What's your latest tech purchase?

That's pretty cool. How much wattage can the CPU socket take?

sam_86314 · Jun 23, 2018

Up to 65W, but some people have gotten 7700Ks to work by delidding and undervolting them. Using a CPU that is more than 65W will void the laptop's warranty, though.

dj-electric · Jun 23, 2018

I'd totally go ham with something like an i5 6500\7500. Deliding anyway. What an incredible value.

cucker tarlson · Jun 26, 2018

None of them are RGB.

new 2018 model of Apevia fans pink color

and the 3 on front are 140mm x3 Corsair - very dark purple glow, its gorgeous irl, its almost like a black glow the purple is so dark

that needs to be the next trend / invention, black noctua heatsink, black noctua fans, and then black LED glowing strips, but like a sort of mystical black glow, that would be epic

Received this today. Evga GTX 1050 2GB FTW Gaming ACX 3.0
Snapped it up from Evga's B-Stock on sale last Wednesday, it was listed @ $130 USD but I also had some Evga bucks saved up so it was only $55 USD shipped when all was said and done.

Cheating a bit, not actually a tech purchase but it is supporting some of my tech purchases: a new display case.

I got a robit! a Neato D7 connected Vacuum!!

AsRock · Jun 27, 2018

Isn't one of those room cleaners that map out your house ?, some are said that they send the info out to the internet too.

Safe here from those not just the silly price but thinking they hate screws

.

remixedcat · Jun 27, 2018

Yes, and my house has a fairly typical layout so... nothing really distinct about it. Just an average 4BR2BA house lol. It has to map it so it can create the no-go zones. It's cool. You can go to the app and draw boundaries where you don't want it to go (I did the area around the cats water dish, around the stairs, and a wonky spot in my office I knew it would get stuck on lol. So far we ran it 3 times on the 2nd floor since it was really gross lol.

It did get stuck a few times allready but it was a quick fix. completely filled the fucker up in just 2 rooms the first time lmao. our floors are really bad. and it's been too hot to do much around the house.

Floorplanny goodness:

AsRock · Jun 27, 2018

One of those like but no thanks for me, well if they get real popular it be a awesome way to aid a thief to rob your house.

Last time i checked you don't run around with a hoover \ vacuum

.

I have no faith in internet connected devices.

but you are posting to this forum on one lol. I only buy home automation from certain proven brands, no knockoffs or chinese no-name brands.

Which is why it gets turned off all the time, Well i guess not being a Chinese knock off it should not be burning the house down at least, although it still be made in China.

I know ublock don't like the tracking their site does apparently.

Anyways i hope you both are enjoying it, it's the main thing right

, i do hope you got it on sale which is currently running.

remixedcat · Jun 27, 2018

Yeah got it on sale.

Had to make sure it was a good one for allergies since whenever I vacuum my throat closes up, my face is a wet runny mess, and my eyes sting like acid and lava hit em. Fuck that shit! lol. I have it scheduled to do it when my hubby's home so he can mess with the brush cleaning and emptying the bin. he doesn't mind so...

FireFox · Jun 28, 2018

Bought it a few minutes ago.

Athlonite · Jun 29, 2018

Are you going to trade it in for a Threadripper

FireFox · Jun 29, 2018

I would never do something like that, the seller asked me the same thing and he was lucky i wasn't in the mood to punch someone in the face. :laugh:

xkm1948 · Jun 29, 2018

i think i have 2 or more of my nephews destroyed Xboxone controlers in various states of damage that i cant bring myself to throw out....i feel like there might be a time when parts from one of them may come in handy in the future. It did work that way once, when i harvested a joystick for a newer working controller from an older broken one.

Disparia · Jul 1, 2018

Not really tech... but $7 is nice, even beats off-brand Amazon belts by quite a bit.

A little more tech related...

remixedcat · Jul 4, 2018
