    My NZXT Kraken X60 experience

    Sorry for the necro, but man what a difference the thermal compound makes. Also, due to the shitty Kraken software (it goes by coolant temp, not CPU temp), I just decided to hook up the fans to the motherboard and control them through AI suite. I just applied some AS5 after removing the...

    My NZXT Kraken X60 experience

    Just checked, and yeah it's still on in the BIOS. What I did change however was my power management setting. I changed it from balanced to performance, which is what I did with every PC (my previous PC is sitting at 26C on air overclocked...). So I just changed it back to balanced and set the...

    My NZXT Kraken X60 experience

    Problem is, I have no idea how I could have screwed up the inital seating. It's pretty straightforward. You line up the screws, and then screw them down in an "X" pattern. I'd tighten them by hand until I could give it one more twist past all the way screwed since tightening it too much could...

    My NZXT Kraken X60 experience

    I wish I knew how people were getting such low idle temps with an overclocked CPU. With an i5-4670k at stock, my idle temps are always between 35C - 38C in a room that's always between 20C - 22C. I replaced the stock fans with some Noctuas as well, and what's crazy is that it doesn't seem to...

    Asus VG23AH: The 1st Semi-Glossy IPS Panel?

    New panel arrived today. It still has some uniformity issues as well as backlight bleed, but it's still a pretty significant improvement over the first panel; and I'm no longer having issues with the entire left third of the screen being much brighter than it should be on virtually every scene...

    Your thoughts on 4K vs. 1440p/1600p

    That isn't what the article said at all. It's talking about how it's physically impossible for you to actually notice that kind of resolution on a standard sized (30 - 55 inch) television at a normal viewing distance above 1080p. Many people claim that it's almost impossible for most people to...

    Your thoughts on 4K vs. 1440p/1600p

    That's interesting. Here's an article on why 4K for the home is completely ridiculous. http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-33199_7-57366319-221/why-4k-tvs-are-stupid/

    Asus VG23AH: The 1st Semi-Glossy IPS Panel?

    This is probably what most people are complaining about. http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-33199_7-57437344-221/active-3d-vs-passive-3d-whats-better/

    Best Discounted 2012 TV Before 2013 models come out

    Exactly. I do all of my movie viewing in a darkened environment, and in THX mode, there's practically no eye strain; or at least it's nowhere near comparable to what you'd get with even a decently calibrated PC monitor/typical LCD tv in a room without biased lighting.

    I think I'm having a reaction to viewing 3D, but I'm not sure.

    This might sound really strange, and I don't know if it's simply an after effect or what, but after spending about ten hours (off and on) toying around with my new, and first 3D monitor, I am now seeing images that appear to "pop" out much more than I did previously in just 2D mode. It doesn't...

    Asus VG23AH: The 1st Semi-Glossy IPS Panel?

    Got an RMA for a Rapid Replacement, so now all they need to do is check to see that they have this particular model in stock. Otherwise, they will simply have to "fix" this display. Is it even possible for them to manually fix what seems like a common manufacturing defect? Anyway, here's...

    Asus VG23AH: The 1st Semi-Glossy IPS Panel?

    Don't have a mini HDMI adapter yet, so it's still DVI. Blacks are not the problem at all. In fact, the blacks of this very forum look absolutely fantastic...except in the corners. I read what you said about Trace Free, and I did set it to 0 when using 3D, but I honestly didn't test it long...

    Asus VG23AH: The 1st Semi-Glossy IPS Panel?

    I just got mine two days ago, and it has pretty fantastic out of box colors, and is very fast for a non 120hz screen. The problem is that it has THE WORST backlight bleeding I have ever witness in a monitor bar none. It's not IPS glow either. My 2290wa had very slight (practically...

    Question about 16:10 vs 16:9 when increasing FOV

    Does anyone else still use a 16:10 monitor, and do they ever get really strange looking models if they adjust the FOV beyond 80? In just about every game where I've increased the FOV, the actual terrain looks great for the most part, but round objects like a moon (Borderlands) does this really...

    Terraria

    Looks like a cross between Dig Dug and The Adventure of Link.
