    For the most part, Steve kinda points out something I've seen myself watching the videos and a disconnect between what's said and what's being done. They say they want more accuracy, but I've noticed inaccuracies and corrections in pretty much every video, sometimes it's pretty bad. It doesn't really matter when it happens on one of those lighthearted filler videos about watercooling a PC with a car or silly tech gadgets from Ali Express, but the actual reviews of legitimate products being done in Labs NEED to be combed over for inaccuracies and NEEDS to be retested when ones are found. Otherwise what's the point of building Labs in the first place? And the Billet Labs thing is just unacceptable across the board, I don't care where the money went, they quite possibly the company before it even had a chance. And that "I didn't want to spend $500 to get accurate data" response always sat wrong with me.

    I found some tapes to finally achieve the illusive audiophile endgame setup.

    Can you reuse them? No, the new system you're going to build will almost certainly be using DDR4. You should be okay enabling XMP your current build, however.

    I'm probably gonna keep using the slightly yellow-tinted glasses when on my computer. Placebo or not, I notice more eye fatigue without them. Especially in the office.

    He said "non-edible". Ass is most certainly edible.

    NZXT's adapters have that, as other's have pointed out. Also it seems very similar to the Hybrid options that AIBs offer on their cards

    The mechanical nerd in me kinda wants one just for that awesome front plate. That's a thing of machining beauty. However the overall package is kinda fugly, and I'm already close to finishing my G5 Pro-to-ATX casemod, which is better looking overall. I do like how easy it is to reach everything with this one, though, the G5 is kinda annoying with only having one side panel that opens.

    Only upgrade I'm gonna do is hopefully find the time to finish my G5 casemod.

    I've always been a proponent of skipping a generation. With how small the performance bumps are these days, that tactic is even more valid. Hell, skipping 2 gens is becoming a legitimate approach to things. Sit tight with the 1080, it'll be good for a while. Start the research up again when the next gen lands.

    Also expensive education makes profits right now, whereas affordable takes a few years. We have a very, very short term outlook in this country.

    Funny how this is suddenly important now that a certain party is being adversely affected. Back when it the only ones that would be impacted were the ISP's pocketbook, net neutrality was a Very Bad Thing that must not be allowed.

    Yep. All of my micro-USB devices have one, makes them less annoying to plug in. USB C can't become standard fast enough.

    Got some new bluetooth headphones for the office. After my previous two attempts (SteelSeries Arctis and AKG N700NC) both died in the right earcup after a few months, I decided to go a different route: bluetooth attachment for the famous ATH-M50X. This way if the bluetooth stuff dies, I still have a nice set of headphones instead of a paperweight.

    Technically I bought them a month ago, but they arrived today: Burson opamps for my Creative X7.

    I'm really getting frustrated with Bluetooth headphones. I've had two pairs die on me with the same symptoms both times: right earcup suddenly gets static and the cuts out completely. First was SteelSeries Arctis, second was AKG N700NC. Both after a few weeks of being used in the office. Literally all I do is take them off my head and put them back on. I'm at my wit's end here and I've wasted $300 total on this bs. I don't want earbuds because my ear canals get extremely itchy after wearing them for too long, and my wired headphones that I've had for years work fine. I don't have the slightest clue as to what is going wrong.

    I'm the non-spreader crew, I just put a blob in the middle and twist the block a little as I set it down, spreads just fine.

    Yeah, the PC physically had the Prism, but a 2600 will work without an issue even with a small OC on the stock Wraith Stealth that does come with it. And they stated at the start of the video that they weren't overclocking, so it's a pedantic issue at best.

    Do you have a dream?

    Blze001 replied to a topic in Off Topic

    I want to own a house with a nice garage and a project car or two. I don't even really care if they get completed, I just love the idea of spending an entire Saturday tinkering on a car and listening to music or the baseball game.

    I mean, it sounds to me like you've already made up your mind about the 9600k.

    Only use I can think of for a 5.25" bay in my case is a water reservoir.

    I ordered a 16GB flash drive off Amazon and they sent me a 32GB. Not the biggest win ever, but I was pleasantly surprised.

    *Sheepishly types his reply on his MX Brown board that he really likes* I don't notice the sandy feel, but I do know there's been some build variation in the past few years with Cherry. This keyboard is an old Ducky and my other MX Brown board is a Pok3r, so maybe I just lucked out with good switches? I have switched to Kailh Pro Purple on my gaming rig, though. Those switches are glorious.

    It's kind of odd being in a situation where my GPU is gonna stay on-par with the new versions for a good 3 generations or so. I remember when you practically had to upgrade every other gen.
  24. Blze001
    Hopefully they don't try to "fix" the problem, knowing the government the response would be targeting GPUs or ASICs so the currency can't be mined profitably or something like that.

    I have a Gateron Red keeb that I've used off and on for about a year and a half. Feels about the same as my friend's MX Red and I haven't noticed any degradation or durability issues yet.
