Razer fined for their supposedly N95 Zephyr RGB Mask.
Orangeator replied to Mope El Two's topic in Tech News
Where are you seeing this? I only see N95 in the complaint and stipulated order. -
Investigating rad material, copper becomes brass ! :o
Orangeator replied to PDifolco's topic in Cooling
Last I checked I am not ingesting, frequently touching, nor drinking the liquid from my AIO. This is a non-issue to be honest. It's not a child's toy. -
WD Red Pro NAS 18TB Hard Drives $275/ea (2+ required)
Orangeator replied to Orangeator's topic in Hot Deals
I was not aware this was a thing. Good to know! -
Hi all, Found this sweet deal on WD Red Pro NAS 18TB HDDs for $275 each on WDs website. Minimum purchase of 2 for the discount to take effect however. I bought 2 of them myself. They regularly go on sale for about $350 for a frame of reference. Promo ends March 17th. Link to deal: https://www.westerndigital.com/products/internal-drives/wd-red-pro-sata-hdd?sku=WD181KFGX

I purchased one of these (the 240 in black) the second they launched on Amazon. Been running it the past couple of days and its incredible. Absolutely silent while in stock configuration and keeps my 7800X3d cool. Plus, happy to support a company like Arctic who actually give a shit about their customers and the quality of their products.

For $100, this card would be somewhat compelling for use in a small form factor PC (no external power required). At $180 I cannot imagine this card selling well (at least it shouldn't). I suppose I will wait for some idiot to buy one, wait for them to realize how under-powered it is, then buy it used for $100 and build myself a nice living room emulation machine.

Best gaming laptop around 1800 usd.
Orangeator replied to Vecna's topic in Laptops and Pre-Built Systems
I have an Asus Zephyrus M16, and I love it. However, it is large, and it is heavy. However, it is sleek looking and wouldn't look out of place in a lecture hall. If the cons are incompatible with your expectations for a laptop that you will be lugging around with you on campus, I would look into the Asus G14 series laptops. They strike a nice balance of size and performance. Note, there are new ones coming to market soon, with upgraded displays (might want to wait and look into those). -
What laptop should I get?
Orangeator replied to GrumpyNoodles's topic in Laptops and Pre-Built Systems
I am going to second this. And extra year of support for $200 is probably worth it with apple devices. Just to clarify, if your base model macbook pro means that it has 8GB of ram, I would probably get rid of it and spring for a 16GB model if you plan on keeping the device long term. -
Advice for first time AMD CPU buyer (AM5)
Orangeator replied to Astrophel's topic in New Builds and Planning
Are you planning on purchasing a high-end GPU in the future? If not, it might be worth saving some money on the processor. 7800X3d isn't necessary if you are running an RX 6600. -
The 2TB is $70... Great deals for sure. Would be great for an external NVME enclosure.

Shame on HP for the marketing on this keyboard. They should know better. It's tactics like this that makes me not purchase from HP.

256-bit bus with GDDR7 exceeding the bandwidth of an RX 7900 XTX, absolutely insanity. Looking forward to next-gen GPU's. Hopefully the price stays within reason.

Nvidia Kills Off GameStream Feature On Shield Devices
Orangeator replied to CyberneticTitan's topic in Tech News
This is some of the worst news I have heard in the tech space in a while. I can only hope they reverse this decision. -
This is a massive disappointment from Nvidia. They definitely could have put out a more competitive product lineup this generation... Instead, they opted for the most egregious launch I have seen. The performance of the 12gb card is inadequate considering the price jump, and the 16gb card is way overpriced considering its price/performance gap from the 4090. While the 4090 is a good deal relatively speaking - unless you are in the market for it, this generation is an absolute wash from Nvidia. Overall, a disappointing launch that I will personally be skipping.

Orangeator replied to Jet_ski's topic in Tech News
Holy shit, I wish every advertiser would do this! Facebook cannot ban all of em'! Lol.
