The AOC AGON series AG322qx is a new 32 inch curved VA panel for dark blacks and low light bleed runs at 144z and is 2560x1440 giving it the same pixel pitch as 1920x1080 at 24 inch. Meaning if you have decent eyes you don;t have to mess with DPI scaling. The monitor supports freesync and...
I have a lot of experience with this monitor before leaving it for 144hz as imo 1920x1080 gaming at 144 fps and 144hz monitor refresh is a superior experience to gaming at 2560x1600 and 60hz 60 fps but for pro graphics work yea the dell is the gold standard. I Also prefer VA panels over IPS as...
I am putting off my PC build till pci-e 4.0 and building a NAS instead. I see some new motherboards supporting 5gbps ethernet ports now. I know the router must support 5 gbps and the nas must support it as well. I basically need a router with 3x 5gps ports and 3x 1gbps ports and I need a nas...
That's a shame tho every watt counts every tenth of a degree counts. Kaby lake offered such little improvements they could of at least bumped the chipset up to offer a little something more for upgraders. Heck they had to artificially limit optane to kaby lake to try to make it seem like...
yea i know 8x usb 3.1 gen 1 4x usb 2.0 2x usb 3.1 gen 2 + 2x more usb 3.1 gen 2 via header and 2x more usb 3.0 via header and 4x more usb 2.0 via header is way too little. That's only 14 useable ports + 8 more but only if your case supports all that realistically the case will support 2x 3.0 and...
Are they still using the 22nm process the used on the z170 chipset or did they move it to the 14nm+ node? Seems intel has a habit of making their chipsets on the previous larger node. What is there reason for this? Is it due to using up all the capacity on processors or is it just to give them a...
its 700 dollars for a 5.2ghz binned 7700k. I think like 680 than+ 50 to delid so 730 total. I would rather buy a 6850k thats soldered on and have a 6 core and 40 pci-e lanes than pay for that one. People gotta be stupid to do that.
It;s like 65% success rate on 5.0 ghz according to silicon...
What's so strange about overclocking and keeping the pc long. I'm 33 years old and i still have my first PC I bought with my own money an athlon and it still works. Every PC I've ever built they all still work it's incredibly rare for a cpu to fail. I've literally never seen it happen.
I'm...
I think I may give this monitor a go. The contrast ratio is superb and the quantum dots should really make the colors nice. I actually prefer higher frame rate 1080 vs 1440 for gaming, so I don't mind the full hd resolution.
I also forgot to add what is the compatible refresh range for freesync on this monitor as the ranges can differ from monitor to monitor and I cannot find this information for this specific monitor. Also I just had a chat with some indian guy from samsung tech support and he was retarded. I asked...
If they have nowhere left to upgrade (find that very doubtful, can always add more storage) buy a surf and turf dinner. Even that's more enjoyable than annoying lights distracting ur peripheral vision while looking at a monitor.
Yeah basically i only buy psu's with 10 year warranties. If they back it with a 10 year warranty they are confident the psu is going to perform. They would go out of business on returns if the psu's were crap and died b4 the warranty was up and 90%+ of every sold psu was returned. I consider a...
You don't need to see fans to know if they broke. If your temps go higher than they usually are you check the fans. If a fan breaks and your temps don't change then it won't matter if you dont notice it till your yearly dust cleaning. It's just pointless to spend extra on lights and tempered...
Yea as long as i can hit 5ghz and max out in the 70's I'm happy with that. Thats crazy 680 dollars for a 5.2ghz 7700k. For 700 I might as well get 6 core 6850k with 40x pci-e. Plus those are soldered on and can probably OC to like 4.8ghz no prob. Serious retards spending that on a 7700k for an...
If they are available in your country the EVGA G1 series is quality and affordable. Like 80 dollars for 650 watt 80+ gold 10 year warranty full modular 4x 6+2 pci-e
What does a minivan have to do with anything. If anything that would be the exact opposite of practical unless you have 5 kids or something. If you want to look like an idiot that wasted money on led lights and tempered glass be my guest. I would rather put that money towards more nand flash, a...
So yea this monitor is only 1920x1080 but i don't really require 1440. Picture quality is more important to me and with 2560x1440 at 27 inches I have to use DPI scaling which really negates the resolution benefit and introduces problems. I need 30+ inches for that resolution. This monitor has...
Well Im not going to go as far as delidding and applying it right on the die. I will just thinly paint the IHS and that + a d15 should be enough to run 5ghz kaby lake comfortably. I don't think ill put so much that it drips off the IHS so nothing should short.
It wont fit with the asus 5.25" 2x usb 3.1 type c port add on. I require a new pc build to have 10gbps 100 watt front type c ports for future proofing. Also I'm not really liking the dozens of stories saying it leaks and pumps are known to go bad after a few years. And the nh d15s with 1 fan...
I think they are stupidly impractical for a PC build. Glass is not the quietest option. Solid panels with sound absorbing foam are quieter. They aren't the coolest cases either. Having your pc glow multi colors is an unneeded distraction. You aren't looking at the pc components when you are...
It supposed to be ok with nickel plated copper, I really don't plan on having to ever change the cpu. The generational performance increase is barely even existant and by the time the performance increases is worth it i will need a new mobo anyways. So I wouldn't mind if it permanently bonded...
OK, Well that makes things a lot easier. I've been installing big air coolers for years. Was kinda leaning that way anyways due to story after story of the predator leaking.
i find it fascinating that there is a man that actually married her despite the level of idiocy that is megyn kelly. I mean look how she spells megyn that is a red flag right there. I guess its true women only have to be pretty to be successful. They can be completely and utterly mentally...
I find with magnetic filters you have to blow the dust out MUCH less often. On my current PC I only have to blow it out once every 2 years and even after 2 years its a very fine mist of dust that gets blown out. I have a silverstone fortress ft02 on an lga 1366 i7-980x system with the 3x 180mm...
A static magnet actually can mess up the data stored on a HDD. But it has to be a very large magnet. I have personally corrupted a hard drives data with the HUGE magnet on the back of a 12 inch subwoofer. But this magnet weighed like 30 pounds. I also damaged a CRT TV from the magnetic field of...
The Asus UPD 3.1 panel is a neat 5.25" panel to use in place of an optical drive. It sports 2x USB 3.1 gen 2 ports and connects to the 10gbps sata express data ports on the motherboard giving you the full 10gbps rating of usb 3.1 gen 2. The really unique thing about this panel is you can also...
When applying this TIM do you paint the tim on the heat spreader only or do you paint it on the heat spreader and the base of the heatsink/waterblock as well?
My build is as follows.
Case: Fractal Design R5 , 2x 140mm front intake fans Fractal Venturi HF fans, 1X 140mm rear exhaust Fractal venturi fan
MoBo: Asus ROG IX Hero
CPU: i7-7700k with a hopeful overclock of 5Ghz+
CPU TIM: Coollaboratory Liquid Metal Ultra
Ram: Gskill Ripjaws V 2x8GB...
ok, yea 512GB just doesn't cut it if you want to install 50GB+ games on it and have them run at peak performance.
Guess that kills the hope of 2TB double sided m2 samsung ssd's when next v nand process ready.
I used yo be a believer of just buying the amount of ram that is more than enough for whats going on currently. But it seems ram use is growing at FAST paces. I recommend 2x16GB or 4x8GB in quad. You think 16GB is plenty but at the rate things are going if you can afford it 32GB is much safer.
assume i will get some BS PR dept response from them after taking the time to search for the correct contacts. So was hoping someone knew something I didn't.
My only guess is they are waiting for their next gen v-nand as to keep the 1TB version single sided for full ultrabook compatibility.
While 512GB is a decent enough space. I really need 1TB of space to install my OS, productivity Apps and other important apps, and the main chunk huge game installs. I want to keep locally needed media files (music/video/pictures) and such on a 2tb samung 850 sata drive.
The 1 i saw available...
As the title says looking for gpus that have the lifetime warranty when u mail in ur product registration within 30 days of buying it. Do any companies still offer that?
I will get right to it. I would like to know if getting a higher wattage power supply also gets you more watts till the fan kicks on. Corsair says the zero rpm fan mode works from a 0-30% load. So the conclusion I've come to is a 1200 watt psu would give you 360 watts before fan kicks in but a...
So I have a 7 bay nas filled with 3TB HGST NAS ssd's. I want to build a new 7 disc raid 5 array with double the size and less power and noise with the 6TB HGST He drives. I currently have a little over 14TB of data on the current 17TB or so capacity raid 5 array now.
I cant put the data on...
I am really looking for a board that has 2x ultra m2 slots each with pci-e 3.0 x4 connected to the cpu for a total use of 8 lanes, leaving me 8 lanes for a single gpu connected to cpu. I see skylake has updated the DMI and now you get pci-e 3.0 off the chipset so it is making it hard for me to...
Sad I missed this deal. 103 dollars for a decently fast 980mhz 290 with a chance to get really lucky and unlock an artificially crippled 290 back to a 290x. I woulda paid 103 for one of these to upgrade my pc from 5870 to r9 290 even tho I'm building a new pc for skylake-e I'll still have this...
No man only the fiji gpu's are going to use HBM. That's pretty much 99% sure. It's a brand new never been mass produced product that is going to need to keep up with the demand for 2 super fast gpus which are supposed to be faster than their nvidia counterpart. Also the fact that they upped the...
The 960 is the better card. They both are going to be able to run every game at 1080 ultra settings but the 960 does it with much less noise, heat, and wattage. The extra 10-20 bucks the gtx 960 costs vs the 280 will be made back in electricty saved over the lifetime of pc.
