I know it's a fault in the monitor. I have tested it on both my Home PC and my Work PC. Home it was connected to a R9 290X via HDMI @ 1080p. Work connected to integrated graphics with VGA @ 1080P. It has flickered frequently over the last couple of years, even sent in for a Warranty Repair for...

I ended up fitting an H100i in my Antec 300 on Christmas Eve when my Kuhler 920 pump decided to completely fail. Fitted it with 2 more SP120 PWM fans, so it's in a push-pull config. Works great! I had to pop/drill the rivets out of the 3.5" drive cage and get a 5.25 to 3.5" drive bay adapter for...

See sig for details on my rig. My current Antec Kuhler 920 is a few years old, and I've noticed it doesn't keep my CPU as cool as it used to. As I'm typing, at stock clocks and under-volting my CPU, my temps are high 40's to low 50's. http://i.imgur.com/6tuWilq.jpg I want to get a new AIO Water...

It's going to be about a month before I can order my new case and cooling...I've decided to go with a Corsair Carbide 540 and a Corsair H100i for my CPU cooling, debating whether or not I want to get a Corsair H80i to utilize Corsair Link, or just use my Antec Kuhler 920 on my GPU. I'll post...

The VRM2 heatsink is held on by the thermal pads, the VRM1 heatsink is secured down with a couple of screws. It looks pretty sturdy, and from what I've read VRM2 doesn't really even require a heatsink. I still need to upgrade my case before I think about adding another closed loop system. My...

Yes, sorry, I meant the 780Ti

I was just in your same situation...there was a guy local who was selling about 6 R9 290x's for $350 and I picked one up. Came from a 560ti, man what a difference!! I think the price point for the 290/290x is at the sweet spot right now, all the used 780's were $500+. If you can't wait for the...

I agree...I can run FFXIV maxed out at 1080p at stock clocks and my FPS doesn't dip below 60, at least from what I saw today. I was researching a bit more today, and saw the G10 bracket. I think I may use my current Antec Kuhler 920 for my GPU and upgrade my CPU Cooler to a dual 120mm variant...

I read about that before i bought it, i plan on installing a Gelid Icy Vision for cooling. It seems to be a good alternative to the jetstream of this thing.

This is what i bought. Currently formatting and installing win8.1.

Well the guy i met up with had a sapphire r9 290x for $360 so i bought that instead...cant wait to get home to install it!

Hey all! See my rig in my signature...I'm picking up a Sapphire Tri-X OC R9 290 today for $325. Next on my list to upgrade is my motherboard, but does anyone see any potential bottlenecks with my system? I mainly play FFXIV on my PC, as most of my gaming is done on my PS4 right now. I game at...
