These are brilliant (excuse the pun)

LED COB ( circuit on board )

This one uses 62 watts of power and outputs about the same amount of light as a traditional 130w bulb. Just solder on a kettle lead and you' re away.

They only cost 4 quid, dont need a driver and has multiple uses in the home and garden. This unit is full spectrum but predominantly blues and reds.

:pimp:

Sounds like it needs a good heat sink.

They do run hot thats correct.

This is why i never throw anything away.

Its only a 5 minute job

AsRock · Oct 20, 2017

Looks like a nice fit size wise, that a sanace fan ?, maybe use thermal control to if the fan fails that it turns off so it don't fry.

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Oct 20, 2017

theres no label on the fan and it could have come out of anything. A lot of people run them with passive heatsinks but in this application the warm air generated is collected for use.

Just purchased a very expensive stick of gum and an oddly shaped coffee mug.

The coffee has yet to arrive but I'm told it's mostly silicon, so that'll be fun to brew.

Helped upgrading my dad's rig to a used i5-4570T, brand new AsRock Z87M OC Formula (Rev 2.0), Kingston HyperX Fury Black 2x8GB 1866mhz and a Cooler-Master Hyper 212 Evo and reused his Intel 335 240GB SSD.

He used a old Q6600 he had from new, Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3, Mushkin Redline 2x4GB XP2-8000 and 2x1GB other oem ram.

Case Labs ITX motherboard mount (Mercury S3 version).

Not ready for an ITX project, but wanted to have it around for when I am. It takes Case Labs a few weeks to produce their items after you order.

Thanks to Frank & G.SKILL for being awesome :respect:

Cooler Master MS 120

" Mem-chanical" key board

The name is a little misleading, its a membrane keyboard with clicky switches, Really clicky

Actually not a bad feel, more testing to be done

XB241YU replaces S2716DG. I've been a little concerned whether it'll be a good replacement but it's everything I've wanted.

Colors- amazing for a TN, better then my s2716dg already. This monitor comes really well calibrated for a TN. I've been able to achieve better colors and lower banding with just a few clicks in the OSD.

Motion clarity and image sharpness are amazing on a 24" 1440p monitor with 165hz refresh and better overdrive than Dell.

Build quality - better than Dell, this is some heavy and sturdy piece of hardware. Dell was 4+/5, this is 5+/5.

If this isn't the best gaming monitor under $400 then I don't know what is.

Best part is it cost me 1900PLN, Dell S2716DG goes for 2600PLN new, I can sell it and still have enough left to buy a nice heaphone set. Therefore my question, can anyone recommend a lightweight,comfortable gaming heaphones under $100. Don't need to have a mic, just need to be comfortable and light.

Yup, the dude who gave me that 980 lives in the same city where I live, so he brought it straight to my front door. Works perfectly fine.

Before I got that by a total surprise, I bought a reference GTX 670 from the Finnish overclocker legend Sampsa (familiar from Muropaketti and now io-tech), but he had lot of things to do, so I got that card just yesterday. Well, I didn't let it just gather dust on my shelf, so I put it as a PhysX card. :toast:

edit: Flashed a 760 Ti (OEM) bios just for curiousity, same card with different name. Seems to work.
