    Superflower Platinum 850w. How hot?

    Er... No. If it's too hot to touch, that's way to hot. If your setups pulling half the rated wattage, the psu should barely get into its 30s-40s. This message might have gotten to you too late. I hope you have a fire extinguisher...

    ** POTENTIALLY THE BEST GAMING MONITORS YET!! **

    Silicon lottery, now panel/monitor lottery... I have a nice U3415W, that was already a LG panel lottery, now if I go Acer that will be an AU Optronics lottery. ...but I do want a g-sync 34", 1440. As always, waiting for reviews and the ASUS alternative (which will probably be even more expensive).

    Dell 34" Problem

    Alternative is use a HDMI2.0 port/cable, if your VGA card has it. Runs full res, 60Hz

    ** INSANITY PRE-ORDER 24-48HR ONLY DEAL ON CURVED 34" DELL MONITOR!! **

    Pity, I have been using it myself, and had hoped it was something rather than a placebo effect. I guess as soon as a gsync, low ms refresh, alternative comes along, I'm upgrading. Even though I have a good sample, I doubt that I will recoup any more than a third/half? value from my unit...

    ** INSANITY PRE-ORDER 24-48HR ONLY DEAL ON CURVED 34" DELL MONITOR!! **

    Think I spot an oversight, did you miss out testing lag / signal processing in gaming mode?

    ROG Swift best display port cable

    It's only 120 as the small factory do not have their cables certified to 144. The VESA DP logo costs big bucks compared to basic materials to make the cable. Just use the overclocked CPU analogy. If one cable doesn't work, bin it. Buy another.

    The official Dell U3415W (curved 34") thread

    The default settings were way to bright for me, and are only of any use to anyone in a high noon sunlight room. Mine was pre-calibrated at 75 brightness, 75 contrast in Standard preset. I turned off dynamic contrast + uniformity compensation, dropped the brightness to 20 and compensated the...

    The official Dell U3415W (curved 34") thread

    Rev: A00 U3415Wb Manufacturing date: Nov 2014 An okay example, not perfect :( It should be for the price, I blame myself for being an early tech adopter. Apologies for the really crap camera. Apple 20 left, Dell U3415W right, in standard night time desk lighting. Calibrated 110cd/m3...

    The official Dell U3415W (curved 34") thread

    If we take hypotheticals :P Company E has a Christmas picture showing all the lovely CS girls in front of a scoreboard of how successful each has been in refusing RMAs. Company D acts as a virtual store for 2 large distribution warehouses. A DSR gets initialled by person A, passed to person...

    HDMI 1.4 using 3440x1440 gives 50Hz HDMI 2.0 at same resolution can bandwidth up to 100Hz

    The official Dell U3415W (curved 34") thread

    Is HDMI ideal for this monitor as I vague recall people writing HDMI 2.0 is hassle free for this resolution @ 60Hz, whereas DP has power sleep/waking issues?

    Any 3440x1440 G-Sync monitors coming?

    None mentioned at CES, so no

    Asus MG279Q 120hz IPS!!

    Thank you, but my 4 month old 970s do not have DP1.2a. Thus within the next build - I'll not only have a new socket 1151, but will have to change to the next gen of vga cards plus the new monitor.

    Asus MG279Q 120hz IPS!!

    Hurray :( for proprietary standards, even ASUS don't know which camp to support. I hope by the time Skylake gets released (my next build schedule), it'll be clearer whether the industry will go freesync or gsync.

    Phanteks Are Expanding the Evolv Line-Up

    Strange that the itx is same size as matx, but trying to hit a price point and compromising with plastics. ...and the ATX lost the 5.25 bay, I guess the feedback was that no one used it, but more available options is always better. Is that new grey Evolv the Gunmetal version that's already in...

    ** LG EXTEND WARRANTY TO 3YR ON CURVED 34UC97 MONITOR!! **

    Just the 97? or to be 87 as well soon? A change from (LG On-site)? as per description.

    AMD PileDriver (FX-83##/63##/43##) to be replaced by TSMC 16nm Zen Architecture

    Too much of a blanket statement. Like all news: research, analyse and find the truth from the point of origin. It's always good to hear AMD is still alive, even though Intel has been laughing at them since Bulldozer 2012 (or if your cynical, anything after Athlon).

    2500k to 3770k

    Any history on that 3770k? Has it been used and abused? Always worth the time to check, like buying a car.

    The correct method to leak test a loop.

    Nice, that covers all the single pumps, but watch out if you have something like a dual DDC 2x 5.2m head, that's nearly 15 psi. Plus give it a 15-20% margin of error above that.
