Nice but why the 1.5KW PSU?

Yeah...learned the hard way, do not go cheap on the PSU., and also, I had a voucher for Corsair, so I went all in.

P4-630 · Feb 20, 2024

My old one broke....

Ordered an original Stanley

Klemc · Feb 20, 2024

Should i buy it, Liquid Freezer III ? 70 euro !

Over a 4 year Liquid Freezer II / 7800X3D.

well, are you dissatisfied with the performance of the actual one in your rig? if no: then it's not needed.
but if you are like me ... you might just as well go for it :laugh:

ahhhh .... pure bliss...
new mousemat or rather deskmate (the old one still worked perfectly ... but that one is gorgeous and less than 8chf)

although 2cm short on the width but still fitting

more travel case, now i just need one for the Endorphy Thock 75%

cheap, fit like a glove and solid.

cleaning tools for cheap? well ... yeah keyboard and earbuds (and a key puller... almost exactly the same as the one bundled with the Thock not the kind i like tho) but all in one convenience

yep, that one is the kind i like and i can also drop the switch puller

Panzerglass: 20chf+ these 2? ~5chf for both ... easier to install thanks to the guide, work exactly the same and as a bonus, minor scratches or blemish on the screen dissapear (well Gorilla Glass Victus is more "impact" than "scratch" resistant)

he's not too keen on using them on his keyboard :laugh:

defined as "cute girls sneezing" .... oh, really ... well, that's certainly a mild definition for an "ahegao"...
AI generated most likely :laugh:

i'll put back the pudding keycaps, but, well, i keep the "cute girls sneezing", i like oddities :laugh:

Oh, you sold me one past year, so, will you help O/C it ? Simple basic O/C !

Topic

Clock CPU (7800X3D)

Hey, i just don't understand anything to O/C, just read the last topic and found about : SoC 1.2v - (yes, i know where to set it) -30 CO - (Curv Opt) 1.12v is good voltage for all core load at 5.1GHz -4mv per digit (what ?) //OR// PBO+200 -20 CO // OCCT for stability verif. Sorry to...

118GB? I didn't realize they made M.2 versions that big. I bet installing Windows on that would make it very snappy.

Wonder if it's even enough of a latency improve to feel relative to NVME side by side in a identical system with OS GUI responsiveness or not dragging and dropping file windows and starting programs from a fresh boot. You probably can't really even tell, but maybe it reduces latency just enough to ever so slightly tell at the same time. It's difficult to say. Curious how it behaves both for OS or as just assigning it as a system page file rather than NVME in relative terms. A lot of NVME's these days do better on sequential performance, but aren't as good at I/O latency than Optane.

I think Optane is probably more ideally suited for OS than page file itself and opposite with NVME. Snappier OS behavior is probably higher importance than snappier pseudo memory storage. I mean at least that to me seem the case based on memory behavior in general with how it behaves between prioritizing CAS vs frequency.

Arctic Cooling makes good quality and good performing products. If the Liquid Freezer 3 is what you are thinking about, you'll have a good experience with it.

https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B0CLB5KR2J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

only 25GBP . Has BP monitoring, heart rate, SpO2, etc. oh and amoled screen.

Got a smart watch to go with my cycling.

I got a bike for cycling too

Nothing fancy, just an Aluminium 6061 framed bike, with Shimano 21 speed and disc brakes. Also has a front suspension. I guess its an MTB? Cost me 160 GBP.
I had to adjust the derailers and all on my own because the shop person didnt do a good job lol. I probably need to join the cycling clubhouse here.

Synthwave · Feb 21, 2024

A brass plate and an acrylic dust cover for my Keychron Q8.

Chicken Patty · Feb 21, 2024

I bought a Phanteks NV7 and some water cooling gear for a build I should have done this week. Love the damn case so far!

outpt · Feb 21, 2024

For road use I moved the tires to slicks.

Ah, I don't call those slicks in my world, it stil has some profile cut in to get rid of the water when needed.

Shrek · Feb 21, 2024

The contact area is actually rather small, so water gets cleared; the ones I use are modelled on a motorcycle grip.
