wrong threaaaad

as for this threads topic... dont pay for a C2, and get a C1 in disguise. Get that new panel bruh.
You're still better off with C1 because it's the one that actually offers BFI @120 Hz.

To me is was always a C1, it was just so delayed it never made it in time to really be a C1 model, so it's slotted into the C2 lineup.

Again from everything I can tell, the newer panel type isn't actually significantly brighter or have meaningful advances in image retention. The size and spec (OLED colors and pixel response times, infinite contrast, 120hz, Gsync, low latency etc etc) are all there and what really matter to me, and none of that is significantly, or in most cases even marginally improved with the new panel type.

Kinda bummed they removed BFI for the 120hz mode on the C2.... The motion clarity with it on is so much better on the C1

Logitech G815 Tactile, easily the most expensive keyboard I've bought and unfortunately nowhere near as great as I expected it to be, despite the infinite hype and glowing reviews. It's definitely a good keyboard in terms of lean size and very low profile with a solid chassis, but that's where my praise ends. The ABS keycaps wobble a lot and highlight oil stains, plus the actual switches require more force than a Cherry MX Brown while having almost no tactile bump at all (even the Browns have better tactility). The Logitech GL switches are actually some sort of Kailh choc's with proprietary keycap stems, so there goes any chance of replacements. I'll probably get better at speed typing on it over time but honestly it's far from the confidence-inspiring and engaging typing experience I was hoping for. Not outright terrible, just overpriced and pretty average.

Benchmark Scores Don't know any benchmark. It runs good enough for me.
My current Corsair SF450 platinum psu decided to bite the dust after connecting a new HDD and would be going through RMA soon. It was finally a good time upgrade that, saw this Asus Rog STRIX 850w Gundam and I was sure this is it. The Gundam sealed the deal for me :laugh: This Asus psu is probably based on the Seasonic GX-850 the succuessor to sea sonic focus plus series. The Psu itself is plain white the same as their white strix. The difference here is the accessories such as the removable Gundam theme magnetic faceplate and badges plus the blue/white theme cables versus the regular black cable.

Although this is a fairly compact atx psu moving from an sfx psu to this, it felt big.

Spent some considerable time gaming on a CX and didn't feel a strong need for it, I do see the 120hz BFI mode is gone but might return with firmware? I won't hold my breath, but In any case I don't see myself using that mode for the vast majority of games, even if it were available.

I've never used BFI on my B9, and yes there was a beta firmware that briefly enabled it even in 120hz mode. I never bothered honestly, after testing it once couldn't really see the benefit. It just made everything seem dimmer to me. The response time is already absurd.

This is just it, maybe some games under some circumstances where I can get that 120 lock it will be beneficial, but the motion clarity in VRR on these displays is already totally unrivalled. My lord I am keen just thinking about it. I'll be sure to post pics of the completed setup, I don't like the term 'endgame' (especially in relation to tech), so I'll say that this should easily be a 5+ year monitor for me.

Agree, even with it off it destroys my ips and Va panel based monitors. Just not a huge fan of them removing features. For me it substantially helps blur persistence. A lot of people don't care and are just use to it since lcd based panels suck so bad at it....

Nice yeah same deal, friggin heatpipes on an nvme cooler seems overkill and they're so flimsy as it is would it even be safe to bolt a tower cooler to it? I've been looking at a few some have backplates and sandwich the nvme drive and there are a couple radiator configurations with tiny blower fans like these, how much overkill do we really need for nvme drives?

Got this from a charity shop for £7.

It's a little ESP32 board. Seems to have a program loaded to show the temp sensor, altitude and air pressure atm. Also has a neat little OLED 1.5" screen onboard. runs C, C++ MicroPython, has 4mb onboard storage, 520k sram ans wifi BT and 10/100 ethernet. isn't it cute.

I use alot of different boards like this around the farm using esphome but it becomes an obsession probably have 50+ now.

So I just grabbed a new router to add to my now growing OpenWRT mesh $60 isn't too bad considering the specs.

$96!!!! They sell for about 30 here in asia


I use alot of different boards like this around the farm using esphome but it becomes an obsession probably have 50+ now.

So I just grabbed a new router to add to my now growing OpenWRT mesh $60 isn't too bad considering the specs.

Usb enclosure and nvme drive might be next purchase to connect to it

I don't even know what to do with it, just looked interesting. Any pointers are welcome :)

So I've had a pretty profitable week at my business...

so I did a late night insanity...

I have an EVGA 3090 ti FTW3 now coming from newegg.

I'm still not entirely sure why I ordered it and made that much money go poof, but, my 4K screen keeps talking to me everytime I try to cancel the order, begging me to stop.

If it makes it here, I will post extensive photos.

I'm using that CPU block at least. It's pretty good. That kit looks pretty good.
Sweet now all I gotta do is plan it to fit the RV02 case I have and yes I could upgrade the case but the only other case that has enough HDD space is the Lian Li O11D XL
