  1. Guys, any suggestions for an ITX AM5 motherboard, case and AIO?

     

    Planning on using the following components:

     

    CPU: 7800x3D

     

    CPU cooler: Any 240 or 280 mm AIO from Corsair, Phanteks or Coolermaster

     

    Fans: 140 mm (size and number depending on the case)

     

    Motherboard: based on your suggestions

     

    RAM: G.Skill X5 32 Gb Ram 6000Mhz CL30 (16x2)

     

    Storage: Crucial P3 Plus 2 TB M.2

     

    GPU: Sapphire 7800XT or 7900 XTX (may use the 4080 as price is now similar to the 7900 XTX)

     

    PSU: Corsair or Coolermaster 850W Gold fully modular SFX

     

    Case: Lian Li A4-H20 or Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini (unfortunately the Fractal Torrent Nano is unavailable)

    What's a good card for travel (train/flight/hotel) bookings? Preferably something that also doesn't incur fuel surcharge. 

     

     

    Not many. Only some 800 points left. I regularly used the points to pay for mobile recharges and Zomato purchases. Don't think the points would transfer over anyways.

     

     


    Get the HDFC Infina, HDFC Diners club black (no fuel surcharges for the HDFC cards) or AMEX Platinum Charge card.

     

    The Infinia cards are capped at 15,000 bonus reward points per month; and you will get a maximum of 7,500 reward points on a day. They have deprecated the value of the card.

    I know who Chris Cuomo is. Him being a gropey a**hole does not elevate Tucker Carlson from what he is, a perpetually perplexed racist tub of tasteless mayonnaise.

    There are enough clips of Tucker floating around, with ample context, that provide a fair idea of his rhetoric. I do not need to dive into that septic tank to find out what sh*t smells like.

     

     

    You cannot say Joseph Stalin was better than Adolf Hitler nor, Adolf Hitler was better than Joseph Stalin.

     

     

    Both are bad, equally f**king bad. One is not better than the other.

     

    Edit: @Right People have repeatedly discredited articles published in Dailymail, Sun, and a few other papers. Everyone knows that they are Tabloids. These papers will print literally anything irrespective of facts. They are shock jocks; they are not right, left nor center leaning papers.

     

    This has nothing to do with right wing, center or left wing. Please do not mix the issue with something unrelated. Argue your points based on facts, rather than perceived bashing of "right wing media".

     

    @Right I am genuinely interested to know your views on "right" wing politics and ideologies.

    Why? Meetings here have not been banned. 

     

    Live in different countries, no fly lists (no international travel), One of us not being a citizen, Covid nonsense in general. The wife of a colleague is a Malaysian and he has not seen her in person since December 2019. A few of my friends are in the same boat as well.

    Back to Covid f**king humanity, folks.

     

    Covid is f**king everyone. I could not meet my girl in person for two god damned years. Do you know how happy I am now that my dry spell has ended after two years?

     

     

    She and I had to literally had to take a flight to the US to meet recently, as we currently live in different countries. She is moving here now (was supposed to have moved in May 2020), her moving plans got f**ked due to Covid.

     

     

    OT: Don't ban this mods. We are discussing the effect of Covid on the mental and physical health it has taken on unmarried people in a relationship.

  6. f**k, I'm getting married soon and I'm praying for a government lockdown because I have not invited more than 30 people, but, I know at least 80 god damn relatives (not invited) will turn up.

    I am trying to convince my parents to let me hire security or asking the local police station to send a few cops over to ensure that only the people on the list are allowed inside.

    Nah, most are about AQ and mic. 

    Check Amazon.com

     

     

    Yikes ! Read the review. Bad mic. Poor isolation. Wear issues depending on your fit, no way to manage. 9k. 

    Not that great tbh. 

     

    I like the mic and AQ on the PS Gold headset. Isolation is not a problem I need to worry about as the room is very quiet.

     

    I have a JBL quantum 600, I will compare the two and post my review here.

    Worth it ? All I am hearing are bad to mediocre reviews. 

     

    The mixed reviews are mainly for the fit of the headset and the clasping around the ears. The Playstation Gold headset fits snugly for me, so I assume this should as well.

    Any headset recommendation that works beautifully not only with ps5 but with other devices as well. Budget around ₹10k max.

     

    Currently getting pulse 3d for 9500 so looking for any other better options in similar price range ( if any).

     

    I have the jbl quantum 600 (purchased at 10.5k from amazon). It's pretty decent.

    Just google how people replace products and return the wrong one in the box. If the online seller did not check properly when the item was returned, then an unfortunate customer will receive the wrong product, but in the correct packaging.

     

    @rushaboswal will be better able to answer this type of fraud than I.

    I did not get you there does shipping from bhiwandi guarantee it won't be a fake ps5? I did not get a reply from the OP of the fake ps5 poster but it seems the seller most likely is cloudtail india. If so they should replace it no questions asked.

    It was most likely a scam done by a customer, not perpetrated by Amazon.

    Where can i track it. I'm going tv hunting tomorrow. Will be going to shops like VS. So are ps5 going to be on sale there in some shady way? I heard a local RD was pulling a shady PS5 dealing where they were overpricing it or forcing customers to buy added stuff with ps5. Now i hear they may not be doing it IDK.

    @NitroNeo A lot of the local Sony Centres are still bundling stuff. One Official Retail Partner is scalping a Disc PS5 for 65,000/- and Digital for 56,000/-.

     

    I am paraphrasing what the Owner of that store said to my nephew "either buy it at this price or best of luck buying online." I got the Digital for him during the last drop but Amazon shipped it from Bhiwandi, so expect to see the unboxing video of an actual PS5 not a customer scam. 

     

    Please do not hate only the companies (an individual can be as or more scummy than a company), read the older articles of how people were scamming amazon, flipkart, snapdeal, etc. during 2013-2015. Quite a few of them refused to service certain pincodes.

     

     

    Edit: Personally, I hate the way amazon treats their warehouse staff. I do not buy from them unless I have no other viable option. I have no love for any of the online retailers (and some offline retailers).

    Lol.

    Better to invest right now and plan on traveling next year.

     

    I am not joking. I was looking to travel to the andalucian region in Spain for my vacation with friends and family.

     

    It is literally cheaper to charter a flight than to book business class.

    Yup, the 3rd test is free.

     

    From what I can read, double dosed (Covidshield) tourists just need to fill a tourist locator form 48hrs before travel and then need to take a Day 2 Covid test in the UK.

    Some websites are saying that even Day 2 test isn't necessary but not sure, gotta wait for more clarity.

     

    Looks like airlines are keen on making back all the money they lost in just a single season.

     

    Chartered flights are now cheaper than the scheduled flights.

    Finally very important thing i wanna ask about C1 pre calibration rating of 4.6/10 on expert mode is that, since i will use standard colors mode will the poor calibration be a problem for me or standard colors on C1 great ? I have no calibration experience apart from normal settings tweaking. I don't have any professional calibration equipment nor know of any calibrator.

  16. 1.33 is a reasonable price. If you really want it buy it, I personally do not see a point in haggling over 3-6 thousand rupees. A client has told me that freight costs have increased by 20-23% this month and they expect a further increase in costs. Do not compare the offers this year vs the previous.
