Mine arrived as well.

Thanks for the info guys. I just emailed [email protected] to request an update on my claim. I submitted my product numbers and invoices from Newegg and EVGA to them twice.

The Abit IC7-Max3 was what popped into my head when I read the headline. I sold mine in 2008, 4.5 years after it came out for 78% of what it launched for!

My x34 also arrived undamaged in a brown box version of the retail packaging. The plastic was still on the monitor and stand. There's more BLB near the top left corner than I'd like but I can live with it. 100hz has worked in the couple hours I've used it. It feels great to use it after my...

The price difference along with none being for sale in the prior two weeks rattled me into buying one now too. I was trying to wait until it lined up with a 8/10% ebay bucks day again.

Speaking for myself, the ergonomics of anything taller than 32" 16:9 or 30" 16:10 really doesn't comfortably suite my eye level. The all purpose monitor I'd like to see is a 32" 5k. Comfortable, sharp text for me at 200% scaling and a nice 1440p quarter resolution to fall back onto for...

I got my Dell U3415W yesterday and 2560x1440 showed up with 1:1 pixel mapping in both Windows 7 and 10. I also played some of the new Tales from the Borderlands episode at 1440p without issue. It only supports 16:9 so playing at the desktop resolution would mar my screenshots with the black...

I bought one from Newegg last week and they shipped it loose in a small box with one air pillow for protection. The air pillow unsurprisingly was popped and the drive DOA. What a waste. That really soured me on Newegg so I won't be renewing premier.

Newegg gave me the same offer for both of my cards today and I'm taking them up on it. I'm more upset about DSR still not working with SLI and G-Sync and the lack of MFAA with SLI. I'm getting closer to finishing my HT room and about to import a 4k projector. I don't ever want to worry about...

Yup. I've been on a huge "next-gen" game binge since putting together my X99 970 SLI system. Only one of those six games I've played was able to hold 120 fps @ 1440p (Alien Isolation). But it benefited from g-sync after being down-scaled from 4k to eliminate its extreme aliasing.

The last two I've had have this little dark "smudge". Don't recall on the first three. It doesn't bother me because it only becomes noticeable on a bright cutscene or loading screen.

I got my Tuesday Newegg order yesterday and its good so far. The newgg inventory sticker on the box said it was from a batch of 50. Ten weeks and four swifts later I seem to have one without hardware issues. Just in time for DA:I too.

The GT @ 600 RPM is keeping the top cards VRM in the 90s like the stock cooler was during an overclocked load. (Also, yeah, yeah the unsleeved cable looks awful but the case window goes against the side of my desk. I'll fix it next tear-down.) Crysis 3 crashed at 1550/8000 at the stock...

Oops! It was the ultimate preset. I had tressfx on. Edit: Ultra settings: My gpu 2 showed about 5% less utilization on average for some reason.

I had 1600 and 1550 on these two with the stock coolers and stock volts. A voltage bump and MCW82 blocks is giving me the extra 50mhz on the second card. I bought three cards to keep the best two and it turned out the 3rd was the worst, oh well. GPU 1: 72.8% asic 1.212v 1329mhz stock boost...

Tomb Raider 1440p Ultimate preset 970 SLI stock boost (1329mhz) and overclocked (1600mhz core / 2000mhz memory)

With my SLI MSI 970 Gamings I'm also seeing a lower voltage on one card. GPU1 shows 1.181v instead of 1.206v when used alone. I haven't checked the power target because... I got the MCW82s installed tonight. Unfortunately, the little heatsink on the VRMs isn't quite good enough without airflow...

I got two MSI 970 Gamings today and did some very quick individual testing. I'm happy with the results. GPU 1: 74.6% asic 1.212v 1550mhz fire strike/valley stable 1570mhz driver crashed in valley GPU 2: 77% asic 1.206v 1600mhz fire strike/valley stable 1630mhz driver crashed in valley The...

I have had great experiences overall with two 8800s, 285s, 480s, 670s in SLI. However these were mostly the top end cards so if support wasn't there or was delayed it wasn't typically a big deal. My two MSI Gaming 970s arrived today and both overclock to within 10% of my 1330mhz 780 Ti's...

I have two MSI 970 Gamings arriving tomorrow. I'm going to water cool them on the cheap with my MCW82s like I did with Gigabyte Windforce 670s.

Never happened to me with my VG278H in lightboost mode.

100% and 25% brightness on my 2nd Swift. I'm glad this one actually works properly but this is a huge bummer.

I got mine from newegg today, but it's defective. There are red lines in the exact middle and that red dithering on grey backgrounds on the right side of the screen. Happens in windows too, not just 3d modes. It even does this at 1080p/60hz and I tried another cable/graphics card. I am so...

Air freight vs a ship from china that takes 3-4 weeks to get here and clear customs.

Here's a size comparison of the popular Noctua horizontal coolers. NH L9i (installed), NH-C14, NH-C12P SE14, and a NH-L12. I'm really dreading installing the NH-C14 or my H220. All the empty space above the CPU is going to vanish.

I received my silver and black today in VA. Best surprise delivery ever. I'm going to move my build over into the black one tonight.

My early shipment cases have an Oct 31st acceptance date, 7 days earlier. In preparation I opened my H220 and discovered it has a buzzing pump at low rpms. That was such a letdown. On a more positive note, I have some 780 TI power consumption numbers for a P8Z77-I DLX/3770k/16gb 1.35v/H220/3...

I used the DQ45EK for a little server years ago. It was a nice motherboard, I didn't have any problems with it. I bought a short e-sata to sata adapter and routed the sata cable inside for 6 ports. I think all 6 worked anyway, I don't actually remember using it. I probably could test it though...

I also have 10 ST4000DM000s. None were DOA and no errors yet. I did buy 5 squaretrade warranties in case Seagate enforces the 2400 hour power on time warranty. Anyone know if the three year warranty on the NAS version is still limited in hours like the desktop versions?

I'm counting down the days until the AMD Kabini variants come out.

There is only 180mm of room for the PSU so modular 160mm ones with their plug lengths are extremely tight fits. I have a non-modular 165mm length Rosewill Fortress 450w platinum which was pushing the depth to the limit. Top mounted 25mm fans clear my 160mm cooler's height with over 5mm to...

Good point. Many heatsinks also aren't as long as the full card length. Edit: And card lengths video too.

Here's a smartphone photo of a finished build in the case, well without any hard drives. I'm trying Openelec XBMC on a usb stick first. Please ignore the distortion, the case is square! I haven't actually used it yet but here my thoughts from someone with half a dozen current ITX...

I picked up a used ASUS VG278H and wanted to echo what Mark said about it in comparison to the VG248QE. The lightboost colors and contrast are quite good with the Nvidia gamma option lowered a bit. Despite being larger, there seems to be less viewing angle color shift at the top and bottom too...

I like to play Crusader Kings 2 with my lightboost monitor because all the map text is legible when scrolling around the map. Everything from the big province names to the little 3mm tall unit count numbers (important!). Those unit numbers blur with the 144hz normal output but are perfect at...

Just for future reference, the SG06 front panel has 15mm of room inside it. That yields a maximum length of 277.6mm, but actually getting a long card in there might be tricky. Making a big cut out out starting at the existing fan cut out would probably allow most to swing into place. Or some...

It sounds like all motor and bearing noise to me, with a faint electrical buzz once you get up close to it. At idle there's absolutely no noise from air movement until I hold it up near my ear. In contrast, the similar dBa level GT AP14 noise is almost completely from the air flow and smooth...

No, there's no way this fan is running at the 1600rpm or whatever the older ones were. It has to be around the 1300rpm of v2.0. I found it to be the same volume as a 1500 rpm gentle typhoon 120mm. GT's are also the quietest fans at their rpm. A 15mm thick 80mm fan at 1600rpm would definitely be...

Amazon sent me a v2.0 this week. I was surprised how heavy the box was (4 lbs.). In the hand the unit feels like a little brick. The build quality is nice all around. I noticed the noise seemed to be the same volume as a full speed gentle typhoon AP14. So I measured them with a SPL meter, they...

Bad news, Swiftech has pulled the H220 from the US market following Astek's patent claim and refusal to license. Astek last year were granted a patent which effectively covers all current AiO liquid coolers with combined pump waterblocks.
