    Dell U3415W and Asus PG348Q - Worth Upgrade?

    So when I built my PC a while ago the Dell U3415W just came out and I ended up getting it. Been a lovely monitor but I've been gaming more and have been hearing how great higher refresh rate is with g-sync. I'm considering upgrading at this point to a new monitor and settled on the Asus PG348Q...

    I currently have an external sans digital raid enclosure with 5 seagate 3tb 7200rom drives in raid5 and connected via esata. It was mainly used to store larger files, cheap solution, but I recently consolidated some drives in my system and have been using the array for pretty much everything...

    Black Ice GTX Rad's

    Has anyone seen any testing done on the new BI GTX rad's yet? They look pretty damn good and are priced a little less then the Thermochill's. HWLabs is claiming the pressure drop is half what their previous rad's were. I'm curious how these stack up against the Thermochill PA's. P.S. That...

    Buildup In Loop?

    I put together a new rig about a month ago (specs in sig). Before installing the rad I flushed it out with a gallon of distilled water then ran some CLR through it and then flushed again. While some particles and residue did come out it wasnt nearly as bad as some of the other rad's I worked...

    I recently installed an exos2 and trying to figure out the best way to get an accurate temp reading of the cpu.
