    All the buttons can be reprogrammed to do anything. For FPS, I would look at a different mouse. The G502 is just too heavy for that

    InsanityWolf reacted to Froody129 in Razer's Deathadder Elite vs Logitech's G502 Proteus Spectrum   
    Both mouses have excellent sensors. The G502 is more macro focused and is heavier. Personally I like the heavier mouse but some people hate it. Alternatively the G Pro has the same amazing sensor but in a lighter body with fewer buttons, it's also a good bit cheaper. The G402 also has a very good sensor, and is cheaper, but the ergonomics are very much love/hate (I hate my G402 ergonomics...)

    InsanityWolf reacted to Garfieldyoulazycat in Razer's Deathadder Elite vs Logitech's G502 Proteus Spectrum   
    I have both mice and personally I prefer the death adder elite. It is a much lighter mouse and I personally feel the censor is slightly better. The death adder however is less comfortable overall with a steeper learning curve but it doesn't take that long to get used to. My hands are fairly big and both work well. I have had no issues with my DE but my g502 mouse wheel has died after very little use. I play fast paced FPS games and games where accurate clicks are required and I would take the death adder anyday.
     
    Forgot to add. Because of the heavy mouse wheel on the G502 it rattles around and makes a lot of noise while the deathadder is perfectly silent.

    InsanityWolf reacted to Technomancer__ in Recomendations for sub 100€ headsets   
    This was the best answer from @Tacanacy
    Hell yes, from personal experience Philips SHP9500, Superlux HD668B and HD681 EVO are much better. Audio-Technica ATH-AD700x is in a league of its own. For closed-back, AKG K52 is also better than the Cloud / Cloud II / CloudX.
     
    K52 has a big soundstage, good imaging, clarity, detail retrieval and tonality and decent separation. The bass can sound slightly distorted in explosions and other big and loud sounds. It has a flat/balanced sound signature. It's over-ear, very lightweight and has a durable build and replaceable earpads.
     
    AD700x has a very big soundstage, great imaging, separation, clarity and detail retrieval and good tonality. It has a bright sound signature and clean, recessed bass. It's over-ear, very lightweight and has a durable build and replaceable earpads.
     
    SHP9500 has a big soundstage, good imaging, separation and detail retrieval and very good clarity and tonality. It has a flat/balanced sound signature and clean bass. It's over-ear, lightweight and has a durable build and a detachable cable. The earpads are unfortunately not removable and are shallow, so you would have to rip them off and glue on new ones if you want to replace them. People have already modded them, so there are guides online. The clamping force is very loose, so it's not a recommended headphone for children or if you play VR and don't have a big head.
     
    HD668B has a very big soundstage, very good imaging, separation and detail retrieval, good clarity and decent tonality. It has a bright sound signature and clean bass. It's over-ear, very lightweight and has a sturdy build and a detachable cable. I recommend replacing the earpads with velour earpads from HiFiMAN or Cosmos.
     
    HD681 EVO has a very big soundstage, good detail retrieval, very good clarity and tonality, but has poor imaging and separation. It has a warm sound signature with a deep and clean bass. It's over-ear, lightweight and has a durable build and a detachable cable. I recommend taking out the loose felt inside the cups and replacing the earpads because they are very shallow and the driver sticks out quite a bit. Some good compatible earpads are the ones from HiFiMAN and Cosmos, but if you have big ears, then I recommend AKG K240/K270/K271 earpads and the round velour earpads from Brainwavz. The earpads can cost up to $25, but the sound quality is worth at least $100. Thomann.de sells the Superlux headphones cheaper than Amazon.
     
    Closed-back headphones have cups with solid shells that largely isolate sound from passing in and out.
     
    Open-back / semi-open-back headphones have cups with perforations/grills that allow outside sound to freely pass in and sound from the drivers to freely pass out. How loud you hear outside sound and how loud people around you hear the sound emanating from the headphones depend on your volume, of course. The benefit to open-back is generally a big soundstage. 

    Soundstage is perceived space and environment of sound. It determines whether the sound is perceived to be coming from inside your head or beyond the drivers and around you. It can be compared to virtual surround sound; both attempt to produce the same spacious, three-dimensional effect. VSS can sound more ambient and immersive, which will depend on the processor (CMSS-3D, Dolby, SBX, etc.), but it degrades the sound quality and diminishes detailing due to compression from digital processing. You might also experience less accurate imaging and separation with headphone have good imaging and separation properties. Note that a deep soundstage is equally important as a wide soundstage.

    Imaging determines how accurately sounds/objects are positioned across the soundstage. Imaging is inherent to the audio content, so if the game is recorded or mixed poorly, a headphone with good imaging won’t improve the positional audio.

    Separation is separating individual sounds from a range of sounds. Good separation properties make it easier to filter out or discern overlapping sounds from other sounds and track them.
     
    Sound signature is a frequency response / sound profile. For example, a V-shaped sound signature emphasizes the bass and treble while recessing the mid-range. A flat/balanced sound signature doesn't over- or under-emphasize these frequencies and attempts to reproduce the original recording accurately as possible. A bright headphone emphasizes the treble and can subdue the bass. A warm sound signature emphasizes the bass or subdues the treble.
     
    Alternative headphones under $200 (Amazon):
    AKG K612 Pro (open-back) AKG K550 (closed-back) Audio-Technica ATH-AD500x (open-back) Beyerdynamic DT990 (open-back) Beyerdynamic DT770 (closed-back) Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro Plus Samson SR850 (semi-open-back) Sennheiser HD598 (SE, SR) Sennheiser HD558 (open-back) Status Audio CB-1 (closed-back) Status Audio OB-1 (open-back) Superlux HD662 (B, F) (closed-back) Superlux HD662 EVO (closed-back) Superlux HD669 (closed-back) Superlux HD668B (semi-open-back) 2

    InsanityWolf reacted to xillius in Wait for RX Vega?   
    From what I have heard the packs includes the following:
     
    The Radeon Black Pack will give gamers a $200 break on a Samsung 34-inch, 1440p wide-aspect-ratio FreeSync monitor; $100 off of a Ryzen 7 CPU and motherboard combo; and two games AMD says are valued at $120(dependant on region). The Radeon Aqua Pack will come with the liquid-cooled Radeon RX Vega 64 for the price of $699, along with the two games, plus the discounted monitor, CPU and motherboard options. The Radeon Red Pack is similar to the Aqua Pack, but will cost $499 and comes with a Radeon RX Vega 56 instead. Like the other packs, it will come with two games, plus the discounted monitor, CPU and motherboard option.

    If there is a certain monitor that has exactly everything that you need but is 28in then I would go for that but preferably 30in or bigger.

    Above 100hz I can't say, I have used 144hz displays and they are really nice compared to the 60-73hz I'm used to but above 100hz overclocking won't make much of a noticeable difference I would think

    It's not "supported officially" it's just the few select kits the mobo maker decided to test with. Cheapest 3000MHz kit will do the job, whether it be 8GB or 16GB.

    Just about any DDR4 will work but to be sure about what will work, stick to ram that is listed on the motherboards Quality Vendors List (QVL).  Ram listed on the QVL has been tested with that board to ensure compatibility.

    Thanks for everyone's comment.I'm thinking about getting a cheaper case like the Fractal Design Focus G or the Aerocool Aero 800 and save some money which might get me a graphics card with 3 fans.I will use the system that I will be building for 4-5 years and then get a completely new one,so a case with many features isn't needed and heck,how much more cooling can 3 fans give you instead of 2.

    InsanityWolf reacted to Lurick in About a motherboard's fan headers and usb headers   
    For the fans you can alway get a fan hub like this:
    https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-System-Cables-Black-CPF04/dp/B00VNW556I
    All fans will be controlled via a single header on the board and spin at the same speed.
     
    For the USB, it looks like you'll be fine. The two 3.0 ports should go into a single cable/USB 3.0 header and then you've got two USB 2.0 headers which generally are grouped in twos as well for a total of 4 extra ports going to the chassis.
