What's your latest tech purchase?

[GreiverBlade]

All the reviews i have read doesn't mention anything about that data power plug.

nonetheless it's kinda obvious that a sata connector should be connected to a sata power plug? right?

thought i just noticed that all the reviews i did read about didn't mentioned the fan hub connector, but for me it was logical

ah yes:
"

The fan controller connections. One SATA for power, three 3 pin fan headers. That's Band-Aid #2, by the way. You don't want to see #1."

I saw the two wires and assumed it was for LED power

well it could've been if there was any led in it but right assumption is right, showcase from cougar often put it with RGB strips for show.

Ok, you showed it off.... Now the question is... Who's gonna use it at your home?

You don't want me cooking , unless paramedics and/or fire services are on standby! .

Where that should be plugged

Yeah for a fan controller, I have one in my Be Quiet! case, it plugs in a sata plug just to power some fans.

I have never used one before, that's why i asked

Was also a first time for me with my Be Quiet! case, but I figured it out!

let's Roc[K]C at your place .... my etailer did a promo on selected roccat gear ... my desk is Roccat'ed ... (Nyth/Ryos TKL Pro/Alumic) ... so ... why not a discounted Kave XTD (stereo ... 5.1/7.1 are a gimmick plus my speaker set is a 2.1 so ... not really caring about )

1 x Roccat Kave XTD Stereo (Over-Ear, Black) CHF 79.00 incl.
1 x Promotional coupon redeemed (ROC20CAT) CHF -15.80 incl.
1 x Account fees CHF 2.34 incl.

Total amount of order: CHF 65.54 incl.

only cons ... it's the standard one and not the military edition ... oh well that's fine (plus Roccat logo is almost a cougar? eh? )

[GreiverBlade]

@GreiverBlade what next?

for you or for me?

er for you ... well what you miss for the loop? (except the 1080 classy block obviously )

 

[FireFox]

for you or for me?

Both

well what you miss for the loop?

I was forgetting something very important
Without Water the Watercooling System it's useless
Wait a second i have to order it.

 

[GreiverBlade]

Both.

well 1st i need to wait tomorrow morning for my Kave XTD... then the motherboard swap will wait 2017 (convenient that we are in December 2016 ... ) otherwise in the middle i wait on 4 Aliexpress delivery (total random) and i think about getting 2 more ML140 for the H115i.

WELL DUH! mmhhh my favorite of the moment is either Aquatunning AT Protect Clear or EKWB coolant (different dying )

tested : Phobya Zuper Zero clear and red (more pinkish than red ...) not bad but need a really clean loop (usually not an issue with brand new pieces ) and Mayhems X1 Bloodred a total crap, not bad in a moddable AIO like the Raijintek Triton but acted like a culture fluid in the GPU loop ...

I have been using for the last few years
innovatek Protect IP Anwendungsmischung (1 Liter)

I don't use colorants because i have EKWB UV Tubes.

ohhhh innovatek, i always forget that they are still alive
my favorit from them was a Antec Phantom 500 modded with a waterblock, and sold by them under the name of Cool-power 500

i used one in a build for a project (a watercooled hackintosh, that got shutdown by the person who ordered it since it was a friend ... i did not complain ahah )

non pc related: (finally, and no word play, or sword play , about the game from where the sword is.)

new keychain .... i have to be careful at an airport ... although it did come with me from Spain to Switzerland recently ... but it was in my hand baggage in a satchel at the bottom of the pack

if there is one thing to not complain in Switzeland,

The 360mm Rad that i ordered yesterday after a few hours it was sent, i said WTF

 

[GreiverBlade]

The 360mm Rad that i ordered yesterday after a few hours it was sent, i said WTF

Germany? if yes ... well i have to agree on the WTF .... because i ordered most of my 1st loop part from Aquatunning.ch (swiss site of Aquatunning.de but warehouse still in Germany ) and i got them way faster than any other order i placed in the european union, and all that with an impeccable DHL or UPS tracking service.

 

[FireFox]

Germany? if yes

Yes Germany, i have never had any problems with shipping even sometimes i get things delivered before time.

 

[GreiverBlade]

honestly that was an excellent idea ... extremely comfortable even without adjustment...

the Panzer Max headset hook is useful at last ... nonetheless ... unsightly cable

oh well, solution (no worries i pushed the jack fully once i noticed on the pics the 1mm gap )


i have to confess ... i only bought that to add a new sticker on the shroud ...

 

[FireFox]

Arrived today.

I have ordered 2 days ago, it was shipped from Manchester ( United Kingdom )
That's freaking fast

 

[P4-630]

Ordered a Galaxy S7..
