S-senpai noticed us? ;w;

Hehe I completely forgot that this thread existed, up to the moment you told me about it on my stream. I guess I will be working as a helpful hand in here. That's something I like doing when subject is osu

Hi omega reporting in

Man, fuck it. Only reason I keep getting B's from Insanes is because I start streaming way too early so all I get is 100's.
I still haven't figured it out and I cant even get triple circles without getting at least one 100's from it.

There are quite a few work arounds for that. Try playing with HD in order to learn the timing on that AR. Force HR to learn how to ACC (might not work for the lower ARs, but still HR teaches you that). Spam streamy maps, preferably the ones you are not used to playing, and get used to reading them


just bought my first mechanical keyboard ever - Corsair Vegeance K70 with Cherry MX Red Switches and it's fcking awsum ! Now i'm manged to do rapid taps xD.

I got a K70 aswell, last year. It's pretty great. Right now I ordered a mechanical keypad in order to mod it with every switch (browns, blues, reds, blacks), or at least the most relevant to me - since this does not include all of them. I hope it's not a waste of money, since I got the switches for free and 40usd for the keypad. It's time to spare my K70

SASL 2014 / Re: Losers Round 3 - Match AX - Promagic vs DBTVSA
« on: September 11, 2014, 10:43:44 PM »
I was going for a throughout review on the stunts but since they are literally the same thing there is no point. Both have their own technical level, which is easy execution, quite hard to find an actual spot that fits the objective. My vote goes to Promagic because the actual landing looks a bit worse to accomplish that DBTVSA's spot, mainly due to the "precision" area.

Going pro I see :v)

Took a look into your project/portifolio... do I even have to say anything?

What is the most difficult stunt you have to land for CV ? And why ?

Orion's opener

Forgot to answer why: it's probably the most technical and precise stunt I've ever landed. The bump has to be perfect so the it's high enough for a good wallride, but not too high otherwise you'll lose momentum. The wallride has to be executed properly and have the timings done right (when to start turning to jump off) and the grind is just a pain to land.

Jokes aside I tried that stunt for a few months, and one day I randomly gave it 2 tries and landed it within 3 minutes lol

Computer Talk / Re: i7 4770K or 4820K?
« on: December 06, 2013, 12:31:59 PM »
sooo, how about this?: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2fY6P


G.Skill is overkill for it's price. Probably one of the best brands for RAM atm. But the series you picked have a somewhat high access latency. I'd suggesting picking up a Ripjaws. If you can't afford these, go for Snipers.

The GPU is probably the best performance-related. I'd suggest checking out the AMP! series pricing. When I bought mine they were tagged 25usd higher than the stock. AMP! is basically the same card, but factory-overclocked.


Everything else is top tier, great picks ;)

Also, as for the processor, the biggest difference between the 4820k and 4770k is that the 4820 has more PCI-E lanes and better RAM access. This would mostly affect multi-GPU setups, but since you are going single 770, the extra money on 4820 would basically be spent for a more stable&higher overlock and small performance increase if stock.

If it was me buying it, and I was going for single GPU, i'd save some money and get the 4770k.

Doesn't mean that they are going to last as much as the ones made for those matters simply because:

Games especially often are either coded for AMD/Intel/NVIDIA hardware.

Whereas they are not coded for a "brand", they are coded in a certain architecture and perform better in those. And to be really honest, I'm yet to see a game being coded for servers. :rolleyes:

As I said over skype, I really encourage you, or whoever it is who's building this PC to go over Tomshardware and look under CPU Masters or CPU Experts posts. You'll find better info about e3 vs i5/i7 than a retarded discussion over architecture vs clocks

Not only in theory as if you just type down 1320 vs 4770k you'll find several benchmakrs that proove that wrong. But then again, benchmarking is something that depends on the whole system.

As in these ones for example: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html

http://browser.primatelabs.com/processor-benchmarks

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Xeon-E3-1230-vs-Intel-Core-i7-4770K


Then again, benchmarks are pretty dependable on the system. I can find countless benchmarks where it performs worse, or better.

Also, please, tell me how the hardware design only affects something in theory. I don't refrain studying CPU Organization in college and being told that the hardware architecture affects little to no tasks at all, even more when talking about instructions bank, which is quite different [also if you do not know that, most games are coded in C++, have their methods and some functions pre-compiled to assembly and optimized for desktop CPUs/If you want an example of games that are coded with limited instruction set, which could perform better on a server than a desktop CPU: BF4; in counter-part if you have a game that is designed for Desktop CPUs: Farcry 3]

No, cases are not only visuals since being capable of having a decent cable-management and good air-flow can get you lower temps in basically everything. Phantom is a god-tier case in terms of cable-management and airflow. It also has the looks, and the extra space in between HDD docks, atx and PSU will give you lower temps.

I didn't say cases don't matter at all, but there's way cheaper and still decent ones. Imo that's a waste of cash if you can get all these features for less.


Yeah, really, the phantom is not cheap enough already (119,99USD), and it does not provide one of the best cooling performances.


Either way, I'm probably not going to be on the forums for the weekend. If you wanna have a decent and soon enough crappy system to save up some $$$ get the 1230 as rusch said. It will indeed be cheaper and probably be ok for a while, specially if your PC is being mostly used for encoding, rendering and such. If you are going for gaming, I'd seriously tell you to avoid the 1230.

Servers were never supposed to be used for gaming, as much as they can perform decently for gaming (which is probably not this case either, since we are talking about an e3 and not e5 and I suppose you don't wanna go bankrupt for getting an e5)

Gaming + Computing & no overclocking: H87 Board + e3 1230 v3 (~290 €)

What the flying fuck are you saying, Andre.


If you want gaming only go i5. If you want to do computing and general gaming i7. Do not go for a Xeon for gaming, for the love of god (unless you wanna have a dual-CPU setup, which is probably not the case).

Based to the one you showed, what do you think about this one?
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/26H9m
I didn't plan to buy the device either as if I really want to open something, there is the laptop for it.
250GB HDD is more than enough for me, combined with an SSD it is perfect.
About the case, I love the look of those NZXT Phantom cases.

The memory you picked has decent clocks but the latency is way high. Either swap them for G.Skill or a different module from Corsair.

SSD is fine, but if you have extra budget go for samsung 840.

Case is top-tier

Processor is top-tier

CPU-Cooler: Do not go for that one if you are paying 40Euros. Buy a 212 evo instead, will perform WAY better and the price tags are really similar.

If you are going for an SSD, why would you buy an velociraptor? I'd suggest sticking to a 7200rpm one and investing in a better SSD.

MoBo is ok, I'd suggest taking a look into asrock's, but gigabyte is fine, specially if you can save up for z87

If possible, go for the Zotac 770 AMP!. It's factory overclocked for the same price (maybe a little bit more expensive) than the stock 770 and it's worth the money. I have one myself and it performs godly.


The EVGA GPU is more expensive, has a lower clock speed and worse cooling, which leads to more fan noise at strong usage.

Cases are always a matter of taste. The Phantom isn't bad but overpriced only for it's visuals. Savings potential right here if you really care about maximum system performance.

The PSU is good, but imo too expensive as well. Any other be quiet! or Seasonic one at 500 W will do, as long as all required connectors are available. This shouldn't be a component to spare on though.


No, cases are not only visuals since being capable of having a decent cable-management and good air-flow can get you lower temps in basically everything. Phantom is a god-tier case in terms of cable-management and airflow. It also has the looks, and the extra space in between HDD docks, atx and PSU will give you lower temps.

Agreed on PSU

EVGA is just shitty as it is because of their current architecture.

Zotac = Beast Performance
Asus = Cooling/good performance
msi = Cooling/silent/decent performance, worse than the 2 above
evga = oh please no do not get an evga


The i7 4770K has no advantages apart from easy overclocking (only in addition with a Z87 chip motherboard!!) and the useless iGPU. If you don't need that, the Xeon is the better and cheaper option at same performance.

Indeed the e3 is far cheaper, but I hope you know that for gaming it performs at the same level, or even worse, than an old 2600. Could be better for computing, yes, but as for gaming it's going obsolete really soon.

If you wanna go further, the e3 series instruction set is limited to handle with big loads and high data traffic, having a limited set of instructions makes the instruction bank hardware smaller and providing more physical space for the multiplexers/ULA, register bank, memory bank and so on, which, by consequence, makes it run colder and being more proper for 24hr sections without having to rely on architecture design for better cooling, thus, making it cheaper

. It does not support every assembly instruction as the i3, i5, i7, which, in some cases, could lead to not having the optimal performance in a game/non-server application properly optimized for desktop CPUs.

Then again, the 4770k is more expensive and it runs hotter, but having a good CPU-cooler (specially if you decide to go for the 212 I mentioned), you will have 0 problems with that.

It really looks old with a different run-up. Either way, if there really is anyone who thinks this is modded, then that person is a complete retard and know shit about stunting.

Now really, stick to VC

i'm sorry, but such a comment coming from somebody like you doesn't really look like something i could take serious.

That's too bad, it was a serious advice. I don't feel like fighting, specially with a random stunter. Good luck with whatever you're up to

haha if there's a member around here, who's even more biased than xto, then tell me.  :lol: seriously, if you want to correctly cover it, then you should spend a bit more time on imagining excuses which make it actually sound credible :ajaja:

but i don't want to be a bad loser here. :a-cheer: congrats to you, requiem, for winnig this tournament, you definitely deserved it  :happy: i had a lot of fun stunting for this sasl, and if there's a thing i learned, then it's not to buy any pokemon game before something like final-matches again  :lol:

Still butthurt because I said that your semi-final spots were bad eh? Now really, stick to VC

Requiem 3x0 for me.

Tomiboy's stunt #1 and #2 were old, whereas the first one was landed in... 2009? Second one was landed with FL-on the first time.

Last stunt from both were kinda bad, but at least Requiem's seemed to be a bit harder due to the precision.
