Cheap.$5 rechargeable LED a flashlight from Wish. Surprisingly bright, focusable, high, low blink modes. I suspect by its weight it won’t have great battery life. But definitely my new PC room “go to” light. Certainly better than the previous cheap one I bought off Wish.

The Ebay EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 Gaming 11GB arrived yesterday morning in perfect condition. It still has the protective plastic and port plugs on it. Like new. I decided to check on some Silver Stone FHP-141 fans on Amazon that I keep watching and they were down to $19.47 each. I bought two, went back for another and the price was back up to $25. With Prime they'll be here tomorrow. To finish the redo of the Xeon rig the 1080 went into I got another B-stock Arctic AIO off their Ebay page. $49 (+10 shipping) for a Liquid Freezer II 280 and it should be here Tuesday.

that's a nice find :) solid price

I totally agree on that!

I am running that same motherboard and it has been a solid board!!!

In fact, I actually did a motherboard review on that for another site. It's actually a pretty good overclocker and the temps were great. I did the review running a 3700X chip.

Now, what casual cheap games to run? Dirt Rally 2 is $5 on Steam now, 'til Nov 1, so will grab that one at least. Neverminding EA, is $5 a good deal that should be posted in Hot Deals thread?

Love my Logitech G29, which is a relatively cheap wheel too, not like those crazy simulation setups. Though I'm very jealous of those, just too pricey for me.

Forza, any of the Dirt series, or give Grid a go. Forza is pricey, but the Dirt and Grid series are usually pretty cheap, especially the older ones which are still great racing games.

Edit: want to add Project Cars to that list for something a little more serious.

I’m not sure why they say 4850, it’s actually 4950, and then your +200 brings you to 5150

So yeah going from a 5150MHz 5900X is noticeable for day to day stuff.. X3D feels slow in comparison but you get used to it.. games are where it’s at with this cpu. And it is super easy to cool. 5900X can be too, but if it is easy to cool you aren’t using 5900X properly :D

:laugh:

Logitech G29 user here as well, I use it for the occasional racing sims, like Forza Horizon, here's a pic of it.....actually it's hanging there on the left side of pic, though the pedals can be clearly seen below. 32:9 screen aspect ratio is just perfect for racing sims, unless one goes multi-monitor setup, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms.

omg... you give your headphone earpads little blanket covers... adorable. never seen that in all my years of enjoying the headphone hobby. lmao. i love it. well done good sir, you have impressed me. I also feel like a bad headphone owner now. lol

im still retired from the hobby with my trusty HD58X's, been happy with them since launch day. not sure if I will ever get back into the hobby honestly. I am tempted by the Hifiman Edition XS... but that is my max budget... maybe if it goes to $399 on a sale I will finally give them a go. any idea how well it would pair with an asgard 2 amp?


on topic: just bought my mobo and ram today to go with my new raptor lake cpu... no pics until build is all done though.

To round out the Sony 4K experience I grabbed this Pioneer USB 4K drive. And after a few hours of trying I realized that , as it has been known , you really can't get 4K disc play support on your PC because of anti-copy security that no graphics card makers can support. Unless!!! you have Intel graphics that have Intel SGX (Software Guard Extensions) . The newest Intel processors do not have this implemented either. So I procured a NUC7i7BNH , which is attached to a Razer Core egpu+Titan XP , from the living room and a NUC7i3BNH from the garage and went to work. With a couple of Windows software installations and setting the Bios to enable SGX and plugging into HDMI 2 on the Sony , both NUC's perform great. Couldn't be happier with the results. I will put the i7 back in the living room system and use the i3 between the garage and enjoying 4K discs.

I don't care what anyone says I had a 5950X and it was a monster. I am doing more Gaming so I got a 5800X3D and all I can do is have that smile you get when you get a PC part that is compelling in performance. Not as great for an AMD user as the 6800XT vs Polaris but close. Kind of like the 3300X vs any 2000 series CPU.

A bit expensive, but since this will last for the next 6-8 years probably not that much when split over that period of time.
Everything slow now has changed to "I AM SPEED". Next year will probably see GPU upgrade and I need to switch to M.2 fully, this motherboard has 4 slots, I will be able to throw out the disk cage.

Finally time to get us both off x299 I’m older and less excited to build things now; so we got his and her builds so I don’t need to think to hard. With that’s said it will probably take me days to do these since I’m pretty busy at work.
