    4K - 28" Dell P2815Q

    This monitor is going to make me go back to SLI/CF. I was just starting to enjoy the benefits of a single card and everything just working and being super smooth. The bigger question for me though is 120Hz 1080 or 4K @ 60 hz. Decisions decisions....

    Obligatory "Best PC exclusive of 2013" thread

    Fair point, but to be honest, since we are talking about PC exclusives, add together every COD title on steam and it may hit 100K concurrent, 1/5th the average day of Dota. And Ghosts is shamefully low for being the latest greatest COD. Also i think player count has to at least be considered...

    Dark Souls is on Steam

    i just picked up Dark Souls in the last steam sale and want to give it a go. Quick question though, are you guys using the DSfix still or have updates fixed most of the launch problems?

    Obligatory "Best PC exclusive of 2013" thread

    PC Exclusive GOTY 2013 has to be Dota 2. Just looking at player numbers alone you could add every other PC exclusive this year together and not touch Dota 2 in concurrent player count. Not to mention the huge reception this years international had and its impact on e-sports. On top of...

    Swiftech H220 high speed ticking

    Unfortunately the h220 is known for this particular problem. Overclock.net has a dedicated forum for the H220 and quite a few people have reported this problem. I am personally on my third unit and this ones been running great (Fingers crossed lol) The upside is Swiftech has acknowledged it as a...

    At what screen size does 1080P looks best?

    Sorry, i should have clarified that it is greatly dependent on how far you sit from your monitor. Overall though the smaller the screen the more crisp the image will be, you just have to decide how much screen re-estate you are willing to sacrifice for clarity. To me 24" is the sweet spot, i...

    Swiftek H220

    If you are already in a push / pull setup, your not going to see much difference temp wise going from fan to fan. maybe a degree or something but nothing that's going to take you from "your CPU sucking temp wise" to being acceptable. What CPU are you running at what speed?

    Looking for an excellent 23" Gaming Monitor

    Not sure what type of gaming you do, but have you considered 120Hz monitors? You can pick up a ASUS VG248QE 24-Inch 144Hz monitor for exactly $250 on amazon. The color quality may not be up to IPS standards, but i have used both and the clarity of gaming at 120Hz + Lightboost (to me atleast)...

    Finally upgraded - Windows 8 to Windows 7, a gamers point of view

    I have been running windows 8 since launch day without a problem. Started on an I7 920 and moved to a 4770k. As somebody who also purchased Vista on launch day, i can say that Windows 8 is perfect in comparison. Vista at launch had (for me atleast) all the problems that you brought up with...

    Has anyone delidded Haswell yet?

    i delidded my 4770K using the vice + hammer method from overclock.net. I was really surprised how easy it was. A couple light hits (nothing more than the weight of the hammer from about 6 inches) and the adhesive broke loose enough to lift the chip off the ihs. Personally i don't trust myself...

    For those who bought Haswell. Was it what you expected?

    My 920 was clocked at 3.8, for the first couple years i had it at 4.2 stable, but over time either it or my H50 started to degrade, haven't been able to get it back to 4.2 for the last couple months. Overall i would agree with what you guys are saying though, sure in Cinebench, or Vantage my...

    U2412M or U2413 for Triple Monitor Setup?

    http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_u2413.htm The first part explains some differences between them, 6 bit vs 8 bit panel etc. For surround / eyefinity i would go with the u2412m's and use the money you saved for another 7970, depending on what games you play double the FPS is going...

    For those who bought Haswell. Was it what you expected?

    I finally decided to retire my launch I7 920 from my main rig. I would definitely say it was worth it for me. The processor itself is significantly faster than my 920, upgrading has even allowed my 580's to stretch their legs a bit more. On top of the CPU increase getting a new feature rich...
