I finally manage to track down another 16GB kit of these Geil DragonRAM DDR4 they were pricey now I can finally get 32GB of ram which been a dream of this kit for a long time.

I know these are PC4-32000 and my other kit is PC4-24000 but they can both do 3000mhz for now maybe later I will try out 4000mhz on all 4 see how my AsRock Z370 Taichi and Intel Core i7-8086K Coffee Cups say to it

@biffzinker is that smiley for the pillow or ram?

Earlier this week I got this small box home running PFSense, it's AMD GX-412TC Jaguar 1Ghz Quad-core, 4gigs of DDR3-1333 DRam, 16GB SSD storage, 3xIntel I211AT Ethernet ports and 2xUSB 3.0. Link - https://pcengines.ch/apu2c4.htm

For the RAM, they look snazzy even with no heatspreader.

Yeah they are awesome looking and performing not many white blocks out their like these with white chips.

What are you using that for?

 

[Shou Miko]

What are you using that for?

I was planning to use it as my new router if it could encrypt my connecting with a vpn but sadly the seller only talked about site-2-site vpn using OpenVPN with some custom values it can only do 80/50mbit and that's too slow for me and I am better off with like a Ubiquiti USG but I will see.

I wouldn't mind trying out OpenConnect or Wireguard but problem is when it's not a package for PFSense they don't attent to be so stable for me. I figured that out at work installing anything from SSH that's not meant for PFSense plays nice for awhile but not after time.

I got kinda tired of the cable drag and basic mess on my Logitech G502 Proteus Core so I picked this up on sale at the local supermarket normal price for black or white was £48 and online £43 but in the supermarket they have like 25% off Logitech mice these days so this was only £36 which is really nice price for me




I am using a AAA to AA converter to get down in weight and it feels really different from the AA testing it a bit.

What is different is I loss one button on the side I could start/pause music on but that's shouldn't be a problem and the scroll wheel has changed too I have to get use to it.

nice idea on the battery converter for less weight

Thanks I saw it on YouTube Zy aka rocketjumpninja showed it in a video with Bryan from TechYesCity if I remember correct

You'll be changing that battery every month though. Get yourself a set of AAA NiMH rechargeables as they will be the most cost efficient and perform the best.

I got these Duracells for free a and I have a bunch left so I will just use them they where free anyway.

After I might find some others plus I turn off the most when I don't use because it got on/off button underneath.

I will post more....

That mouse pad though.

That mouse pad though.

It was the cheapest I could get at the time and it looked fine and still does

Basicly the Same thing that has been used on Ebay Scams ( not in this case) in the past to fool people buying Batterys

This one came from the discordant annals of my Lightroom library. A 'mistake' of sorts, grabbed while experimenting with ways to get red LED's to show up as red instead of yellow/orange. Seems like they really easily overcome the red pixels on the sensor until somehow that trickles out into the blue/green ones in the clusters... there's just so much light coming off of such a small area that they still register as white, even if they are mostly red light. The centermost LED's are always the brightest, so they shift white first. I don't know if that's really how it works, but that's how it behaves. Lower the exposure and they turn more red, from edges in. Or maybe it's helpful to think of it in luminosity values. Values over 100% clip as white. It's like trying to take pictures with the midday sky in the background. Very tricky.

Actually, this one was still very dark and orange to start. I was able to lower the contrast, pull the shadows, and tweak the colors a little bit. Still not gonna work for what I want, but seems to work here! Modern DSLR's really do pick up a ton more information than you see.

What I'm ultimately trying to do is get the whole build pretty much in the dark, with all of the dark components and case interior still exposed enough to see the details, but the LED's not looking so bright that they blow out and cease to be red. Sort of a true to life contrast... or as close as a screen can replicate - basically what I see when I look down at my machine in very dim, ambient light. Easier said than done - contrast ratio is off the charts, but I know it is possible. If not through capture, then editing. I'm sure you all get how tricky capturing RGB'd machines can be. And I can tell you it doesn't get better with more capable equipment!

Eh, got one unexpectedly cool shot from it at least. Or I think it's pretty cool anyway. Way more dramatic than I meant (the original contrast is why I tossed it over a coupla weeks ago.) But it found a home anyway.

RGB TridentZ is probably the most over-featured RAM kit of all time. But not for no reason! They always look so clean.

nice, i move to wireless too since i fell too much cable on my desk
btw using AAA doesn't affect the performance?

No actually not I feel more precise with this then my old G502 but again new generation, smaller mouse, new switches and sensor.

You should see if you can jerry the internals into the G502 body

Why? The size of the G305 is actually getting to me more and more using like the crawl technic using the most not like a flatpalm on the G502.
