    CSL Elite Racing wheel compatibility with both PS4 and Xbox?

    so I exchanged few emails with Fanatec and sadly it is not possible to order the parts I need individually. For those who want to know the details: The PS4 compatibility is built-in the wheel base (the PS4 CSL Elite base is not the same base as the Xbox/PC base, it has additional Sony chip...

    CSL Elite Racing wheel compatibility with both PS4 and Xbox?

    Hello racing fan fellas, after the Win10 creator update making my old Logitech Formula Force EX useless in all games (even now in Dirt Rally which I played before the creator update and it worked perfectly there) I have decided to finally purchase a new wheel. I don't play too often so although...

    improving cherry mx backlight ideas

    Got a new cherry mx keyboard with illuminated keys (Tesoro Durandal Ultimate G1NL with Cherry MX brown and red lighting, regrettably ANSI layout but needed new keyboard fast and there are no mx brown iso keyboards available now) The lettering illumination is not that great for the localized...

    Got an i5-2500? Don't bother upgrading to a 4790

    wonder if things will be different when using 2 GPUs I want to get a new 3440x1440 monitor and I wasn't happy with the benefit of adding another 970 in my 2500k system so I wondered if my cpu is holding me back to get better performance out of the SLI setup my post from the 3440x1440...

    34" 21:9 UltraWide Displays (3440x1440) - LG UM95/UM65 & Dell U3415W

    tried the SLI 970 today and wasn't happy with the results at 1920x1200 still have my first 65% asic msi 970 which I need to return tomorrow - I wasn't happy with it and got another one with 75% which clocks a lot better so I am keeping that one anyway the results I got were really disappointing...

    34" 21:9 UltraWide Displays (3440x1440) - LG UM95/UM65 & Dell U3415W

    thinking of jumping on the LG UM95 with the Ergotron MX stand as well I prefer the sleek AOC design but since it has the same backlight bleed issues it is kinda lottery with both and apart from the stand there is nothing bothering me too much about the LG and the joystick menu looks like a...

    Fujipoly Extreme Thermal Pads anyone got an opinion?

    I used the phobya ultra 5w/mk and wasn't impressed the pads look like quality stuff (they were not cheap)...quite dense (not foamy), but still very soft...I have used 0.5 mm ones for vrams on my 6950/6970 with the reference heatsink....maybe there was not enough pressure and I should have used...

    Help me pick a modular 750W psu

    corsair PSUs are great, not going to make a mistake with one the hx750 which I have for few years (my friend recently bought the same one, they still sell that model) has 62A on a single 12v rail not sure what the PSUs are like today but at the time I was choosing mine the corsair had by far...

    which 7970 would you get?

    guess it has more oc potential due to better cooling, also comes granted with 1150 which not every 7970 can run stable guess it depends from card to card if you can go past 1150, most reviewed toxic samples did go to 1200+ but anandtech wasn't able to oc their card at all....if it runs cool...

    which 7970 would you get?

    decided to go for sapphire 280x toxic, the new series are actually cheaper here than the GHz 7970s...I can get the toxic a bit cheaper than the 797OC, also ordered it at a cheaper shop so I saved additional 50 usd by that...so the final price was 400usd which is a great price here compared to...

    what you think killed my card? (installing ZM-VF3000A,ZM-RHS69,PC-RHS2 on 6950)

    well I tried all that as far as checking the card is seated properly and all connectors are in well, even took it out and removed the heatsink sitting on 2 chips at the same time I thought was the most probable issue (the one very close to the mounting hole of the core heatsink) and nothing...

    New R9 series AMD cards released! So now prices of 7000 series are going ... U

    I was also waiting for the new series to come out if the 7970 will drop and nothing, I bought a 7970 card 2 weeks before the new series came out since I killed my 6950 and didn't know the new series will hit the stores that soon and I wanted a new card immediately. I got 797OC and returned it...

    what you think killed my card? (installing ZM-VF3000A,ZM-RHS69,PC-RHS2 on 6950)

    thx a lot for your support and your time reading my long story...I really was expecting some good results with that setup so was hoping the pictures would make a nice "how to" guide, but regrettably it turned out to be "how not to" guide still not quite sure what killed it....I was looking at...

    what you think killed my card? (installing ZM-VF3000A,ZM-RHS69,PC-RHS2 on 6950)

    I killed my card installing aftermarket cooler about 2 weeks ago and since I took many pictures during the install I though I'd write what and how I did it and verify what I guess was the cause so I could at least learn something from this costly mistake. Looked like a really nice setup and it's...

    which 7970 would you get?

    did some small changes to improve the airflow a bit I have installed new round right angle sata cables I have received this week reorganized my hdds to free a slot right below the gpu to bring more fresh air to the video card, also left the slot above it free to bring some air to the cpu...

    which 7970 would you get?

    played some time with the new 797TO and it got to 86 after some time playing crysis3 when I tried it on 1170mhz...took the side panel off to have a look at the card while running at load and noticed it helped the temps a bit and only got to 82 while it was running crysis for few minites...the...

    which 7970 would you get?

    might as well do it if I don't find any sort of sticker that would void the warranty my ambient is 26.9 now and think there is enough airflow, my hdds (7 normal + one ssd) are all 27-30 degrees, cpu idling all cores 33-35 and the gpu on idle 0,950v and 25% fan is 37 degrees if that fails I...

    which 7970 would you get?

    I have returned the 797OC today and got 797TO instead and it's not much better on everything stock 1100/1500/1.256v it got to 83 after about 10mins ingame (crysis3) running fan on 100% starting to think all gigabyte 7970s are crap or I would have been exteremely unlucky and get another sample...

    which 7970 would you get?

    yeah it's better than the asus matrix which doesn't cover some of the vrams chips at all but still not perfect...on the picture I posted earlier you can see some of those rams are only covered by about half of their size and frankly quite unnecessarily...the flattered parts of the heatpipes...

    which 7970 would you get?

    did answer some of that already ;o] case: fan profile: I just hope I'll get a better one, maybe it's as you said a bad [email protected] is not that bad achievement if the temps were a lot lower and I had more headroom for more voltage...I would be pretty happy with your sample ;o]

    which 7970 would you get?

    I guess it can run ok (and more room for core cooling at least and I rarely oc ram) but I just don't like it when I know can be done much better...the Zalman 7950 which has VF3000A actually has no ram cooling at all even though they sell the VF3000 heatsink with them but just because someone...

    which 7970 would you get?

    yeah I would probably get more from a watercooled 6950...I was seriously considering watercooling setup few years ago, had the whole build planned to see the budget but in the end I didn't switch to water...the cpus today are quite manageable with decent heatsink and the graphic cards are...

    which 7970 would you get?

    hehe yeah maybe I should turn the fraps off and just enjoy that it runs decent enough...I don't really care about benchmarks at all....I usually only run a benchmark when I get a new hw to see the difference but that's about it...I only care about how the games run I have [email protected] which is...

    which 7970 would you get?

    so I killed my unlocked and OCed 6950 2GB card on saturday and after just a quick research I got the Gigabyte GV-R797OC-3GD on sunday....the reviews (now I know based on 1.0) were pretty good and I liked the heatsink that cools rams really nice (vram temps were the reason I started messing with...

    what is ah-ips?

    that PDF doesn't say anything about AH-IPS not being suitable/used for pc monitors. It just pinpoints the technology strong points like high brightness and low power consumption in relation to mobile devices where it matters the most. That doesn't mean monitors doesn't benefit from it as well...

    what is ah-ips?

    there are 68 AH-IPS models on prad.de which is a lcd datasheet page which I use to get more info on monitors...I guess plenty of new medium price IPS based monitors today are AH-IPS, but there are still many older or cheaper panels with older IPS technology on sale I am thinking of Philips...

    what is ah-ips?

    btw here's nice IPS summary by garikfox on overclock.net forums: These below were all developed by Hitachi Super TFT (IPS) - 1996 Wide viewing angle 100/100 Base level Most panels also support true 8-bit per channel color. These improvements came at the cost of a slower response time...
