So I was set on getting a new 500gb m.2 drive for my 8700k build and the Samsung 850 evo seemed like the winner. But I spotted the Intel 600p at only about £20 more - not much but I don't want to spend the cash and then not get any benefit.
I know one is SATA and the other NVMe but in the real...
I have two identical machines apart from storage, so:
mobo - Asus 170i pro gaming
cpu - i7 6700k
ram - 32gb dd4
gpu - none.
Booting both machines into the same build of Fedora (push button to login screen):
SSD - Samsung SM951 PCIe - 55s
SSD - Samsung 850 EVO SATA - 25s
Why the...
So I have decided to go for an UW instead of triple monitors... I think I will hang out for the AOC u3477pqu. I am going to upgrade my dual gtx 295 sli config - getting too noisy and a bit choppy in places.
I mainly MMO - Wildstar/ArcheAge currently.
Is a gtx 970 going to be enough grunt...
Well I was just about to pull the trigger on a new gpu and 3 screens when I saw this:
AOC u3477Pqu @ £499 inc vat.
Obviously 3x 24inch is going to be bigger but is one monster 34 inch UW going to be less hassle??
Purely for gaming.
I have 2x 295gtx's 9so quad sli) sitting on i5-2500k @4.5ghz, 8gb ram, ssd etc I fancy upgrading the gpu as when they get blowing they are LOUD!
Any recommendations? If I am spending cash I obviously want a performance improvement (and noise reduction!!) but avoiding my cpu being the bottle...
So the dream crusher (wife) has agreed that I can upgrade to a triple screen set up (currently running a single 24"). Would it be worth going 3x 3D screens? Or will the peripheral screens simply not look 3D as I am going to mainly stare at the middle screen?
I am thinking 3x 24" regardless of...
I currently have an Asus P5N-T Deluxe mobo running an Intel E8400 @ 3.4ghz. I like the board apart from one feature, no onboard spdif output.
What this means is I can't run audio from my gpu via the hdmi output to the TV for 3D. It's a royal pain.
So, I need suggestions for a replacement...
my 9800xg2 has gone pop so I need to replace it. With a £300 budget what would people go for.. 260 sli or 4870x2? I have a 780i mobo so can not xfire only sli. Or maybe a 285???
I am considering a watercooled set up but have a couple of questions...
How loud are these things? I understand that a lot depends on the fans and would love to use the Noctua NF-S12 1200 RPM fans as they are super quiet but will they have the cfm to do the job?
How loud are the pumps? I...
Can anyone recommend a UK supplier of equipment to make up cables?
Specifically I want to make a 4-pin to 3-pin connector for a fan. I can find loads of molex connector changing kits but none have the cable and metal pins I require.
I fancy putting in a fan controller in my 900. Has anyone modified the original fans to work with a controller? if so how etc.
I know I can put otehr fans in but I like the originals.
