Soldato
Oi oi. Not been around a lot because summer. So, I decided to change some things. I've had the same case at my desk now for about 4 years. In it resides a 12700kf and a 6800XT Strix LC. Absolutely nothing wrong with either of those. However, at some point (I don't recall exactly when, about a year ago?) I built a TV PC when the crazy pandemic prices crashed. TBH it is faster. Not in the CPU department, but it has a 6950XT. It also has a very high end board (Z590 Tachyon) a very high end case (Lian Li Odyssey X) and a better PSU and NVME drives (Thor and two faster NVME). It is also much better to look at IMO.
I was due a monitor change about two years ago. I have had my 32" curved Strix for the same length of time (over 4 years) but at some point around two years ago my eyesight got much worse and I could no longer focus on it the way I could before. The only way to see what I was doing in PUBG was to move it much closer to me, at which point it becomes too big. I much prefer the IPS 27" I have set up at my mother's house (Razer 144hz). The good thing in stalling it? 27" IPS are now cheap. I got this for £220.
It's nothing super duper. I will wait until OLED prices become more digestible tbh. It also gives me room for something I have not had on my desk since 2018... Speakers. This is how it currently sits.
The PC to the right is what I will be switching out. With this. Still changing some things around and added a 1tb Samsung SATA SSD I have never used.
It also has a sub ambient cooler. Like I said, I just find it much more attractive. One thing I do not find attractive any more is the Klevv RGB ram I bought. At some point Gigabyte app suite upgraded and broke. So I lost all control of the RGB and it looked horrible. I managed to change all of the LEDs using OpenRGB, but not the RAM. It just sits there farting rainbows and annoys me. So I got a 32gb kit of this.
Which should be here tomorrow. Other things. A pristine set of these in the box I used as rear surrounds for about a year.
An amp.
And some stands and cables.
It will be so nice not to have to wear headphones any time I sit at the PC. I already upgraded the keyboard. Epomaker, kiwi switches and clear caps. I only set that up last week it is brand new
