    Are these temps reasonable (4790k)?

    Both the Fans and Pump on the h100i can operate at higher speeds. I'll re-test tonight with a different, more aggressive, cooling profile. The radiator is mounted horizontally at the top of my case (Fractal Design R5), the fans are "pushing" out through the radiator to vent out the top of the...

    Are these temps reasonable (4790k)?

    Hi, I've never once in my life overclocked a CPU, but I finally decided I want to give it at try. I bought a used 4790K and MSI Z97 Gaming 5 mobo from a guy on reddit, and I picked up a Corsair H100i GTX from NewEgg to cool it. Originally the H100i seemed loose, so I removed it and put some...

    Does a monitor like this exist? (Glossy, 1440p, DisplayPort, decent refresh rate)

    So the Fury X came up for sale at a price I couldn't resist, so it's heading this way as I type this. Currently I'm driving 2 Glossy Korean 1440p Dual Link DVI monitors with an R9 290x. OC'd to 96 hz stable and generally loving life Since the Fury X doesn't have any DVI ports, I've been...

    Suggestions for a case for ITX Router with PCIe support

    Sorry, I guess I may be coming across a bit obstinate. I should have also mentioned that I'd like to have more than 2 interfaces, since I'd like to segment off some public facing services on their own subnet. My plan is to use the single realtek onboard for this, and get a dual port pcie card...

    Suggestions for a case for ITX Router with PCIe support

    FWIW I do actually have service comparable to google fiber. Fiber to the home is provided by the public utility here. :)

    Suggestions for a case for ITX Router with PCIe support

    The Dual NIC boards I've seen (that Gigabyte included) have been based on Realtek chipsets. From what I've been able to gather on the pfsense forums Realtek NICs don't offer the best performance.

    Suggestions for a case for ITX Router with PCIe support

    I'm looking at building a fanless Mini-ITX Router based on a Celeron J1900. I need help finding a case that can accommodate the use of a PCIe NIC. I don't mind using a flex riser to mount the card sideways, but I can't even find a case that can do that. Additionally, I would strongly prefer...

    Monitor/TV advice

    In order to get 60 fps at 4K with full 4:4:4 color you need a real HDMI 2.0 connection (which even many 4k TVs seem to not have) or a DisplayPort connection to your monitor/tv. The Radon R9 290x has HDMI 1.4, so in order to be able to drive more than 30fps you'd have to connect with...

    JVC LT-42UE75

    JVC LT-42UE75 So I noticed this TV is crazy cheap. Is it too much to hope that it could do 4K @ 60hz and 4:4:4 ? I haven't seen any mention of HDCP support on its single HDMI 2.0 port, so I'm hopeful. But at its price it seems too good to be true?

    Seiki SE50UY04 3840x2160 50" TV ($1300)

    My Answers: 1. No. I solely use my 39" Seiki as a computer monitor so a single input is all I need 2. Yes, see answer to #1 3. Not a deal breaker by any means, but a "nice to have" would certainly be to have the display support DPMS for sleep/resume. Again, not a deal breaker by any stretch...

    Problems with my old Gateway laptop..

    Ahoy friends. I have a rather strange problem with my Gateway 450 ROG laptop. I know it's a dinosaur, but the real truth is if I could get it working 100% it would still be more than what I need from a mobile computer. Outside of having to buy a new battery for it a few years ago the thing...

    Upgrading from single core to dual core. But I have a question.

    Hello everybody. I have been using an Athlon 64 3000+ Venice cpu for the past few months, and while I love it the time has come to upgrade yet again. I ordered an Athlon X2 4800+ Toledo and am expecting it to arrive this evening via UPS. My question is, would you guys recommend doing a...
