[R Λ Z Ξ R_INSIDER] Insider reward achieved

Just like a video game, where players can achieve a trophy point of a certain accomplishment; I have joined the R Λ Z Ξ R Insider forums, not only to try help out with Insider technical queries, I consider it like a game. Create threads and posts to achieve R Λ Z Ξ R Insider trophies and zSilvers. At the same time, obeying the Insider house rules is and was important. Not only that, I was able to connect with some of the Insiders and official R Λ Z Ξ R staff members, and redeemed many zSilvers in exchange for R Λ Z Ξ R peripherals and other cool stuff. It only took me a little over 2 years to achieve so much. Coming close to 3rd year. This will be my 2000th post, my next goal is "meeting VIPs" @dekades @mltan and one of the VANGUARD, you are my next target. Share what you have accomplished so far, what you want to achieve and continue to play the game of being an Insider. Maybe I can help you gain 500 zSilvers by achieving your "meeting VIPs / Hey I know you" trophy. I am loca

IMMEDIATE ACTIONS!!! for a RAZER redeem in exchange for zsilvers

I wanted a headset base for my Kraken TE. Placing my headset dead flat on my battlestation, just felt empty. Like a piece of painting that lacked the colours. This is my story............ Enjoy~~~~ So I wanted a headset stand. At sometime in end of 2020, I found about Base Station Ver 1 in RAZER Silver redeem rewards and my instant goal was just that. Unfortunately all black base was out of stock in AP continent; I was waiting and waiting, but no updates from RAZER in restocking the AP continent. I was carrying on spending countless hours of investment towards earning Silver. Until at sometime in Jan 2021 the Black Base Station Ver 2 was on RAZER Silver redeem rewards, but I lacked few thousand Silver. So very hoping that this does not go out of stock when I reach 70k. But guess what, it was out of stock! I was furious!! Even RAZER.com was out of stock in AP continent!! You could imagine, spending countless hours investing your time and efforts towards a goal and when that time ar

[LAPTOP_TALK] Prevent battery bloating, study of thermodynamics

We are getting number of Insiders and users facing battery bloating on Blades and other gaming laptops. I have created this thread to give an understanding of why battery bloating occurs and what you can do to try prevent it. One of the downsides of gaming laptops is its compacted size. Modern RAZER Blade hardware specs have enough CPU and GPU performance to play all the latest games. The issue here is, it will release a lot of heat during high load gaming and other high load application use. This heat is what causes laptop battery to bloat. Study of thermodynamics. If you set the CPU and GPU fans to rotate according to the temperature level (automatically), it helps to cool down the CPU and GPU processor for sure, but the remaining heat from the heat sink will spread throughout the laptop, creating heat encapsulation. The state of heat being transferred through physical boundary, is the study of thermodynamics. Due to the compacted design of laptops, the energy of the heat from t

Favorite keyboard scenes that play music to my ears

I like movie scenes that have computer keyboard scenes From the film 'The Social Network', the scenes where Mark Zuckerberg builds facemash and thefacebook. Just hearing the keyboard tap, brings out the music to my ears. What is your favorite computer keyboard movie moments, or any computer moments.

[GPU_TALK!] End of the line for Kepler series GPU~~~

Just like how Microsoft no longer provide patches and security updates for old Windows OSs, that time has come for one of the GPU architecture from NVIDIA. The Kepler series Click the following link to get more information~~~ Nvidia officially ends driver support for Kepler GPUs, Windows 7 & 8 | TechSpot Briefly; battlestations that are running on Windows with the Kepler series GPU will no longer receive the following updates from NVIDIA Performance patches Graphics optimizations But the cards will receive critical security updates for next 3 years, but what is a GPU that does not deliver best gaming performance and optimizations? By setting your gaming to low quality and resolution settings, you can still enjoy the games on the Kepler series. I would advise to upgrade!!

[GPU_TALK!] 1080 TI; 5 year old legend still stands~~~

We all want that excellent / high performing battlestation; although RTX 3080 TI is now released, the shortage of GPUs still goes on, thanks to scalpers who continue to purchase from Best Buy and Micro Centers and resell them at such ridiculous prices in Ebay. In North America continent, nvidia RTX 3080 TI FE retail price is $1199.99 USD. Don't support the scalpers. They are the enemies to all gamers that seek GPU marketing justice. If you are thinking of an alternative solution, GTX 1080 TI could be an answer and for many years to come. GTX 1080 TI may lack the following features~~ Ray tracing (check out what games support Ray tracing) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_ray_tracing_support Deep Learning Super Sampling (check out what games support DLSS) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_DLSS_support Benchmark comparison to some of nvidia and radeon series But the card still has the potential to play all the latest games and for many years to com

[GPU_TALK!] Closing the gap between the board and heatsink~~~

What you see is a GPU heatsink and GPU board (heat source). In one of my GPU_TALK! thread, I have discussed it is important to get the correct thermal pad size and close the gap between the heat source and heat sink. Leaving a gap does not help with cooling down the heat from the GPU. Thermal conductivity of heat transfer will be incomplete. Other thing that can cause a gap, are GPU screws that is used to enclose the chassis. The important lesson is, you must align the screw holes properly before screwing in the screws. If the screw holes are not aligned properly, you might not be able to enclose the chassis. Miss-aligned screw holes and attempting to force the screws in; it will push the other side of the board, eventually creating a gap between the heat source and the heatsink. I noticed that my GPU heat sensor was at 87 degrees Celsius when I play games. I found this odd, since I just replaced both my thermal paste and thermal pad. I did recall, I was trying to force screw i

[GPU_TALK!] Worth losing warranty for better results?

We hear stories the pre-applied thermal paste and thermal pad on GPUs are horrible. Horrible as in "quality" It sure is horrible~~~ The GPU you see above is my recently purchased new GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2080 TI. Making custom changes like water cooling, thermal paste and pad can be risky, because your warranty on the card becomes nullified. So I ask, would you risk losing your GPU warranty to apply better thermal paste and pad on your GPU? Aftermath, the readings on GPU temperature against the clock work improved. Low temperature against fast clock work on GPU I am thinking a thermal paste and pad can cost about $40 - $60 USD (depending on the brand and its quality)

[BATTLESTATION RGB!] Color Cop, R Λ Z Ξ R Green (analog vs digital)

Downloaded a software called Color Cop, which is able to detect the color co-ordination of a pixel on your screen. Try out the software by clicking here The color co-ordination of R Λ Z Ξ R Green as follows~~~ Red: 68 Green: 214 Blue: 44 After applying the color co-ordination on my Corsair iCUE to apply R Λ Z Ξ R Green on my battlestation, the expectation is not what I expected. Compared my digital lighting on battlestation to Kraken TE Outcome lighting: RGB lighting diodes need more engineering work~~~ Eventually found a color co-ordinate that show similar comparison. Try out your color co-ordination and display your R Λ Z Ξ R color.

[Gamma zsilver!] Did that just happen?! lucky me, I guess~~~

The world is short supply of GPUs and current sellers are using the idea of "short supply and high demand" as an advantage to sell their GPUs at "not normal" prices. Many Insiders have been asking; what is the best GPU for mining zsilver through Gamma? I was able to test and rank few of the GPUs (RTX 2080 TI being the top) GIGABYTE RTX 2080 TI Gaming OC 11 GB GIGABYTE RTX 2080 Super Gaming OC 8 GB GIGABYTE Aorus GTX 1080 TI 11 GB I was able to purchase a NVIDIA GTX 1080 TI Founders Edition 11 GB for $611.07 (USD). This new (but second hand) card is able to mine at same rate as my GIGABYTE RTX 2080 TI Gaming OC 11 GB, by 3 - 4 seconds faster!! I don't believe it!~~ NVIDIA GTX 1080 TI Founders Edition 11 GB beating GIGABYTE RTX 2080 TI Gaming OC 11 GB So few great points for my new GPU~~~ Uses less electricity Mines a little faster Purchased the GPU at a greater deal compared to the ones being sold in ebay and AMAZON GPU chassis is designed in a way to get the hot air out through

[BATTLESTATION BUILD!] Second hand GPUs; things to watch out for~~~

When buying a second hand GPU, be sure to test it using benchmark software and observe the GPU internal attributes using MSI Afterburner Certain things to watch out for during heavy load~~~ Temperature of GPU Stable or fluctuating core clock Release date of the GPU To maintain the GPU architecture from burning up, a thermal paste and heat sink is used. The thermal paste and its chemical compound expires after 2 - 3 years (depends on what the GPU was used for), so be sure to check the status of the thermal paste within the GPU. Update with my new but second hand NVIDIA GTX 1080 TI FE 11 GB, I have noticed an unusual behavior of temperature spike and fluctuating core clock. First I thought it was due to limited thermal throttling, it turns out the pre-applied thermal paste compound has become petrified, solid and expired. After purchasing few new tools and GPU cleaning products, the GPU is running like new again and even better. Isopropyl Alcohol Screwdrivers Thermal paste spreade

Contractor's Pyramid

A scene from The fast and the furious 2001 film Building your gaming rig is just like how Dominic Torretto does when building his cars. Most importantly the thing that caught my eye is the poster next to him "Contractor's Pyramid" It is true, to build a fast + good car, its "Not Cheap". To build a fast CPU and GPU processing + stable Gaming Rig, its "Not cheap" Dominic Torretto's goal is to build fast and good cars to win at Illegal street races and sponsored tournaments. We gamers and pc enthusiasts have something in common; our goal is to build our gaming rig to play the games we want, so that we can be ready for some of the followings~~~ Best entertainment streams Sponsored tournaments To enjoy the time of your gaming Top of the chart overclocking (benchmark testing) Also to show off in front of our friends What is that ultimate or best gaming rig you have built? How long did it take you to reach that goal? (as in saving up to finally building it) What is your next upgrade th

Silent-Tactile Opto-Mechanical switch

Just for the record, this thread was posted on Sunday the 10th Jan 2021 I want to ask RAZER, you have developed a Clicky-Tactile and Silent-Linear Opto-Mechanical switch, why not Silent-Tactile Opto-Mechanical swtich? The Huntsman is on the market choice of Clicky-Tactile or Silent-Linear, how about Huntsman choice of Silent-Tactile Opto-Mechanical switch? I have been using my BW Stealth for too long, and I sure would like to see a new keyboard in production with a Silent-Tactile Opto-Mechanical switch. I find Silent-Tactile perfect for gaming and work. Why work? Because it is silent, does not bother my colleagues; and tactile bump sure feels good when typing. Would RAZER insiders like to cast your vote on this? L E T ' S M A K E I T H A P P E N ! ! ! ! Please send my regards to @dekades and @mltan
