Couple more videos I did about this system

nice i seen them power supplies in vid and checked the price and there insane

They just released 2 more PSU's in Computex 2019, 650w and 750w. A little bit less flashy but should be a lot cheaper.

 

[ninezerofive]

They look awesome and the rog cooler with the lcd but they would cost more than my cpu mobo and ram

Costs sure does add up. I am looking into buying new case and planning the custom loop parts and it's not cheap. I'll probably buy case sometime this year, and then do custom loop next year, and then add a new GPU the next year.

And this week on "ALL THE GEAR NO IDEA"

You alright there buddy ?

nice red colour scheme. Are those RAM modules really that bright? They looked even brighter on the youtube.

Mate you wouldn't believe. Have to dim them down, on full blast they hurt your eyes. If you have like darker tint side panel, they might be alright. But since I am using this test bench looking parody of the case I use them on like 20% brightness.

 

[ninezerofive]

I think he might be referring to the fact that you have the fans on your rad blasting the hot air back into the enclosure you just removed it from?

There's no enclosure bro, I keep it open like a test bench. Even if this cause few degree difference I don't mind.

A lot of the rog stuff I find tacky but tbf that case it very nice. What it look to build into. And how dose it feel is it worth the price.

I love it, amazing case ! With being tacky I have to agree although if you pick the right parts the coherence looks amazing . Currently I switched off the front panel.Now that I have to agree looks tacky. Simple ROG logo would suffice, but they have that Mayan inspired look with Republic of Games written on the bottom. Maybe in time I'll look into having it custom made after all it's just a tempered glass with laser etching, isn't?

With it being pricey I have to disagree. I mean it's pricey but not for what you get. There are many cases in the market more expensive than it but I wouldn't trade it for any of them.

The peel !

Arrived today.

So far satisfied with this “Gizmo”. I’ve got it hooked up to TV for now but will transfer to case in a few days. More pictures will follow.

 

[ninezerofive]

How much did that set you back

I had some gift vouchers, spent like 60 something on it.

 

[ninezerofive]

What doesn't do that the header on the motherboard cant?

Well it come with 3 RGB strips (2x30 cm and 1x60cm) I think those were the sizes, that you can use either to light up your case and sync with all other rgb stuff you have or run it separately attached to the back of your screen to give you Halo effect, sort of like Phillips Ambilight works.

Can check out this guys video for the reference, although his is too over the top.

For now I have it strapped to the back of my 49 inch TV and it's alright. Wanted to test it out for a few days. It's not bad. But for a 49 inch screen larger RGB strips with more lights would be beneficial.

 

[ninezerofive]

if you like that sort of thing i can see £60 been a bit of a deal

Frankly I think my OCD played a bigger role in this purchase than anything else.
You see, the Helios case has this stand that was purpose build for the Terminal (well you can fit the SSD there as well) and looking at it empty was driving me mad, haha.
The fact that I can now connect the front panel RGB to something is a plus, even though I don't have it on. The single 5v RGB connector on motherboard is occupied by Thor PSU and I had to get some kind of splitter anyway. Win/Win + come Christmas I can let it run wild with RGB puke haha.

 

[ninezerofive]

its a very nice build, over kill, but nice

Cheers mate.
I told myself years ago, that the next build I'll have is when they reach 5 GHz.
I guess be careful what you wish for haha.
This is how it looked 10 months ago. FX-6350, 2x4gb ddr3 and a 1060.

Finally got some free time to redo the wiring and take some pictures and videos. Here's few teasers.

 

[ninezerofive]

Looks minted mate.

It's a nice clean build.

Thanks guys, appreciate.

Made a video of the build, I just sort of threw it together. Don't judge too harshly it's not up for Academy Awards nomination

ROG STRIX Carry

So I’m not gonna do a video about it. But I’ve picked up a new mouse that I got for a promotional price that went on last weekend, 44 GBP. I’ve been looking for a proper mouse for my lounge for some time now but it had to tick all the boxes and to my surprise this one does just that.

Great Sensor: Check

Great Range: Double check (compared to my old wireless mouse)

Great switches: Check, check, check. Omrons, side button, mouse wheel - all great stuff.

Batteries ! : I’ve got a charger and bunch of chargeable batteries. Couldn’t care less about “charge through wire” it would drive me nuts.

The Grip : The mouse is small, so if you have large hands its probably not for you. But ergonomics are great and the grip on the sides is outstanding.

Bluetooth and 2.4 : It comes with 2 modes, while I will mainly use it Bluetooth mode to save battery, there’s also 2.4 mode that connects through the dongle to reduce the latency and increase the polling rate. While it may not compete with Glorious Model O, I am sure that you could present respectable scores with it.

The bad: The first one that arrived didn’t connect through the included dongle to 2.4 mode. So I ordered a replacement. This one works as it should.

P.S. I've sold my ROG Pugio, it might be ambidextrous but it's not comfortable. I much rather use/play with ROG Carry.
