    Hm... Off the top of my head (not a comprehensive list):
    Keysets from Originative: Originative comes to mind for GMK keysets (Cherry profile) with unique colorways, but their stock is extremely limited. Toxic Novelties Keycaps from Drop: Drop has a decent selection of unique keysets in different profiles (might need to log in or sign up to view their selection). The catch is, many of them are preorders or group buys with super long lead times. I'd suggest double-checking their Estimated Ship Date (at the bottom of the listing) to temper your expectations. Drop + Matt3o MT3 Susuwatari: Under "Extras". Drop + Matt3o /dev/tty MT3: Under "Lost + Found". Drop DSA Astrolokeys: Under "Nonstandard Icon Mods". Drop + RedSuns GMK Red Samurai: Novelties included with TKL, 65% Kit, 1800 Kit. Drop + MiTo GMK Serenity: Novelties w/o Text included with Compact Kit. Drop + Nephlock GMK Kaiju: Under "Warnings Kit". NPKC Sushi PBT Dye-Subbed: Novelties included. "Novelty" Search Results from KPrepublic: KPrepublic carries a bunch of standalone novelty keycaps. They also offer free worldwide shipping, but expect shipments to take 1-2 months to deliver. Keycap Sets from Kono Store: Kono Store is offers a decent selection of keysets, and I wanna say most of them come with novelties? Just double-check whether the keycap set is a group buy/preorder, or is readily in stock. SA Magica Novelties GMK Hinokoku Novelties GMK Yeeti Novelties KAT Cat's Eye Novelties If you're searching for modifier keycaps only, try using the search terms "Novelties," "Modifiers," or "Accents." I think "Novelties" tend to have those unique designs you might be looking for.

    Wow thank you so much on the info much appreciated. Do you know of any keycaps that have special designs on them? Not just a simple color change? Or just a pattern?

    Hey there.
    As Slottr mentioned above, any standard MX-stem keycap set should accomodate the GMMK White Ice.
    For the Compact, look for keycaps that fit 60% keyboards. Any search listings that mention "GK61" and "GH60" should work. For the TKL, look for keycap sets with 87 (or more) keys. For the Full Sized, look for keycap sets with all 104 (or more) keys. Specifically for accent keys (assuming ANSI layout):
    Esc Key: 1U. Tilde Key: 1U. | Backspace Key: 2U. Tab Key: 1.5U. | Backslash Key: 1.5U. Caps Lock Key: 1.75U. | Enter Key: 2.25U. Left Shift Key: 2.25U. | Right Shift: 2.75U. Ctrl, Alt, Windows, Fn Keys: 1.25 U. Note that certain keycap sets have different keycap heights for different rows. Examples include Cherry-profile and OEM-profile keycaps. For reference -- IIRC -- the White Ice's default keycaps are OEM-profile.
     
    If you need some inspiration:
     
    🤔
    If you'd like something that differs from the plastic sleeve/nylon-braided single cable norm, I'd suggest looking into cables with aviator connectors or double-sleeved cabling -- cables with an additional PET sleeving wrapped around its nylon cord and cable jacket. Example:
    Cables tend to just be for aesthetics, however. Uncertain how to grade a cable on a scale of "bad" to "good," it's not like performance suffers if a braided cable was picked over a plastic one*. 😅
     
    Asterisk:
    I am admittedly uncertain whether this minor caveat will apply to the GMMK White Ice.

    MiinD reacted to Statik in My First Tests on Ryzen 4000...   
    Hey guys, so I managed to find the only damn place in Canada that stocked Ryzen 4k laptops (Canada Computers), and I grabbed a new Asus ROG Zephyrus G15. Specs below
    https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?item_id=165756&cPath=710_1925_1920_1923
     
    I just got it today, and after running some tests, this is what I have found.
     
    Upon startup the temp fluctuates a fair bit and jumps around on startup into the 70s (which my 3800x does as well), but after a minute it settles down into the 48-57C range.
     
    Cinebench R20:
    Multicore score of 3614; max temp of 89C.
    Singlecore score of 459; max temp of 97C
     
    Timespy Extreme:
    GPU Score of 2269
    CPU Score of 3436
    Combined Score of 2390
    Max GPU Temp of 85C
    Max CPU Temp of 99C
     
    All testing was done with fans in the "Performance" mode, the other options are Turbo and Silent.
     
    So far all my temps are within the safe temps (105C CPU, 95C GPU). I think the scores seem quite nice on the CPU, but the Timespy scores seemed also disappointing. It fell under the "Gaming Laptop 2020" score of 2666. Does my score seem reasonable?
     
    I've only had this for a few hours and haven't had the chance to rip any games, or fiddle with it too much. The build quality feels nice and solid, it's very simple, thin, and stylish. I'll update it as I do more testing, and if anyone has any questions or anything, feel free to ask away. And what are your opinions on my scores?

    Amd has better price for performance and if u want to a budget build then you should go with AMD. But AMD right high end cpus are more aimed towards productivity like editing and rendering. But there mig rang are a better value than Intel mid end even some of there high end But just watch reveiws and benchmark of the cpus ur thinking of and see which on is better,.

    Yes, it's a good thing. At least if you compare within one series (e.g. a Windforce OC runs faster than a Windforce 'not OC', but if you compare an EVGA vs. Gigabyte OC card, there can still be differences).

    MiinD reacted to Perrin in Advice to get Valorant   
    Just thought I'd post this in case anyone wants to know how to get Valorant. First start by linking your Riot Games account to your Twitch account, this will enable you to be eligible to be put on the drop list. Now go and watch someone streaming Valorant and make sure it has the "Drops Enabled" tag. Now just wait, you have to watch for 2 hours to be put on the list and every subsequent hour gives you better chances to get a key. Drawing is taken randomly from a pool of everyone who wants a key. It had a stream on for about 7 hrs and got my key while I wasn't watching anything. This can happen, you can actually receive your key without watching a stream at the moment as long as you have watched 2 hours. Also don't mute the stream using the Twitch stream video thingy, rather mute the page by right clicking on the tab. Reply if you have any questions.

    You should just use a HDMI. But in the future get a moniter with a display part that way you'll get the best performance.

    But why don't you just return the board exactly? It has the same performance as $200 boards, unless you really need thunderbolt or built in 10 gigabit on some boards.
