I think fast RAM actually does make a difference at high frame rates.

That's not an opinion though, that's a fact.

MSI is a disgusting brand IMO

 

Can't stand that big dragon all over stuff.  I was just in an argument with my friend who has the MSI Sea Hawk EK version.  That dragon makes the block look like a toy or something.

I like OSX features more than Windows. I like their movie editing software and other built in apps more. I prefer Finder to the annoying Windows file system. Idk, something about OSX's simple, quick and imo more organized layout is just so much nicer to me. OSX automatically unzips any file for you. Not sure why Windows makes that a process that requires 3rd part programs.

• Norton Security is an excellent AV.

I literally cringed due to my horrible, and I mean horrible experience with it. 

 

I think RGB is the most overrated thing out there, by far.

I think Win 8.1 is better than 10.

I don't think gaming on laptops is bad at all and is highly convenient. 

I think tablets are overrated as well. 

I think there should be a world day every week when people would be forbidden from using the internet, and possibly tech as well. We are too addicted to tech. 

I think piracy has a purpose, sort of.

I think some Apple stuff is actually worth the money.

Don't let Linus hear you!  

 

My other unpopular opinion:  Linus' video on whether RAM speed matters is junk.

Probably something along the lines of 'Because we're Noctua, we're special and deserve to be different'

I always assumed the plastic parts were already that color and painting them would effect the sound or performance somehow.  Otherwise I don't see how they could make a business decision as bad as not offering their product in desirable colors.

I really liked windows 8, I even made a skin and tweaked Windows metro to use it as my background.

Very highly rated AV, very light on resources too. What issues did you have?

The colors are mainly tradition at this point, paying homage to some good performing fans they designed a long time ago. I kinda get that, and I know having several sku's and altering the manufacturing process to allow several colors slightly complicates things, but it's sad that there isn't an option that costs just a few cents to a dollar or two more for a good performing product and being stuck with shoving barf into a case because of that tradition

Mind you I used it long time ago, in the time of single core processors. It was literally hogging resources back in the day, and most notably, and most interesting, it said my CD had a virus, a brand new and empty CD, I had opened half a minute before putting it in my CD-ROM. I'll never forget that, I still laugh at that. That are only few examples of what it had done and I can't even remember all of them so much later. The only worse thing then was Bitdefender in my experience.

Oh wow, yeah that was a long time ago. Don't worry, it's changed a lot since then  Right now it's using 16MB of my 16GB of RAM and less than 0.1% of CPU time.

I tried to switch to Bitdefender Total Security about a year ago, big mistake. That thing was sucking up 400MB of RAM

I think I'll live with 50-ish MB of usage from Nod32.

It's overpriced and very obviously designed for the "gamer" target audience

[kaiju_wars]

I prefer iOS to Android.

I prefer MacOS to Windows.

Windows 8.1 is my favorite version of Windows.

(It's at least popular with my friends) I find teamspeak useless, we are already on Skype or the phone, let's just use that.

I think 8GB of RAM is just fine for modern day use if all you are doing is web browsing in Chrome and gaming.

I've always wondered about that, there has to be a reason why they don't offer a color selection.

Maybe because you Watercool pc you want to brag with?

Yes, the reason Noctua doesn't offer a color selection is because I Watercool pc I want to brag with.

I think Noctua fans look decent.

 

To be fair the color scheme grew on me.

I honestly agree only ever got two of their fans for a friends build he considered them ugly but said whatever works is fine so they kind grew on him and still after nearly 7 years thye work in his new rig 

One more thing Norton was a great AV while i was using it

As for my own opinion it would be Asus is a terrible mobo makar 

[Murasaki]

WHY IS EVERY SINGLE MECH KB ON THIS PLANET UGLY AF.

Seriously.

[Thaldor]

I like Noctuas color scheme, it's recognizable and it has some nostalgic taste in it. I acctually wish Noctua would make a case with their color scheme just to piss off every single reviewer who don't like the old yellowish plastic color.

 

Also I think people who think the mechanical keyboards are the pinnacle of technology, are just like Apple-fans. The time when you acctually needed to press more keys than 10 is far over (no more split screen multiplayer with only keyboard) and that parts of milliseconds latency difference sounds just as stupid as some audiophiles fighting over 1000$ HDMI-cables over 10$ ones for better "image quality".

 

I prefer AMD CPUs over Intels because AMD has kept same socket for few years and over couple architectures. I think that's way more customer friendly than Intels "new architecture - new socket" approach which forces customers to buy a new mobo every time they want to upgrade the CPU to a newer architecture. Also I think it's great idea that sockets have backward compatibility, because if your brand new CPU is DOA and you cannot get replacement right away, you can always buy cheap older CPU and use that.

Nvidia based gaming laptops suck. They're loud and don't have a lot of performance. I have an 840M equipped notebook and I need to play AC3 at 1280x720 at Very low to get more than 25 FPS. Rocket League plays at everything at low at 1080p. Even with these settings, the cooling fan ramps up to max. Not just on my particular model, a few classmates with other notebooks have the same problem.

 

I've never heard these complaints on AMD APU based notebooks. So I'm opting for one of those next time I need a new notebook for light gaming on the go.

[MSWindowsinside]

Also, I think Windows 10 Mobile beats every other mobile platform despite the app gap.
