    Best mini-ITX CPU air cooler recommendation?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a best air cooler in this small size form factor? Toying with the idea of building something fun like an overkill console replacement using either the Fractal Node 202 or the Silverstone RVZ02, with a Z170 mini-ITX mobo, probably a non-K Skylake CPU, and a...

    What's up with 120hz displays disappearing?

    I don't know if it's just me, or has anyone else been noticing that several models of 120Hz LCDs have suddenly become unavailable as of late? Newegg currently only lists 10 120Hz monitors for sale, and I think 3 of those are refurbs/OB of other models, and one is OOS (the Sam A700D). It...

    I've been looking at some of the various 120Hz LCDs online, but not really sure if it is something worth considering as I've never seen or used one in person. In the past I've generally been gaming on regular 60Hz displays, going all the way back to the old Dell 2001FP. I've never really...

    Alternate way to cable Tri-SLI?

    I believe the current way that all Tri-SLI setups are configured is like this diagram: I'm wondering if there are other, alternate way that Tri-SLI can be cabled. For example, can it be cabled like this and still work? Basically the last and first cards are cabled straight...
