    nicholasfd got a reaction from Mark Kaine in Corsair iCUE still junk?   
    I am looking into doing some major upgrades to my system this black firday, and was looking at mostly corsair products. I've used a couple keyboards and mice in the past and really, really liked them. What drove me away though was the iCUE software. Last I used of it, it had been majorly updated, and still sucked. Does anyone know if it has gotten ay better? because just about everything RGB and configurable will probably be Corsair. This will be a major let down if their software sucks.
     
    Thanks

    nicholasfd got a reaction from brwainer in Dell Force10 S60 with noctua fans?   
    I know everything is 12 volts. The fans typically run around 40% all the time, but since noctua fans will run quieter, i'm not worried if these have to run a little faster to keep up with the old ones. The HP fan that I hooked up spun, as if the polarity was right, but didn't register the RPM, so I'm not sure what was going on with that, maybe the rpm sensor is referenced to ground. I think I might buy one to start, then if I can't get it to work, then it's not that big of a deal, but if I can, then I'll try a couple more, then some more after that.

    I used an Antec Edge 550W for around 4-5 years, and it was flawless. If you will be looking for aftermarket cables, now or in the future, you might be out of luck with this power supply. I was told that antec uses a weird standard for connectors. Personally, I would go with something higher wattage if you can get a decent deal, simply because I'd rather "be looking at the watts then looking for them". I put a 1000W Corsair RM1000I, just simply because it was rated decently, and on a good sale. That powers a GTX 1070TI, Core i5 7600K, 2 mechanical hard drives, and 2 SSDs

    This is very unfortunate. He made his video, attacking linus personally, asking for Linus' response. Linus made his response, and carey thinks he's lying. I currently am watching his stream, and claims he is going to be taking linus to court. He is telling the mods to ban everyone who isnt on his side. Thankfully, I got my opinion in before he started. What a shame. I have been a supporter of his for a long time.

    But, it does make it easier for russia to take over... Now, they have no access, and on October 1st, russia will have more access than they did the day before. In that article, they say that it is possible for some of our websites to end up on the same floor as the moderation sites in china and russia, therefore blocking and restricting what we have and look at for websites

    nicholasfd got a reaction from vigorstick in Corsair K95 Impressions   
    I have the K95 RGB and I love it, the software is a bit buggy, and the keyboard lighting will freeze every once in a while. How I avoided this was, I set the polling rate to 2 instead of 1. If the lights do freeze though, what I do is set it to bios mode, which resets the lighting controller, than back to a polling rate of 2 and it works fine. Over all, I do love this keyboard (and mouse). Also, the LEDs are less prone to die because of the way they are mounted to the switch. They are mounted under the plastic switch to prevent static discharge to them, making them less likely to die. The G-keys seem to feel a bit different, They're on plastic, and just over all, they are different, they work, and if the CUI stops working, so do they. One more thing, when you lock or log off, the default profile is restored until unlocked or logged back on.If you force stop the utility engine, the lighting is also reverted until it is started back up.
