow the SSD to get the full PCIe 3.0x4 and reach is maximum read speed of 3500MB/s. While it is backwards compatible, he should definitely not use it and instead get the adapter the mentioned in the OP. As long as he plugs that adapter into the 2nd red PCIe slot, it will run at it's full speed. Only down side is that it will limit the GPU to 8x speeds, but I am running a GTX 1080 and I haven't gotten and less performance when comparing to when I was running it on 16x with my Kingston SATA SSD.

    I plan in sorting the GPU sag soon, just trying to find something of the right length. Plan on getting hold of some Lego blocks and using them temporarily. Also, in regards to GPU temps... Since installing my AIO, the temps actually went down by about 5°c. Originally I had a 212Evo installed for the CPU, but since swapping it, the temps are definitely better. And since I'm using a Xeon E3-1231-V3, it's not a overly powerful CPU and doesn't produce much heat. I've also looked at other forum posts where people have tried installing an AIO at the top and simply won't fit due to the motherboard VRMs. I really hope I won't have to turn the EVGA AIO, because that would bug the $H!T out of me.
  22. PlymouthJoseph
    I think I will be the best person to help you with this, because I am actually using a Z97 based system with a NVMe M.2 SSD at full speed! With what you're going to get, there shouldn't be an issue in the slightest! I mean, I am using a Samsung 960 Evo 256GB with a Silverstone adapter and it works absolutely flawlessly. Just one piece of advice... Make sure you install it into the PCIe 3.0 x8 slot on your motherboard. This will reduce the 16x slot for the GPU to x8 but I'm currently using a EVGA GTX 1080 Classified and I haven't had a single issue with performance. TL;DR: Yes, it will work without a single issue! Just make sure you do a fresh install of Windows to ensure you don't carry any bloat over from the current Windows install. To make your life easier installing programs, use ninite.com too. That's a massive help!

    I've just realised I have a picture of my system on my phone. Ain't anything overly fancy, and half of it is used... But it is mine and I couldn't be happier. I do have another 2.5" HDD to put on top of the PSU should. Just gotta get the time to install it.
  24. PlymouthJoseph
    Thank you so much for all your help!! When I get home, I will upload a few pictures of my current system without the G12 installed as I currently low on funds simply because I've got many bills decided to come out at the same time. Currently trying to save enough to get the G12, H80i V2, Noctua 92mm fan, GPU to CPU fan adapter, fan Y-Splitter (So I can connect the VRM fan to the radiator fan) and a internal USB splitter or hub because I'm out of internal USB headers. That's going to come up around the £150+ mark. I've got a load of different screws in my tool kit, I'll take a picture of that when I get home too. See if there is any there you would recommend I try when I do eventually purchase the parts. I just gotta hope that now I can fit it all into my system. Lol
  25. PlymouthJoseph
    Thank you so much!!! Just to make sure I am seeing things correct, you're not using the screws that come with the H80i, right? You found them and used them, and that's because the factory ones were to long? Also, you're using the Asetek bracket on the pump, and attaching that to the G12, right? No issues there, such as having to use a copper shim or anything along those lines. Did your GPU come with a backplate? If so, did you find anyway of possibly mounting that other than having it just sitting there? I personally don't want to loose my backplate because it looks awesome. 1 more thing, did you use any heatsinks at all? I know I am diffidently going to use some for the VRAM chips, but possibly the VRMs. But as you said, your VRMs seam to be fine without them, so I might go without it. Would it also be possible to explain and show how you've got everything connected to the G12? By this, I mean the 2 fans, radiator, USB and stuff like that. I can't really find that in the pictures. Once again, thank you so much! I will hopefully be buying them later this month.
