Anyone using Rythmik subs?

My office is pretty small (about 10x15) so it works really well. I would probably save 150 bucks and go with the RSL Speedwoofer if I could start over. The L12 is probably better for HT use but I don't think it offers much more for a music setup.

Anyone using Rythmik subs?

I use a Rythmik L12 for my desktop/office. I went with it because its pretty small (around 14x14x14) and well priced given its specs. The other sub i was interested in was the RSL Speedwoofer which is a bit cheaper.

AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

I was able to get 3600 14-14-14-34 (stock XMP timings @ 3200) at 1.45v with G Skill Flare-X. Ran memtest and prime95 for about an hour each with no issues.

Oil going way the F up the dipstick after oil change

You're not supposed to check oil levels right after shutting off the engine. Let the car sit for at least 5 minutes so after shutting it off so all the oil which has been circulating and splattered all over the place internally can drain via gravity back into the oil pan.

Info Radeon VII owners/buyers thread

From my brief research, this card was released to reviewers with premature drivers and it didn't really impress due to being equal or slightly slower than the 2080 while using more power and running hotter (not having custom coolers doesn't help this situation). Have there been any reviews...

Worth upgrading 2500K @ 4.5 or just GPU

Yeah, I can't max out many games any more like the Witcher 3 or Doom, medium graphics is fine and I can average 50-60 fps. Any ETA for the new GPUs you mention, i'm seeing rumors of around March? So at 2560x1400 I shouldn't be CPU bottlenecked correct?

Do you think what the skateboarder did to the McLaren is justified?

You can hear the driver/passenger yell "fucking move bitch" after he runs the stop sign and honks at the skateboarder. Comments also seem to imply this driver is known in the area for driving like an asshole. Skateboarder is not justified but I don't feel sorry for the driver.

ATT raising grandfathered unlimited data by $5

I thought you no longer get throttled with this plan at 5 gb, they said they raised the cap to 22.5 gb if I remember correctly a little while ago because they got fined and pressured by the FCC. Either way, if you're under contract this allows to to break away early with no ETF. It's pretty...

Ford loses ground as sales of aluminum F-150 trucks stall

Too many people buying overpriced used cars. It's a great used car sellers market right now and terrible used car buyers market. Maybe that's why Autozone's stock is at $750/share. I browse craigslist and other outlets from time to time and am amazed how quickly people are selling 2006 cars...

Brake job prices

That's inflation for you buddy, most mechanics don't work for under $100/hr these days. Cost of living and doing business never stops increasing. If you want it done cheaply, grab one of the employees quietly and get him to do it on the side for you.

Is it standard for a landlord to raise rent by $30 every year?

It may be a greedy landlord, but that is likely not the case. Property taxes seem to increase every year, at a rate of about 2-3%/year . All other costs such as home insurance, landlord's utilities such as cold water, etc also typically increase every year. That's inflation and...

renting a 'Duplex' and figuring out the Utility bill

What's going to happen is, he is going to take the going rate for a comparable apartment in your area and add lets say, $100. So if the average 3 BR apartment goes for $1500/month, he will rent your apartment for $1600/month because he is paying for the electricity. If you use $200 worth of...

If there is only 1 meter, landlord is responsible for the bill 100% (its going to be in his name) similarly how tenants are not responsible water bills because most houses only have 1 water meter. The only thing he can do include an estimated cost into the rent. That is his problem for being...

i5 4430 vs i5 2500k @ 4.7ghz apparently similar performance

Still running a 2500K at 4.5, have yet to need a reason to upgrade as everything runs pretty well. A lot of the users here don't care about value or performance/dollar and simply upgrade every time Intel releases something new which is fine but separate way of thinking.

They are the same price on newegg, but it seems you need to invest atleast another ~$100 for an amp. Some prefer the 598's sound for half the price and no amp requirement but like all things in this field, everyone has a different opinion. I am pretty sure after the 598 you probably have...

HTC One M9 hype thread

Truth is, aside from the minority of spec junkies who like paper stats, we reached the point of diminishing returns on smartphone development some time ago which is why the M7 is still quite good. Some of these new features like 2K resolutions on 5 inch screens are just gimmicks.

Basically a WoW clone. The game has FULL voice acting which makes single player experience pretty nice. If you are into the Star Wars lore/universe you will like the game compared to the Warcraft lore. Imperial agent is universally considered the best story line in the game by a landslide.
