Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
With all of the other boards, the USB was "flaky". Sometimes my keyboard won't work while POSTing (to get into BIOS), sometimes Windows would show driver errors for USB devices, sometimes the system would wake from keyboard, sometimes not, completely random.
I'm using a Thermalright silver...
I looked at the Z170 boards as well, but they don't work for my needs. I need a boatload of RAM, as much CPU as possible and enough pci-e lanes to run 2-3 video cards without bottlenecks. Now, this is not gaming or anything, but the cards are driving six 4K (Benq BL3201PHs) monitors right now...
Well, after having had a frustrating month of exchanging boards at the local Microcenter, finally settled on the OC Formula (which they don't carry, so had to order from Newegg).
I needed a board that would handle atleast 64GB RAM, and atleast two video cards and be rock solid stable (trading...
You're quite right. When I played with those monitors at his house, I "thought" I'd be ok with using that sized 4K display with no scaling in Windows, however, I did not get as much time with them as I'd have liked. In addition, when we played with them, they were setup sub-optimally since we're...
You guys are absolutely right, a 960 could probably be enough, but quite frankly, I'd much rather get the 4GB VRAM, and the 960s don't come with that (which may change shortly, but another story as such). I don't mind spending the extra $100 or so for that.
As far as compatibility goes, I've...
Not disagreeing. But I need more screen real estate than a single 4K monitor. And two 40"... :) Not gonna work. And with a 40" center monitor, adding additional (smaller) monitors on the sides becomes too wide a field of view.
27" 1440p is certainly not small for me. In fact the LG 25" 2560x1080 is also not small for me (no scaling), which is why I was potentially considering the 27" 4K.
Yes, I really do not want to use scaling at all per se, but if I have to compromise a bit, I will. Also, (hopefully) reducing the...
That's what I have in the "middle" of my configuration right now (with additional monitors on the sides). Three LG 25" 21:9 (2560x1080) monitors stacked horizontally, one on top of each other. While they are usable, they are a little too high vertically.
They give me 2560x3240 in the middle...
