The average frame rate I used to have before using this product was about 20 to 25 frames per second, but after using this product for about a week I began to average 50 to 60 frames per second. If you follow that math, you would see an increase of 150% to 300%
Besides being able to run Linux, I recently installed Doom and it works beautifully!
Have you ever used a VR headset? Just one, if you want. Suitable for holding headphones or controllers, each piece is strong enough to carry them.
It is not bad to use magnets for any component of a computer, unless you're using floppy disks (you guys need to upgrade your hard drives because they have enormous magnets within.
Selected User Reviews For NZXT Puck - BA-PUCKR-B1 - Cable Management and Headset Mount - Compact Size - Silicone Construction - Powerful Magnet for Computer Case Mounting - Black
After sitting on the Puck for a while, I am still fond of the idea. My headphones have been used for many months now, and I have been beginning to see a little wear and tear. There is one pair that has begun to rip at the underside of the headset cushion where the corners of the Puck push in. The grippy materials on both the Puck and headset have caused this over time. As I place the headphones on the Puck and take them off, they will slip off the Puck. Another headset I have is a different material, but it has permanent dents where the corners push into the cushion on the underside of the headset. Several of these issues would be addressed if the product had a curved shape instead of.
Honestly, I'm going to tell you the truth. The original thought that I had about this accessory was that it was one of the stupidest things ever. There's nothing unique about this headphone stand, it's a rubbery magnetic puck. Still, if you've ever looked at the selection of headphone stands on the market, you'll see they're all pretty average. As I don't like to hang things below my desk, the puck was an interesting option for me. Having heard great things about this puck from NZXT, I decided to try it (largely because I was so excited to see how excited NZXT is about the puck) and I was pleasantly surprised by its quality and usefulness. My headphones can be hung easily from it since it clips right on to the front of my h500i case. Although not overly elaborate, the design is quite attractive and works exceptionally well. It is packaged in a tasteful manner and the rubber is of very high quality. In fact, the puck is made of two pieces, so you can loop cable around it if you like. The puck is among the best headphone stands on the market today, but I can't believe I'm writing this because I think they are a great choice for people who have headphones and are fed up with the overpriced and flimsy stands currently available. The cost is less than twenty bucks and it's best alternative to using a dedicated hook under.
There is almost nothing that could be better about this product. There is simply no way to get it to Maybe if you have a pair of really light headphones. But with headphones like the HiFiMan HE4XX or the AKG K7XX, it simply cannot accommodate However, the half of the puck can only hold one HiFiMan and one AKG K7XX at once without sliding down, which is a shame, as it's otherwise well-designed and the cable management is awesome, but this is clearly not a high-performance product. Some weight to the headphones on the end.
The pros are This case has a nice rubber feel and doesn't slip down, even with heavy baggage I like these headphones (see details below), but they have a few cons as well - It seems absurd to pay $20 for this when it comes with a NZXT PC case that costs $70 (but it's nice!) - Grippy rubber could damage softer headbands (I use a thick headband protector because of this) - When it comes to slipping, there are a number of contributing factors. Due to my Audio Technica ATH-M50X headphone, I'll leave the headphone weight to one side The 50xes that others said slipped have been corrected. In terms of PC cases, thickness will be the most important factor. You can get a cheap case made out of thin steel (or even less than that) Due to its magnetic properties (magnetized steel), it will slide. In my case I have an NZXT S430 which is by no means a "premium" case, however it does have thick-walled windows I like the same company for the steel panels and it's easy to install them. The rubber surface on the inner side of the shoe can also be troublesome because of dust. There would be more slipping if there were any there, since it's like shoes on a basketball court.
Please note - This is the perfect way to store Please note - I have the same case as this. They were both made by NZXT, so the two can fit Please note - I'm very pleased with the look and feel of it. The cons are Please note - This is a super strong species. In all fairness, it is not much of a con, but it worries me nonetheless. Because the magnets are so strong, it's hard to take it off my case, and it's hard to find exactly where I put it, since it flies out of my hands onto my case when I take it off. There's just something about how strong it is that I dislike. As long as it's on there and in a good position, I suppose it's not much of a deal. The following thoughts might be of interest to you The only reason I would not recommend it is because of how strong it is. The magnets I like, and the way I decorate my case, is very satisfying to me. The case keeps my headphones out of the way when they are not in use as well.
The things I have just described make me want to install a magnetic panel next to This is the solution you've been looking for if you've been unsuccessful at finding the right balance between having your cables stored neatly and having them readily accessible. Only one disadvantage of the product is Please note - As a rule of thumb, you need only one cable per half, which means 2 cables per puck if you plan on winding/unwinding your cable frequently. The more cables which can be wrapped around a half, the less convenient it becomes to grab a cable out of your setup because they are all wrapped around and over one another. Please note - In light of the above, use of a few of these might be quite cumbersome for use with multiple small cables (but it is still worth it if you have the room).
I like that the blue matches my case (NZXT S340), and I don't have to worry about my headphones or their 9 ft cord getting tangled up in There is a high level of quality overall They use slick silicone that allows them to wrap cables around without having to worry about damaging them. They adhere firmly to the front of the case (with magnets).
I was hesitant to spend $20 on it at first, but I've been impressed with the quality and how well it keeps my headphones safe. This would be recommended, especially if you have an NZXT case already.
THE UPDATE IS As you've observed in my top review, I have quality headphones (Audio Technica ATH-M50, ATH-M65) I removed it before tearing into the headband cushion (M50X) where it rests on the corner of the puck, so I could see the dents before they started being noticeable. It is my opinion that headphones should have had a more rounded design. The material is also very rubbery, so I am not fond of it- As such, it is very easy and quick to collect dust and dirt. Because of the potential for headphone damage, we removed a star. A REVIEW OF The system works as intended The magnet has a very strong attraction. Those who are unaware of the fact that it splits in half can see that it splits in half. As a rubbery product, this catches dirt and dust very quickly, and it also gets dirty very easily. That's about all I can say against it. It is also too expensive for the value it provides. I think it's a good program and does its job well.
