I need some more floor space and looking for a full/mid tower case, any suggestions for a replacement? Need to fit a 360mm and a 240mm radiator plus a full size reservoir. I really like the look of the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv but I've heard the airflow isnt that great and I'm not sure it would fit...
One thing I still don't get about freesync, I saw that the new Asus MG279Q is limited to 30-90hz, does that mean if the monitor is set to 144hz freesync wont function at all?
I wonder if this would have less motion blur than my x-star. I've gotten back into more FPS' lately and it feels like I'm playing with vasoline on the screen even at 96hz
Are these the b stock of the new acer and asus 144hz panels?
So tempted to buy this and see how it performs.
Im running 3 monitors on sig rig with no issues with either of those things in your original post.
Although I am running Windows 8.1, I don't think its a hardware issue, have you reformatted or willing to try windows 8?
Did you make sure you plugged in the 6 and 4 pin power plugs?
My 4770k seems very similar, I have mine at 1.287v right now 4.5ghz, anything above that and it seems to be unstable, running a full custom loop tops out around ~68c. I could probably get away with 4.7ish with more vcore but haven't tweaked it enough.
Ended up replacing all of my SP120s with NF-F12s, holy shit what a difference. These things are absolutely silent while still performing the same or better than the SP120s.
Is anyone else with crossfire having issues with HD flash videos? They have this weird hitching/stutter effect. All of my 3D games are fine, seems like its a 2d issue with downclocking too much or something
Yeah the color is fugly, but honestly at this point I don't even care, the clicking of these SP120s on top is driving me insane.
Just wondering If I should return all of my SP120s and just go full noctuas.
edit: Wouldnt the NF-F12's be better for a radiator?
Did you use an NZXT fan controller by chance? Found something else that the controller is causing it even though the noise is coming from the fan. Going to return it and try out the bitfenix or another controller instead.
Not sure what the issue is here, they are mounted on top of an alphacool 240mm ST30 rad, at 100% they are fine but as soon as I drop to ~80% or lower they start clicking. I had another set of these that I RMAd back to amazon because I thought they were bad, brand new set is doing the same...
I read on another forum (or maybe it was here) the vesa mount on the back was kind of wonky and didnt actually fit third party mounts. Looking at getting a triple monitor mount for my X-Star and two other 23 inchers....has anyone successfully installed a different mount and had it work properly?
Just got my new i7 4770k and new mobo today. Got everything installed and it's powering on for about 10 seconds then powering back off. The code on the led is C0 but all the manual says is "reserved" for that code. Any ideas what the issue is?
I've taken the ram out completely which throws...
Looking for a new Z97 board that allows for PCIe 3.0 x8/x8 Crossfire using the furthest spaced PCIe slots for better cooling. Everything I've looked at is only x8/x8 2 spaces apart, which may be a design limitation I'm not aware of.
This is the only I can find that appears to be 3 spaces...
I got a killer deal on them used ($275 each) otherwise I would have bought reference. I went down to a computer shop and picked up two 60cfm fans and pointed them directly at the cards and it dropped me down to 92c at full load which prevents the throttling for now. Seems to be an airflow...
Unfortunately I only have 2 PCI-E slots and they are right next to each other. My case isnt really a rats nest, I just have no room to put any more wires which is definitely affecting the airflow. Looks like the case upgrade may be worth it.
I have a 4770k coming with the retail edge sale...
Recently picked up two MSI R9 290 Gaming 4G cards with the twinfrozr coolers. The top card keeps overheating and throttling itself, probably because its recycling the hot air onto itself and there's almost no gap for it to breath and get cool air. I have the fans running at 100%.
First...
Recently upgraded to two R9 290s and I noticed today after some BF4 gaming my top card was at 94c. Yikes. I'm currently running an XFX 750w black edition(about 3 years old I think) and I'm thinking it's not enough power for both of those plus my other parts.
2 SSDs 1sata drive
5 120mm fans...
The terms say it will be shipped within 6 weeks, anyone thats gotten one of these deals before, does it actually take that long? Trying to decide when to put my old parts up for sale.
Update for anyone trying to get producer status, seems to take about 24 hours for it to register. Got my 30k yesterday and this morning it had finally flipped over to Producer from Roadie.
I just bought one from amazon 2 days ago and its v2 firmware.
Go download this:

Fixes all of the issues.
I've been at this for a few hours now and I'm losing my mind. Just got a new benq 2420z and wanted to setup 3 monitors for triple desktop.
I have my setup like this:
ASUS VG236 (DVI) ---- BENQ 2420Z (DVI-D) ---- DELL U2311H (DisplayPort)
I had the asus and dell working fine in dual...
