Erwark replied to Tythefly86 on New Users Only: 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wukong Wired US$9.72 (~A$15.04), Wireless US$12.82 (~A$19.84) Del @ Player Choice AliExpress
GST does seem to be calculated without any special discounts eg. Vouchers or new user. But not 10% of the hyperinflated fake RRPs many…
Erwark commented on [eBay Plus] Logitech POP Keys Mechanical Wireless Keyboard $19.95 (RRP $149) Delivered @ Oz Squares eBay
This model sounds and feels pretty bad. The case is awful and pingy, the switches are dry and scratchy and the keycaps are (subjectively)…
Erwark commented on Edifier MR4 Studio Monitor Speakers (White or Black) $99 Delivered + Surcharge @ Centre Com
Just keep in mind these are meant to be desktop studio monitors. They are designed to be used up close and to have a flat sound profile.…
Erwark replied to Mondorock on Philips Norelco Multigroom Series 7000 MG7910/49 $81.98 Delivered @ Amazon US via AU
These are the US model, so that's why they mention Norelco. The local model is purely Philips, but is currently $20 more, so not in the…
Erwark replied to spaceflight on [Prime] Philips OneBlade 360 + Extra Blade, Electric Trimmer and Shaver with 5-in-1 Comb $59.99 (RRP $109) Delivered @ Amazon AU
Good for travelling overseas. Don't need an adapter or frankly even the wall plug if you just borrow from your phone.
Erwark replied to Tony-Abbott on Samsung Galaxy S24 FE 128GB $0 ($1087 off) on JB Hi-Fi Mobile $79/M 24M SIM Plan (in-Store, New/Port-in Customer) @ JB Hi-Fi
$1099 via Samsung AU for the 128GB (and 1199 for 256GB).
Erwark replied to SWill on Dymista Allergy Nasal Spray 120 Doses $31.80 (Limit 1) + Delivery ($0 MEL Click & Collect) @ Better Value Pharmacy
It takes about 5 mins to work for me. I realise experiences may vary but a few weeks sounds like a stretch.
Erwark replied to MrFrosty on AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D 8-Cores 16-Threads Max 4.1GHz 100MB L3 Cache Desktop Processor $355 Delivered @ KS Computer via Amazon
Yeah, lots of people have these from Aliexpress (myself included) and I haven't heard of any issues. Plus, failure rates for these CPUs are…
Erwark replied to NotReallyaMoneySaver on [Perks] Samsung Galaxy S23 8GB RAM/128GB Storage $691 + Delivery ($0 C&C/in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi
Yep, there's a compromise for every option. S23 - older model, shorter support, slightly weaker screen. S24 Exy - worse reception and…
Erwark commented on [Perks] Samsung Galaxy S23 8GB RAM/128GB Storage $691 + Delivery ($0 C&C/in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi
Some people would actually prefer the S23 CPU over the S24 CPU, since they went Snapdragon 8G2 to Exynos 2400.
Erwark replied to Perpetuity on AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D CPU US$150.98 (~A$228.17) Delivered @ cp u Store AliExpress
You will pay so much more for a 5800X3D for a relatively minimal gain. 5800X3D on Aliexpress just doesn't go nearly as low as this despite…
Erwark replied to Fergy1987 on AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D CPU US$150.98 (~A$228.17) Delivered @ cp u Store AliExpress
I am currently using a CPU from this seller (also upgraded from 3600). For what I am playing most of the time (FFXIV) it's a massive…
Erwark replied to L51 on AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D US$158.98 (~A$238.68) Delivered @ cp u Store via AliExpress
3070 at 1440p. Improvement depends on the game. FFXIV got a 50% boost in crowded areas. FH5 got basically nothing. Most games are somewhere…
Erwark replied to nicolascage on AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D US$158.98 (~A$238.68) Delivered @ cp u Store via AliExpress
Depends on your GPU and main games, but it was a huge upgrade for me. For $240 it's such good value. Sure AM5 has a great upgrade path, but…
Erwark replied to CyberMurning on [eBay Plus] Valve Steam Deck LCD 64GB Handheld Gaming Console - Black $543.20 Delivered @ Mobileciti eBay
Can I ask why people would anyone get this to use docked full-time? Surely a laptop or even SFF desktop would be better value?
Erwark replied to axlfan on AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D CPU US$149.26 (~A$226.49) Delivered @ cp u Store AliExpress
You will notice a difference, but how much depends on your use case. I have a 3070 driving 1440p and went 3600->5700X3D. Stuff like Final…
This. In most cases, the gap between the 5700X3D and the 5600X is as big as the gap between the 3600 and 5600X. If you're CPU bound, it's…
Erwark replied to belongsinforums on [Prime] SABRENT Multi-Port USB Type-C Hub with 4k HDMI $9.99 Delivered @ Store4PC-AU Amazon AU
Considering the power of the Steam Deck, you're not running much at 4K@60 anyway. Bandwidth should still handle 1080p60 easy and one review…
Erwark replied to cmoddoo on [PS5] Final Fantasy XVI $49 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59+ Spend) @ Amazon AU / $44.10 @ Big W (in Store)
There were only two DLCs and they're already out. Not like XV where they needed like 17 DLCs to patch all the story holes.
Erwark replied to M27 on AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D CPU US$153.06 (~A$229.72) Delivered @ SZCPU Store via AliExpress
Most people won't recommend investing in an old platform unless you're just upgrading the CPU in an existing build. However, if you want…

Reiterating your recommendation: 5700x3D needs a newer BIOS than the 5800X3D, so check you NEED to check for compatibility with this…
Erwark replied to Shenannigoat on [Switch] Free Gyarados @ Pokémon Scarlet & Violet via in-Game Mystery Gift
Diamond and Pearl remakes were DULL and had limited sustained interest. If you played DP, they are literally the same experience with a…
Erwark replied to 0806449 on [Pre Order] Samsung Galaxy S23 Phantom Black 128GB $839.30 ($589.30 with Trade-In Bonus) Delivered & More @ Samsung
Technically no, but not far off, but with better driver optimisation, thermals and a better modem than the Exynos. It's an insane phone for…
Erwark replied to Grey 13 on Vivo IQOO Z9 Turbo: 5G, Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, 12GB/256GB US$347.68 (A$527.27) Delivered @ TradingShenzen, Hong Kong
8s Gen 3 is weaker than 8 Gen 3. All cores are downclocked by a little, the Cache is 33% smaller and the GPU has half the shaders (but…
Erwark replied to h0mbre on NZXT Function RGB White Mechanical Keyboard w/ Gateron Red Switches $79 (RRP $229) + Delivery ($0 MEL C&C) @ PCCG
Surely having to replace/recharge batteries is more inconvenient than any benefit for most cases?
Erwark replied to ozshopp3r on NZXT Function RGB White Mechanical Keyboard w/ Gateron Red Switches $79 (RRP $229) + Delivery ($0 MEL C&C) @ PCCG
For mice, sure. What's the issue with cables on keyboards? Just the aesthetic?
Erwark replied to theguyrules on TP-Link Tapo C200 Pan/Tilt Wi-Fi Camera $39 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend), 2-Pack $69 Delivered @ Amazon AU
C200 and C211 both use 9V 0.6A according to my adaptor. C212 uses 5V, according to Amazon.
Erwark replied to NotReallyaMoneySaver on Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 5G 8GB/256GB $1149, 8GB/512GB $1349 Delivered/ in-Store @ Telstra (Telstra ID Required)
It's closer to a base S23 with an SD 8G2 and 3700 mah battery. S24U is 8g3 and 5000mAh.
Erwark replied to stevelo on AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D CPU US$170.65 (~A$275.63) Delivered @ SZCPU Store via AliExpress
After the $30 discount code, yes.
Erwark commented on Samsung Galaxy S24 Snapdragon (Dual SIM 8GB RAM 256GB 5G (China model) $1189.99 Delivered @ Buy Mobile via Kogan)
Just got mine today (is Chinese Snapdragon) and can confirm VoWifi and VoLTE (4G & 5G) both work on Telstra (Boost). Happy.
