    Keyboards & Mice

    The fact you have to preemptively soldier in replacement switches for Logitech mice (which aren't cheap,) might be a sign you shouldn't be buying anything from them. Designed to fail.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Might have went a bit overkill on winters Old and new Integras are mostly upbranded Civics, which isn't a bad thing. Lot of compact cars, but especially Hondas, have been uglified by high headlights/bumper regs.

    Model 3 is switching to lithium-IRON batteries, which are particularly bad in cold weather. Don't expect more then half of their quoted range on the coldest NY mornings. Hope you don't mind turning off the heat / recharging while it's 0F outside to make it home, when the batteries start ageing.

    Wait till he finds out 18 wheelers have diesels. :smuggly: They don't have much in common at all with a gas v6. Ford's pushing out v8s from F150s for regulators and large capitol investors, not due to quality or consumer demand.

    The <2.0s number is a flat out lie, it gives the car a 1 ft head start as well as tire glue (which you'll only find on a drag-strip, and no licensed drag strip will allow sub 10s quarter mile cars with no roll cage.) People regurgitating manufacturer 0-60 numbers really should understand how...

    That Blizzard, in any meaningful sense, has been gone for years. Activision stalled on stomping out their culture out of fear of killing the goose. Can't think of companies doing anything much worse than that over the last decade? What is all this teeth gnashing, over allegedly hurt feelings...

    '21 for 28 + tax. Bonkers market for used manuals really pushes you to buy new. Doesn't help that used WRXs get abused, the CVTs suck, and STI's have headgasket problems on top of that. I'd expect a higher price + markup (yay Biden bux,) some teething issues if you wait for the new model...

    Wasn't Ibuypower the good one? Holy shit was that Dell bad though GPU allotments are helping this OEM shit spread again like on designated Indian streets. Though OEM + budget has always been a recipe for crap, you'd think some of the worst elements would have been sorted by now.

    1080 to 3080 doesn't just skyrocket power demands, it also explodes usage of cpu/etc via raw fps & driver requirements. That big an upgrade can expose weaknesses in a system. As we all know, if there's any weakness in your system, it needs to be disposed of ASAP! Also, unless you're a...

    G-skill Difference between RAM brands is mostly the heatsink, chips come from wherever is cheapest that day. On Newegg you can pay 100$ more for corsair, stare at out of stock for Oloy, or buy some Crucial and find out that they mostly make single rank with no way to know until after you get...

    10700k (11700k & 11900k) are mostly just 9900k s. If you're being smart and getting a R5/R7 5000 series, then yeah a monster cooler would be fairly pointless in gaming.

    No benefit to 4 sticks if they are dual rank, while most 8gb sticks are single rank ...MOST 16gb sticks are dual rank. if you're trying to get good ram atleast get 3600 cl16 regardless Right under the chipset it says 4x Sata 6GB/s ...guaranteed you don't need open pcie lanes for them. Did...

    The gen 3 nvme drive on a b550 via the chipset is in addition to a gen 4 nvme drive. Many budget x570s only support 1 gen 4 nvme drive anyways. If you're looking at the same price and thinking the higher end chipset is coming in without cuts elsewhere you're likely mistaken.
