I love this setup...

Glad you like it. As you can see, custom built.

that's the huntsman with custom caps?

?!? Eh?

Got two of these with the grey chromax pads. I like the look and the sound profile, but I'm probably returning them tomorrow......................................

...............................because I did not expect to be cockblocked by the Unify-X's I/O shroud. No push-pull = same underwhelming performance. Granted, one is a 1.4kg+ absolute chungus and the other is a 740g dual tower with 1 fan......the SS135 does make slightly better contact, but some pitting on the coldplate also permanently scratched my 5900X IHS. Bravo, Thermalright!

• + 3.8c in CPU-Z
• + 6.7c in MW2019 (pulled the plug on the SS135 experiment when it hit 85.5 in that game, I'm pretty sure the U9S even beats that)
• - 1c GPU (I'm not trading 1c for nearly 7c CPU when the 2060 Super already never exceeds 73c)

So the C14S remains the undisputed king. Vengeance RAM cooler was also disappointing (+3c compared to just C14S airflow), so the C14S goes back to simultaneously doing both the SS135's job and the RAM cooler's job better than either of them.

Works very well. Been doing displays setup like this since 2006 when widescreen LCDs first became mainstream. Never experience neck pain.

Oh the keyboard... No, it's an old Gateway PS/2 keyboard I've had for a few decades.

Love this keyboard. As described over on the Ghetto Mods thread, I recently replaced the aging and deteriorating pleather wrist rest with a custom cut carpet tile. I'm not giving it up till it's dead.

the tubes for your PC machine?

 

[FireFox]

the tubes for your PC machine?

Yup.
Because i didn't notice any difference in performance between long and short runs then i will re-do the tubing, i like the old style, spaghetti runs.

Bought tons of stuff because of the 9.9 sales day here. I always wanted a cassette radio and finally found this Toshiba radio on sales day! I also got a classic pocket Toshiba. That thing beside is not fan I bought a Ryzen 3600 to be used in my desktop replacement laptop so I could give it to my mom. It does not come in its original box and its packed in weird way, I thought it would come in an official box, I guess I bought a tray cpu.

Cassette radio but came with an mp3 feature and usb. That is something new and old together.

If I would buy a new radio in my country it would be one with DAB+, AM-FM is slowly dying out here.

Correct, huntsman TE with the razer white keycaps - the machine my son uses, has puddings for extra RGB


Oh umm... does it count if i found out (thanks chromecast ultra!) that both my 32" 1440p high refresh monitors also work at 4K?
Phillips does 4k60 with no issues, but a tiny amount of pixel loss - windows clock numbers look 'shaved' like a row of pixel info got lost off the top (cleartype?)


The gigabyte? the budget VA panel screen people mock online?
4k 80Hz , looks very very close to native (150% looks almost identical to 1440p native, text etc looks basically the same)

We'll just say my system specs handle ghost recon breakpoint pretty well at 4k



pics of both monitors OSD's showing the OC genuinely worked, and they recognise it

Oh, they make an in-line thermal sensor? Neat! Saves you needing a spare port or T-block to fit one.

 

[MIRTAZAPINE]

A Ninja with his Shuriken. Scythe Ninja 5 and Scythe Shuriken 3 for lower profile builds. The quality of Scythe heatsink is a huge step up versus my Fuma 1 revB both the heatsink plus included fan as well as packaging. No bent fins from the packaging. Fans now all came with a thick rubber pad rather than plain plastic versus my old Fuma. This Ninja 5 is one chonky boy. Price is not usd but instead in my local dollars and I got both for about 15% off. Gonna test out how both performs later.
