For my birthday I bought the xb271HK and while it's an amazing gaming monitor, I can't help but worry about the backlight bleeding. I can't post any pictures right now but the backlight bleeding looks somewhat likes this:

Does anybody know if the bx300 SSDs from Crucial are as good as people are making them to be? I'm looking for an SSD for gaming mostly and also 3D rendering. It seems from this review that the bx300 performs on par against the samsung 850 evo. Amazon has the bx300 480gb model for $140 which is...
I'm using the NH-C14S in one of my test benches and it's pretty good. It's very quiet with one fan installed.

I'd go with either a gtx 1060 or RX580/570. Whichever card you go with can handle 1080p games fine.

Can someone explain to me why Ryzen performs better at 1440p versus 1080p in gaming? I have been seeing this in a lot of reviews lately and it seems that Ryzen performs better when there's less stress on the CPU.

Consider yourself very lucky OP. I have been trying to find an an IPS monitor without backlight bleed and apparently, they don't exist because they all have backlight bleed. I bought this AOC AG271QG monitor two weeks ago and the backlight bleed was horrible so they sent me another one. The...
This. The Skylake iGPU is so far behind AMD's APUs that it's not even funny. Intel really needs to catch up.

If you don't care about the CPU performance then get the A10-7870K. I have one in my brother's rig and it can play games pretty good.

Have you guys seen this? the X4 845 has pretty good multi thread performance for $60. I don't know if I should get one for my son since the FM2+ socket is dead.

Guru3d has the nh-d15 performing the same as the original H110 and beating the H100i Max Mode by 3c. This just proves that AIOs are simply not worth it.

This review has the nh-d15 benchmarked against the h100i gtx, nepton 240, kraken x61, deep cool captain 240, thermaltake water 3 and it seems like the nh-d15 did pretty well. It's much quieter than all the closed loop coolers but loses against the kraken x61.
Anybody here uses an NH-D15? Are...
My NH-D15 finally arrived and I have been so busy testing it and comparing it to my nh-d14. So for the most part it seems that most reviewers are correct. The NH-D15 is about give or take 2-3c cooler than the NH-D14.
I tested it on my 4770K @ 4.7Ghz @ 1.31v.

For some reason I think the Gentle Typhoon AP-30 are better than these industrialppc fans though we still need to see some reviews done against the AP-30. I purchased my D15 on Amazon two days ago so it should be here tomorrow. Can't wait to get that baby up and running!
Noctua tends to spend a lot of money on packaging with their products which I think it's pointless. I'd rather have the product be $5 less and come with a cheap packaging than spend that extra $5 on a premium packaging.

am I the only one who loves the new color scheme? I wanna get some of these bad boys but they are kinda expensive for me. So what do you about these new fans BonzaiDuck?
For some reason, I'm more excited about these fans than I was when they announced the NH-D15. I plan on replacing all of my fans in my case with the new NF-A14 PPC 3000RPM Fan. I can't wait to see some reviews on the 3000rpm and 2000rpm models.
They are making a 200mm fan. Noctua said that they...
I remember reading it somewhere in this review that the NH-D15 is 10 mm taller than the NH-D14.

Honestly, I think you could get more performance out of the D15 than what these reviewers are getting. The NF-A15 PWM fans that ship with the D15...
This review shows the NH-D15 beating the TC14PE and NH-D14 by 2 Celsius and beating the H100i with 3 Celsius difference.

I thought the same thing when I had the Hyper 212+ but when I bought the NH-D14, I realized how small the Hyper 212+ actually is compared to the D14. The NH-D15 should be even bigger than the D14.
I think it's safe to say that anyone who has a NH-D14 will not feel like they need to upgrade to the D15. I think I will just buy two NF-A15 PWM fans and call it a day.
If I were shopping for a CPU cooler now, I'd personally go with the Phanteks TC-TC14PE just because it's $25-30 cheaper and offers about the same performance as the D14/D15. On a different note, all I want from Noctua is those damn active noise cancellation fans!!!
My H100i leaked on me about a year ago and it was a disaster. My mobo and GPU basically went down the toilet. Good thing I was using a cheap AMD system so it didn't bother me all that much. But yeah, now I'm done with water cooling.
I remember reading somewhere that the D15 was going to come with active noise cancellation and it was supposed to be a game changer. I mean Noctua has equipped the D15 with two NF-A15s which are a big step up from the old fans on the D14 but the a.n.c thing was supposed to be huge in terms of...
It's finally here!!!! Noctua just unleashed the beast!

EDIT: This review has the majority of the premium coolers tested against the NH-D15. It shows the NH-D15 beating the TC14PE, Silver Arrow SB-E...
Replace those Corsair fans for Noctua fans such as the NF-S12A PWM or NF-A14 PWM and you will be good to go. Corsair fans are loud which is why I don't run them in my build.
