    2024 OLED bonanza take your pick from dozens of new monitors

    I see MSI will be releasing a new 34" 240Hz OLED 3440 x 1440 monitor seemingly based on the gen 2.5 OLED screens (MSI MPG 341CQPX): https://tftcentral.co.uk/news/msi-to-launch-mpg-341cqpx-34-ultrawide-240hz-qd-oled-monitor Is this the only gen 2.5 34" OLED 3440 x 1440 screen due for release so far?

    What’s the longest non-stop flight you’ve taken - distance or time?

    Dubai to Dallas - around 15 hours. Luckily it's for work so I get business class.

    Official 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix Thread - The Strip, Las Vegas - Round 22

    Really don't see how they're going to fix that in time.....and now they're saying they have to inspect all the manhole covers on the circuit.

    Case advice for AiO 280 on top.

    I recently built a pc with the Corsair 4000D Airflow and have a 280mm AIO, it definitely fits. I'm using the Arctic Liquid Freezer II, which has a thick radiator. The radiator overlaps the AIO cpu cooler and pump, but it definitely fits and the case supports 280 AIO. As you mention you want...

    Considered the Corsair 4000D Airflow? I recently built a pc with it and it is well designed case. Generally gets good reviews.

    MSI Z690-A WIFI vs B660 Mortar Max

    Ah ok - I incorrectly assumed the independent clock generator applied to the cpu and memory for some reason, not just the cpu. Makes sense now.

    MSI Z690-A WIFI vs B660 Mortar Max

    Are there any particular recommendations for ram when overclocking a 12400 using the MSI Mortar Max board? I was thinking of getting 3600 ram, however I'd want one that is known to overclock well. I've been looking at Corsair Vengeance LPX, Corsair Dominator Platinum, GSkill Ripjaw V, Team...

    MSI Z690-A WIFI vs B660 Mortar Max

    Thanks, I was going to get an AIO to play it safe. Obviously this adds a bit more cost but definitely seems worth it in this instance.

    MSI Z690-A WIFI vs B660 Mortar Max

    Thanks a lot, much appreciated! I'm tempted to do a new build with a i5 12400 and B660 Mortar Max seeing as I can get both for around £285 atm which seems like good value given the OC potential.

    MSI Z690-A WIFI vs B660 Mortar Max

    Hey, would you be willing to share the bios settings you used for your overclocks? More curious on specific bios settings needed to undertake / optimise the overclock, rather than the bus speed change itself. Or are there any good guides for this specific motherboard you know of?

    F1 2023 - Pre Season Testing

    It's slightly ironic that the longer you keep a set of regs the closer teams should get, as it's a law of diminishing returns and teams play catch up. The biggest dominances often comes right after a reg change as inevitably one team optimises a design quicker than the others.

    Motorsport Off Topic Thread

    Makes sense - in reality should have happened / started a number of years ago: Formula One has confirmed its commitment to introducing a regionalised calendar in future seasons. As part of its goal of reaching net zero carbon by 2030 the sport will attempt to rationalise a calendar that is...

    Japanese Grand Prix 2022, Suzuka Circuit - Race 18

    I was reading today that F1 wants to move the race to earlier in the season when it's not monsoon season like it is now, but the track owners don't want to......this is completely the wrong time of year to host a race at Suzuka given the typical weather.
