Xonetacular's Setup

Don't MK5s have a different anti-skate? (goes to 6 instead of 3?)

It's awesome, I don't have traktor installed but ableton with as many waves and fabfilter plugins as ive thrown on hasn't flinched where my old pc would freak out after about 4.

Sb - yeah if you want to get technical

This is ridiculous! Love that you designed the desk and then actually made it. Hats of to you mate for pure dedication. Serious gear envy over here.

That desk is a beauty. I love woodworking.

Personally, though, I think your setup needs at least another 1200 to REALLY stand out.

I bought the same motherboard and was running into the same issues, it would turn on and just reboot every 3 secs...i sent it back to Gigabyte for RMA...I read a firmware upgrade fixes it, but I never could even get the board to post.

I might get some g.skill and send this stuff back. Once I changed everything to AHCI I had no issue installing OSX to the SSD.


Didn't have time last night to set up anything else or run benchmarks, I'll do it this weekend. I'll also check out that thread, thanks.

It didnt like all 4 sticks of ram. It's fine with three and 12gb is more than enough for now, I don't really want to send the board back- If I ever want more ram I may just get 8gb sticks of g.skill like I should have done in the first place.

I had two sticks of 4 gb ram for 8 total...I know i removed one of them..I just got fed up and sent it back...hopefully they will replace it quickly...

xpost from the soldering iron thread

Holy crap this Hakko FX-888 is amazing. Easily one of the best soldering irons I've ever used. I remembered the old Hakkos were good but this is even better- it's definitely a noticeable step up from the wellers. Incredibly precise temperature control (accurate within 1 degree vs. 10 degrees on the wellers), great build quality, and really well designed. The funky colored base that looks plastic is actually some solid high tech ceramic- very well engineered.

This thing heats u so fast I thought it was off- heats up to 700 degrees it literally 10-15 seconds. You can see when the heater turns on and off from the LED and the temperature control is very stable. Highly recommended for $80 and you can't beat it considering it beats wellers and other brands priced double. I need to get some other tips for it.

yeah I solder in my kitchen, what?

That's pretty dope. Though I would have a hard time justifying $80 for a soldering iron.

Your tone arm wires are beat to shit. Did you replace them at one point?
