    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    This review is spot on and I can vouch for all the observations: - 240hz mode is indeed night and day beyond a 60hz or better IPS monitor - The backlight bleed is indeed very situational, not noticable on blacks, more visable on paler tones - Constast level once calibrated adds huge depth...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    Rest assured - I'll be taking good care of her abd, unless she breaks, it'll be my last panel based on LCD technology (unless OLED makes it to PC monitors and is any good). Future purchases would have to be based on Surface-conduction electron-emitter display (SED) or Field Emission Display...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    eBay - and it was a single auction item too unfortunately :-( It seemed to be someone's RMA return or replacement but the panel is near as perfect! Yup - I seem to have been very lucky (which makes a change as I'm usually one of those that would get a crummy one!) on the panel lottery game...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    Hi folks, I've just registered here and I recently bought an Eizo Foris FG2421 and wanted to share my feedback. For a reference point, I have come from a Hazro HZ26wi (26" IPS, 16:10 ratio, 1200p, wide colour gamut) screen (good review on tftcentral). Firstly a short break-down: - No dead /...

    Watercooling nighmare after dropping down to 10mm OD tubing!! (high temps)

    Thanks for all your help guys....I can't get the CPU to go over 38oC whilst playing games even for long sessions so I'm very happy overall :) I did test using Coretemp and Orthos for 2 hours and it reached 54oC but then dropped straight away to 38oC again once finished so I'm pleased with...

    Watercooling nighmare after dropping down to 10mm OD tubing!! (high temps)

    @ Spine - you are definitely right....that part that you highlighted (really well I might add!! :)) I think was definitely the issue; I have a long bend in it's place now that is fairly slack and seems to have really made a difference; i'll post some pics on the weekend so you can see. I had...

    Watercooling nighmare after dropping down to 10mm OD tubing!! (high temps)

    @ Surin - nice overclock....I had my E6600 hit 3.6ghz and get into windows for the first time; evidence that the chipset cooling is doing it's job :) However - I cannot get it to run Orthos for more than 5 mins without crashing (and that was at 1.55v vCore...don't really want to go any higher)...

    Watercooling nighmare after dropping down to 10mm OD tubing!! (high temps)

    Hi guys! Great news...temps have dropped a lot; a big thank you to everyone that offered advise on this. I took the mosfets out of the loop completely (put some passive heatsinks on for now that aren't getting too warm at the moment), removed the 4x 90o bends around the CPU area away and...

    Watercooling nighmare after dropping down to 10mm OD tubing!! (high temps)

    Awesome advice guys...many thanks. I think I might swap out the mosfets with some passively cooled ones, make a loop does not use 90 bends and just connects the CPU/chipset blocks up and see what that does to the temps. I'll let you know what happens after I make the changes and might post...

    Watercooling nighmare after dropping down to 10mm OD tubing!! (high temps)

    Hi Xerran...thanks for the nice comments.....I've seen neat setups using compression fittings before which inspired me to this build. I was using 1/2" ID tubing before (great flow, nice and secure with jubilee clips but a bit bulky) and have used 10/8 push-fit connectors (never again!!! -...

    Watercooling nighmare after dropping down to 10mm OD tubing!! (high temps)

    Thanks for all the advice guys...really helpful! Here's an update: CPU block I've re-mounted the CPU block and made sure there is a decent tension on all the springs but this doesn't make any difference. I think the problem is going to be the circuit (I love the Y-piece parallel...

    Watercooling nighmare after dropping down to 10mm OD tubing!! (high temps)

    Hi Xilikon, thanks for the quick reply. I thought the same; maybe the heat is building up by that first 90 degree bend coming out of the CPU?

    Watercooling nighmare after dropping down to 10mm OD tubing!! (high temps)

    Hi folks, Wondering if you can shed any light on this situation, I've included some pictures of my new setup for reference. Here's my current setup: Hardware: CPU: Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.4Ghz Mobo: Asus P5N32-E Sli Plus RAM: 2GB GeiL PC6400 4-4-4-12 Graphics: x2 8800 GTX in Sli...
