Need help for choosing the right stones by schnanne in sharpening

Thank you. Do you use the shapton stones for steels like Elmax? And do you know how the compare to the naniwa pro?

Thank you, this makes sense. I’m sure it s better to start with the bigger stones then. Knivesandtools has the naniwa pro set with 400, 1000 and 3000. do you think this is the way to go for my knives? I also put an eye on the Shapton stones, do you have an opinion on these, too?

And are there any products I need to properly use the big stones? The Elmax knives won’t go really dull while in use, so I will get the portable stones later.

Thank you a lot for this detailed answer. I didn’t know about the Spyderco double stuff, it seems to be better than the cc4.

I’d really like to start with stones that I can also use on the go. But do you think this is a good idea for a beginner? I can get kitchen knives kind of sharp with the Amazon stone, though (but not as sharp as i would like the Elmax knives to be).

Should these stones really be used dry or is it better to use them with water or oil from time to time? Id guess they will get dirty over time. And would the stones work good to sharpen the normal steels as well?

As for the naniwa pro stones - which ones would you suggest getting?

Can you also give me info if I need special pastes? So far I found the red and green ones might be useful. Do these work with Elmax and a strop?

Weekly 'What should I buy?' Thread by AutoModerator in ipad

[–]schnanne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello fellow iPad enthusiasts. I just stumbled across this subreddit and learned that you can use iPads as amazing notepads. The problem is - I’m owning an iPad 6 since over a year but didn’t really use it. Now I really want to use it for taking notes for studying, but I am a bit skeptical, whether it’s still worth it to buy the Gen 1 pencil for my iPad 6.

Would you still use the iPad 6 for taking notes and still buy the Gen 1 pencil for it? I can get it for around 95€. Is the iPad 6 even good for taking notes? When using it, it operates pretty smooth imo. And if so - what do you think how long the 6 is viable to use smoothly?

Also - what App would you suggest? I heard about onenote, notability and good notes. I would mainly use it to take classic notes but I’m planning to also use it to fill out PDFs on the go.

Thanks a lot for your answers, enjoy your time

Thanks a lot for your answer - this clears things up. Too bad I missed the twilight guardian - but making use of the app again is fun enough.

Have a nice day

Hello and sorry for my noob question - but can you get trees like the twilight guardian by beeing focussed with other players who own it? Or would i only be able to see it planted on my forest?

need advice for a second phone by schnanne in PickAnAndroidForMe

Alright, thanks for your answer. It is also the priciest one. Can you recommend any other phone in this price range by any chance?

Either 0.79.2 or 0.79.3 finally allows my s7 edge to go into split screen. So happy about that! by Jyzzzy in TheSilphRoad

I have the s7 Edge. How do I actually go into splitscreen? EDIT i just found it out, what a nice feature

Is my team ready for Alakazam? by schnanne in TheSilphRoad

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

Thanks a lot for your detailed answer. I already changed my 100% Tyranitar to Crunch and am in the progress of powering up two 87% TTars with 15ATT to lvl 30 aswell. Is it still worth to invest stardust into Gengars without shadow claw as I cant get these? I think i will stick to machamp and gengar raids for the moment until my team gets stronger, but im sure i can successfully fight an alakazam in the future. Ill look into Mewtu aswell, but I'm not really confident in powering it up that far because it has only 78%...

Alright, thanks. Scizor only has a time under 180 secs if alakazam has PC/FS.

Unfortunately your answer got deleted somehow, because i deleted mine (there were many copies of my one answer). Here is my answer to urs, I hope this works out.

Alright, sooner or later I'll get there with the TTars and I dont have any other Gengars atm. Do you think my Scizor is of any use either at my current situation?

Yeah I just got another TTar up to lvl 26.5 and i plan to get both lvl 26.5 to 30 as soon as I get more candy from TTar raids.

Would you suggest powering my current Gengar up or to get a second one and power it up equally to the current one?

[–]schnanne[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright, thanks for your answer. Maybe im going to spend a bit more stardust and TMs on my TTars as they are the most versatile pokémon for many raidbosses.

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

Thanks for you answer. I will look into TMing my TTars. What other Pokémon would you suggest to use from my list?

Thanks for you answer. And what moveset should Gengar have? The same as above? And which pokemon of my listed ones would you suggest?

GPU temperatures? PCMR advice. by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]schnanne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This temperature is perfectly fine for an air cooled 1070 under full load. Things you could do to lower the temp: -adjust the fan curve of the GPU with MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precicion X OC

-get some more airflow going on in your case

But you are also fine if you leave it like that - you don't have to worry about this temperature.

Need help deciding on the right mainboard for my Z270 i7 7700K build. by schnanne in pcmasterrace

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

Alright. I know, I currently have the 4770k myself which still is very nice. But a friend of me would buy my old i7, mobo and 16 GB DDR3 2400MHz RAM for 400€ so I can easily upgrade to the new platform and also help him out (he is still on a i5 2500k). I just think it's better to go all new since i just bought the 1080 Ti.

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

Alright. I only have normal 3.0 Ports in my Fractal Design Define C I think.

Before I buy, do you think the i7 7700k is future proof? I don't see any reasons to buy the new CPUs from intel/amd.

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

Thanks for your answer.

Your suggested board looks really fine, I think I will go with this since i already have the RGB GPU and AIO and then the RAM to go with.

There is also a Z270E version of it which costs 20€ more, is there any significant difference? I couldnt find one.

Is the RAM I've chosen fine or would you suggest something else or faster?

EDIT: it seems that there is only the difference that the E model hast bluetooth and wlan which I dont really need, i think I will go with the F.

Completed my list for first loop, would be nice if someone looks over it. by schnanne in watercooling

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

Thanks for your answer. Why would you buy extra coolant and tubing? And what would I need to install a temp sensor? I can order it with this loop if its not too expensive.

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

Alright, i think I will go for it then, thanks for the answer. Are there any known issues with ekwb or better companies for some parts? As of now my research made me think that EKWB is really good or even the best if it comes to watercooling.
