I can confirm. Have a gigabyte g1 here with 2 noctua fans blowing. OC of 2100mhz core and 5505mhz memory running at 78C tops in heaven benchmark.

Have you considered rotating 16:9 monitors 90 degrees to give you that cherished vertical space?

IPS glow I don't mind, back light bleed is another story. Sorry, but backlight bleed is NOT normal. It is a result of shitty build quality.

Atrocious back light bleed QC problems from acer and asus. Eizo is insanely expensive. Gamer look that is not to everyone's taste. That's why we need more. No one is making the monitor properly yet. If someone were to make the monitor to those specs without worrying about back light bleed and...

I have a gigabyte gtx 1080 g1 gaming. Maxed out the power limit and temp limits. Boosts all the way to 2025mhz. With 100mhz offset, boosts to 2088mhz and runs ~78C. EDIT: Was able to push core to 2100mhz and memory to 5505mhz after more testing.

LG oled tvs from 2016. Done if you got the cash. Or dell's oled monitor.

Yeah check out the Dell OLED monitor. It's specs are right up your alley if you can pony up $5000!

Those would be your only choices. I'm going with ek's 100mm res + d5 revo pump combo hanging out the back.

The reason this all came up is I'm trying to figure out the best radiator that can fit in that side panel. So far it seems the gts is the one. It's going to be cooling a gtx 1070 and 6700k oc'ed as high as possible.

Thanks for the well thought out reply and putting things in perspective. I was also considering a radiator at the bottom of the case. The nemesis 240 gts with slim fans, but based on what you said about fans being pushed up against things, that would sound like a bad idea too. I guess just 1...

Yeah that was my original plan. However, I wanna get the biggest radiator I can that can fit in there in case I ever wanna switch to a bigger case and still have a good sized radiator and not have to buy another one.

In fact, there's evidence out there that suggests it makes zero difference. 1 8 pin, 2 8 pins, 1 8 pin + 1 6 pin, you're stuck at that 2.1ghz wall.

What I meant is the reference board with cheapo cooling non founders version.

Still waiting for someone to release a reference card at 379. EVGA way overpriced their cheapest option.

Hardware Labs Black Ice SR2 Multiport Black Carbon Radiator - 240mm by Hardware Labs (Black color) Will this radiator work in the side panel of the M1? Ncase website says max height is 85mm from side bracket to the power supply and 60mm is the recommended total with fans and radiator (I assume...

On top of that, it's actually an efficiency curve, not a set amount. Depending on the load, efficiency can vary.

Can confirm. SF600 here and no noise at all. Only hear the purr of my case fans. Nothing coming from PSU.

Yes to all your questions.

Intel 750 SSD fits fine. I have one and still has like 1mm clearance between front panel and SSD.

Was mounting bare die finicky? Did you have to compensate for the space difference from not having the IHS in place when mounting your heatsink/waterblock? How did you torque your waterblock on and not worry about crushing the die?

HT is off because the new intel pack is able to stress the real physical cores 100%. Having HT on doesn't do jack if all the resources being used by the physical cores are not available. That and the program bugs out and uses 2 cores and 2 hyperthreads instead of stressing out the entire cpu...

Hmmmm, now that I went back to read the posts, I guess I misinterpreted some posts. Sorry about the outrage. You do know what I mean though, when you read tons and tons of threads about delidding, there is always someone who will mention that it's Intel's "crappy TIM" that is at fault. I...

Wow.... Okay forget it, I already looked at it since the first time you linked it. Your link AGAIN just tells you how to delid and people posting up results, again, what's your point? In fact, your link even references back to MY links about the DETAILED information behind delidding. So I don't...

What are you trying to say? All thats in your link is info on how to delid and people posting up their results, whats your point?

Did those guys who try different TIMs control for gap distance like idontcare did? He tested a whole bunch of TIMs INCLUDING CLP/CLU, which does show an extra decrease in temps when normalizing all TIMs to the same gap distance. But the temps are NOT soley attributed to the TIM, it is also a...

Can people stop spreading bullshit about the "bad" compound that intel uses on the die? Delidding helps temps NOT because of a TIM swap. It helps because of the gap reduction between IHS and die! By delidding, you get rid of that black gunk and slather of TIM that is creating an offset between...

"Microsoft is not aiming at gamers, they`re aiming at everybody. And when you’re doing that, you really don’t want too much excentricities in aesthetics, because they’re polarizing: some will love it, most will hate it (see: Gaming rigs). and when you aim at everybody, you...

Has anyone tested the integrity of their die or heatsinks or IHS yet after applying CLU/CLP on their stuff? Gallium (CLU/CLP has this stuff in their metal alloy) is supposed to eat through aluminum oxide, allowing free aluminum to continue oxidizing and repeating the process, destroying the...

Did you even read the post above you? He pretty much explained to you what DVI and displayport does for you. Unless your output devices are outputting more than DVI can handle bandwitdh wise, displayport won't help because there is no bottleneck to clear.

My temps are crazy. I have a 4770k set at 4.3GHz at 1.200V. Left the uncore/cache core speed on auto (defaults to 39) and uncore/cache core voltage on auto also. Running IBT at maximum settings for 20 runs I get a max temp of 96C, Prime95 on large FFTs for 4hrs gives me 89C. Stable but those...

You can use this link as a guideline to see graphics performance broken down in tiers. It is just a general guideline, no details. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html

I ordered this heatsink and it will be here on the 24th. It's supposed to have an extremely tolerant ram clearance. You should check out Noctua's website for specs.

Being able to view all vital system stats without hunting around in different menus for them. That, and being able to customize what info you want to appear on the main page.

I scooped up a 4770k, Asus Maximus VI Gene, and 16GB of Crucial Ballistix Tactical LPs on Saturday. Love Microcenter!!! The $40 off on motherboard if purchased with the CPU is amazing. Got the motherboard for $169.99!

More time GAMING!!

From NorCal too? I'm hoping that when I go visit my sister in SoCal I can scoop up a board and prcoessor while I'm down there.

Yeah, I saw that. It is OOS.

Can't find the Maximus VI Gene anywhere, anyone know where to look?!

I can't find the Maximus VI Gene ANYWHERE!!!
