(Part 2) Best products from r/bapcsalescanada

Hey, yeah, thanks for asking. A lot of people on this sub don't know anything about mice apparently (due to my downvotes).

• This mouse fucking weighs 121 grams (which is crazy fucking heavy)
  
• You probably want a mouse in the range of 60-90 if you actually want to play competitive shooters (or if you don't want your hand to hurt)
  
• The mouse design is a relatively safe shape, you can definitely find mice on the market that will fit your hand better.
  
• If you are actually looking for a good competitive fps mouse that is wireless, buy the Logitech G Pro Wireless for the same price. It fucking weighs 81.9 grams compared to this fucking metal tank.
  
• Otherwise, if your in the market for a casual browsing wireless mouse, go with the G903 lightspeed.
  
  Anyways, there are plenty of mice on the market now that have top tier sensors with amazing shapes and low weight... here's a few...
  
  
• Zowie FK
  
  
• G305
  
  
• XM1
  
  
• Razer Viper
  
  
• G-Wolves Skoll
  
  I would highly suggest to not listen to anyone on this subreddit. Find a mouse that suits your mouse grip. Don't buy random garbage posted because it looks like a good deal.

Are you pushing on the center of the fan where the bearings are to stop the noise? If so, then mounting it on top will give you the same issue if not worse, as the middle part that I assume you're "pushing back into place" would be facing down when exhausting air out the top, so gravity would be working against you. I guess it would still be worth a shot to try it in a different orientation, but I had that issue on one of the NZXT fans that came with my S340 Elite and it needed a replacement.

If you end up needing a replacement I would recommend checking out the Arctic F12/F14 fans if you just want something cheap and don't need dat RGB. They're better than stock Fractal case fans in both airflow and noise, MUCH better than the Coolermaster RGB fans that came on my AIO and if I remember correctly the NZXT fans I had on my S340 Elite were louder than the Fractals.

I was skeptical at first with the low price, but I had used one of the Arctic GPU coolers before and it was top notch, these were no different. There are definitely better performing fans like the Noctua's, but for a rear exhaust fan I don't think it's necessary to splurge. They make quiet, solid fans, and they're pretty much the cheapest out there.

If you do want to get some RGB bling in your case without breaking the bank I would check out the Deepcool RF120's. They cost a little more and noise levels on the Deepcools are close to the F12's, but they do move a little more air, at 56.5CFM vs 53 CFM with the F12's.

Both of these fans can be bought in packs with 4-pin fan splitters/hubs, and have a noise profile that doesn't "stand out" which is the most important thing IMO. Moving air is always going to make some noise but what you want to avoid is fans that have a strange pitch or a distinct buzzing, clicking, whirring etc that stands out.

1. Hey guys planning on upgrading my fans for my case, is this a good deal and/or reputable fans? Would like all noctuas but im just not rich enough sadly lol. my current cpu case is the nzxt source 530 also, been using for about 4 years and i clean it monthly but the ambient temps are starting to go up https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00NTUJTAK/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1
   
2. I'm thinking of parts for my next rig, currently waiting on zen 3, any good board recommendations? I've read that the bf450 tomahawk is good and the msi am4 carbon gaming mobo is good too, should I just wait in case new boards get launched? Trying to snag some deals

>You should try laughing. Maybe you'll learn something.

Lol I've been laughing at the stupid and nonsensical things you've been saying, and the mistakes you've made. Remember - My arguments and opinions are a child. You are a dictator. Reality. Snowflake."dribble".

>Just like you should learn that Redux mounts with Chromax corners (something you obviously didn't learn).

The square frame redux fans, yes, they do have extra holes in the corners. But we weren't talking about those. We were talking about the round frame 140mm fans.

You mentioned two fans to replace the NF-a15 - the redux NF p14r - only has screw holes - no holes to mount the rubber dampers. But you specifically mentioned the R fan.

The "s" redux fans that are 1500 RPM are $30. Add in the $5 in rubber dampers, and you're back up to the price of a $35 chromax... with last gen tech.

So $70 for equivalent performing fans in a different colour-

♥♥♥

In response to the person who has been using it for 5 years, I'd recommend against it. There are better headphones available if you don't specifically search for a 'gaming headset'. I've said before the hyper x cloud sounds horrible from experience and I stick by it.

If you don't search by the gaming headset moniker and instead look for a separate headset/microphone combo you'll be a lot happier.

Personally I enjoy these headphones and microphone, but I've been using them for 2 years so I'm also probably a bit biased/out of the loop. If anyone recommends better, definitely chime in!
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00ENMK1DW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_JaVYDbZ82YWRP

Along with this microphone:

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00BJ17WKK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_1cVYDbZRR7BN2

They are overpriced right now (headset was ~80 when I bought it, microphone was $35) so I'd wait until black Friday or look for a cheap alternative, but regardless I wouldn't go for the hyper x cloud. These are also open back so you'll have a nicer sound but others around you will be able to hear if you've got the volume up.

I've never used these, but I've also straight up have never even heard of these or have seen any reviews for them at all.

Anker's previous gen truly wireless flagships were the Liberty Airs, which I have, and are genuinely great for the price:

I don't know if it's the "best bang-for-your-buck" monitor you're looking for, but this is what I'm using and I really love it.
ViewSonic XG2401
It's currently out of stock on Amazon but usually sells for around $330. I think I bought it for $290 on sale but I know it's gone lower.
It's a TN monitor, 144 Hz, 24", and the stand allows it to tilt/rotate and is VESA ready.
I have it mounted on a VIVO dual monitor arm stand with a ViewSonic VA2459-SMH monitor.
Again, don't know if it's what you're looking for, but I thought I'd share.

Edit: Might also want to check out the XG2402. I believe that's the newer version of the XG2401. Around the same $330 price tag I think.

I bought a "CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD 1500VA GreenPower AVR LCD UPS System" back in March 2009 from Canada Computers for $260

Then, I bought "1 of Set of 2 - CyberPower RB1280X2A 12V 9Ah Compatible - Replacement Battery by UPS Battery Center" in October 2017 from Amazon for $83 shipped to replace the initial batteries.

The unit + replacement batteries are still going strong and have protected me from so many power issues!

Just to be the only one in the neighbourhood with working WiFi during a power outage, it's 100% worth it.

With only modem + router, I can last easily 4 hours (longer outages are rarer, or I'll just go to bed and wake up with power). With my NAS, modem and router, I'm looking at about 2 hours of video streaming during a power outage. With my desktop, monitor, nas, modem, and router, I still have between 5 and 15 minutes of uptime depending on what I'm doing.

Actually, one time I got 16gb of DDR4 ram for $80 when it was going for $150+ because the seller wasn't using an UPS like this, had burnt his computer in a thunderstorm, and was selling his parts for his new build to afford replacement parts instead. So I can say that others not having UPS devices actually made me richer ;)

These days I'm actually looking to buy a 2nd unit, but in the higher end CP1500PFCLCD version for my more sensitive devices (I have a korean UW monitor with mild flicker issues).

I highly recommend using an UPS on all your electronics and computers!

Looking at a few pieces for a new build and looking for some suggestions. Watching deals as we come up to black Friday.
Need GPU, CPU, Motherboard, RAM. Upgrading from a 2550k with a 970.
RAM -Just bought https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07FY13HZV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
GPU - looking at a 580 - afaik this price is excellent... 580 memory exp however since it's not listed on here, I'm not really sure about it. Looks good, but I expect this one to drop for BF in a few weeks.. Thoughts?
CPU - AMD 2600x seems to be the go to budget pick. Watching for this to go sub 190$?
Mobo - Little lost here.... Tomahawk, b450m b450a b450f. I'm watching the b450f, as I've seen it used in other builds. I'm thinking around 110$ would be awesome.

Just watching and waiting. Any suggestions or info is appreciated. Thanks.

I don't think this is worth a post of its own (feel free to post it if it is) but Noctua's 140mm round redux fans are on sale for $18.95 on amazon, free shipping with prime: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00KF7QO2G/?tag=pcp0f-20

I had an old 92mm fan that I tried to install on my case last night and hated the extra noise. figured I'd go get something thats good and the right size haha.

Yes these are great for gaming, you can turn it into an awesome headset too with the [V-MODA BoomPro] (https://www.amazon.ca/V-MODA-BoomPro-Gaming-Headset-Headphone/dp/B00BJ17WKK)

Yeah, a 1440p with those specs will likely run you a bit higher than $400. Have you considered FreeSync or G-Sync? I've heard that it makes a great impact on the experience, and some people say they won't game without it anymore. If you have an AMD card, this 1080p ViewSonic that has some of the best review in its class, and it's still on a decent sale. I just bought mine, should be getting it tomorrow.

So im looking to buy some pc case fans and im considering getting this: https://www.amazon.ca/Arctic-F12-Standard-Configuration-Possible/dp/B00NTUJRHK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

Is there a better deal out there that I should look to jump on or is this fine? Im pretty sure I would be fine with just 2 fans but 5 fans for $30 with those reviews seems pretty damn good.

Red dragon is more or less the standard for cheap mechs. Here's one for $40: https://www.amazon.ca/Redragon-KUMARA-Backlit-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B016MAK38U

They're not amazing quality but they are amazing for the price. They're just re-branded cheap chinese mechs and many other companies sell them under different names, but this one seems to be the most popular.

Link to it:
https://www.amazon.ca/Intel-SSD-545s-256GB-SSDSC2KW256G8X1/dp/B074S8V6Y1/ref=redir_mobile_desktop/147-3696959-1560842?_encoding=UTF8&ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1

They are getting rid of inventory, yes.

48$CA for a 256GB Intel SSD is a great price, with better sustained writes vs the SU800.

I find I save a lot of money (non-essential items) on buying a low-cost option first (a 25-30 dollar mech for example). After I learn what I need//want, I'll then have a good idea for what to splurge on.

More often than not, then low-end is more than good enough for me and end up happy with my purchase (e.g. no need for premium SSD) but YMMV

I would recommend this instead:

https://www.amazon.ca/Assassins-Creed-Origins-Streamer-Bundle/dp/B07HGLKTY8 comes with assassin's Creed for the same price.

OP says best mic but I've owned it for a year and don't love it. The stand is huge, it only folds up nice if you unplug it, and the cable is mini usb with a very delicate seeming port. Almost guarantee the port will fail within 2 years of owning it (on my unit at least). Audio quality is good but nothing crazy, build is 10/10 other than the port. AMA

Anyone have thoughts on this UPS?

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00429N19W/ref=gbmh_mob_s-3_3da4_179e402b?m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&dealid=179e402b&pf_rd_p=6a2ae07a-6047-492d-8b7d-1765bf213da4&pf_rd_s=slot-3&pf_rd_t=35801&pf_rd_i=22&pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_r=BVYQKNC8W0P4ABYBSHGD


It has great reviews outside of Amazon and the specs are great, but based on other sites, it looks like the seller jacked up the price and then put it on sale so that the savings look bigger than they are.

I have a 650W PSU and an Acer X34 - will this do the job? Might throw my network peripherals on here too.

You have a mic already? Yeah you should be able to. A little pricy, but V-moda works great with audio-technica's if you don't.

Holy frick that is so much cheaper than the Cyberpower one I was going to buy (two of!) from Amazon.

Thanks!

Edit: Oh, it's cheaper because, despite APC's claims of PFC compatibility, it's a stepped sinewave output. Rip. Thanks anyway!

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07JH3LSHN
These MH751 are very good for the price, one of the best sub-200 gaming headsets imo

This is a cheap one that's better than the GN246HL

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00HY7PAUC/

If you can afford spending a bit more this XG2401 has the best colours for a 1080p 144Hz TN monitor
https://www.amazon.ca/ViewSonic-XG2401-FreeSync-Monitor-DisplayPort/dp/B01A0ZRR50

Logitech G502 lightspeed is on for the same price ($200-$60) for $140.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to which one might be a better buy apart from general style? Reliability? Features?

Would folks recommend the XPG Gammix D10 3200MHz for $120 or this deal? Getting a Ryzen 5 2600 with a B450 motherboard (not sure which one yet). Thx.
(https://www.amazon.ca/XPG-Gammix-3200MHz-Memory-AX4U320038G16-DB10/dp/B07FY13HZV/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?crid=YKRGCCPOIZED&keywords=xpg+gammix+d10&qid=1556899666&s=gateway&sprefix=xpg+ga&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1)

Same price at amazon.ca (CDN$ 325.00 + FS) if you don't want to buy it from newegg.ca

You could also possibly PM with MemoryExpress, which has it for $369.99 at the moment.

I got this monitor for around the same price and I love it. Mainly wanted to see if 144hz would really make a difference when playing FPS, and found that you can really see how much smoother it is. I originally got the Acer GN246HL from the amazon.ca deal for $200 and compared the two side by side, but the ViewSonic XG2401 really blew it out of the water when it came to colour and the adjustable stand.

With more research I found that the XG2401 is a really solidly rated monitor, and I highly recommend it to people looking for a reasonably priced Freesync monitor with decent colour for a TN panel.

> Just realized my 120mm fans on my case have died. Was just gonna stop in wherever and pick up some cheap replacements, but does anyone have any better suggestions? On sale or not.

You could also go for Noctua's redux line of fans found here. I have a couple of these in my system and they move a lot of air and are pretty silent for the most part though i run these at like 1000 RPM. These are not as good as Noctua's regular line of fans but gets the job done. Also does not come with the accessories that you usually get from Noctua fans. The only thing included are mounting screws.

Well chief, this is normally a $150 mouse that recently dropped to $100 on Amazon but it's listed here for $41 + free shipping.

Best all-in price right now, though if module height scares you, this 3200MHz kit for 95$ is a good alternative.

Been in the same situation, where I have a favorite pair of headphones but no mic. Ended up buying a desktop mic instead (the CAD Audio u37). For in-game chat, the audio picked up is nowhere near the same as a mic on a headset. You will see a lot of ambient noise being picked up by most (all?) such microphones. See if you can add a mic to your headset - it will be worth it.

​

Seeing your post, I searched around for the mod-mic and ended up ordering the V-Moda Boom Pro, as my headphones have a 3.5mm input option.

​

Hope this helps.

I REALLY need help to replace the fans on my Noctua NH-D14.
Would these two be compatible?

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00KF7QO2G/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A27FJEHHGNYHHY&psc=1

I was looking into these before I got my 1440p 144hz Dell monitor, and from what I found, people seem to think the XG2401 is the best option:

https://www.amazon.ca/ViewSonic-XG2401-FreeSync-Monitor-DisplayPort/dp/B01A0ZRR50/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502205148&sr=8-1&keywords=XG2401

Add the V-Moda BoomPro Mic and you've got yourself an awesome headset.

This is often touted as the best gaming headset in the $100 range:

https://www.amazon.ca/Cooler-Master-MH-751-Neodymium-Omni-Directional/dp/B07JH3LSHN

Slightly on sale.

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07JH3LSHN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I own those and I adore them.

Trying to decide between two monitors

• https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01A0ZRR50/
  
  And
  
  
• https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00KO4518I
  
  Is the extra $50 for freesync worth it? Which monitor has more value?
  
  
  

Amazon has an EVGA RTX 2060 Super listed for $450 ($200 off) right now. There's no prime shipping and it looks kinda suspicious. Is it worth buying? Link: https://www.amazon.ca/EVGA-GeForce-Gaming-Backplate-08G-P4-3163-KR/dp/B07TLPWBJ4/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=

If you end up with the viewsonic , get it on amazon or else you may never receive it. Avoid Tigerdirect like the plague.

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01A0ZRR50

Don't want to make a post for this because I'm not sure what the whole deal is with Amazon Warehouse stuff, but there's a Cooler Master MH751 headset for $72.12 (sounds like it got crunched) and a couple of others in "better" condition for $83.84

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/offer-listing/B07JH3LSHN/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

Best deal is the $79.99 no tax XPG Gammix D10 3200MHz red, black.

Are these better for $4 more? https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B07FY13HZV/ref=sspa_mw_detail_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1
