Hey all, is there somewhere in this 337 pages a list of recommended, mid-tier, wireless, full fat "gaming" keyboards? Thanks!

You mean the guy who can't enunciate and I have to work REALLY hard to understand what he says? Yeah, I can't watch him. If he could E-NUN-CI-ATE I would sub and enjoy.

First one not in a pre-built? An RX 560.

I agree with read. The excuse of "no money" is stupid, because books are free to check out at the library. It sounds to me like you need to take up an exercise in self-discipline. There are many out there, look into it.

Do you hold your beverage in your right or left hand? (revised)

The whole socks with sandals thing makes me really question everything Linus has to say. I'm not sure we can trust him at all.

Can we replace Luke with Jibo, please? -
Mid/late 2000's Video Games - the golden era?
immortal-ben replied to DutchTexan's topic in General Discussion
I think the only game I played during any of that time, when I wasn't over in the middle east, was O.G. Guild Wars. I think there was some AION in there, but its hard to remember for sure. -
Why is water proofing so important?
immortal-ben replied to saladcrack's topic in Phones and Tablets
Being a military combat veteran, and now somewhat involved in manufacturing of items that can be made "military grade" or not, this person is quite correct. I even have a friend who works for DARPA (the Department of Defense R&D section) and true military grade is generally very expensive. Military DESIGN is truly awful, clunky, and far from user-friendly, and is different than military GRADE. I speak in regard to electronics mostly, but it applies to clothing too. -
Why is water proofing so important?
immortal-ben replied to saladcrack's topic in Phones and Tablets
Not everyone lives/works in an environment that is a climate controlled, indoor space. Personally, I am medically retired, but pretty much my entire working life was spent in inclement weather, extreme hot/cold, or places where it would be easy for your phone/tablet/laptop to be exposed to drops in snow/water, light rain, whatever. The water resistance may not be a selling point for you, but is is high on the list for those who work and or play in extreme environments. Heck, even the printer I carried at work in my truck was lightly rained on a few times. I dropped my flashlight in my driveway at the beginning of winter in 2014 without realizing it. I lost it in the snow. I plowed snow along that driveway all winter, not to mention pulling my truck with trailer and heavy equipment up and down that driveway all winter long. Spring thaw came and I found my flashlight. Clicked the tailcap switch and the thing turned on, good as new. Cosmetically it... had character, but I still use that flashlight to this day. -
Ryzen 5 1600 won't overclock???
immortal-ben replied to BlameItOnThe_'s topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Well this has officially gone beyond my ability to give anything helpful. Sorry man, but I wouldn't know what to do either in that situation. Give it some time and someone smarter than me will come along. -
Ryzen 5 1600 won't overclock???
immortal-ben replied to BlameItOnThe_'s topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
OK it seems to me that your BIOS changes are NOT surviving the reboot then. If they were, the software would report the changes. So you have changed things with XMP, but have you tried doing it manually (without XMP)? -
pc not booting to safe mode
immortal-ben replied to WhyAlwaysMe's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Oh sorry, I misread the beginning of your original post. -
My 5 1600 runs 3.9 at 1.38750, and your numbers are well within safe range.

Tried tapping the delete key as it boots to get into BIOS? Delete is the most common key, yours may be different... -
Ryzen 5 1600 won't overclock???
immortal-ben replied to BlameItOnThe_'s topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
OK then I am just completely missing what you are asking then. The values survive boot and report correctly in monitoring software but....? It doesn't seem to make a difference? Sorry, but I am lost as to what you are asking for, and it is probably my fault that I am missing something. -
2133 or 3000 for Ryzen?
immortal-ben replied to SolidRedIron's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I run 2133 with my 5 1600 and I really wish I could have afforded a faster set of RAM. I cant even get my memory to OC at all. Not one little bit. So get the faster set if you can afford it. -
Ryzen 5 1600 won't overclock???
immortal-ben replied to BlameItOnThe_'s topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Ok, just thought I would check. I have a different MOBO so different results. So if I am understanding this correctly, you are able to change the values in BIOS, but they do not survive reboot? -

Are you on the latest BIOS? -
Overclocking Range (Ryzen 5 1600)
immortal-ben replied to byalexandr's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
My 5 1600 is stable at 3.9MHz and 1.38750 volts. Can't get it stable over that. Board is Gigabyte X370 Gaming K7. Stock cooler and temps are just fine. -
I know this is an oold thread, but since I am new to this hobby, I was seeing what others did with theirs. I come from a military background and we put stickers on footlockers, so I plan to add mine to stickers from around the world.

Hey all. Been watching Linus for a few weeks now and since he and a few of his Tube friends have motivated me to build my first rig, I thought I would join the forum. To put things in perspective for you, I just turned 41 and have become disabled. I used to be the outdoors guy, mountain climbing (for my honeymoon even), mountain biking, hunting, backpacking, hiking, ranching and homesteading, and building and wheeling 4x4 trucks. I can no longer do any of those things, and it is unlikely I ever will again. Therefore, I need a new hobby to wile away my time sitting around. Looks like computers have become the new thing for me. My build will be slow, I think, due to medical and medicine reasons. I just can't do much at one time and I certainly can't do it quickly. I have three items left to get for my first unit. I need a GPU and two more exhaust fans. I do not plan to do any crazy over clocking so no AIO for now. If there is any interest from yall, I could update my build progress as it goes along. In my past truck/offroad forums, pics and updates were dang near mandatory, so I am used to that. Looking forward to learning from yall! Also, is there a section solely for discussion of the advertisers on LTT? Cause I checked out Ting and my bill would have been around $400usd! I'm not knocking them, I just had a case of some serious lols.
