  1. I have the Logitech g903 w/ the induction charging mousepad as well. It is amazing. It is as responsive as a USB mouse with the freedom of being wireless and there is no need for batteries. Drivers work flawlessly. This gives me a lot of freedom for positioning the mouse on the desk wherever I want regardless of where the stick, throttle, kb, mousepad, and other desk items are located. I use VR (rift cv1) so I cant always see the desk and need to be able to pull everything into hands reach all at once. This is probably the best mouse on the market. my last Logitech mouse lasted over 10 years, so when you consider its cost/durability it is also probably the cheapest mouse. I run a mechanical keyboard, Corsair k95 RGB - I do not recommend this KB. I have a Razer mechanical Black Widow Stealth keyboard as well - I do not recommend this KB either. The Razer KB has a dead left alt key and a terrible cloud based driver-profile thing. The k95 rgb keyboard has burned out LEDs and a terrible onboard profile and icue driver abomination thing. both keyboards are overpriced garbage. Do _not_ buy their products. Try and find a mechanical keyboard that does not have backlighting as that stuff is highly prone to failure. Saves $ too.
  2. I have an AMD ryzen 1700x (manually overclocked) When I initially purchased this processor, motherboard, and heatsink-fan combo I did not know specifics on how AMD processors overclocked so it was a big learning curve. In a nut shell without getting into it too much the TurboBoost technology of AMD's processors isn't very good for benchmarking numbers. The first core is the only core that gets TurboBoost (automagical overclock) and the frequency that it will hit is very much a function of Temperature and Voltage. If your particular system at the instant moment of time the TurboBoost AI wants to kick in spikes too much in temperature then it won't get that "advertised TurboBoost" number. If there isn't enough voltage being supplied then it won't get that advertised number. There are a lot of factors that determine how much the TurboBoost will boost. Additionally it will only kick in for temporary amounts of time. The core0 load has to reach a certain threshold and it will only engage the TurboBoost temporarily (sometimes for less than 1 second) to get the processes processed faster. If you're concerned about the automagic TurboBoost technology not being good enough then I would recommend manually overclocking the processor or purchasing an Intel processor. Just realize that TurboBoost technology in AMD or Intel processors isn't a guarantee. They do not advertise otherwise: source - https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-9-3900x go to bottom, mouse over the Max Boost Clock info. The real world performance of the TurboBoost is very good, the benchmarking world for it is completely different because of its instantaneous on/off behavior to better grind the process queue on just the 1 core 1 thread at a time. If you're running a heavy benchmark that is utilizing all of your cores at 100% cpu usage the HEAT from that will prevent the TurboBoost from kicking in unless you have some really amazing cooler. TLDR; AMD/Intel Automatic overclock technology is specifically designed for high single core/single thread usage games. A manual overclock will yield better results for everything else.
