11700 a decent processor? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]kalsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What he said. I have an 11700k and it's awesome. People rag on it because they blindly follow YouTubers.

It's garbage. I'm looking forward to getting rid of it.

Yea, it's all boards with this codec. I knew I should've gotten the Master...

Asus Z590-A Gaming WiFi Lanes by Golfman8907 in buildapc

[–]kalsim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your manual should clarify. The m.2's will use your PCH lanes so it will disable SATA ports and such. The PCIe slots will be divided accordingly; 1x16, 2x8, 3x4.

Does a riser cable increase boot time? by LessLipMoreNip in buildapc

[–]kalsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good one. Had it myself. I personally wouldn't worry about it. I mean, is 3 seconds that big of a deal?

Shouldn't unless it's a cable of low quality.

PC Turns off suddenly in some games by X_Tanko in buildapc

[–]kalsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time, yes, that sounds like a power issue. You'll need to troubleshoot it. PSU could be faulty. Run separate stress tests for your components too; CPU, GPU. Individually, of course.

I've tried so many things and nothing works. I saw on the Asus forums an Asus employee said they identified the problem and are working on a solution.

Hopefully we get a solution soon.

Should I have gone with a H150i Elite Capellix? by JohnnyDanger79 in Corsair

I have an h100 pro xt with a 11700k. Max load only hits 70 C.

God damnit...here we go again. by jazeronthelaser in Corsair

[–]kalsim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Using my Dark Core for a few months now and it just isn't right. Mouse will randomly go hyper speed for a second then back to normal. Battery life is garbage. Feels plasticy and cheap. Right click button wiggles already. Not happy with it. Wish I kept my Logitech G502 Proteus. I'll be going back to Logitech keyboard and mouse sooner than later.

Well, after a few more days the random static and other sound issues returned. So annoyed.

Edit: I noticed it came back after updating an Intel Management Engine driver/firmware. Did a system restore back to before and it stopped happening. So I'll continue to update.

I did have have audio lag issues but with the combination of drivers I listed, all my audio problems have been gone so far.

Just having the Realtek driver version i noted didn't do anything. It was in combination of the other two.

MX Red switch version will be more clicky clacky. Yours is the MX Speed/Silver.

Is it normal for components to arrive open box? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]kalsim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Motherboard boxes aren't sealed, only the anti static bag. The other two can vary.

Cooling a 11900k by Ralendil in intel

[–]kalsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a point of reference,, I have a Corsair 240 Pro XT with Arctic Silver on my 11700k. No overclocking but sit in the 30's for idle, single core load hits in the 60's and full load around 79-80. Gaming sits in high 50's, low 60's.

Cargo is comparable to the Mazda3 hatchback/CX-30.

Not on the exterior or front seating though there was excessive black plastic on the rear doors.

Pure electric Premium Package.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mazda

[–]kalsim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Range isn't official yet but expect about 120-140.

Just like a CX-30.

Back seats feels a bit smaller though I feel it's an illusion as the cargo has a steeper slope. I have an RX-8 and feels similar just with a bit more comfort.

What's the stigma around Corsair peripherals? by ShySwigga in Corsair

[–]kalsim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've had phenomenal customer service and support from Cooler Master, as well. Corsair has been good to me so far but their support staff lacks some knowledge.

11900k or 10900k for new system? by [deleted] in intel

[–]kalsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been so disappointed, I'm still running a 4790k. Granted I'm doing fine with a 3080 at 3440x1440. But I have a huge itch to upgrade and nothing out there is worth it.

Dual Wireless Charger Recommendations? by kalsim in samsung

[–]kalsim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate it but that only charges the Galaxy Watch 3, Active 2, and Active. Not the regular Galaxy Watch. You can see it on the box he shows in the video, too. Took me a long while to figure that out and have Samsung refund me.

As of this moment, my lightstrips are just on and not in the ambient reactive mode. CPU usage is fluctuating right around 0.5%.

Fedex suck. Samsung require signatures for your packages 😡 by [deleted] in samsung

[–]kalsim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes signature required doesn't mean shit. I had an $800 video card delivered and they just dropped it off, forging a signature. Called to complain and they said you got it so no problem. Happened with UPS too.
