    Dell U3415W and Asus PG348Q - Worth Upgrade?

    Thank you all for you input! I also find screen tearing and judder very distracting so this sounds like a good move. Hopefully my 980's will get the job done for a while longer :)

    Dell U3415W and Asus PG348Q - Worth Upgrade?

    So when I built my PC a while ago the Dell U3415W just came out and I ended up getting it. Been a lovely monitor but I've been gaming more and have been hearing how great higher refresh rate is with g-sync. I'm considering upgrading at this point to a new monitor and settled on the Asus PG348Q...

    ASUS GTX 980 STRIX DC II OC Video Card Review @ [H]

    Also very pleased with my Strix 980! I ended up taking off the stock cooler though and putting on the new EK Strix waterblock. VRM and GPU are very cool under load now and card is a solid overclocker.

    Upgrading - Raid card recommendation?

    Thanks for the info, the 1882i looks like the best bet for me. I especially like they included a fan, always had a problem with heat on LSI boards in the past.

    Upgrading - Raid card recommendation?

    I don't see myself going any higher than 6 drives, maybe 7 if I wanted to do a hot spare. Trying not to spend more than $700. Running win7 64bit. I havent read much on the Areca controllers, how about the arc-1882i?

    Upgrading - Raid card recommendation?

    I currently have an external sans digital raid enclosure with 5 seagate 3tb 7200rom drives in raid5 and connected via esata. It was mainly used to store larger files, cheap solution, but I recently consolidated some drives in my system and have been using the array for pretty much everything...

    PS3 2.20 Firmware Update Brings BD-Live

    I think I'm more interested to know if they included dts-hd:ma with this update. Anybody know?

    New to water

    If reseating the block didn't help and all the air is out of the loop it could be a problem with the IHS. Have you tried lapping it?

    Look what i found in Fuzion CPU block

    Looks like algae to me too... I've been using hydrx in my cpu loop for awhile now and haven't had that happen. Are you using any type of biocide?

    A reliable DDC pump... ever likely to happen?

    I've only had one ddc die on me but that was enough to make me replace them. I'm using 2 mcp655's now and they work great. Much better track record as well...

    What water "kit" for Q6600

    Check out some of the kits that Petra offers, www.petrastechshop.com. They include some of the better components out there and is really the only "kits" i would personally recommend. If you're just cooling the cpu you could get away with a 2x120 rad but if you're adding any other blocks you...

    BIOS Temps Accurate?

    Are those core temps at stock clocks on your cpu? If so then I would try reseating the block and if that fails you could always try lapping in case you have a chip with one of the bad IHS's. Otherwise if your running it with a decent amount of voltage those temps may not be wrong. I'm not...

    jumped in feet first. my stuff, and a quick question

    It's really not a problem if you need to make a longer tubing run. Just make sure your pump is below the micro res.

    hows this p180 Layout

    Is there a reason why you're mounting 3 120mm BIP's in there? Space concerns or something? The loop would be much less restrictive with say a PA120.3 or MCR320 and most likely perform better. You also have a micro-res and t-line? Are you using the t-line as a drain because you wouldnt really...

    How high do you think my w/c'ing setup will take a q6600?

    If the thermochill won't work than a mcr320 would be the next best choice. Much better with lower speed fans than the BIP rad's... You can add your vid card to the loop and still have decent temps although I wouldn't add any other blocks at that point. However lets say you went SLI at some...
