Cold Zero Backplates

Hello, I am thinking of ordering a backplate for my graphics card and Cold Zero seems to be the only place I can find one for my model. Does anyone have any experience with this company? They are in Portugal and I am getting it shipped to Canada. Thanks!

Should you be compensated for the GTX 970 issues and spec changes?

I purchased a MSI GTX 970 Golden and sold my reference 780ti. I realize they are on par performance wise and it was truly a side grade. However, I recently switched cases (full tower to mid tower) and the 780ti was getting loud and into the high 70s temperature wise. I chose the 970 for the...

Are you planning to buy a 4K monitor for gaming soon?

Just got a nice 27 inch 1440p display during the Black Friday sales. Next upgrade will be GPU as the newer games become more demanding. Very happy how the display is performing with my current setup.

Want to replace Logitech G500 with Optical mouse.

I went from a G500 mouse to a Logitech G400s optical. It was cheaper than the G500 new and I ended up recouping almost all of the cost for the G400s after reselling the G500. I noticed a slight increase in performance (precision in BF4)and it is very smooth and comfortable. It is a little bit...

NZXT H440 Owner's experience

Here are the results, although it has only been 1 day I am really liking it. I want to paint the SoundBlaster Z's Shroud. It seems to be a hard aluminium. Any suggestions for type of paint to use Tweakin? http://imgur.com/yelWdbU http://imgur.com/tk4IQGf http://imgur.com/zSF5UMa

I seem to remember my Asus Direct 2u top 280x having a switch on it that switched the bios( I think). It was recognized as a 9870 when I first installed it. I moved the switch and it was then recognized as a 280X. Does your 280X have a switch visible? I no longer have that card and can't...

Thanks! I will consider my options, I have never overclocked before, but I have an after market cooler and my friend OC'd it to 4 gigs with no issues for 2 years. I accidently put it back to factory while messing around with the AI suite. I will try to find a OC guide. Thanks again.:cool:
