No desk/mouse pad Cub?

No desk/mouse pad Cub?

There was supposed to be a Corsair one included in my “bundle”. But that and the 3XS cable ties and branded mug didn’t turn up….a bit annoying given I’ve just splurged the amount I did…

Rang them this morning. All apologetic and it’s being mailed out today.

So I’ll be on controller until it arrives…

@cs_rich you have made my spine shiver today

As a northerner I know you have to watch out for bottom intake fans dragging in coal dust, whippet hair and beef dripping, but I still don't know what the big deal is?

EDIT: and I still haven't forgiven you for the Clonezilla fiasco anyway

You guys have fans and vents on the bottom? 🙄

 

[Jonnio]

I bought a floating shelf and screwed some fixed wheels onto the bottom of it for mine to sit on.

Cubs massive crate looks cooler!

 

[Krarl]

I think my case has 8 fans including the CPU cooler and graphics card

Whippets have naturally really short hair and dont malt that much @cs_rich. Its the fibres from my f**king flat cap I have to be careful of!!

Also, you suck at cloning filesystems, not my fault you're a shaved ape😘

EFA. There might not be much left on top but I'm clinging to it.

My case has an intake on the bottom, I think I cleaned it once.

It's the fooking great 230mm one on the front that sucks all the dust in, it works but boy does it hoover the house for me.

 

[N0ddie]

So @Cub. is the 1st/only 3090 baller in here is that correct?

@SharkyUK has one. I'm pretty sure someone else has/had one too.

 

[Ray Gin]

@KermitTheDog got a 3090 FE beginning of the year iirc

 

[N0ddie]

My 3070 was okay on a 650w.

 

[Willo40]

Oohh sound, i think he is looking at a 3080, currently has b550f gaming and Ryzen 7 5800x.

 

[Krarl]

Well.... I have 2 🙃

2 fans!!!


Is it hanging out of the window or did you buy a w**k pre-built?!

 

[boultonn]

I didn't say how big the fans were....

But yeah, pre-built and being first gaming PC I was not fully apprised of the requisite fan count.

Runs well though... fewer fans to get dust stuck in yo

 

[Jonnio]

Had a Google "NVIDIA recommends at least a 750W PSU for the RTX 3080" but seems to be people saying up to 850W would be best.

Needs more RGB

 

[N0ddie]

The rainbow beast lurks within 🤣

 

[Krarl]

Too much brass you

I need to stop wasting my hard earned cash on s**t Renaults ffs

 

[charltjr]

Any interest in a gaming PC before I break it for parts? I’ve always gamed on PC, so just under a year ago when my last one was getting old in the tooth I went the whole hog on new stuff, upgrades, water cooled it, case swapped it, and now it’s been finished for a couple of months I’m just not using it.

I’m not in to RGB and I like quiet running machines, so I’ve got a Fractal Design Define S case, Core i7 10700K with AIO watercooler (fan swapped for a Noctua), 32Gb Hyper-X Fury DDR4, 512Gb SSD boot drive, 2Tb SSD game/data/p**n drive, water cooled 3080 all done with EKWB parts including the actively cooled backplate. I know I should really break it but thought I’d mention it on here first.

SecretLabs chairs

Good or nah? @SharkyUK

SecretLabs chairs

Superb in my opinion. They are firm (as opposed to plush or squishy) but I can, and do, spend hours in mine mate. Zero issues whatsoever.

 

[Krarl]

Good to hear, I currently have a w**k Amazon one which is s**t but it was free

We have Herman Miller Celle's at work so I'm torn between one of those and a SecretLabs

looked at GT omega? Love mine really decent quality

 

[Krarl]

Nah not looked at them. I've looked at the 2 above and a few noblechairs

Not sure what to get anymore

 

[Ray Gin]

Shirley a herman miller is going to be leagues above a bucket seat style gaming chair for comfort?

 

[Krarl]

See this is the thing, I can sit in my Herman Miller at work for hours and not be uncomfortable

I spend an hour in the current gaming chair I have (which is cheap) and it feels like Ive been in a car crash

 

[sburrell93]

SecretLabs chairs

Good or nah? @SharkyUK

Echo @SharkyUK's comments. I spend almost every day in mines WFH and have no issues. They're definitely firm but comfortable

 

[Silent_Scone]

Been playing Days Gone, real good looking game.

 

[Rojer]

That last one is an unfortunate angle 🤣

 

[Cookie]

SecretLabs chairs

I love mine. Go for one with the more expensive fabric. Very comfortable

Also the box they come in and the way everything is laid out really surprised me given its just a chair. Was well impressed! I can spend 12-18 hours a day in my chair and had no comfort issues at all

 

[Silent_Scone]

I mean it was in photo mode so it's very much intentional
