Cheapo Corsair stock fan from an AIO to feed GPU. Not a fan of Corsair in general and finding that they glued a hard plastic plug into the lube port only deepened this feeling.
NFG dirt chisel that will run full speed during gaming sessions until it dies.

i have the same fan as rear from my brother's old corsair case

now i own a wifi 6 router

my brother wanted to swap with my wifi 5 router (xiaomi 4a)
it's a dlink DIR-X1560
the reason was wifi 5g band wouldn't connect of late, reboot only used to fix it temporarily
which doesn't really matter as i use ethernet on my pc (main device)
phone and tv are secondary for me (which i rarely use) so 2.4g should be fine for them

My UK shopping spree continues with an Alexa Echo Dot and a Lenovo Tab P11with keyboard and pen, with both at reduced prices at Currys.
The last shiny thing will probably be a Ryzen 5700X3D since upgrading the GPU is just too expensive.

Picked up the package today. Gotta love that this interwebz buddy sends hardware on their original boxes (the same happened with my EVGA G2 750W and my old 1080 Ti).

edit: Forgot to include in the pic, but there was also a huge 10g syringe of Noctua NT-H2 TIM.

Just got a better keyboard to replace my old corsair.

after having a chat with TB customer service, they recommended me to contact the seller where i got it ... so, i got a refund ...

i don't mind ... the Elite Series 2 is 60chf cheaper than the Stealth Ultra ... so...

i will keep the ES2, but once it's out of its 24 month warranty and if it get stick drift, decided to challenge myself ...
third party HALL Effect stick, and full cover (lies!!!! it doesn't cover the bottom!!!! ... errrr, luckily, for the paddles )

and since i am a sucker (for cute box art ... :oops:

) ... why not some ChiFi IEM single DD with dip switches ... (again...)

well ... i am mainly using the NiceHCK DB2 atm (i still can't believe they did cost me 4 time less than the Fiio FH1s ...) on the go and the Tangzu Wan'er S.G. SE at home
but i am interested to see how these will do ... (took em in black )

and decided to get the USAMS powerbank with the lightning add on (mainly for my coworkers and not due to the USB-C not being in stock )

well it started with 1 C to C 100w USAMS cable ... now i have in addition : 1 100w GaN 4 port charger (using it mainly with the Ally) and 1 35w GaN 1 USB-C + USB-C 80cm module
pretty much flawless experience with that brand ...

We bought a new hisense refrigerator. The previous one died after 20 years.

FoulOnWhite · Aug 31, 2024

Just got a sweet buy for £35

The drivers in the round thing are swiss made, and have spare bits in the middle bit under a cover, the tweezers are very nice quality indeed. Anyone know the brand that has the sword on?

jallenlabs · Aug 31, 2024

My GSKill bdie eBay find came today. 16gb 3600mhz 16-16-16-36 1.35v xmp settings. I was able to get it to them to 4000mhz 15-16-16-36-52-1T Gear 1 @1.5v on my 12600kf which is at 5.4ghz on 2 cores/5.2ghz all core and 4.1ghz on the eCores. Been fun benching and tuning this lil kit. All for $34 US.

It does, good quality at a reasonable price, it gives me a little extra control and pre oomph between my chromebook and my panasonic amp.

POGE · Sep 1, 2024

Arriving Wednesday... Been 7 years since my last new PC. Sorry if I'm supposed to wait for it to arrive before posting.. I can't wait hahaha

Anyone know if the ssds will come in raid 0 or if I can configure that for extra speed?

Nice, good tweezer sets are always useful.

Snitches might get stitches, but switches just get replaced....also, i rather like d-link switches. not bad for the money.

FoulOnWhite · Sep 1, 2024

Got a better desk yesterday too, i had a old mdf one that was atrocious, this is much better, and i have drawers(no pun intended

Probably won't come that way. You can do software RAID through Windows, but that will act as a secondary virtual drive - C won't be part of the RAID. I am not sure if that laptop BIOS will support RAID, but if it does you can use that.

freeagent · Sep 1, 2024

Well.. I put roughly 4000km on my Segway Ninebot S+.. lol. Only 1 person called me a fag in the 3 years that I rode it lol. I will still keep it for when I have to go to the shops, but I have a new commuter on the way..

I would get a bike.. believe me I want to. But I have torn meniscus thingies in both of my knees. I have to wait 18 months before anyone will poke me with anything.
