(Part 3) Top products from r/Corsair

I can't speak to the K63 specifically but I've had an excellent experience after installing Rosewill silicone O-rings on a K70 and K95. To give you an idea of how much of a difference they make, listen carefully to a mechanical keyboard when you type a single letter. There are actually two clicks: a louder click when you press the key down and a quieter click when you release it and the spring causes it to snap back into position. Normally the first click is the loudest of the two. After the O-ring installation, the second click becomes the louder of the two because the O-ring dampens the first click so much.

In addition to sound, I just like how they feel with the O-rings as well. It's less of plastic bashing against plastic and more of a soft, premium feel. However, some folks (particularly those with Cherry MX Blues) prefer a more "clicky" feel and may find O-rings too spongy for their tastes. YMMV.

You can use those O-rings on any mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX switches. However, note that there are different packs with carrying numbers of O-rings in each pack depending on the type of keyboard you have. It's possible that the size might vary as well based on keyboard/switch type, but I don't know. Of course, they're only $10 so you won't be out very much money if you decide you don't like them. ;-)

You'll have to double check how your board is set up, but it will most likely be fine without the angle. I just looked in my case, and I have about 2 inches from where it plugs in, to the top of the graphics card. And the plug sits about 3/4 of an inch off the top of the board. So that should work fine.

Edit: I'm assuming you live in the US, so I'm going to provide American links.
You could do this too,

With this:

So only slightly cheaper, but everything else still stands. They do offer a smaller size too, though I think the one I linked should fit most standard to large cases. I'd double check just to be sure. And you don't have to worry about CPU compatibility. Basically all CPU coolers come with mounting for Intel and AMD so you're good.

Thanks for the reply! I'm using these which are pretty reputable brand.

You'd basically just be looking for air coolers that support 140mm fans. Something like this would be compatible:

https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-U14S-Premium-Cooler-NF-A15/dp/B00C9FLSLY

This is a better idea than trying to top mount it with offset bracket. Think of it this way: A normal air powered heat sink takes in case air and uses it to wick away CPU heat (moving the heat into the case,) which hopefully gets exhausted by fans. So a front mounted radiator would take in fresh air from outside the case and use it to wick away CPU heat (also moving heat into the case) which is also exhausted by case fans.

If you already have a filter in the front of the case, you're saving yourself the tedious task of cleaning your radiator all the time too.

If you still want to consider fan offsets, https://www.amazon.com/Radiator-Mounting-Bracket-Set-6-32/dp/B008BWQOBI/ that might work. Those little things look like they'll move the whole assembly down and away by a couple CM. It breaks the "seal" on the top though, allowing some hot air to recycle back in if the exhaust pressure is too low. I'd try to follow /u/xDougiie's advice.

ahhh gotcha lol. Here's an amazon link to them

https://www.amazon.com/Kanto-YU2-Powered-Desktop-Speakers/dp/B00GMPDAHM/ref=pd_bxgy_23_2/132-7548863-4814402?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00GMPDAHM&pd_rd_r=e3133d2b-a4b7-11e9-b6f8-915155cfcbac&pd_rd_w=75QDs&pd_rd_wg=Wyfoa&pf_rd_p=a2006322-0bc0-4db9-a08e-d168c18ce6f0&pf_rd_r=YG2T7XNC4XC7PBSJPZKT&psc=1&refRID=YG2T7XNC4XC7PBSJPZKT

> Will it work

As long as the adapter supports the mp500's 2280 M key format, such as this one

> get the right speeds?

As long as the adapter supports pcie 3.0 4x, such as the one above

> And will it be able to boot off it?

Depends on the motherboard. After looking around for a shirt while, I found this thread that claimed that you can indeed use m.2 pcie SSDs in the slot, but it will disable the first sata port (so just connect sata drives to the third port).

Unfortunately, I couldn't find if the motherboard let's you boot off it, but if it can't, a bios update could help. Also, using a pcie to m.2 adapter won't affect whether you can boot from it.

Second this.

Gaming headsets are usually subpar headphones with a subpar microphone.

Get a decent pair of headphones and a separate mic.

Philips SHP9500S + V-Moda BoomPro.

$80 for this setup, spend the $50 you saved on games.

I would go for one of these instead:

https://www.amazon.com/AGPtek-Drive-Adapter-Converter-External/dp/B00BIE996S/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=RC1TW0ZABBSN9K1A1WG5

Granted it only does 2.5A, this should support ~46 LEDs at all white max brightness. IIRC the LNP is limited to 4.5A, which is a limit of the SATA plug. There might be other options too.

Yes I'm setting it within Windows. I ordered THIS adapter:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ISVI3U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If this doesn't work I don't even know what I'll do..

I used two of these in my Air 240 as exhaust fans. Wish Corsair had some 80mm options for their little cases.

The adapter that is referenced is the Xbox one audio adapter that connects to the bottom of the controller.

https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Stereo-Headset-Adapter/dp/B00IAVDOS6

I'm sure you can find the adapter at a lower price.

Googled "Aluminum headphone stand" and found it: http://www.amazon.com/Just-Mobile-HeadStand-Heaphones-HS-100/dp/B00A3CMAYY

https://www.amazon.com/Max-Keyboard-Universal-Translucent-PRINTING/dp/B00PIEED6K/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1494641775&sr=8-5&keywords=max+keycaps

I too dislike wireless stuff and have my Void Pro, st 100, K68, MM800 and Glaive all running off one hub. this one. though I'm sure any usb 3.0 hub or extension will do.

> I bind my discord/VOIP program mute mic/headphones

I used a foot pedal for my push to talk. This one I think, on Amazon. However, I've got a set of rudder pedals coming, which take both my feet. You sir have solved my problem.

Now all I need to do is get Ol' Left Pinky trained up!

They hurt my ears too until I replaced the earcups with thicker ones that went around my earlobes. The clamping pressure is somewhat heavy, granted.
