    Open box 7700k

    in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory

    Posted

    I wouldn't take the risk If I were you. Back in the day( when the first core 2 quads came out), lots of ppl were buying processors just to see how far they would overclock.

    The thing is,  they pushed the chip too far and damaged it, then asked for a refund.

    Most stores don't check if the item still works, they only care if there is no "visible damage" and put it back on the shelf as open box for 1/2  the price or whatever.

    If you want to take that risk then go ahead.

    Do USB wireless keyboards fail in transmission of key strokes?

    in Peripherals

    Yes, there is some delay, more than usb keyboards. You see, wireless technology is half duplex since the medium is shared. In other words, your wireless keyboard can send or receive data (keystrokes) but not both at the same time (this applies to any wireless technology, wifi, RF, bluetooth). Plus, most wireless keyboards dont come with anti ghosting or n-key rollover, so you might experience even more delays, or keys not registering.

    Try a wired keyboard, but if you must use wireless, get a better quality model. That k330 is really low end.

    Not the best quality photo but you get the idea.IMG_20170707_000021788.thumb.jpg.afb7c0074fdd8406cf4f027db47977e2.jpg

     

    Last time I used a mechanical keyboard was in the 90s I think?

    I got this k70 rapidfire about  two months ago and I'm loving it. Keys are a bit loud for my taste but It could be worse. Other than that I'm really happy with it

    UPS Problems

    in Power Supplies

    Posted

    try disconnecting stuff from the battery backup. Your psu might be getting overloaded and shutting down to protect itself.

    Also, if your pc is drawing too much power( above 700va), it will shut down the ups no matter what.

    Random coil whine fixed with new PSU?

    by testing the psu outside the case do you mean you hotwired itor tested it under load?

    since the problem got fixed, odds are the psu was the source of the coil whine

    hotwired only, fan spins, no vibration or anything out of the ordinary (I read that some coil whine is caused by bad wiring inside the psu, but that doesn't seem to be the case either)

    Thats how it works, combinations of PSUs and GPUs can cause GPU coil whine, sometimes one or both are at fault.

     

    If the PSU was the one with the coil whine then id put that shit in the bin.

     

    Also seasonic X-series are amazing units, that PSU should last you a good 10 years.

    damn I wanted to build a mini itx system with it...

    That can occur at times with different PSU or even different ones of the exact same model, as it can be a combination of that exact PSU and GPU that can cause coil whine to occur. It's why it's basically just up to luck most times if they cause coil whine or not. 

    any particular reason why it started happening after months of use?

    Random coil whine fixed with new PSU?

    in Power Supplies

    I built my pc about a year ago and never had a problem until three months ago.

    I started getting a random coil whine that would last anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute or two. At first, thought it was my gpu, but after some monitoring it didn't seem to be the cause. I was thinking that maybe my psu was doing that under load because it always happened while playing battlefield 1(but i couldn't replicate the issue, it was indeed totally random).

    I had a EVGA 500B before, which is plently for my current build. Still, I wanted a better power efficiency so I grabbed a Seasonic x650 about a week ago.

    Installed new psu, no coil whine. Even after long playing sessions. So I want to hear your theories about this.
    By the way,  I tested the EVGA PSU out of the case and it seems fine.

    New mouse but can't decide which

    I'd probably go with a palm grip but i'd need quite a large mouse, the m65 looks quite small?

    not really, I have "normal sized" hands for a 6' tall guy and it feels a bit large. 
    I have a fingertip grip so maybe that has something to do with it.
