Breaking my complete loyalty to Patagonia for clothing.

 

Deciding to try out Arc'Teryx for clothing. Nabbed an Atom LT in Timelapse, and a pair of Konseal FL 2 in Enigma/Flux. Super happy and impressed overall, especially considering the Atom LT is one of their cheaper thermal layers, coming in at roughly 300 dollars.

 

In person, the colour is a mix of blue and green. It looks amazing IMO. The hood also fits my Petzl Boreo helmet perfectly.

Let me put into perspective exactly what you play for what hardware:

Conventionally good is how a few people describe them, sound decent, good for wireless earbuds especially, they are most commonly playing relatively normal audio formats, nobody who owns airpods really knows what a flac or anything is, theyre playing MP3's or streaming audio:

A very conventional MP3, 320kbps, 44.1khz, nothing crazy. This is the peak of what for example, Spotify can manage.

Sounds ok.

 

Heres what im listening to:

 

decode that difference if you will

theres a reason why myself and many other people would want iems/earbuds or even headphones well past the 1000$ range, you wouldnt really know the difference until you heard it, and ive heard it, this isnt even the only pair of iems i own that are this expensive, ive got QDC dmagics which are another 1600$, and moondrop solis which are 1100$

 

 

first id like to note that apple is trash and would never buy their stuff either. But think about from a manufacturing perspective what those cost to make. Lots of that price tag is the fancy gold foil and hype behind the name. no thanks

I had new parts show up today (12900k, 32 GB DDR4 3600 CL16, MSI Z690 board, and brackets for my NH-D15.). Did stay DDR4. DDR5 just didn't make much sense yet, and availability sucks.

 

 

Which means I'll be swapping things around. My son will be getting my 9900k, and his 10400, will be going in the Truenas box, as it's the only other full ATX sized board / case we have here.

No pictures since things are wrapped up for Christmas, but this is what my daughter is getting under the tree.  She keep her (probably actually me) busy afterwards.  

 

Corsair K100 Keyboard
Corsair 5000X case
Asus VG27AQ x2
Corsair Vengeance 16GB 3200
GIGABYTE X570 AORUS ELITE WIFI 
GIGABYTE Gaming OC PRO GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
CORSAIR iCUE H150i RGB PRO XT, 360mm Radiator
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
SAMSUNG 870 QVO Series 2.5" 2TB SATA III
SAMSUNG 980 PRO M.2 2280 1TB PCI-Express Gen 4.0 
CORSAIR RMx White Series RM750x 80 PLUS Gold
Logitech MX Anywhere 3 mouse
Logitech Z533 speakers
Elgato Stream Deck (15 button)
HyperX Quadcast S microphone

Some of the parts are things she specifically wanted, others were due to availability.

Grabbed a JerryRigEverything Teardown skin for my phone from Dbrand. Looks awesome.

Not gonna post pictures since my cameras suck and a monitor is just a monitor in a photo, but just got an Asus VG289Q1A 28 inch 4k panel. Was quite worried about getting 4k since my gpu is only a 1660 Super, but given it has a FreeSync range down to 40 Hz I can actually run most of my PC games at 1440p without stutter or tearing and loving the colors on this monitor. My PS5 really looks nice on it too. Was worried about the monitor's upscaling sucking but everything I have tried on it just rendering at 1440p has looked as good as 1440p upscaled to 4k with NIS so probably won't even bother with using NIS nor FSR. Really shocked how good 1440p looks on this monitor, was expecting it to look horrible given 2160p isn't an integer scale of 1440p.

 

Not too bad for $320. Only complaint is the cycling between inputs is kind of annoying since I have to hit a button, then use that button as a joystick to navigate the OSD and select the input I want to use. Would have been nice to just have a button dedicated to cycling inputs. Otherwise though looks great after calibrating and feels like a nice upgrade from my Acer 24" 1080p TN panel.

 

Only a 60 Hz panel but few PS5 games I care about offer 120 fps modes and I definitely don't have the PC to be playing at 100+ fps (Xeon E3-1231v3 + GTX 1660 Super). FreeSync/GSync definitely feels like a gamechanger though, no need to be chasing 60 fps minimums with my game settings any more.

Yeah similar here, I had a heavy ass Acer LCD 1080p panel I had been using from about 2005 until it finally went out on me in 2014. Then bought an Acer LED 1080p panel that has been running great since. Made me refuse to buy a new monitor with anything less than a 3 year warranty. Hope this Asus one lasts as well as those Acer panels did.

Acer has been going downhill but there older stuff are good.

 

Asus has been a good monitor company from what I have heard.

I have been thinking about getting there lowest price pro art display

Yeet

time for another stupidly over the top socket 478 build, I’m gonna order a Corsair 280x in white, get a fairly plain cooler and slap a white fan on it, any gpu I can find with a white or silver pcb, maybe black like an xfx 7950GS, it’s gonna be dope 

Are you sure that the board is working and the caps are not leaking? Old soltek motherboards are infamous for leaking caps

Seller shows it running XP and a variety of tests, even if it needs new caps I can do that fine.

I’ve bought from the guy before, I trust they wouldn’t toss me anything borderline dead

Steam's Winter Sale is here and finally to get a game I really wanted for a long time. I have the Trainz 2006 Disc version (with 6 install discs) somewhere in my house but I don't know where it is, so I figured-Hey, it's time to upgrade!!! EDIT: The game really sucks...

 

Also, had to order a sensor swab cleaning kit.

My package from china arrived just before christmas! Really like them so far. They're not quite there with the Amiron Home headphones but that's expected for about half the price. Also works great with my UTWS3 bluetooth adapters, so i have the option to go wireless if i want to thanks to the detachable cable! They're certainly a great option for on-the-go audio. I have to admit sound isn't that superior to my previous Beyer Soul Byrd's. But the build quality is superb.

Bought myself a Logitech G703 for Christmas.

First wireless mouse. Let's see how long it takes before I get annoyed with needing to plug it in to recharge it. With the RGB disabled like a civilised person and the polling rate at 500Hz the Logitech GHub software is telling me I should get around 79 hours out of it so I should last at least that long.

I went with the 603, identical but without RGB and with AAs instead of built-in rechargeable... holds a month on a single rechargeable AA.

I do but powerplay costs moneyyyy. Plus I don't use a mouse pad. Direct on desk for me.

LTT x Logitech desk pad with powerplay collab when?

Knowing me that probably would have been a wiser choice. There was a reason why I went with the G703 instead but I bought it a month ago and now I can't remember why I picked it over the G603 Lighter maybe? idk
