For the older systems I have around, I wanted a couple of easy hook-up PS2 keyboards. I don't always want to unpack my Model M.
(too lazy)
I bought the Dell Quietkey near new condition: also: Key TronicEO3601Q brand new:
not mechanical but nice and affordable

Nothing too exciting just a new PSP battery, fully charged it says I have 7.5hours of battery life at the menu, almost double what the original Sony 2200mAh holds after years of abuse. Click to enlarge.

Everybody hates the Radeon RX 6500 XT, so I had to buy one. :D I went for the Asus TUF version. The 4 GB VRAM is a bit meh, but the silence with the Q BIOS is something from another world! :rolleyes: Only my Palit KalmX 1050 Ti is quieter than this, though that can hardly game nowadays. Fun fact: I downgraded from an EVGA 2070 Black because it was too noisy for my taste. Now I'm happy, we'll see for how long.
So how often do you downgrade ? :D

New phone!

Oh yeah look at it.

View attachment 249434

Not a scratch anywhere! Sadly the battery is slightly swollen.

View attachment 249435

Slightly.

View attachment 249436

Which is quite sad. Finding a new battery looks to be next to impossible. But the connectors are fairly standard. Had I a 3D printer I could print a new back and use some 18650 cells or something. We'll see if it's solvable.
May I ask why ? :D

I bought something (or a few things...) that have no bearing on technology.

View attachment 250095

or you could say that bearings is the technology. I just have to make sure i dont lose them, otherwise it might be a problem. :roll:

I better quit rolling with these puns before i get an infraction.
What are the expected FPS gains with these ?

Last night's local Craigslist score: A mint XFX Speedster Merc 319 RX 6800 XT for $625. I registered it with XFX when I got home, have the full warranty starting today. The thing is huge! My latest Z690/12600K build is making huge progress. It's up and running in a temporary configuration.

That's a really great deal on the 6800 XT! Congrats!

Back to regular FLAT I see :D

So a curved one isn't all that.
Curved is good for a single user, and it makes the monitors take up less space horizontally

If you're sharing a screen (like with a TV), flat for sure or maybe a very small curve (which i can imagine happening more in the future)

Imagine wall mounting a 65" screen with an aggressive curve, it'd look like a plant reaching out to eat children

Still have both but I intend to sell the G9 as it's a bit too big. I want more space on the desk. Also 4K rez is much crispier, I bought another two so maybe I will have a set up with 2 G7 4K's :D

Hey, that ain't too bad. Around 6PM I have to endure ~5-20 mbps gore. Sometimes literally no internet at all. As long as those speeds are stable over day, I would say they are decent.
True. It's just a bit disappointing when my parents in Hungary have 10x the speed for half the price.

G1.Assassin 2, 3930K, etc. I don't really need another dust collecting PC, but i can't allow this falling into wrong hands. :)
Sorry for the bad photo quality, I'll post much better ones when i complete the build (need PSU, GPU, RAM, SSD).
Apparently, from all the stuff i mentioned, only the CPU, NH-D14 and case are fully functional. :D Mobo has one faulty RAM channel/slot, the one on the outer right side. It,s not the dirt, already cleaned it mechanically and with contact spray, the traces and pins are okay, haven't made voltage measurements (got annoyed af already). I'll just take it to the electronic repair shop someday.
The other annoying thing about the motherboard is the latest BIOS revision F12w, no OC capabilities whatsoever, and it won't let me flash any older revision. There was some Russian tool for BIOS hijacking, i have it, but people say it's a gamble. I'll give it a try one day when i get bored. The HDD is at 7% health and falling, basically a paperweight.
Also noticed that the CPU IHS is bent, the center popped up a bit. IDK is this normal for those Sandy Bridge-E furnaces, but i can just lap it until flat. 3930k are cheap anyway, but the X79 motherboards are rare and still pricey.
Well, I hope I'll have more luck with old tech fishing next time. :)

I would have gone for this one;
or
Down-firing airflow cools the components around the socket as well as the CPU, which is important.

I would have gone for this one;
or
Down-firing airflow cools the components around the socket as well as the CPU, which is important.
I would agree, just not from Ali Express. There are some decent ones from reputable stores too. My be quiet! Shadow Rock LP is totally silent, cheap, and can run my 11700 at a 120-125 W power limit. It looks quite good too, imo.

The custom res is in "detailed resolutions" in the bottom panel with a 60Hz and 80Hz option. You can modify those as needed if your particular screen cant handle it.

I've since modified that to include a 72Hz option, so now i'm dual 4K 72Hz'ing with some very mismatched screens in specs, that now match nicely
That is really nice. If you have Windows 11 Auto HDR works nice on this panel too.

VA panels have gotten better over time - the 60Hz panels smeared a lot, any VA that can do above 120Hz will smear a *lot* less (to none at all, on the samsungs using it)
With overdrive on balanced i have to try really really hard to make it happen, it's like a faint ghost trail before or after the text (with it on any other setting, it's pretty visible)

5ms maths out to around 125Hz, so what's happening there with these 144hz and 165hz displays is that *some* colours refresh at the full 165hz, while some are slower at the ~125hz mark. What helps there is an FPS Limit in games - your specs are as nuts as mine, so an FPS limit at 120 will save power, heat, and possibly reduce latency something fierce

(163FPS was around 4ms in dying light according to GFE's overlay, while 165FPS was around 16ms. Hitting Vsync really can make things laggy in certain game engines)
Don't use Vsync with this monitor. Freesync is much nicer

My Seagate Barracuda died after 12 years, so I decided to spend a bit extra on a nice SSD

Do you know what you ended up with, since they did that part swapping scandal? They started as 64 later TLC but ended up as 96 layer QLC

Looks like its 360TBW for the 1TB, but i cant find out if thats for the QLC or TLC version since crucial just say 'hours' of lifespan (without clarifying if those are hours at idle, read, write...)

Got this but friend says it got sent to wrong person and not him for my system

I'd be pretty suspicious of a friend claiming that, far too easy to just keep it and rip you off without you knowing
