What did you buy today? (Part 2)




Nothing much, just a new fan hub for my case since the non-RGB version of the 216 didn’t came with a fan hub for apparently it only applies to the ARGB versions. Also some new replacement parts for my DT880 Pro, for the stock pads and earpads were worn out now, also no these aren’t the official replacement parts from Beyerdynamic for imo, they are too expensive. Also these parts are not so bad for the price.

This may sound odd to some of you, especially to those who have been building a lot of PCs, this is actually my first time getting an Arctic P12 Value Pack set for my 216. I must say despite it being a budget case fan, color me impress for the thermals I get from it are much improved than ever, also the fan is quiet which has exceeded my expectations for I wasn’t expecting it to be that case.

Not a fan of the RGB lighting show builds lately, therefore have to settle with this. Also Noctua is too damn expensive for me to even consider, unless money is very damn easy to obtain, especially today.

noctua industrials go on decent sale once in a while but damn they’re loud even at 20% speed

I guess these fans are indeed a value pack, hearing you say that is so assuring.

Figured it was time to compare them to my current Koss favs, the KPH40. :headphones:

Yeah this purchase I have made back then, it’s a fucking stupid move for the SSD was an overall dud and a scam from the seller that told me that they do sell authentic SSDs. Never ever purchase something if the price you’re seeing is too good to be true.

finally bought some new jeans. But while waiting for delivery and worried about how they will fit).

TRENDnet 8 Port 2.5g switch, also redid my most of my apartment’s networking (new cables, cable channels and management and proper labeling :smiley: )

Supposed to be a really nice set. Let us know what you think after you’ve had some time with it.

Finally got my replacement board yesterday though I am just gonna be honest about this one. This is my first time owning an Aorus board I am not sure how they will perform to my overall rig, for I will be missing my broken MSI MPG Gaming Plus. Also there are downsides and I didn’t looked into it carefully, such as failing to acknowledge that this one doesn’t have a debug LED, and of course hearing the stories of Gigabyte’s RGB software are just overall trash.

I think I should have settled with the MAG Tomahawk instead but the job is already done, can’t go back now might as well find ways to use this board for the best if I want an overall working rig again.

I am sure after a few firmware updates it will be stable and treat you well. My experience with building is MSI>ASUS>ASROCK>GIGABYTE as for as mainboards go. For value, hard to beat ASROCK imho.

Well, I will rebuild my PC later and I hope my 5800X3D is already compatible with this. It’s revision 1.5 as well so I hope that is the case. If not, might try their Q-Flash just to be sure.

Did not know the ‘date’ means something for the HC fans so they are pretty new.
01/2024 and 2 weeks from order so from the factory pretty much.

I already had the Xduoo TA 26. What I recently added was the Xduoo MT 603 & this is it’s 2nd day hooked up in the chain with the TA 26.

I have another TA 26 still in the box. At some point I will set it up to do direct comparison, because I’m thinking the MT 603 is adding some scale to the sound, some extra goodness, but I need to do the side by side to make sure.

On another note, I bought a new pair of Sony CD900ST yesterday on a whim, rather than spending way big on something used, like Hifiman HE6SE V4, or Polk LSiM 703 that I want so bad.
