I recommend you do indie games on it too! Stardew Valley, etc.

here is my latest edition... sadly it won't fit my case...

I plan on getting a new case at some point though, so I am keeping it... it was only $55, so fair deal imo.

i already have one since 2017

but everyone here picks it up all the time and plays when i wanted to play

55 bucks is an amazing deal! but i'd swap the fans out (they can get ridiculously loud)

20-30-30 and 1.6V......my money's on Hynix DJR.

It's not that impressive though. Rev.B is 5100 @ 1.5V. Hynix tRFC is always tighter than Micron but that's about it. That, and being trusted with 1.6V from the factory

Crucial Ballistix MAX 16GB Kit (2 x 8GB) DDR4-5100 Desktop Gaming Memory (Black) | BLM2K8G51C19U4B | Crucial.com

I hear ya super-intelligent tech brother.

So I should go with this 4800Mhz Samsung B-die Royal Elite kit - much more overclocking headroom?

That Crucial 5100Mhz kit is $1000, umm nope. :oops:

Right now 5.3Ghz 11600K "Daily OC" with 4800 17 17 37 gear 2 - feels extremely awesome.

Yeah the Ballistix 5100 pricing is just LMAO - I get why because it's their flagship bin, but the 4000 and 4400 bins aren't far behind.

I'm not 100% sure but looking at the timings I don't think any SKUs at all in the Elite lineup are B-die. They all look like Hynix. B-die doesn't get much better than what you have right now methinks. The Micron and Hynix stuff only helps freq overclocking, B-die is still performance king

Didn't need it but bought one of the new logitech mice, 99 grams feels like a feather switching from the M705, super low friction feet, it just glides. 12k dpi sensor doesn't hurt either.

I run my G502 with all the weights.. when I think of light mice I just.think of those cheap generic mice that came with your Dell. Apparently people will pay for that feeling now…

I can't live without my Naga X. Not sure how heavy it is, but it's got some heft. I love the third finger resting spot, and the side numbers, I don't use the software. Works out great for me honestly. I know it's heresy for most PC gamers, but I am an expert with my thumb on the number buttons these days... been doing it for so many years. Really comes in handy.

xtreemchaos · May 16, 2021

thanks bud thats what i thought, the mobo will be replacing my z270 a in my processing rig and the psu ill keep as a spare as ive got seasonics in both my main riggs.

TheLostSwede · May 16, 2021

Picked this up for the equivalent of $210, just in case there'll be a real shortage on storage.
First time I think I've ever picked something up locally here for the same price as on Amazon in the US.

Same here. I have also buying up storage for my new 2 in 1 build and more than original exspexted to start with. Just in case we see a shortage of hdd/SSD.

I missed out on gpu. But I will not risk missing out on storage as well.

So I have been buying 2 x WD Gold 14 tb hdd and 2 x Samsung 980 pro 1 tb + 2 tb of the same SSD. Also a 2 tb crucial mx500 sata SSD. So I'm good for a few years now, if a shortage comes up.

I think you need a few more games there!! Or is it that you need a few more consoles to be able to play them all on at once!!

Outstanding!!
