@P4-630 nice to see a laptop in another colour than black or a Macbook.

It came with 1x2 and 1x4GB ram sticks so it's not dual channel :ohwell:

, I thought I'd buy another 4GB stick but to my likings it's fast enough already with this 6GB ram combo, 2.4GHz i3 7100U and Samsung M.2 SSD, so I won't do that.
6GB ram is enough for browsing/email and streaming so it's perfect the way it is, I really like the laptop.

But I wouldn't expect any different though for a 649 Euros 14" laptop. (with a free wireless Logitech M185 mouse.)

Monday:
since i replaced my Roccat Ryos TKL Pro by a Logitech G410 Atlas Spectrum, i thought "why not replacing the Nyth and Kiro and test a new one" .... compulsive buying, much? (not replacing them because a failure ... the preceding one were not Razer devices "
View attachment 92630

that's a good in between the Nyth and Kiro since it has 5 button left side instead of 12 and 2 (well the Kiro has 5 but 2 are on the right and the last one is behind the mousewheel ) since i noticed that in most of the games i play i only used buttons 1 to 5 or 6 at maximum on 12 with the Nyth (though it's a modular one ... i could also do a "6 button" Nyth by replacing the 12 single slot by 6 double slot )
View attachment 92632
around 60$ with a voucher during a promotion (which place it almost at the initial price of the Kiro and around half the price of the Nyth )

They have wonderful support I bought one a year or two ago for 50 bucks on Newegg , & a couple months ago one of the keys started to stick a little bit ,so I reached out to logitech ...they sent me a brand new one ,no questions asked

so now I have a brand new one sitting on a shelf and I haven't even opened it yet.

I really like that 12 years warranty.
I will be looking at a Seasonic Prime unit as well when I need to replace my Be Quiet! PSU.

khemist · Oct 14, 2017

Yeah, i've never has a Seasonic before, i've used Silverstone for the last 7 years or so.

Apparently their "FOCUS plus" series is also pretty good.

i love my M12II from them ... even if only "bronze" it's a real good unit, a little pricey (well it's a tad higher than the InWin Commander III Desert Fox gold i had) but totally worth it

Always worth spending a little extra on a PSU, even more so with them not out dating as fast as most pc parts.

Noticed a old classic AV from Yamaha when they used to make them serviceable without taking them apart by just taking the top off and the bottom comes off and sounds awesome as expected, all for $30 with remote.

Had to get it for that much, i actually remember these being in the shops back in the UK when me and a friend used to go visit the HIFI shops back in the day.

RGB fidget spinner and a Lenovo T430

(another lol)

this one has a 1600x900 display vs a 1367x768 and also has dual band wifi...

DR4G00N · Oct 19, 2017

Snapped up a card I wanted for a long time,
Asus HD 5870 Matrix Platinum Edition.

khemist · Oct 19, 2017

Well an update on the Seasonic prime PSU, i'm returning it as it has a ticking noise when the fan is spinning.

It happens all the time in normal mode and when in hybrid mode it starts when uder load and stops after around 10 minutes of being idle.

I read of another guy who had the same problem and got a replacement with the same issue so i think i will go for another model rather than risk having to return again.

I've uploaded a sound file here - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8McpMouxO5rS3JfV05RYmc3Z28

I'm sure some people would put up with it maybe on a lesser psu who aren't so fussed about noise but it is very annoying for me and can't be having it.
