I "think" that I've solved the issues that I was having. The source of the issue is 1) length of DP cable and 2) quality of DP cable. I went through a dozen different cables to get this sorted. I found that the limit is 2m - no more. But I also use a small DP extension cable, essentially...

I've got the AOC 3440x1440 (same panel as the LG UM95 apparently). I also have a 980Ti (gigabyte G1) but am still running windows 7. Experiencing issues with DP 1.2. Did you update your cable/drivers?

Hi there - did you get answers to your key questions in this post? I am also experiencing issues - particularly with the displayport 1.1 and 1.2 flickering that exists. I saw a few posts elsewhere whereby people were investigating a firmware update, but I haven't read that anyone received...

Sounds like a plan.. thanks :)

Thanks tbob22.. It seems likely that I'm going to be heading into murky waters with this :( I have the processor - I'll see if it overclocks "at all" before looking into cooling.. I was looking into the H100i - but I think I'll hold off before putting more into the money pit! Is there any...

I'm with you, I did a few more searches and it seems that I should be fine installing this cooler. The big problem (potentially) however is my motherboard. Do the Xeon 5670's overclock well on a Gigabyte EX58-UD5 rev1 motherboard?

Thanks for your thoughts on this. There is some information on the Noctua site that says that the air cooler (NH-U12P SE2) can't be installed due to the difference in mounting points - for the 5500 series xeons. Thoughts? Do the 5500 xeons have different mounting points than the 5670's? I...

Thanks for your comments Hazard, Bil24 - My 5670 arrived today and my RAM is on its way! Has anyone use a Noctua U12P SE2 on the Xeon 56xx chips? The details on the web seem a little ambiguous.

Killerxp100, primetime Thanks for the feedback :) I presently have a triple channel kit (RAM): Corsair 6GB DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Ram. Reading the specs of others here - I presume 6GB RAM doesn't cut it these days.. what is considered sufficient for gaming and light desktop work? I...

Hi all, Would be great to receive some advice. I presently have an i7 920 overclocked to 3.8Ghz on a Gigabyte EX58-UD5 rev1 mobo and Corsair 6GB DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Ram. I’ve read about 15 pages from the start of this thread and the last 5, dating from this time last year to the present...
