I have a set of CMK16GX4M4B3200C15 with a Asus Z170-A, I have it running at 3200 stable. I just had to set System Agent voltage to 1.25 and VCCIO to 1.20 to achieve it.

I'm not certain who posted the info but I found it here. https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/comments/3g3t5z/skylake_overclocking_guide_from_asus/

I was wrong, it was the CPU crashing, I thought I had turned it back to stock but it was still an unstable OC. After that the ram passed realbench with XMP on, but I still have to give 1.25 to SA and 1.20 VCCIO to get it to post.

I have a set of CMK16GX4M4B3200C15 with a Asus Z170-A that wouldn't post after I switched on XMP. To get it to post with XMP I had to increase the system agent voltage and the vccio. Per the Asus overclocking guide. "VCCIO/System Agent voltage are both important for memory clocking. 1.25V...

concrete-core chokes and hardened MOSFETs

It's working great here. It's the monitor to get if you want bigger than a 24" with high frames and a single Nvidia graphics card. One thing to note like Colonel Sanders said sitting close to it there is faint horizontal banding, though I sit about 3ft away and don't notice it from that distance.

I picked up one of these about a month ago from newegg business for about $550. Coming from 3x HP ZR24 IPS in eyefinity and I have been impressed and I am totally satisfied with the Acer. Mine has no dead pixels, backlight bleed or clouding. The picture is great and there is none of the...

I ordered one of those Ref Asus 980's yesterday from Directron. Just got shipping confirmation but they charged me the full amount without the 10% discount. I had selected the option to not ship if the 10% wasn't available so I gave them a call and they said they would refund the $54 to my...

This is my first and last crossfire setup as well.. still waiting on the Rage crossfire fix, haven't even played it yet because of that. And now xfire negative scaling on a release like Skyrim, you'd think with how popular the game is they'd be ready for this.

Hayden over at widescreen gaming forums made a tool to enable surround and the ability to modify fov. http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=23645&start=30 Works great for me.

I had just the opposite experience. Tried switching over to console gaming briefly after PC gaming for 15 years and it just doesn't do it for me. I don't really like most of the games (too simple) and the low framerates bothered me. Built a new PC and happy again while my consoles collect dust.

I'll never stop using a desktop PC. Console games suck and mobile devices don't have the power or screen size to satisfy.

Yep, Bioshock was pure crap compared to SS2. Was so excited to play it when they called it the spiritual successor and when I played it.... man what a disappointment. I think Bioshock is the only game I actually threw away after only owning it for a week.

Console FPS.....LOL. I can't even say it with a straight face it's such a ridiculous concept.

ROFL, they aren't fooling anyone.
