Does PC gaming hardware always have to look like an LGBT flag or a Christmas tree? Is there one manufacturer that has that minimalistic aesthetic rather than putting baby-toy lights on everything?

You can change the lights fool or even turn them off shut the fuck up

I asked if there is Gaming hardware for adults, not how to take the batteries out. Same goes for mice. Is there a 200k+ DPI mouse that doesn't have the obnoxious "Super rad dope dank LEDs ZOMG take my 399.99 now pls" lights?

There's plenty, but why wouldn't you want blinking rgb on everything you own?

I just find it extremely annoying. Like in GTA online, you can always tell someone is 5 or 12 years old just by looking at their "cool" sports car that has a horrible green + red paint job with blue head lights and a spoiler taller than their boner for ponies.
Same with the "cool" rgb. Unless its is done ironically, in which case - wow, you're ironying on a different level right now.

I'm only like twelve layers deep and it makes sense to me.

You realize a lit up keyboard is practical right? So you can see at night in case you don't have everything memorized?

Yeah, I got one of those

But like, your screen is enough illumination no? Also this just goes to show that the keyboard was not designed for gaming cuz you can't even tell what you're pressing in the dark. Non-issue when using a controller or a mouse. The keyboard needs to be replaced with something.

if youre an adult you wouldnt give a heck and just get whatever, whos gonna care what keyboard youre using in your room besides you, if it has the features you want and its a reasonable price you should just get it anyway

and uhh 200000 dpi???

also if you dont want hardware with aggressive edgy design just buy regular keyboards and mice that doesnt say "gaming" on it because thats just marketing babble

just get a fucking desk lamp

but yeah, i really hate showy colorful setups that light up and shit, it's just obnoxious

unless you live in a room where it matches the decor, but you don't

and uhh 200000 dpi???

200k a typo? Highest DPI on any mouse I'm aware of is 12,000.

did both of you forget what hyperbole is at the same time or what

I don't even like the standby led on my tv, and I covered all the top lights on my mouse with electrical tape. The light on my cable box disturbs my sleep. How the fuck people enjoy NFS Underground  neon all over their shit legitimately escapes me.

and uhh 200000 dpi???

it implies he wants a high dpi mouse without "gamer" design

if the 200k was a hyperbole that is not how i would phrase it

reposting from bung

i borrowed 8gb of my sister's ram so i could actually see if this thing works, just to really see if i installed it wrong or if the pumps not working properly, etc

Spoiler

so the custom rgb stuff i made for it works, yeah great whatever blah blah blah

but the real star of the show is how well the AIO cools this thing

i played forza horizon 3 for about an hour so that it would sustain a load that would eventually reach the cooling capacity of the liquid, and wow, it smacked 20 degrees of this mf and stayed that way

99-100% load for an hour, and it would max out at around 50c

ofc this isnt the beefiest card, it's still just a 1060, but this thing runs near silent now, at 50c the fan speed percentage only goes at around 37%, and never really spins faster, because it doesnt need to at 50c, and since it doesnt really get warmer than 50c, it just stays put

this aio g12 setup is definitely overkill for the 1060, but it's worth it since ill be able to use this on other cards later on



its also silent as a whisper with these new double-ball bearing fans from arctic, designed for 24/7 continuous operation, and i love the shiny grey finish on them, these fans are really cheap too and very high quality

if you want to know what they sound like at max, theres no mechanical noise - it just sounds like the wind blowing through your windows, and i much prefer it over the humming of the previous fans

that said, they won't ever each max under my use cases, as ive said, at most the gpu will make the fan spin at 36%

I'll never get over how quiet my PC is compared to my last one. Just the faintest hum, whereas my old computer sounded like a jet taking off just from opening Firefox.

Yes, the 200k was a joke. For now at least. Do they make non-rgb or space-ship looking mice n KBs for 'gaming'?

This

versus this Gaymeng mouse:

i dont know why you care for the word "gaming"

theyre just mice that look like sports cars, its a marketing buzzword

just get a "normal" looking mouse, itll do the same thing, asking if they make "gaming" mice that look like "normal" mice is just asking if they make normal mice

high dpi is bad for games anyway, and bad for your wrist since it localizes the movement and contributes to risk of RSI

I thought high DPI is good just like high FPS?
Is there like a DPI after which it doesn't benefit the user?

OT: How do you guys keep up with all the tech?
Like how would you know which motherboard is the best today?

How rare is it to have a motherboard that is not compatible with a component?

How do you know which power adapter (Power brick) to get?

very few people play well using high dpi, that is also a marketing buzzword, or number

high-level fps players prefer larger mousepads and lower dpis so they use their whole arm for large movements and use fingertips for precise aiming, if you play with high dpi, youll have less room to work with because any tiny movement will make it much easier to overshoot, but you have the option of both with low dpi. all it is, is essentially halving the precision of your mouse whenever you double the dpi

my mouse goes upto something stupid like 12k, even 1000 is not usable for me, im at 400dpi, but i still like the mouse because of the build quality and the sensor is actually pretty good. dpi is mostly preference but anything over 2000 is probably unusable for everyone, most people will probably be between 600-1200 dpi

and as for keeping up with the technology youre just interested in the tech so you follow the news around it, like if youre interested in a game or anything else really, you'll just look for it, you'll follow tech channels or tech news sites and read reviews, and you dont really feel it consume your time because if you like it enough it just becomes your hobby

it doesnt take much effort to keep up with it if its just what you do without thinking, and its what you enjoy doing

and most motherboards wont be compatible with most components, most people just make sure it's compatible before they build
