It was small bottles at the dollarama. 5-600ml. I usually just make ice tea at home for literally cents. Boil a pot water (then turn off), throw in 4-5 tea bags of your choosing, steep for a while, tea bags out, whatever you want to add goes in, and then into the fridge...doesn’t get much easier. I usually add something to sweeten it a bit, and some lemon juice.

Love ice tea in the summer.

I have to RMA my set of Ballistix.

Damn sorry to hear if you want some help with the rma we are happy to help

@Bond007 said in HyperX Cloud Mic Test, Alpha/Revolver S/Mix:

Thanks for the comparison. Not sure if it was just me or not, but from the video I found the Revolver was my least favorite mic. Do you find much sound quality difference (speakers) between the revolver and alpha?

This is the oddest thing I noticed this as well on a highend headset I find the revolver sounds best then mix.

On my BT headset the mix is best then revolver then alpha

it is a very tough part of reviewing headsets as I need to listen to the videos over and over and over with different speakers and headsets.

Looks pretty nice. If they were to get a mini version (mATX) of this case made I think that would be my first choice for a new case.

If you want you are more than welcome to post the review here. heck we will even host it for ya in the future. just drop soulessone21 a line and we will set you up as a guest reviewer 

@Midget:

Hi! This is mbdoom, the recipient of this amazing computer, I would really like to thank Soullessone21 for putting in the time and effort into making this machine so that I can connect with friends who are scattered across the country as a result of the Fort McMurray fire.
This means so much to me, at home I used to play on Steam with my friends regularly and this is something I thought would be lost due to the fire. I never thought I would have a chance to play on the PC again until I was able to save up to buy a new system (My dad made me buy and build my first PC, except for the Power Supply and Video card, he said this was so that if I got grounded he could just take away his power supply) or when we finally get to go back home hoping my PC survived the fire.
My friends were able to make it out of the city with their gaming laptops so they have already been able to start playing games again and it is great that because of you I am able to join them. I did ask my Mom to rescue my computer but she felt that my sister was more important, and though I agree I think she could have had my sister carry the computer.
So again thank you to Soullessone21, photographic_mammory, and everyone else who has helped build this computer or just provided support to Fort Mac evacuees in general, every little thing helps.
mbdoom

how was the weekend with the rig did it work well for you or was it not enough power for your intended use and is the headset comfortable at all?

@oktober:

I'm brand new here so please take it all with a grain of salt as i may just be feeling my way around yet but at first glance it's a lot to take in.

So many different subforms and sub topics it's a lot to look at at first glance and can be a bit intimidating.

As for a solution to make it a little better.

I'd have to think a little bit more before i can give a concrete answer but def. slimming stuff down a bit and maybe merging some topics and such.

Let me have a good look at the site today I'm sure we can clean it all up

Thanks for the insight

Sounds good!

Wow I am impressed! That was the answer I was looking for! Thanks guys!

Great laptop there lots of ssd and ram upgrade options and a 1050 ti is nothing to complain about at all. Mobile gaming and editing power right there.

Hope it treats you very well

Honestly cannot put this headset into words for the price and features just Wow!

Unfortunately I can't, will just have to wait and see eventually or eventually forget about it.

IF you checked out my out thread I've been able to get it to work, had to fiddle around with several different things/function calls but it seems to work now.

Put a bit of time into the laptop. Update is:

CPU - had to back off to -137mv

GPU - After some errors and googling I got the OC scanner working for my laptop. I then fine tuned the curve to limit the max voltage to 0.943v, where the GPU can get 1885mhz core. At that voltage it is a +217mhz OC, but compared to the stock curve it is a roughly +40mhz OC, but at a much lower voltage (power, voltage and thermal throttling are not even close to a factor now). Left the memory at +100mhz (200 effective)...haven't played with it any more from there.

@Arinoth said in Some Advice to Those New to PCMR and the Workforce:

I think it depends on the situation too. Here at work they were clearing out (selling to us) some older work laptops and a manager I knew asked me a bit of advice and I gave it to him, prefacing that I didn't know if it would work but was worth a shot. I guess because it worked I didn't have to deal with a situation like this.

that is true, this is more of the "recommend a new system, then build it, set it up and you are now 24/7 support"

Thanks for the info. What payment speed do you typically use? I will check out newegg as well...I am thinking I may go for a new monitor with my bit of btc. We will see.

Anyone else use copay/coincards together? Seems good to just have gift cards. I didn’t realise newegg was still taking payment in btc though.

Unfortunately, cryptocurrency mining is not supported by VisionTek warranty services. VisionTek does not support or advertise the usage of our products for cryptocurrency mining. Cryptocurrency mining is considered a misuse of the product due to the overtaxing of the graphics cards life cycle.

This ^ is what I got from Visiontek trying to rma an R9 280 3GB for dead hdmi and locking up / freezing screen on nicehash or Furmark and the odd game.

It's more of an info post than a help me, I've already conceded that I lost.

Thanks for sharing send me the info anyways next month I can give it a shot in the middle of moving so right now little time I have

specs?

Was having too much fun streaming last night

Twitch Video

I am horrible at BlackOps so it was nice to get a play of the game

PS; Now streaming on the RHR channel pretty much every second night.

Can announce on here if people want a hour before streams go live.

added FO76 group again please tell me when you join

GC is switching from a town to a hamlet, but things keep going.

Delayed response but I have to say, at least running it on wireless I am not impressed with kodi on my Raspberry Pi 2. The only way I've been able to get it to 'work' is having to setup a mysql library with my server in order for it to not have to take several weeks to scrap all the data from my server into it.

Even then, it seems like the mysql disconnects periodically, causing me to have to restart the pi. I haven't gotten around to writing a script so that it reconnects if disconnected. Yes I know people say I could have my server stream all the content, but the point is for it to decode on the fly, not have to worry about streaming buffering crap.

Will post at least some photos I took with the camera haha

@LPfan4ever said in General Rants Section:

More vehicle related rants, and a PSA on a company to never deal with. Ordered a custom downpipe from a company called HottExhaust. They're Canadian and are one of those sites that either have glowing reviews or complete shit reviews. Sadly, I am in the complete-shit camp.

Ordered Dec 21, not a single thing was done with my order. Emailed em mid January and got no reply. Phoned about two weeks ago and the guy says my part is getting made that weekend and will ship out Monday. Another week rolls by and...nothing. Phoned last Friday for a refund and got it approved without question, hopefully seeing the money back this week. Obviously these guys didn't touch my order if they gave me a refund that quickly and without a fight. Nearly two months with zero contact is ridiculous.

Sorry to hear about all that and I do fully understand your pain being it is something you are passionate about.

Still waiting on a camera I ordered over 6 months back and getting the run around too. Getting tempted to go over to a Sony 4k video camera instead for the near instant focus.

Still undecided though, Also heat is out at the front building of my work in -27 weather this is not a good thing. Fear the pipes in the ceiling

There are more than 7 billion people on the planet, after all. Surely there are enough users to go around!

Damn if only it was not itx I have a few full sized h170 z270 boards haha

Rainbow 6 siege is only $12.49 not a bad deal at all.
if for some reason you do not have a copy of Borderlands 2 it is only $5.49

Also "GET MY VISA!!!" Dragon Ball Fighter Z is on sale

Yea that's what I figured , but wanted to make sure. Thanks

I decided that the 27" was just not working for me, plus the 1070 is already struggling with just the 3440x1440 resolution, so I pulled it and my monitor arm.

I wouldn't touch OVH, personal experience.

You have Amazon AWS, Google and DigitalOcean which are the big boys.

Depending on your needs, I could host your server. PM me for more details.

Well posted this the other day but our site admin thought he would erase 24 hours haha.

First the plan behind this build was to take a lot of guidance from reviewers I respect and use their advice for parts that I did not have yet. Also needed to upgrade as my GPU and CPU are overheating due to bad cooling on the GPU and a failing aio on the CPU.

When I run Adobe premiere even 1080p 60fps I get jitter and maxed CPU plus throttling GPU. So it's time to change things up. First the CPU and motherboard are being swapped for a 6950x and a taichi x99 board. The CPU will be cooled by a 420mm aio that I will finally have a case it will fit in to review it as well.
The GPU is getting a nzxt aio adapter and a kraken 240 to cool it, also a custom backplate.

Still just using 32gb ram for now.
Hdd is nvme in raid 0 using 1tb p1 crucial drives as well as a mix and match of ssds and hdds to fit about another 24tb of storage in here.
GPU is a msi armor 1080 ti, gamernexus covers the issues with this card that custom cooling hopes to solve.
Also reusing my elgato capture pro and a elgato usb for some fun testing.

Now to show off the parts.

Already lapped the CPU and got custom sleeping to. Really looking forward to this build. Will keep you all posted as I go

I would highly doubt this is something that would be easily repaired at home sadly.

@Arinoth Yah I do not like keyboard trays anymore stopped using them years back.

but to each their own and comfort is key

Better gpu then I have to

Carbide spec-alpha.

Memx has on clearance for $45 Cuz they said it was missing the hdd mounts and screws. But they were stuck under the front and top plates hahahhaha
It was new so their loss my gain

Crepes that is all haha

So whats your take on the wismec reuleaux rx200 vs sigelei 213?

I know the rx200 is three 18650s and the sig is two… but that to me doesnt matter.

Go with the more mature model or go for the new and shiny?

@Mightyunit said in Awesome beer:

I have this every Friday. Fantastic

Nice thanks for sharing. I am at a microbrew tasting this coming up weekend I'll post lots
