Did you happen to see my build list above?
The current lineup of dual towers, so the Peerless Assassin 120 (and its variants) and the Phantom Spirit 120 (and its variants) are all you'd need today.
I did not! I have now
thank you very much

Both are absurdly overpriced and companies surviving on name recognition alone. In this world, those that follow this stuff are well aware that Thermalright pretty much has the market beat on offering the same or better performance than those brands for less money. Sometimes considerably less.
I cannot think of a single reason why you'd spend $100+ on an air cooler anymore.
Let alone for a 7800x3D which can be adequately cooled by blowing on it with a straw.
Any particular thermalright cooler?

This should be good. Altough under budget it should be able to give ALOT of performance. The case if you want you can chage but i think this one is pretty cool while also having good airflow and much room.
And you can throw a few fans even though it comes with 3 pre installed onesI've heard the nh d15 is overpriced for its performance, how does it stack up against a be quiet dark rock 5 pro?
Thanks for sticking under budget
this looks great

Target resolution and Fps? or any other use like 3d modeling streaming etc? Also do you want aesthetics or have any specific case in mind?
I'd like to aim for 3440x1440, or just 1440p high refresh rate so idek what that is anymore, I'd say 100 fps most of the time, if possible more.
I do stream from time to time but assuming the cpu is good enough nowadays it's a non issue?
No aesthetic, I've done the rgb stuff to death, bonus points if the case doesn't have a glass panel.
Usb c on case would be cool.

Budget (including currency): 2500 gbp±10%
Country: England, UK
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: escape from tarkov, cyberpunk, final fantasy remakes, horizon forbidden west etc. Most other workloads I do are cpu bound
Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):
No peripherals needed, I have nice monitors etc already

I've gamed on kz zsn pro x and they're great, also half the price of the ones you're looking at.
I currently use a pair of katos by moondrop and they are phenomenal but are also around 200 usd.
I hear great things about the moondrop aria and at 80 dollars I think that may be a fair contender

Get the biggest newest soc one with pencil support that isnt used.
Thank you but that doesn't really help, I'm more asking for anecdotal stuff, like is the mini big enough for note taking or is it worth the slight performance hit to get a bigger screen.

To start, I've already decided on ipad, I don't particularly like the look of the android tablets and this will not replace a laptop.
My choices really boil down to a used ipad pro 11 inch (2nd gen), ipad air(4th gen) or a new ipad mini(6th gen). All within £50 of each other, not enough to sway me on price.
The uses? It will be used for facetiming, media consumption and note taking/annotating pdfs in a semi corporate environment(if that makes a difference)
Regardless of which pick I will get a matte screen protector with an apple pencil.
The size wouldn't be an issue as my desk(s) are large enough to not be a problem, as mentioned I would not be making use of any keyboard case, most likely just a folio esque case.
Anyone got any strong feelings about any of these? Good or bad

Market stats says otherwise.
Are you sure you're not (incorrectly) interpreting "this is what I have used" into "this is what everyone uses".
Anyway, I haven't used Junos but I can't imagine it is that much different from other vendors like Aruba or Cisco.
If you learn the theory behind how everything works then it shouldn't be too hard to do basic stuff regardless of vendor.

https://www.smartprofile.io/analytics-papers/cisco-hpe-market-leaders-network-equipment/
Well I guess my evidence was more anecdotal than anything but in most of large EU networks (GEANT, NORDUNET) use my mentioned configuration of juniper routers and cisco switches(although most are leaning towards opengear terminal servers due to the lower cost) but in the US for example in the r and e space they use mx204s to liase with eu r and e and then use predominantly cisco for their domain, so I guess the answer the OPs question would have come from where they are from

Bad advice, because that entirely depends on which vendor you end up working with.
Learning a bunch of Junos syntax will be completely and utterly useless if you end up working somewhere they don't use Juniper equipment.
OP, look into the CCNA routing and switching material. It's the entry level networking cert from Cisco and it goes over all the basics. You don't have to take the cert if you don't want to (can be expensive, and difficult) but any guide or video that is aimed at making people pass CCNA will give you a good understanding of basic networking.
Here is a reddit thread about studying for CCNA which ahs some good advice and resources:
From experience, juniper is much more widely used(ref EU backbone network ran by GEANT) with cisco almost exclusively used for terminal servers and switches
Perhaps better advice would be to get familiar with cisco and juniper syntax, or even better yet, look into hiring companies and see what they use

To start, I hate smokeping, I don't know why the desire for it exists when things like observium and even cacti can perform icmp pings in regular intervals for checking rtt....
But back to the question, I removed the entry from config and removed the rrd file but it still errors as there's a trace somewhere, any smokeping users understand this process?

The mic is good, I don't have extensive use of it as I have an independent mic but in the times I've used it my mates have said it's good. Definitely one of the best from a 'gaming headset'.
I really like them but I wouldn't pay £250 for them. I got mine for £195 & think that is a good price point.
280 atm on amazon! Looks like 200 ish from warehouse though, may just bite the bullet, the warehouse deal makes it only 50 more than the 7s so seems a no brainer

I went for the Arctis Pro Wireless'. Mostly for the removable battery, it's so convenient. Have a look on amazon warehouse, they make the price a little more manageable.
How is the mic? Thats the one thing pushing me away from the arctis 7, got the og void wireless and the mic arm is hanging off hah
-
Title is pretty much it, are the pros really worth the extra 120 ish?
Also I guess if anyone has any other recommendations for wireless gaming headsets, not the g935s, i can't stand the look of them, got a clean aesthetic going on rn and can't compromise on looks for the headset

@ImNotThere I think I'm going to end up getting a Blade. It just looks so much better, and I'm honestly fine sacrificing a little bit of specs. I know that Razer's quality control and customer service can be dicey, so I'm gonna get mine from Microsoft or Best Buy or Amazon or someplace where I can get a warranty on it. Anyway, thanks for helping me out!
No worries, I had the same decision to make as you a few months back, got the razer and haven't looked back, I got the 2019 model with a 2080, hmu if you want a hand tuning it for battery and temps (these are small issues out of the box, it runs quite hot and battery isn't great, just like every thin and light)

They have only been released for a few weeks, it makes sense that there isn't too much out there right no. At least not from anyone other than general gaming and tech channels that I wouldn't suggest listening to about audio gear. (I'm sorry Hardware Canucks, but you just aren't audio reviewers).
hah, this is why I said there isn't much online, fully ignoring the channels that just don't know what they are talking about, ty for the help though!

i'll assume you havent pulled the trigger yet:
I'll speak about each briefly:
the aero is the worst in terms of price for performance, has the weird webcam placement and a cramped kb thanks to the numpad inclusion, avoid imo
the gs66 is the best price for performance here, has normal webcam and the gamery look is very subdued.... apart from the font, that is hideous and ruins the overall aesthetic, also the plastic merger will mean it is less durable, so travelling you may need to be cautious, we dont know yet
the blade is probably looking like a goldilocks rn, not the best price performance but has a subdued non gamery font but it does have a light up logo, but it has such a nice trackpad, but it is usually plagued with QC issues, but the trackpad is so nice, but it uses a wack proprietary charger, but it has a rugged aluminium unibody....
my point is for every good point about the blade 15, there is at least 1 bad point, I personally have and love my blade 15 but the choice between the gs66 and the blade comes down to: want slightly more ram for the money but lower build and ugly font? go for the gs66, want to risk the QC? get the blade but if you get a good one, it will be a better ish experience than the gs66

Bose is still the gold standard for noise cancelling, but the sound quality isn't the best out there and some people experience a feeling of "pressure" with Bose headphones, like being underwater. The Sony headphones are great, noise cancellation nearly as good as the Bose headphones, great sound quality, excellent build quality. I've got no experience with the Razer Opus headphones, but seeing as Razer has been upping their game in recent years and the headphones are backed by THX (who despite having fallen from grace in recent years, still know what they're doing with audio) I can't imagine they're awful.
For what it's worth, my money would be going towards the Sony WH-1000XM3's, very solid all around, don't need to go used like the Bose, and proven unlike the Razer.
okay thankyou, I can't see much online at all about the razer opus, is this bc people didnt buy them or what hah?
-
I see a lot of buzz around the Sony WH-1000XM3's and the new ish hype around the razer opus, my price range could also accommodate a used pair of bose qc35(ii)

do you have a budget?
Not really, I'd say less than 200 gbp sounds reasonable, the lower the better

Title says it all, I am in need of a new gaming headset, my original corsair void wireless are giving up as of late after 4 years of constant use.
I'm now looking for a new one, I need it to have at least simulated 7.1 if not true, I need them to be wireless, it's just too much of a convenience that I am used to now.
I've been out of the news for a while, I'm not sure what's good anymore

Seems to be a problem many have reported actually, as an example https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/100-cpu-and-gpu-when-launched-on-extended-display/339792
You can do Windows + P and set the primary display to laptop only, launch Overwatch then swap back to extended mode.
okay, this has alleviated the problem but it is obviously still not ideal, do you know of any other solution

Sometimes people set the OW Launcher to dGPU but not the actual game itself, did you set the application at this location to your dGPU? "#:\Program Files (x86)\Overwatch\_retail_\Overwatch.exe"
yes, I found half of a fix, when the monitor is unplugged, setting the graphics settings in windows for overwatch (the game exe) to high and to use the dgpu will work find and overwatch uses the gpu, when the monitor is plugged in however, it goes back to using the igpu
Been out of the game for a while, need advise

Ooo, you're the only one to recommend blue over red, is there a compelling reason?
