  1. I always had it in endurance mode, never performance. It's just gotten so bad I honestly don't know what to do, and I don't want to change mice because I love the shape.
  2. Battery life has taken a gander off the deep end. From 1+ month it's now down to a few days at most. The mouse has been out of warranty for ~4yrs now, and I've had it for ~5. I'm thinking maybe I can replace the batteries with a Qi charger (similar to Logitech's Logitech G PowerPlay, but done on the cheap with a custom PCB under a mousepad, or even the PCB working as the mousepad), but I've never seen anyone do something similar. Another option would be to drill a hole in the front of the mouse, and internally pass a couple of wires to the battery enclosure, and use a DC-to-DC converter to regulate the voltage down to 1.5V. Any suggestions? Has anyone done something similar? I really don't want to give up on the 602 just get because I love the shape, but also for financial reasons...
  3. Does your setup connect to the PC so the light changes color based on what's happening on the screen, or is simple RGB effects?
  4. I'm looking into adding some bias lighting to my 34" Xiaomi monitor. I don't really want to spend too much on lights (never was a fan of RGB, but I do spend many late hours studying). The most common options I've found are Hyperion.ng, Hyperion, and prismatik. Any personal experience with either of these, or any others to suggest? I have a pro micro laying around, and from what I've seen it's sufficient for Hyperion.ng.
  5. Do you mind if I message you privately?
  6. I have a friend with a 3D printer, so I could... But I'm also pretty lazy. I remember hearing of some fans- I believe from silverstone- that make vortexes and push the air more effectively through radiators. Are they any good?
  7. I was looking at the Be Quiet! Shadow Wings SW1. Same CFM, same static pressure, at lower RPMs. I understand you have personal experience from the Noctua fans, but do you think the Be Quiet ones would be a good second option?
  8. wow you went to town on those fans lmao. Would you recommend air-flow or static pressure oriented fans?
  9. Οn both the Xtreme III & IV under compatible models it says "R9 390(X)". Does that mean R9 390 and R9 390X?
  10. Have you tried any of these coolers or just referencing?
  11. I'm playing at 2560x1080p @ 60fps in all titles I have so far. Even if I don't gain performance, I'll gain silence correct?
  12. From what I've gathered from looking for a full-cover waterblock, sapphire made a custom PCB for this card, so it is quite difficult to find third party parts for the card. Could you recommend some aftermarket coolers and I'll look into them please?
  13. Purchasing the same model kind of defeats the purpose imo. I understand what you mean, but I was hoping for more performance at a quieter level.
  14. So I have This card, and the fans have been getting a bit loud. I changed thermal paste a couple years ago, so I have to change it again, but I've watched Linus' video, and I'm not planning on changing cards in the immediate future. I was considering originally just zip tying some Noctua fans or some Be Quiet! fans onto the card, and call it a day. But I was thinking maybe it would be possible to find aftermarket GPU fans to keep the stock aesthetics. So my questions are: Are GPU fan mounting holes standard? Are there good aftermarket fans available to swap out the current fans (I believe it has 3x 95mm) Is it worth it? Linus shows that it he got a better core speed at lower temps, but in this blog post, says he got a 5°C higher, but completely abolishing the sound levels. Has anyone done this mod? What's your experience?
  15. I'll send you a personal message. If you want to, we can also exchange some sort of social media or email address
