    Slow pc

    Watchdogs, Tomb Raider, Dayz, any game.

    Ok, I thought you were getting the "Watch Dogs experience", since it's horribly optimized. That 52C seems fine, so I guess it's not the GPU either.

    Advice on Custom PC Build

    The PSU seems fine to me, you can't exactly put another 780/880 in it though, if you want to upgrade. I would also choose the Kingston RAM, like dragoon20005, since it's better value, but the Corsair is a good choice too, if you want it to match your PSU and case.

    Anyway, it's good to see someone being reasonable about their selection of PSUs. Lots of people put a 1000W PSU in their build, just because they have a 780Ti.

    Can't Decide On One

    I thought that was just a Phantom series problem.

     

    Anyway now I'm just stuck between the H440 (white/black because it would look awesome with blue leds) and the Define R4 (same reasoning)

    Then you're better informed than I am. I have UV cold cathodes in my R4 and they definitely look awesome.

    I'd get the Define R4. Jayztwocents made a video recently, and the rubber grommets on his nzxt case were just falling off, because they were completely dry after one year or so. I don't know if this is a widespread problem, or if NZXT fixed this problem since then, but I wouldn't want that happening, especially after only one year. I've had my R4 for just about a year now, and I have no complaints, it's amazing.

    Opinions on this build?

    Did you mean to select the one stick RAM? I think you'd want this one:

    Otherwise, i think it looks cool.

    UV LEDs?

    in Cases and Mods

    Posted

    I've been wanting to add LEDs to my PC for a while, and since I have a white case, with white fans, I thought that UV would look great.

     

    However, I have my questions about UV:

     

    • Are they reliable? (will the light fade overtime?)
    • Are they damaging to computer components in anyway?
    • What are the disadvantages of UV LED lighting?

     

    As far as which one to get, I've been looking on getting the Phobya LED Strip.

     

    Thank you in advance.

     

    Like W-L said, LEDs are pretty directional, so if you just want UV lights, not LEDs specifically , then I would suggest buying cold cathodes. I've just bought the 30cm Revoltec UV twinset two weeks ago, and they are awesome!

    Good In-Ears With Solid Cable

    The plastic/rubber isolation came off of the wire near the right earpiece during normal use. Technically, it still worked, but I was uncomfortable wearing it after the wires were exposed.

     

    The RMA process was painless, but I still feel the cable should've been better for the price. I sold the replacement because I didn't want the same issue to happen again, and have been perfectly happy with sub-$100 IEMs since.

    Totally understandable. It's a shame though, i was thinking about buying an IE60 as a replacement.

    VSonic VSD3 and VSD3S have a removable cable, meaning you can replace it if it breaks.

     

     

    Sennheiser's cables suck. How long have you had the CX870?

    Two years. Before that I had an MX65VC, did not have a problem with that either. What really sucked though, was the MX75. The cables looked like a salad after a year, so I get where the whole 'Sennheiser cables suck' thing is coming from. They are a lot better today though.

    Nokia Lumia 1520 worth it?

    the 1030 will be called 1025.

     

    It will have 6inch display and I heard that it only will have better camera. 25 or 30 MP camera.

    What's the source? 25 or 30MP camera is unlikely, since both the 909 Pureview and the 1020 had a 41MP sensor. I'm not sure about the naming either.

    TRE.se is my "operator". 

     

    Btw. I was looking at Lumia 1520 because of the screen too. I want atleast 5 inch screen. I have Samsung galaxz S3. It is around 4.5 ich and it is too small for me:D And that 6inh screen is very attractive.

     

    So will there be any new phone by nokia you say?

     

    @Afterburner

    Yeah, I would say there is a 90% probability that the 1030 will come out this September. There is nothing official announced yet, but a lot of things point toward it happening. For example, the 1020 will reach it's end-of-life status this September, and McLaren, which is a codename for a new Lumia (presumably the 1030) will come out this September.

    I don't know about the screen it will have, but it's safe to say that it will have at least a 5 inch display.

     

    Also, I have a Lumia 820, and i've dropped it like 5 times now, once from about 2 meters (i was going up the stairs, it landed on carpet) and there is nothing wrong with it. There aren't even micro scratches on the screen, and it doesn't even have Gorilla Glass. So the build quality of Nokia phones is still awesome .

    If you don't mind the smaller (5") screen, than I think you should choose the Lumia 930 instead. The camera is basically the same, but the 930 records way better audio, if you want to make some videos now and then. The successor of the 1020 will presumably be coming out later this year though, so if you want the absolute best camera, you could wait for that.

    Do you all cook or eat out more?

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    Yeah, my main problem with cooking myself is that it's time consuming. Although a buddy of mine said, that he has one cooking day a week, which is usually sunday, and he packages his food in tupperware containers, so he just needs to microwave it throughout the week. He's following some mass building diet though, which consists of chicken, brown rice, veggies, and the occasional fruit, so it's not like he is going for diversity.
