  1. Suggestion: Post Tech News in the Forum Relevant Categories

    Yes, that is a good suggestion. There is also the issue of moving a large number of threads to their appropriate location, but I think these are very solvable problems... Should be fairly easy to do with some forum software/scripting.
  2. Suggestion: Post Tech News in the Forum Relevant Categories

    My suggestion is to get rid of the "Tech News" forum category, and instead post all tech news in its relevant category. (E.g. https://www.thefpsreview.com/2021/06/04/amd-fidelityfx-super-resolution-coming-to-xbox-series-xs/ would be posted to the Video Cards section...
  3. XFX SPEEDSTER MERC 319 BLACK RX 6700 XT Review

    Thanks for the review. Any idea if this would be a worthy upgrade to my current card, a Vega 56? (Assuming I could get it close to MSRP)
  4. Water Cooling component companies

    Thanks! I will check Koolance out... Is FrozenCPU.com still kicking? I see that it still *exists* but it also looks like it hasn't changed at ALL since about 2007.
  5. Lan All Night -- Dallas Lanparty

    I remember my first Quakecon, 2006, I had this awesome lan bag from Sunbeam (Pretty sure this is it: http://www.xoxide.com/sunbeam-lan-party-bag-black.html) which made carrying my PC bearable. Fortunately I had an LCD monitor at the time too. Now, I just use a luggage cart for both with works...
  6. Water Cooling component companies

    I'm seriously considering upgrading my PC and I think this time I would like to do a custom loop water cooling set up. This is something I've always wanted to do, but have never really had the funds to do so. Because I've never really had the funds to do so, I've never seriously researched the...
  7. Lan All Night -- Dallas Lanparty

    With Quakecon and Dreamhack both being cancelled this year, if you're like me, you could sure use a lan party! Lan All Night (https://lanallnight.com/) has thrown a couple of lan parties the past year (some of them 'social distance lan parties') and they've announced their next event for October...
  8. Sales of 8K TVs Expected to Reach $5 Billion in 2021

    8K Lol! Most broadcast cable is still 720P!!!! Wish the focus was on better panels than just more pixels.
  9. Home Security Reco?

    Anyone have a home security recommendation? Have gotten Facebook ads for SimpliSafe recently and seems like a reasonable monthly fee with the alacart option to choose exactly what you want. Wondering if anyone has any experience w/ SimpliSafe or would have some other recommendation? Thanks Snowy
  10. DAC or sound card recommendation?

    So, my headphones came in on Friday, and I had the chance to listen to some music and play some games over the weekend with my onboard audio. First impressions on the headphones: They seem very well balanced. Low, mid, high all seem very appropriate right out of the box. Additionally, when it...
  11. DAC or sound card recommendation?

    Thanks everyone for your replies. I decided to get the Schiit Fulla to pair with the Sennheiser headphones. I went with the Schiit due to its price, fairly favorable reviews, and its mic connection. I will update everyone on how I like it once it arrives.
  12. Apex Legends Gains 100,000 Concurrent Players on Steam in One Day

    I love Apex and am super happy it's now on Steam. First thing I did was uninstall Origin when it launched on Steam. I've found the game to have more depth than other Battle Royal games... I've already put a couple hundred hours into it and likely will put another couple hundred in before I lay...
  13. DAC or sound card recommendation?

    Hi all, Finally going to be replacing my headphones with some Sennheiser 599. Given the ohms of 50, I'm thinking a DAC might not be a bad idea. Any general recommendations? I think I would probably prefer an external DAC as it will make transferring my headset between my gaming PC and my laptop...
  14. PC Gaming Chair Recommendations

    I've been eyeing an XChair for some time now: https://www.xchair.com/
  15. Headphones recommendation

    I noticed they have pretty high ohms which (I think) means they require more power to drive them. Wouldn’t necessarily need to get their AMP versus a DAC I wouldn’t think?
  16. Headphones recommendation

    Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into them. Looks like there's a version that comes without an AMP for cheaper... I'm going to send back the X2HR... They definitely sound better for music than my current Samson SR850, but I'm a little underwhelmed with them for gaming. They are so open...
  17. Headphones recommendation

    What did you tweak and how did you do it? My X2HR came in yesterday and they sound great for music (better than my SR850, which were already pretty good), but for gaming I don't seem to get quite the accuracy as my SR850's. It seems as though maybe they're just a bit too heavy on bass.
  18. Headphones recommendation

    Thanks for the suggestion. That looks like a nice pair. Is there a good place to attach a mod mic to one of the cans? Also would you describe them as open/closed/semi-open?
  19. Headphones recommendation

    Hi! I purchased some Samson SR850 headphones probably almost 10 years ago now. They've been fantastic, but after so much use (and many drops) I'm starting to hear some crackling at "gaming" volume. Any recommendations for a replacement? I use modmic, so I'd like to stick with a really nice pair...
