    Is this good enough to run Minecraft?

    • +9

      No but it can run doom

      • It can easily run tetris

    • For masking when mining?

  • Hi OP, would you know the expiry date on the black masks?

    • +2

      The black masks we have in stock right now have an expiry of June 2025. Any new stock we order in next 24 hours will likely have a later expiry date.

      • Do you have a larger size? Last time I ordered standard size, it was a bit tight for me

    is this better than intel?

    • +7

      They can overclock better

      Buy the one with 3D Cache for gaming. LOL

    • +1

      Faster but hotter. Recommend better ventilation

    Thanks OP. Got one. I found this to be the best value and quality among others I have tried. Price came up as $86 though

    • Not even remotely on par with 3m for quality, but you pay for it. But its a staggering gap.

    Bunnings is clearing out their 5 Pack P2 for $1, Bunnings Sunshine even wrote them down to 20c a pack.

    • +1

      Got a link to those Bunnings ones?

      • I am don't think the Bunnings ones are P2, they were kn95

        • +1

          You're right, on the second look it's kn95 but much better than the cheap non-rated one Bunnings has been selling or even surgical mask.

          • @lgacb08: Yeah they're pretty good, especially for the price.

            Do you reckon the sunshine store still has stock?

    Perfect timing, flu season is coming, lots of people are coughing in the train

      • +45

        They’re now familiar with droplet/contact precautions and realise they can easily avoid getting sick if they want to?

          • +41

            @krazek: Yes - it took a pandemic for the general public to become familiar with precautions that hospital staff use every day.

      • +26

        Perhaps increased awareness of transmissible diseases, sense of social responsibility, acceptance of wearing a mask in public ?

        Who cares, if someone wants to wear one, good on them. Hurts no one.

        (Though I do get perplexed at people that wear them alone in a car, or walking around alone doing exercise etc…but that's a different thread :) )

            @krazek: Jesus show me one study that even remotely suggests mental health damage from wearing a mask. May as well suggest kids wearing pants is child abuse. More and more research is coming out correlating viral infection to long term chronic illness, heart disease and cancers. HPV, EBV, all the sars, potentially influenza - can all remain dormant after infection, hiding in your body until reactivated by a new infection. If you feel like infecting yourself, your family, your kids - go for it (you'll get your karma) but how ridiculous to pass judgement on others for trying to protect their kids.

              • +12

                @krazek: Little Johnny learns to speak from his parents when he's safe at home, not from you at the freaking supermarket. The hypothesizing is incredible. And your original comment was a concern that the children were wearing masks, not the parents. So which is it? And immunity from a cold? Show me one example of anyone developing immunity to a rhinovirus. Every viral infection does damage and in very young children they can be deadly.

              @bargainshooter: I may not be Jesus, but I found a study in less than one minute using a search engine.
              The effects of mask-wearing on social anxiety are likely to be substantial and clinically relevant
              Do you have one study paper to support your claim of viruses, in which one virus particle, has been isolated, in purity (without a culture)?

                Sip
                You should have told us you were a qualified virologist!
                It's not like you're just repeating those uneducated words/talking points without any idea what you they actually mean right…..

                • -1

                  @SBOB: I didn't think there was a prerequisite of being a virologist, to ask for one scientific paper, to back claims made. Thank you your reply, but I don't recall asking for logical fallacies.

          • +3

            @krazek: I'm sure I'll regret commenting in this thread, but when I was a kid I did way more embarrassing things than wear a mask. It's not like you're wearing white socks or something (you know who you are, haha).

          • +2

            @krazek: Do you also think parents forcing babies to wear seatbelts is bad?

            • @GettingThePlus190s: Sorry but I won't argue with someone who thinks a baby wearing a seatbelt and wearing a mask are equivalent

        • +2

          Masks are also good to screen out particulates - that's what the respirators were designed for. Some people are just more aware of pollutant levels than the general public.

      • +12

        As long as you used to wear them pre 2020, makes sense. But I feel that isn't the case for most… What's changed?

        You also shat in your pants pre-3 years old. What's changed?

          For him, probably nothing…

            @Homerlovesbeer: That data in that review is largely misrepresented. It is true the findings weren’t very good. However, basically all the trials in the review were conducted on healthcare staff in wards with positive patients.

            That is to say: the data looks mostly at preventing catching covid (negative person wears mask) not preventing transmitting covid (positive person wears mask.)

            And further, the data that was obtained comes from high risk subjects in high risk settings, from studies of varying design quality and significant limitations.

            Overall, yes, it doesn’t look like wearing a mask is a great way to prevent catching covid.

            But it is still quite reasonable that mask use significantly reduces transmission from a positive person.

            Guess which reason public health units around the world advocated masking for?

            @Homerlovesbeer: John Lorimer Campbell is an English YouTuber and retired nurse educator known for his videos about the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, the videos received praise, but they later veered into misinformation. He has been criticised for suggesting COVID-19 deaths have been over-counted, repeating false claims about the use of ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment, and providing misleading commentary about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines. As of January 2023, his YouTube channel had 2.72 million subscribers and over 598 million views.

          Here's the counter argument to the Cochranr article

          https://www.unsw.edu.au/news/2023/02/yes--masks-reduce-the-r…

          Bullet points..

          • Data was iffy

          • P2 are better than surgical

          • Masks only work while you are wearing them. The studies didn't differentiate between infections from the times you weren't

          • Not did it account for how well people people fail to wear them properly. Think of the chin wearers, the people that take them off to sneeze, or rub their nose under putting their hand under their mask.

          @Homerlovesbeer: Have you actually read the full research paper @Homerlovesbeer ?

          Let's look at their conclusion:

          "The high risk of bias in the trials, variation in outcome measurement, and relatively low adherence with the interventions during the studies hampers drawing firm conclusions. "

          In summary, no firm conclusion can be made.

          The paper draws on on research from other papers and so summarises these other papers and they grade the other papers on Pages 5,6,7 and 8. The grading given are as follows:
          * Four papers get a "Very Low" certainty rating
          * Four papers got a "Low" certainty rating
          * Four papers got a "Moderate" certainty rating
          * Zero papers were rated with a "High" certainty rating

          Yes, Zero papers were given a "High" certainty rating. This is from the paper you have cited. @Homerlovesbeer have you actually read the paper? Or do you just blindly make citations without reading papers?

      • Gotta link?

      • +2

        Sorry mate, I'll have to disagree with you regarding their effectivity… I mean, I don't think anyone claims they're 100% effective. However they are most definitely doing something with regards to hindering the spread of illness, whether airborne, droplet, fomite, bacterial or viral.

        • -5

          Before you swallow what the media tell you please just have an open mind and look at what the science says. Full study from a very reputable organisation.

            @Homerlovesbeer: Thanks for the link. I've seen this one too.

            However, I'd shudder to think about what would happen to all the colleagues in the health care system if they decided to take this at face value and stopped wearing masks completely.

            • @tebbybabes: Like the study states, "wearing a mask may make little to no difference in how many people caught a flu like/Covid like illness" referring to community wearing, not health care usage.

          • +4

            @Homerlovesbeer: Did you even read the whole systematic review?

            “ Key messages:
            We are uncertain whether wearing masks or N95/P2 respirators helps to slow the spread of respiratory viruses based on the studies we assessed.”

            So no real definite answer but they are leaning towards no difference.

            • @cowiie: Do what you feel makes you safe, I don't care. I'll just look at those wearing masks and think 1) maybe they are sick and wish to protect others. The same outcome that covering your mouth while coughing achieves.
              2) sadly You're living your life in fear or are suffering from a life threatening comorbidity

            • +2

              @cowiie: Again, thanks for the link. And yes, it's actually passed my desk. But I read it again to a greater depth tonight. Can't say that I enjoyed the extra work on a Sunday. 😀

              My conclusion remains the same. The review found inconclusive results with regards to effectivity of stopping the spread of respiratory viruses. And ultimately, it's a review. And it's a review of something that has so many confounding variables with challenges in empirical testing. Not to mention variations in the studies themselves that they included in the review.

              *edit, apologies @cowiie. I thought it was @homerlovesbeer that was asking me if I had read the review.

            • @cowiie: Bold of you to assume he can read.

          • @Homerlovesbeer: if you rely on scientific evidence you should be aware that there's no evidence that parachute helps saves your life when you're in freefall.

            • @lgacb08: Yeah, no way that RCT would get ethics approval and I can’t see many people willingly participating in the no parachute arm.

            @Homerlovesbeer: This was rebuked by not only many other reputable scientific organisations but also by the Cochrane editor in chief. She states this study was a review of the effectiveness of the "interventions to promote mask wearing" - not the actual masks themselves. So much for your understanding of the literature.

    I've said it plenty of times before. I purchased from this seller a while ago. Sent him an email to see if all was legit and he asked if he could phone me. Wanted to know more about the awesome ozbargain community and was committed to looking after ozbargainers. Never met him.but told him I'd be happy to list them for him, you can see a few mask posts in my history. Without any bias I think they are the best mask on the market, seller is fantastic bloke, his family helps him ship the products including older teenagers, it's a family business and they do all possible to create a great experience for the buyer.

    Delivery is fast. After sales service is legit in the event you have any issues. I don't recall the masks ever being this cheap. Glad to see you post Joe and wish you well. If you get on these masks - you'll not regret it.

    • Best mask on the market are the 3m ones, and its not even close. Most wouldnt have tried them because they were restricted to healthcare only for some time.

      • I've tried some genuine 3M ones and they are good. I personally like the AMD more but I think it comes down to personal choice - I like the comfort of the AMD when I'm travelling, works for me but yeah indeed the 3M are good. Problem is as you said - most don't realise they are wearing fake 3Ms which have saturated the market over recent years.

        • If you like the AMD more, you haven't tried genuine 3m. Like I said, it's not even close, especially in terms of 3m's foam comfort bar across most of the mask that moulds really well, and the dual wide, soft head straps (basically thick elastic bands) with long fabric lead tabs on the side. You can forget you're wearing it.

          These ones : https://www.3m.com.au/3M/en_AU/p/d/v101276076/

          • @[Deactivated]: Yep. Had a few and they were good. I found them hot for me after awhile..Too hot. Comfortable though. It's possible my memory isn't being kind enough in terms of the weather on those particular days. I was in SE Asia at the time though I had sourced mask in OZ. Absolutely no reason why what you are saying might not be 100% correct. Could be weather rather than wearer. 🙂
