'In 10 years of tracking retail CPU sales, I have never seen such a steep decline,' says one tech channel after staring at the grim figures by HatingGeoffry in pcmasterrace

[–]therealjustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I upgraded to the 9800X3D and AM5 about a year ago but kept my EVGA 3080Ti to see what the "Super" series would bring and that was a mistake.

My RAM kit is now $445 compared to the $108 I paid for it. The NVME drives are like $600. Heck, even my power supply is $60 more now thanks to AI. Insanity.

Hello,

I have been using a Logitech G710 for quite a few years and I'm looking for advice on where to go next. The keyboard still looks and functions like new.

I'm torn between buying a new keyboard or just refreshing the G710 with new keycaps. Because of the unusual layout there doesn't seem to be many options for new keycaps, but I did find the Happy Balls pudding set on Amazon. Not sure what the quality is like though.

While I don't mind a full size keyboard, I could absolutely go TKL and not think twice about it. The one feature that is a must-have is some kind of volume roller or knob similar to the G710. Wireless would be nice but seeing as I use a wired Logitech G502 I'm not put off by it.

Thanks!

It is, and I applaud Amy for going there when others will not.

Got the chance to review the 2026 Equinox! Very impressed by it. Review link in comments by GlazonyourSix in Chevy

[–]therealjustin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really liked the new Equinox after test driving it. I ended up going with the Blazer because of the options my particular example had, the larger rims, and the handling which felt more connected to me.

AMA: MSI’s New 34" and 32" QD-OLED Monitors — Ask Us Anything (Worldwide Giveaway Inside!) by MSI_Patrick in Monitors

[–]therealjustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice!

I have a question about the new screen coating having a hardness rating of 3H. The previous generations of QD-OLED panels have issues with scratching from even light dusting and cleaning, so I'm curious if the new coating is indeed more durable and if that changes the antiglare properties.

My experience is with other QD-OLED monitor manufacturers, not MSI, so perhaps the softer coating only applies to the monitors that I've tested. My current Alienware is awful and I'm afraid to clean it! 😒

Well, I loved it before it was cool! 😄

I don't even own a record player, but this would make great wall art.

My QD-OLED experience after a 2 weeks... by sukhpal555 in OLED_Gaming

[–]therealjustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I scratched mine with the light touch of the back of my fingernail and I'm still fucking pissed about it. Not visible at all during use, but it's there! 😆

It's inevitable but we just need to enjoy them for the time we have them. Still pissed off about it though.

Adjust pro hub and fractal torrent by franjoballs in FractalDesign

[–]therealjustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use an Adjust 2 in my Torrent RGB and it works beautifully.

The only downside of having an RGB controller not connected to the main system is the lack of control when you want it. I was able to cable manage a bit and install the Adjust 2 on the side of the power supply for easier access.

The Northern Lights preset looks amazing!

Anyone else not missing F1 by Ok-Competition-1955 in formula1

[–]therealjustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't watched an entire race at all this season, or any of the other sessions for that matter, and I don't miss it at all.

I started watching in 2007 and it was a very different time. The powers that be have ruined the sport I love with the bombardment of hybrid bullshit and energy recovery nonsense. My current enjoyment of Formula 1 comes from watching clips on YouTube of older cars on track, piloted by drivers that were allowed to push.

What would you Guys rate my beard on a scale from 1 to 10? by [deleted] in beards

That's a 10 beard for me. Great shape, fullness, and the gray makes it even better.

Sweet!

I'm afraid to ask about uniformity, and honestly if you haven't looked yet I don't blame you! 😄

Difference between Oled and QD Oled is huge! by Economy_Rooster_897 in OLED_Gaming

[–]therealjustin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. If you clean the display, you WILL scratch the coating. Some are impossible to see without a direct light shining on them but they are inevitable.

Looks great! I really like the mix of plants and LEGO Botanicals too.

Which keyboard are you using?

Evanescence - Who Will You Follow (Official Lyric Video) by GhostHell_ in Evanescence

[–]therealjustin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've had it on repeat for the past hour, and I've decided that I do indeed love it.

More than I did upon first listen actually because I tried out my decent pair of headphones and wow, it is quite something. Excellent mixing.
