crowy got a reaction from Luscious in The keyboard that does EVERYTHING – Mountain Everest Max Showcase
I was thinking a Macro panel similar to the Logitech G15 (original not the downgraded refresh) or the Corsair K95 (original not the downgraded Platinum).
I currently daily drive a Logitech G15 (original) at work and a Corsair K95 (original) MX Brown at home. I would happily buy 2x Mountain Everest Max with the Macro Panel in MX Brown if the panel was available to replace both of them. The Logitech G15 has been trying to die for a while and the Corsair K95 doesn't have a screen on it like the Logitech does, and I'm guessing that the screen on the Mountain Everest Max will be able to be used in a similar fashion to the Logitech G15 could be.

I haven't been served a youtube ad in many years. Ad-blockers, modded APKs and more recently, Pi-Hole.

These days you don't need a large case. Just say what you are thinking of doing and people will tell you if you actually need a big case.

crowy got a reaction from zeusthemoose in Looking for New 18 Key Macro Keyboard?
Just a heads up for anyone looking at this thread later, the Steelseries APEX 350 appears to be discontinued too, as it wasn't listed on the main keyboards page on the Steelseries website, however a google search found a product page link https://steelseries.com/gaming-keyboards/apex-350 with a note on it "This product is no longer available."
So stock may be limited/running out if you were looking at this keyboard.
I'm personally not going to get one though, it looks interesting though, I might go down the route of getting a Cherry MX Brown(or equivalent switch) keyboard with a secondary macro board, as there doesn't appear to be any all in one items like the original Logitech G15 or original Corsair K95 anymore.

crowy reacted to BuckGup in How long will the i7 5820k last before it needs to be upgraded?
Until it is a bottleneck or doesn't suit your needs. It could be 15 years or 2 years.

crowy got a reaction from BenoitWW in cores vs gigahertz
Not forgetting the instances where you are not doing a single task and change the Affinity of the programs that are running so that they don't all try to use the same Core

crowy reacted to Energycore in Would this build be loud?
Your problem if you're cooling both CPU and GPU off a single 120mm or 140mm radiator would be temps through the roof, not noise.
Might be able to fix that if you undervolt the shit out of both CPU and GPU.

crowy got a reaction from kirashi in IE running in background of windows 10
Sounds like Virus/Malware, best do a full system scan

crowy got a reaction from SouthernPotato in Should I bother with a different CPU cooler
From a Thermal Standpoint it sounds like you don't need to upgrade, however from a Noise Standpoint you might want to, find a different cooler that has the same cooling rating with less noise.

crowy got a reaction from Akolyte in Running Cat6 through my house
Actually for wall sockets you will need a punch down tool, not a crimp.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punch_down_tool
The actual running of the cable is the harder part, be careful not to electrocute yourself, some Countries/States it's illegal to do data cabling without a licence.
The actual mounting of plates/punch down is the easier part.

crowy got a reaction from Coaxialgamer in What is better to spend? (Builds)
AUD Version
500$ - You basically have a glorified Word Processor
1000$ - gaming on a budget
1500$ - perf/$ sweet spot , the sane option
2000$ -sweetspot +
3000$- really getting into diminishing returns here , good for serious editing PC
4000$ -VERY serious editing PC , WAY too much on a PC solely for gaming
5000$ -Either you have demanding and specific computing needs , or you're compensating for something ...

crowy got a reaction from stconquest in Upgrading for VR Later this year/Early Next
I already have an Oculus Headset, its the additional processing power required for the additional 3 sensors (one with the touch controllers and 2 additional) that I've ordered that I'm a tad worried about performance on, hence the upgrade.
I did say typically not, so basically leaving the opportunity to overclock when closer to the end of the life when I'm beginning to notice the limitations of the system in a few years time.
1. You're probably right on that part.
2. It's not that much more expensive and I don't know where you live but in Brisbane it gets very hot in summer, and the HAFx Case with the Raditor in the top exhausting the heat straight out of the case improved the ambient temp in the case by about 15C in summer when I upgraded to it on my i7 920.
3. I typically choose the newer socket type for future upgrade availabilities (which I didn't use on the current rig but previous gaming rigs have gone through 2 or 3 chips).
4. I've found that the performance of a RAID 0 of 2 x SSHDs has been approx equal to any single SSD of same capacity and typically cheaper.
5. You're probably right on this part, I'll upgrade here with the money saved on the PSU
6. Have another look I had a "2x" at the beginning of the line, so 2 twin kits.
