Well I bit the bullet and ordered a Dell U2711 27" jobbie,should be here Monday.My new rig is here already and working great....just hotswapped in my old HDD's and now have 6 HDD's sitting in there transferring old data onto the new 2TB HDD (Fear not,they shall be removed once the data is...
Still gonna have the 21" NEC as a socondary monitor of course.
Or what would you recommend to make the most of those gfx cards?
For an extra £100 I can get a Iiyama PLB2712HDS-B 27-inch LCD (the 24" is backlit LED).......I just get the feeling that 27" may be too big as I'm only sitting...
Nope,this is going to be a totally new build .....24" monitor included,I toyed with the idea of a 27" monitor but I'm pretty sure that would be too big considering I'm only sitting 2ft away from it,maybe even 18" away.
Well my choices were between a Corsair 800HX or a 1500w Thermaltake ....I decided on the 800w but then was talked out of it.I know it doesn't need 1.5kw but it seems silly to use the 800w for 2 x GTX850's and have to run the PSU close to max.
I'm old enough to remember saving up to buy the 500k memory card for the Commodore Amiga A500 ....If memory serves me right it was £200 - £250,can't comment on A1000's (I remember the A1200,was the A1000 the ones with the internal HDD? )
Try removing each fan in turn,might be a bad fan affecting the mobo fan controller/power.
Always better to take a component out of a faulty system and try it on a known working one as Pete suggests.If the PSU is what fragged the fans then adding a known working fan to that system could easily...
Going from a 21" (or is it 20.1"? I forget now tbh) NEC Multisync20WGX2 to a 24" BenQ G2420HDBL.I'll be using the NEC as secondary monitor.
Now I've been happy with most things on the NEC apart from a "cascade" of shadows (burn?) that's been creeping down and along from the very top right...
Busy building my new rig and getting a GOOOOOD deal from a supplier of parts but limited to what he has in stock.
I'm building:
Corsair Obsidian Series 800D case
Watercooled CPU block
360 rad +3 fans,pump,750 res etc
8GB Corsair Dominator GT with DHX and Airflow Fan (If I go for 4 cores)
2 x...
2 x GTX580's watercooled and in SLI OR 1 x GTX590 watercooled?
I ask because I've just noticed that the Asus Maximus IV xtreme has 2 x PCie 16x but they only work x8 x8 with 2 cards.
I'm wondering how big an effect running a dual card x16 over 2 cards at x8 x8 will have? Will it be...
My friend just did an upgrade for a client and got to keep the old Asus maximus formula as part payment.He can't use the mobo but could use his old cpu on my Asus P5-KC mobo so offered me a straight swap.
Anyone got any suggestions as to whether it's a good swap,better than my current mobo...
