Some Krytox 205g0 to re-lube the stabilizers on the keyboard. It's messy and a major PITA without desoldering but possible with some creativity.

Got the V9000 RGB KB&M set I ordered today. There are some downsides, but for $25 it was actually a fair price.

This is the stock photo;

And these are taken by me;

The keyboard is well made and sturdy and the mouse is the same. Had to do a bit of modding. See the details in the thread I made;

Trying to decide on an RGB KB&M set...

Oh don't get me wrong I don't throw anything out, my wife hates it!! I'll keep any good materials that can be used and I can use anything even a nice flat sheet of polystyrene from packaging is thermal insulation in my eyes. Even my skyloong keyboard This is filled with packing foam and has an...

Just bought a 6700 XT for MSRP direct from amd.com $479, will get one of these new budget AMD chips to pair it with and will have some proper 1080p gaming again on my 165hz 1080p IPS 23.8" monitor.

THE SHORTAGE AIN'T SHIT BOYS!!! :rockout:

i already have psu, case, cooler, etc.

What CPU should I pair it with? maybe I should just go balls to the wall and try to get the new 3dcache 5800 when it comes out? $450 really isn't much more than a $250 cpu... might as well go for it I guess.

what mobo should I get for the 5800x 3d cache cpu? is the gigabyte x570 aurous elite wifi good? it has the latest bios that will support the new cpu... and its on sale for 180 brand new... seems like a decent deal.

just treated myself to a set of Corsair Vengence RGB Pro SL ram, nothing fancy but i wanted white sticks to blend in with my other stuff, and ofc the RGB is nice

Edit: just for fun i decided to chuck my old Vengence LPX 3600's back in to have 32gb just to see if it would boot, as ive heard many stories that B450 boards dont do 4 sticks very well, much to my surprise it booted and its running at 3600 with no probs, done a few benchmarks and played a few games and no problems at all, mucho surprised lol, might even be tempted to buy another set of the RGB pro SL

If you target 165 fps, I wouldn't go lower than the 5700X. What cooler do you have? As for the motherboard, you'd want one with reliable, fully heatsinked power delivery and the B550 or X570 chipset. For my part, I can recommend the MSI B550 Tomahawk. It's one of the better AM4 boards and offers great value for money.

I already decided to get the ryzen 5800x 3d cache april 20th. and this $135 mobo just got a bios update last week to support this new cpu. ASUS Prime B550-PLUS

should be fine. i tried finding a review on vrm thermal temps for that mobo but could not find any sadly.

trying to keep this a budget build. my cooler is the vetroo v5 with dual fan

I'd rather have the Maurice than the Apple watch. How much is the Maurice moonphase watch?

Also finally going to switch the barbs for compression fittings,

And bought a nice old? swiss pocket watch for a tenner, has a nice 17 jewel movement, it is a Titus Watch Co

Got the MSI 6900 XT Gaming X Trio for $1100 @ microcenter. Only $100 more from reference MSRP, yet after a year and some months. But still not too bad considering the circumstances... Then again I've read this particular card has a real bad hotspot. Hopefully that can be remedied with some after market water cooling.

It will be my first radeon card!
