Ordered a BT5 dongle as well since my old BT4.0 dongle doesn't seem to co-operate with these headphones. Was hella expensive, cost whole 1.77EUR incl. VAT. :D

Well, at least I can use these Sonys wired.

My first wireless mouse since er.. early 2010s, hopefully I won't regret it this time

Been using the non RGB version for about six months now and it's good. It's not perfect, but at least this time around you can use any USB-C cable to charge it, unlike it's predecessor that could only be charged with the supplied micro USB cable.

Wait, wut? Some proprietary crap?

I mean I hate it when there's a device which has a nonstandard USB connector.

The hole to insert the cable into in the G502 Lightning mouse has a very strange shape and it's too deep into the body of the mouse for a regular micro USB cable to fit.

Well, at least Logitech fixed it on the G502 X series, for what it's worth. It's just dumb to have to use a specific cable to charge your mouse, or anything really.

It's even worse if it doesn't come with an specific cable but almost needs one ^^" my CU7 only reliably works with the usb-c cable which came with my controller (gulikit kk3 max). Everything else is to big and/or too wobbly...

Razer as well. They use USB-C with no weird shape from the Viper V2 Pro onwards.

Ah, so the cable has to be specially shaped? Some modification would probably work, but still, naaah... stupid thing when you do something artificially incompatible crap.

Yeah, it's got angled sides, rather than square, but you'd have to file off a lot of plastic on a regular cable to be able to maybe use it.
And yes, it was a really annoying part about that mouse, which they fortunately solved by going USB-C and not doing a stupid shape on the hole for the cable.

Some headsets do that same stupid shit, they have a detachable mic but it's specially shaped so you can't mix them with others.

Actually even the first iPhone had its headphone jack so deep that not every cable reached the jack. Though Apple fixed that in iPhone 3G so I guess that it was just a design flaw.

Sounds fine so far, nothing to complain. Except that it uses BT 5.2 and is incompatible with my old BT 4.0 dongle, so I have to use them wired until I'll get a new dongle. (ordered a BT5 dongle from ebay)

Bought a Thermalright PA140 white coupled with a white Arctic P12 Max to replace the included TL-C12Cv2. Works great, and I get massively lower temperatures at load at massively lower RPM compared to my PCCooler R4000. The P12 Max can also spin up to 2310 RPM if needed.

Power Supply Super Flower Leadex III 750w
Software W11 Pro
Bought a Thermalright PA140 white coupled with a white Arctic P12 Max to replace the included TL-C12Cv2. Works great, and I get massively lower temperatures at load at massively lower RPM compared to my PCCooler R4000. The P12 Max can also spin up to 2310 RPM if needed.

I found humor in noise and speed reduction when your GPU is a Turbo Jet.

More like an afterburner ~

I decided I would change my case for the X670E-EXTREME board. Get a proper fitting EATX. Also got the 3.0 1300W PSU. Lian-Li has nice cables and a nice fit for the O11 EVO XL and it'll be roomier and adjustable for better exhaust for a top mount radiator. Delivery next Wed.

Afterburner is MSI.

Latest tech purchase is a lead-acid battery. 650 cold cranking amps.

The old one was 550 on the label and had fallen to 350. Wouldn't turn over the old 4.0 V6.

No pics because it's not very warm outside.

i have the TR PA 120 White and i will definitely get some Arctic P12 Max white or ARCTIC P12 PWM PST A-RGB white when i get the time to instal it ... soon(tm)
(more seriously ... damn can't find the time to redo my rig ... i still have the PA120 and the GPU ROG HerculX Evangelion jig in their respectives boxes ... )

also, damn those Juhor Stardance Ramstick look good ... if they had a led strip on top i would replace my Corsair Vengeance Pro aRGB 3600C18 in a jiffy

Afterburner is MSI.

Heard of it. Never used it. Never owned an MSI anything product. Does it make a special sound?
