if you want a lagit way of doing it this will work corair to argb 3pin. but if you no a bit about soldering and electronics you can do it cheaper.

an I'm trying to figure out if all of these damn things are just using false advertising. 
I can't stand that. If you show an image that represents your product, it better be able to do that. 
And they are all showing like 15+ zones with their own colors. kinda messed up tbh

I'd like it to match my other leds. like my keyboard, ram, fans on my pc, my water cooling, etc  I don't want some flickering, uneven, or shitty faded rgb leds. 
I'm just trying to get my room all setup the way I want. 
 

Intel 8700K for the throughput capability!

OH yea, I forgot to add Skyrim! 
If you have not played it, you NEED to play it. Do not miss out on that game.
Especially now that they've released Skyrim Special Edition. 
They moved Skyrim over to the updated engine that Fallout 4 uses. They're also 
using high resolution textures, new lighting, depth of field, and a bunch of other visual improvements.
Basically it looks just as good if not better than a highly modded version of Skyrim. 
Oh and it comes with all of the DLC (both the Dragonborn and Dawnguard DLC are great)

Skyrim is the game that turned me onto RPG's. I literally spent over 2000 hours in it.
Not only is the main game great, but there are so many mods available for it. 
Want new spells? sure, new armor and weapons? no problem. Want a new questline?
New areas and islands to explore? new races?  Whatever you want to add or change,
I guarantee there's already a mod made for it.
 
Oh, and since you like FPS games like me, try using the bow and arrow for your main weapon,
it's so satisfying to get long range headshots! lol
(bow from a distance, 1 handed sword+spell for up close=so fun)
 
Have fun!

Sent you a request on Uplay

Yeah I have only one friend to give one to so I'll be happy to share one.

Gamessys has me taken care of, thanks to anyone else that was considering helping me out =)

lol, well I hadn't tried it yet. I just got access to the beta today. Hopefully it'll be as good as it looks. The combat is probably going to take some time to get used to. We'll see. 

You need to play Doom and Shadow Warrior 2. Those 2 are super fun run and gun shooters that I keep going back to even tho I've beaten them both.
Dishonored 2 (even better than the first)
Try the newest Deus Ex Mankind Divided. it's a big improvement on the past ones with more focus on combat. 
Far Cry Primal (was surprisingly fun)
Metal Gear Solid V - The Phantom Pain 
Overwatch
DragonAge Inquisition
Mass Effect 2 and 3 (you have to at least play 3, especially since Andromeda comes out soon)
Star Citizen (not complete yet but theres good pvp and vandul swarm + the mini persistant universe, + its a good time to get in while its cheap to get the whole package, single player Squadron 42 should be out by the year's end)
Inside (short but really good, same people who made Limbo)
 
Games Coming Soon:
Mass Effect Andromeda
For Honor
Nier Automata (it comes out at the end of February if you like fast action games with rpg aspects)

It's awesome to see a card for that cheap do so well. I really think AMD hit a home run here. Not to mention putting some serious pressure on nvidia. 
 
Can't wait to see how it stacks up against the GTX 1060

So, I was looking around 4k Uniengine Benckmarks and did this chart of the cards with the most bang for the buck.
The GTX 970 benchmarks hwere hard to find so I did it my self.
(Din't include 300 series GPU AMD due to no price drops yet, also really colse to Nvidia ones)
TITAN X IS SUCH A BAD VALUE

Reply if any suggestions

So I live near Winston Salem, NC. I pay for the highest internet speed they had available, which was 50/6. 
I come home today and download a game off steam to find it doing near 35MB/s. I'm like..uhhh wtf?
 
I check speedtest.net and..... 350 mbps!!!  geeze.
 
I knew they were upgrading the area, and was supposed to be upgraded to 100mbit/s, but 50 to 350 for free? 
Oh, and 20mbit uploads. HELL YEA!!
 
Sorry, lol, just had to share this with someone (its near 3am)
 
I'm guessing this is because of the buyout from Charter? Seems they're calling it "Spectrum" now.

Anyone else in the area find their internet upgraded?
 

If you are wanting new items, just go to PCpartpicker, choose your components and it'll show you a list of prices from different vendors. You can also list parts by price as well.

990 are open and 880 are semi open, I would get the 990 if that's your thing. 
I would have a look at Mad Lust's list: http://www.head-fi.org/t/534479/mad-lust-envys-headphone-gaming-guide-update-10-15-2014-beyerdynamic-t51i-added 
Definitely go with the 990's and I think you may need an amp to go along with it. You want a headphone that has a nice open sound-stage , I think logan explains it in his recent videos on gaming headsets. 
But here's what mad lust had to say about the 990: 

 

Heard of massdrop?
 
They have these at $239 
 
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/beyerdynamic-dt880-premium?mode=guest_open
 
Beyerdynamic DT880 Premium Headphones 

 
Then you can get a modmic later! 

I have the Sony XB400.
Doesn't have a mic.

Razer Electras have a mic on them (need a splitter or whatever it's called though to let the input go through the audio jack), and are very basssy. I looked at them when I wanted budget headphones. They seem comfortable and affordable for around 50 of your local currency.

I settled on the Hippo VB's. The reviews on them are really good. And yea, thanks for the reminder about the hammerhead's. If the Hippo's don't suit me, I'll give the hammer's a try.

Oh, and here's something copied from the FAQ:
 
What's the most important thing I can do to improve my audio experience?
 
Click for Answer
The order of operations that you should improve first to last is:
1. Improve your source - Get lossless music files in formats like FLAC, Monkey's Audio, and True Audio by re-ripping your CDs or buying them from sites like HDTracks.com or Bandcamp.com.
2. Get better headphones or speakers - Even sub $100 headphones can seriously improve audio quality, especially with designs that have open cups. Speakers don't need to run you dry, either. Need some suggestions? Just ask. We've got way too many speakers and headphones to not have listened to a set you might like.
3. Get a better AMP/DAC or Soundcard - Once you know that your headphones or speakers would really only get loud enough with special amplification or your onboard is just too noisy, then this step becomes worth your time and money. For more information on what kind fits what sort of headphones, keep reading. For speakers, it's a receiver to go with your bookshelf units if your speakers don't come in a set. Good speakers don't.
4. Cables - They don't matter unless they have bad connectors or they break inside. Digital matters even less as long as it's a properly built cable. See: http://www.theaudioc...Critic_26_r.pdf (page 5)
5. Power Conditioning - NO
6. Other things - Pebbles, wooden blocks, fancy power and USB cables, PCI bus conditioners, AND MORE! - NO
 
 
Yes, his Sony's may not be high impedance, but in my experience, even cheap $30 earbuds sound a TON better with a good DAC or soundcard. I'm using a fairly good motherboard (Asus P8Z77-V Pro) and that little FiiO Andes F07K made a HUGE difference on everything I use on them. And actually, I'm using some cheap IEM's that I paid $30 for right now because my cat got ahold of my Sennheisers, and they aren't high impedance at all. And using onboard and using a digital output to my FiiO Andes  is night and day. So don't go around telling people it doesn't help or it will make it worse because that's just not true. Even you know that, so I don't know why you are arguing.

lol and ouch, $210 would be too much. I guess the  prices over there are a bit different. Well, either way. I think you picked a good set for the range you're working in. You should be happy with the Trusts. And do look into a sound card when you can. It does make a huge difference. Especially if you're used to onboard audio.
 
Let us know how they sound =)
 
Happy Holidays!

I really hope you don't believe that. If you do, no offense, but you shouldn't be giving audio advice. He is using on board audio. Which in most cases isn't going to push speakers to even half their potential. A DAC like the FiiO Andes or an ASUS Xonar would greatly increase the audio fidelity and quality as well as amplify the sound. Most headphones and speakers benefit from an additional sound card (unless it's a USB headset and uses it's own internal sound card).
But since he's using an analogue 3.5mm jack, the only thing pushing his headphones atm is his onboard audio. And we all know onboard audio sux. (unless you have something like the ASUS Maximus V/VI Formula which has a very decent sound card on a separated PCB on the MB), adding a sound card or DAC will bring his Sony's to life. When I bought mine, headphones and IEM's I had just lieing around were brought back to life by it. I couldn't believe how much of a difference it made. So, I'm sorry I COMPLETELY disagree with what you said, as would any real audiophile.
