Headphones by Pengu

Logitech G Pro

Pengu’s headset is the Logitech G Pro. This headset offers DTS Headphone: 2.0 7.1 surround sound, featuring object-based surround sound for positionally clear sound. Sound comes from 50-millimeter drivers placed behind noise-cancelling leatherette or breathable velcro earcups. Users can create sound profiles through the G Hub app.

Users can connect the headset to a PC or game console using a wireless USB dongle. Like other wireless peripherals, the G Pro headset uses the manufacturer’s proprietary Lightspeed technology for a low-latency connection.

Penguin’s Mouse

Logitech G Pro Wireless

Pengu, like many othes, likes Logitech Pro Wireless Mouse WOOD. It is one of the most popular mice today among professional gamers and streamers, especially with the recent advancements in wireless mouse technology.

G Pro Wireless runs Logitech’s LIGHTSPEED 2.4GHz wireless technology, with equal latency and sometimes even faster than wired mouse. The ambidextrous design and modular side buttons make it ideal for left- and right-handed gamers.

Mouse sensitivity steps, macro buttons, and LED color can be customized through the Logitech G Hub software suite. The shape of the G Pro Wireless is also a relatively secure design, with the buttons and mouse wheel both featuring clear clicks with minimal travel time.

Penguin’s keyboard

Logitech G Pro

Another Logitech G peripheral in Pengu’s setup is Mechanical Keyboard G Pro. G Pro uses Logitech G GX Blue Click switches that are responsive and clickable. The keys illuminate via customizable RGB lighting behind the keys, modifiable in the G Hub.

The user can configure the lighting profile through the G Hub, which will be visible even when the G Hub software is closed. However, the RGB lights will be static instead of the patterns moving. The G Pro keyboard also supports 12 programmable F keys.

Pengu’s screen

The Pengu has a dual monitor setup with the AOC AG251Fz and the ASUS ROG PG259QN.

AOC AG251FZ

The AOC AG251FZ gaming monitor comes with a 240Hz refresh rate and the display has a 1080p resolution. While the monitor has picture quality features like AOC-exclusive shadow and color control, it doesn’t have the HDR profiles or game genres like some of its competitors. However, it has AMD FreeSync.

ASUS ROG PG259QN

ASUS has shipped the world’s first 360Hz gaming monitor: ASUS ROG PG259QN. The PG259QN offers the fastest possible input lag, provided you have a PC capable of running the game at such high frame rates.

Along with an ultra-high refresh rate, the PG259QN features a 1ms response time, a fast IPS panel, HDR10 color adjustment, G-Sync certification, and ASUS low blue light technology. There are also built-in profiles to provide visuals for different games.

Pengu’s touchpad

Logitech G640

Included with other Logitech G products in Pengu’s setup are touchpad G640. This touchpad has a large and square 4.72 inch x 4.72 inch design with a low-friction fabric on top. At the bottom of the mousepad is a rubber base to keep it in place during use.

Webcam of Pengu

Sony A6000

For his webcam, Pengu uses Sony a6000 . digital camera. This camera can shoot at 1080p resolution at both 24 and 60 fps. It comes with a 24.3-megapixel sensor, enhanced by Sony’s Hybrid AF autofocus. The autofocus feature is handy for streamers as it can refocus to get the most accurate shot possible in less than a tenth of a second.

Pengu’s microphone

Shure SM7B

Pengu’s Shure SM7B checkered microphone is another favorite among streamers. It uses a cardioid polar sample condenser to deliver warm vocal performance in playback. It is also compatible with audio interface software using an XLR cable connection.

To aid in recording, the SM7B features a Pneumatic Shock Isolator and a pop filter; The shock-resistant isolator acts as a shock mount reducing physical sound pickup. To protect against electromagnetic interference from computers and screens, the SM7B has an electromagnetic shield.

Pengu’s mix-amp

GoXLR

Combined with Pengu’s Shure Sm7B is TC-Helicon GoXLR . Audio Mixer. This mixer comes with a four-channel physical mixing board for real-time audio mixing. Users can add vocal effects such as reverb, pitch shift, and echo using the modulation buttons on the unit during recording. It also features a programmable soundboard and RGB lighting to match the aesthetic of peripherals and other lighting-enabled hardware.

Penguin’s CPU

AMD Ryzen 9 3950X

Pengu’s CPU is a AMD Ryzen 9 3950X. This processor features 16 cores and 32 threads for unmatched power in gaming and content creation. It comes with 72MB GameCache memory and is compatible with PCIe 4.0 devices.

The Ryzen 9 3950X has a maximum clock speed of 4.7GHz when overclocked. It’s an older generation than AMD’s Ryzen 5000 series CPUs, with a difference of at most 20% in applications and two digit difference in game. However, it remains an absolute tool for content creation and gaming, especially for those working with Adobe applications, programming, and 3D rendering.

Penguin’s GPU

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

Nvidia’s Geforce RTX 2080 Ti is Pengu’s power when playing Rainbow Six Siege and video editing. The 2080 Ti may have been superseded by the RTX 3000 series cards (specifically the RTX 3080, 3080 Ti, and 3090), but it’s still an exceptional GPU in 2021.

With the 2080 Ti installed, users have access to real-time ray tracing and machine learning-powered DLSS upgrades. 4K native resolution and 60 FPS ray tracing – especially games that use a lot of ray tracing, like Control or Cyberpunk 2077 – may be out of reach for the 2080 Ti. But with the addition of DLSS, the 2080 Ti is more than capable of playing most games at 4K at 60 FPS and games at 1440p at very high frame rates.

Like the Ryzen 3950X, finding a TI 2080 at a good price remains a challenge because of chip shortages, Nvidia itself expects to continue until at least 2023. It is predicted that chip shortages will not improve until at least 2023, Nvidia’s CEO. Until then, it is expected that inflated GPU prices will remain high for the foreseeable future.
