I'm in the process of revamping / moving my setup to a different room and I've finally got around to installing the articulating arm I purchased a couple of months ago. Levitation achieved. Game changer m8s.
The arm is the AmazonBasics one, basically a 1:1 clone of the pricier Ergotron. No complaints, can be adjusted to be super smooth.

I'm really liking the Amazon Basics line a lot. If you don't need another brand's product for a specific feature or capability, they are almost always the best value while still being quality products.
e: also, that looks very nice. how are you avoiding wires? going through the wall?

I ordered a couple of meters of curved slim profile cable channels at a local hardware store (gonna use it elsewhere too). Like these.

I'm gonna put a couple of layers of white wall paint over it to match the wall's colour, the bump should be barely noticeable when it's done.

Maybe I should think about paying a professional to do the hole-in-wall drilling thing.

Maybe I should think about paying a professional to do the hole-in-wall drilling thing.I made sure to install baseboard that has enough space for running a cable (you could probably fit at least two) behind it. The type you simply cut to size and push down on those clips. Depending on what your baseboard looks like,one option would be adding another mini baseboard, like this.
Much less visually offensive cable channels. If you have drywall, cutting a hole and going behind it would probably be the easiest solution tho. You don't really need a professional for that job. :P
I do have drywall, but this is an old house/camp that had an add-on to it which the cable would have to cross. It wasn't really built to modern standards and didn't use many traditional standards according to the guy who replaced my roof a couple years ago. Although, I could just be ignorant as to how the wiring would be done. Which is also another reason I would want to pay someone with more experience to do it. lol
If they have to go through the attic, it's about 1m tall at the highest and about 6 inches tall where the walls the cable has to go through are.
e: I do like those channels that go along the bottom of the baseboards. That would be easily doable, i think. It would have to cross the main door into the house, but I could maybe live with there being a little ugly bump right there.

AMD just releasing their Radeon RX Vega family of graphics cards while NVIDIA has increased production with TSMC of their new 12nm Volta based GPU’s.
NVIDIA’s new Volta GPU’s will feature a 12nm process which both TSMC and NVIDIA have been ramping up together for a release of the new GPU’s in hopefully early 2018.
Just recently the CEO of of NVIDIA Jen-Hsun Huang was talking to investors about NVIDIA’s next-gen GPU and he replied saying the gamers shouldn’t be expecting Volta-based GPU GeForce card until end of 2017 or perhaps even early 2018.
“Volta for gaming, we haven’t announced anything. And all I can say is that our pipeline is filled with some exciting new toys for the gamers, and we have some really exciting new technology to offer them in the pipeline. But for the holiday season for the foreseeable future, I think Pascal is just unbeatable” – Jen-Hsun Huang
Intel announced IceLake
http://www.anandtech.com/show/11722/intel-reveals-ice-lake-core-architecture-10nm-plus
Soooooo pass on Coffeelake, which is going to require a new motherboard board anyway, and wait on IceLake which will surely run on a new mobo as it will be 10nm+.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/11722/intel-reveals-ice-lake-core-architecture-10nm-plus
In an unusual move for Intel, the chip giant has ever so slightly taken the wraps off of one of their future generation Core architectures. Basic information on the Ice Lake architecture has been published over on Intel's codename decoder, officially confirming for the first time the existence of the architecture and that it will be made on Intel's 10nm+ process.
This is an unexpected development as the company has yet to formally detail (let alone launch) the first 10nm Core architecture – Cannon Lake – and it's rare these days for Intel to talk more than a generation ahead in CPU architectures. Equally as interesting is the fact that Intel is calling Ice Lake the successor to their upcoming 8th generation Coffee Lake processors, which codename bingo aside, throws some confusion on where the 14nm Coffee Lake and 10nm Cannon Lake will eventually stand.
Working purely on lithographic nomenclature, Intel has three processes on 14nm: 14, 14+, and 14++. As shown to everyone at Intel’s Technology Manufacturing Day a couple of months ago, these will be followed by a trio of 10nm processes: 10nm, 10nm+ (10+), and 10++,
On the desktop, Core processors will go from 14 to 14+ to 14++, such that we move from Skylake to Kaby Lake to Coffee Lake. On the Laptop side, this goes from 14 to 14+ to 14++/10, such that we move from Skylake to Kaby Lake to Coffee Lake like the desktops, but also that at some time during the Coffee Lake generation, Cannon Lake will also be launched for laptops. The next node for both after this is 10+, which will be helmed by the Ice Lake architecture.
Soooooo pass on Coffeelake, which is going to require a new motherboard board anyway, and wait on IceLake which will surely run on a new mobo as it will be 10nm+.

Not to sound like an Intel fanboy, but i've actually never upgraded a CPU without also upgrading the motherboard also anyway.
Neither have I. But there is now competition for the first time in years. It seems weird to announce specifics about a CPU on a new platform, while you still haven't released Coffee Lake. If we know IceLake will be their next major change with the reduction in node size and possibly inclusion of PCIE 4.0, I'm not sure why anybody would buy Coffee Lake when youll be buying a dead platform as soon as you leave the store.
They might experience the Osborne effect for sure. But, if there really are cheap i3's with 8 threads running at nearly 4ghz on Canonlake, that might be reason enough to not consider it a waste.
Trying out the Dirac Live trial software for PC to see what kind of difference it makes for a PC sound system that uses a nice pair of bookshelf speakers but no subwoofer. I also wanted to see if it was a CPU hog that would lower my framerates like I was reading from some reviews.
First off, the change is not as big as when you are trying to integrate a sub into the setup. For the speakers I'm using (HiVi M200MKIII), the most noticeable change is clamping down on some frequencies in the low and low-mid ranges so that they don't overwhelm the rest of the sound. As a result, hard rock instrumentals (like from Animals as Leaders) sound more in-control and less harsh, and not in a way that is detrimental to the song. Those problematic frequencies now match the style that the normal mid- and high-range frequencies have.
I haven't gamed with it running, yet, but did notice a tad bit of latency. Unscientifically, like 20-30ms. I changed the Dirac software to be minimum latency focused instead of maximum performance and the delay went away with no change to the sound profile on a casual listen. I also do not see any notable increase in CPU usage, so that looks good.
I still have like 29 more days before the trial runs out and make my decision, but I'm not sure I would recommend the relatively large outlay of money required for the software and additional configuration mic to someone who isn't already significantly invested into the performance of their audio system.
I need to see if I can get someshitty average PC speakers and see what the software does for them. e: I've heard that their similar technology does wonders for the default iPod headphones.
e2: A "before" graph to show that I'm not completely full of shit when I said these are a nice pair of speakers and there was an issue with the lows and low-mids being a bit over-emphasized than the rest:
The orange line is the curve Dirac is going to try to equalize towards. I wish I could do an "after" graph, but their tool doesn't do that and it would be a pain in the ass to install and learn another tool and take more recordings to get that. But, from what I saw from people who did the same, Dirac does a great job of equalizing things out. Never a straight line, but everything within +/- 3 dB of the target curve.

Not as big a deal for people already looking at i7s, though. Wonder if this was brought about by the competition from Ryzen and, if so, I hope AMD keeps up the pressure.

By Smokey Go To PostKibner I tried with 1080p. I can't ;_;.too bad so sad
Back to 2560x1600 I go. Everything right
Dammit. I've spent less than a week with the Dirac software installed on my PC and it's hard to go back to listening to music on my speakers without it. The low end just sounds uncontrollable without it working.
It's not just placebo effect because I go back and forth turning it on and off, sometimes at random and I am able to easily identify when it is on or not because of the difference it makes in that frequency range.
However, I do have some driver compatibility issues with it due to my sound card. First, it only works with the ASIO drivers on my card. This means that I can't use windows to control my sound levels at all. I either have to do it within each app (which I won't because I also use my headphones a lot out of the same sound card) or physically turn the volume knob on my speakers down, which is just an annoyance when I could use keyboard hotkeys instead.
There is also an issue where, sometimes, when first playing from a new audio source, it sounds crackly and staticy for a couple seconds. Minor, to be sure, but still annoying.
There is a new version coming out at the end of this year, though, and the tech I worked with to get everything working said I could reference my ticket to get a new free trial when it comes out, in case they won't reset my trial status automatically with its release. If that new version fixes some of my complaints, I'm definitely gonna buy it. If it doesn't... I may still buy it and just deal with it.

so are there any decent or even good surround sound headsets? preferably one that works with Dolby Live or DTS Connect over S/PDIF. I'm moving out and i don't think apartments want you using 1000 watt surround systems all that much.
By diehard Go To Postso are there any decent or even good surround sound headsets? preferably one that works with Dolby Live or DTS Connect over S/PDIF. I'm moving out and i don't think apartments want you using 1000 watt surround systems all that much.Don't bother with surround sound headsets. The drivers are just not good in comparison to an equivalently priced stereo headset. So, instead, get a nice stereo headset and use the options built into Windows 10 Creators Update to get surround sound on them.
Virtual Surround Sound (VSS) has improved a lot. In the new update, there is a free option called Windows Sonic that I've been using a lot lately and really like it. When enabled, it makes devices think you have a 7.1 system activated so they will send out that surround sound information. If there is no surround sound source available, Windows Sonic will keep it a pure stereo signal with no modifications.
There is another option other than Windows Sonic that came with the Creators Update and that is Dolby Atmos for Headphones. There is a 30 day free trial or you can pay $15, for a lifetime license. It does much the same thing as Windows Sonic. The big differentiator for me is that Dolby will change the sound of even pure stereo signals which I don't like.
I've used them both for a few weeks now, though mostly Windows Sonic, and I have to say that the VSS effects they offer are quite good. I am able to place where sounds are coming from in games quite easily. In general, Dolby Atmos for Headphones has a little better positioning but I don't like the way it changes the sound. I maybe should give it some more time.
Another thing both these technologies offer that is really neat is Spatial Sound. That is the ability to hear sounds above and below you. The Creators Update introduced some new APIs to make this possible. When these APIs are used, you aren't getting a standard surround sound signal translated into stereo. Instead, the APIs let the content maker put virtual speakers in whatever positions they want. I think it is up to 14 or so speakers, but I don't remember (you can find more information on MS's website about it).
If you want an example of a game that already does spatial sound, play Overwatch with the Dolby Atmos for Headphones option turned on while wearing stereo headphones. It works a treat. The game already has a license for Dolby's spatial sound tech and was built around using it without the Creators Update APIs, so you don't need the Creators Update or your own personal license of Dolby Atmos for Headphones to try it out.
By Zabojnik Go To PostKeep us posted, Kib. I definitely plan on giving it a try sometime in the near future.Definitely will. I'll have to check around December or so if they released the new version. The biggest timesink with it is taking the calibration readings correctly. It was relatively easy for my couch, but is more difficult for the chair. They recommend placements that are at least one meter across at the widest point or else the end result will sound lifeless.
It is definitely true as I made that mistake my first time taking those measurements for my desk PC. I did better the second time but the depth of the sound that I expect still isn't quite there so I probably will do it again even wider when I try out the new version at the end of the year. It takes me an hour to take the readings because there is too much traffic on the road right by my house and they are loud enough to affect the measurements.
Thanks Kibner i'll try it out. Sick of my friend calling out shots coming from the front right when they are really rear right in PUBG because he uses headphones. I already have some Sennheiser 598's so maybe i should just get a modmic.

I already have some Sennheiser 598's so maybe i should just get a modmic.No problem. Just try it out before you commit to it. VSS doesn't work for all people for some sciency reason I haven't looked into.
If you want much cheaper mic than the modmic, I've always been a fan of Zalman <$10 mic: https://www.amazon.com/Zalman-Zm-Mic1-Sensitivity-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B00029MTMQ
Cord is super thin but it works well enough. e: The clipl fits most headphone cables, so you can just keep it attached to your headphones all the time and use twist ties or something to keep the cords together down their length.

I think my WAN port got fried in one of the many power failures I had during Harvey. I accidentally found out that you can use your PC as a hotspot in W10 if you have Wifi. I have an AC adapter from my Rampage IV Black Edition board that I plugged into initially use with my phone's hotspot during the storm. I also happen to have the cable modem connection plugged directly into my PC at the same time. Option under Networking to enable "Mobile Hotspot" for up to 8 devices. So now my PC is essentially performing the same duties as my router. My wife's laptop works fine. I've played online with PS4 and it works fine. Really coming in handy as we wait out this storm and retailers to open back up for business.
Logitech did it. Announced a wireless mechanical keyboard and a new mouse with an amazing sounding sensor
https://www.pcper.com/news/General-Tech/Logitech-your-new-HERO-G613-Wireless-Keyboard-and-G603-Wireless-Mouse
I've been waiting on wireless mechanical keyboard for a long time, and this sounds great. Love my 810 keyboard. No backlight is a bit concerning to me especially at that price tag, but using one would drastically reduce the battery life.
Can finally go full wireless with some quality products.
https://www.pcper.com/news/General-Tech/Logitech-your-new-HERO-G613-Wireless-Keyboard-and-G603-Wireless-Mouse
The HERO Sensor
Let’s quickly talk about the new Logitech HERO sensor (High Efficiency Rating Optical). It combines performance that is nearly identical to the much adored PMW3366 sensor used in the Logitech G900 (among other devices) but offers 10x the power efficiency, allowing for incredibly long battery life. Everything from the lens design to the pixel surface area to the analog-to-digital conversion on the controller has been tweaked to improve performance efficiency.
The first mouse to use this new sensor is the G603, a wireless mouse that utilizes Logitech’s LightSpeed technology for fast and accurate wireless gaming capabilities. It offers a host of compelling features, at a cost of just $70, that I think will instantly propel it to the top of many gamers’ must-have lists.
First and foremost, because of the new HERO sensor in use, the G603 gets up to 18 months of battery life with gaming usage. That is with two AA batteries and with the mouse set in the “low” LightSpeed setting. The “low” setting offers a response time of 8ms while the “high” setting will run at a 1ms response time. If you are a dedicated gamer that will demand the mouse be in the “high” setting, Logitech still claims to get 4-6 months of battery life on a single set of batteries. Should you only have a single AA battery at your disposal, the mouse will work with a single installed, but at half the rated battery life.
In another scale, with the G603 running in “high” mode, it will run for 500 hours of gaming. Compare that to the 24-36 hours of gaming that my G900 offers and you can see the compelling difference this new controller and sensor technology makes.
The Logitech G613 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard
The Logitech G613 doesn’t use a fancy new sensor, but it does mark the first time that Logitech has offered a wireless gaming keyboard. With a price tag of $150, using the Romer-G switches designed and exclusively integrated in Logitech keyboards, the G613 utilizes the same LightSpeed technology that recent Logitech mice use for wireless connectivity.
Just like the mouse above, the G613 keyboard allows you to connect to both a Bluetooth and a LightSpeed dongle and use a button on the keyboard to switch between the two platforms. This is an awesome feature for people that would like to use their keyboard to type out long text messages on their smartphone without having to have a second device or accessory on your desk. I am looking forward to capturing all my text recipients’ attention going forward with much longer and more dramatic messages.
The LightSpeed wireless technology has already been proven with the mice Logitech has dropped on the market in recent months, but this does mark the first time a keyboard has integrated it. It maintains a 1ms report rate and offers better performance than many competing wired keyboards.
Battery life on the G613 is a staggering 18 months on just two AA batteries, thanks to an optimized microcontroller and the distinct lack of LED lighting. While RGB lighting has become a staple of gaming keyboards, Logitech tells us that a wireless keyboard with a backlight would last only 40 hours. That is quite a difference and it’s easy to see why Logitech made the decision it did.

So close, yet so far. No good ergonomics on that keyboard. :(
e: The battery life is real good to hear about for both products, though, especially with that kind of wireless performance.

Speaking of new mechanical keyboards, my first edition Kinesis Freestyle Edge should be coming in the next month or so. Can't wait!

So close, perhaps even close enough. I could probably live without a backlit keyboard, but I'm still hoping for Logitech to bring their wireless charging tech over to keyboards. I'm also not a fan of the function keys column on the left, hated it on my bro's G710+. On the plus side - wrist rest is back, yay.
I think I'm going to wait for the G9** mouse with this new battery saving tech and see what's what then. Things are moving, at least.

Zabo, my Dirac trial ended. :(
I think I'm going to wait until the next version for PC comes out later this year before I make a purchase decision. Hopefully it helps with some of the compatibility issues I was noticing with my sound card.
Biggest difference is, again, the low and mid-low ranges. It really keeps them from getting out of control. Oh, also the phasing corrections make the sound a good bit cleaner. Not much benefit from the rest of the range, at least not with the stuff I listened to.
In particular, I noticed the software helps a lot with alt-metal stuff like Creed's "My Own Prison" and Staind's "Break the Cycle". Anything that has loud low notes that can get easily get away and overpower the rest of the sound.

Artisan mouse pads stay winning. Got a larger one in yesterday to replace my two or three year old one. Despite heavy use, it never frayed or anything. Got dirty, but just wash it with a damp cloth and it goes back to as good as new again. Smooth gliding with just enough grip to prevent unwanted sliding from momentum but little enough that there is no hesitation in initial motion.
