What's your latest tech purchase?

This, you clearly have them paired up in 1/2 and 3/4instead of 1/3 2/4.

Here's the new kit with the existing DDR4 3200 kit.

So what you are saying is that your old kit is installed in slots 2 and 4, while the new kit is in slots 1 and 3 (from left to right)? Its just that AIDA64 shows something else...but it could just be an AIDA64 error...

X58 chipset?
 
That's a Rampage III Extreme.
 
......anyone else just randomly buy mice for no particular reason?

A new mouse and keyboard wouldn't be a bad idea right now....

The question though is, do you have a need for a new KBM or is it to satisfy the new hardware itch some people get? I'll admit to being guilty of such.
 
My Corsair keyboard I believe has just decided to start not working correctly, so I think it might actually be a needed upgraded rather than a want.. Strange thing really considering most of the upgrades I do are wanted rather than needed.... Seems to be why I've not gone and bought some bigger storage drives yet :laugh:
 
I used to have a moderate input device purchase addiction about a decade back (particularly Logitech devices) but thankfully it's subsided in later years. I still spend time planning what to upgrade to when the stuff I'm currently using breaks, but I no longer buy everything that catches my fancy just to try. Heck, I've even used the G602 for something like six years (got the first one replaced despite being just out of warranty back in 2018 when the wheel click failed - Logitech support is always awesome).

Logitech's latest peripherals are really top notch. ....My next keyboard will be the Asus Rog Claymore(still can't quite figure out why).... if I can find one for a relatively sane price..... If not then definitely a Das.

I don't see myself switching keyboards away from the Logitech G G413 Silver anytime soon.

Keyboards were actually part of what started moving me away from them. The G710 is possibly the best looking and best feeling full size keyboard I've used, but it's too big for me - not only is the design rather chunky, but full size keyboards give me carpal tunnel, sadly. TKL it is for me, and Logitech's offerings there have typically been lacklustre. I also don't like their weird Romer-G switches (too mushy); Browns or other crisp tactile switches it is for me (use mech keys at work, though my daily use home keyboard is actually a Lenovo ThinkPad USB keyboard with scissor switches - essentially a wired version of the T440 laptop keyboard - it's really good). But their mice are fantastic, I can't see myself ever really going somewhere else. Think I've owned more than 20 Logitech mice over the years. My favourite was probably the old MX700 (cordless MX500), though when I dug it out a few months back the shape was amazing, but the range, lag and battery life (terrible even with fresh rechargeables) made using it a no-go. It was also very, very heavy even compared to the G602 with two batteries. Still, if Logitech followed up on their MX518 refresh with a wireless version, I would be all over it. Still considering getting an MX518 just for the ergonomics. And now I just discovered that they are on sale.... damn, shouldn't have looked.
 
You could not believe for how much i get this expensive waterblock for my Strix 2080 Ti… Brand new… i cant be so happy.

A guy that have bought 2 of them and never used because he said his case doesnt allow him to Mount them.

A deal that can happen rarely.

Just for 50 swiss francs ( same as dollars 50$)

As much as I would love to get a new KB (wrist rest broken) I cannot seem to justify replacing my G510. For me Logitech is dropping the ball by not releasing an update for the G19 and G510.

Those keyboards were pretty cool, but sadly the prospect of maintaining software support for the displays to stay compatible (and actually useful) in games is probably why they haven't had any follow-ups - the cost/benefit will never add up for something like that unless you manage to make game developers support it themselves or create an open API and are able to build a developer community. There's still utility in general usage like media playback controls etc. of course. I had a G15 way back when (which I guess the G510 was a successor to) but ultimately the display had very little utility to me - over time I realized that I barely used the display at all, and macro keys have long since lost any utility to me. Though of course people have very different usage patterns, and I absolutely understand the frustration for someone who actually makes use of those features. I've long since moved on to thinking simpler and smaller is better for keyboards, but that's a very personal decision.
 
Stoked, new pc , it's a keeper.

 
Wow can't say I've ever seen 4 12v rails.

You make me realise it that it's 4 rails. I did not even see it at first. :p

Just got it from E-Bay. Vintage bnib Sparkomatic 6x9 speakers that I will put in boxes and use on my home theatre amplifier so my 80's music sound like that era.
