  1. IPS has better colour reproduction TN has faster response times you are unlikely to notice the faster reponse with the TN panel unless you play a lot of fast paced shooters like counterstrike . Open world RPG is going to look alot prettier on a IPS panel
  2. Rig Name: Purple Monster Specs: CPU: i7-4670k @ 4.3 Ghz GPU: Gigabyte 970 g1 gaming at 1495/7800 RAM: dominator gt 4x2gb @ 2000mhz Score: 8
  3. what are the full specs of your pc, power supply, case, cpu etc?
  4. if you are paranoid about damage to your cpu i would go with a noctua, they have already confirmed that their securefirm fitment is not affected by this. i have used a hyper 212 and they are great for the price but again if your paranoid about damage maybe stay clear.
  5. the biggest problem you are going to face is the 150mm height restriction with that case my mate has a 8350 and they do run toasty without a decent cooler i gave him my h100 which has tamed it as he has a narrow case similar to yours. if your set on air cooling id go big with a Noctua NHC14 or the forementioned coolermaster GeminII S524 Ver.2 or look at a aio liquid cooler a h80i or equivalent at idle they are a litte noisier but under load much the same as a air cooler
  6. correct, for the rear you want airflow as well
  7. nzxt fan spots can be a wierd size, stick with nzxt fans if you buy a big fan otherwise as stated go with a pair of 120/140 depending on where they fit
  8. i think a coolermaster GeminII S524 Ver.2 would be a solid choice jayztwocents used it recently and as he pointed out it keeps the northbridge and the vrms cool as well
  9. i would drag my Mom's macbook kicking and screaming into the 21st century with a SSD which it very much needs http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-75E500B-AM/dp/B00OBRE5UE/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1449743039&sr=1-5&keywords=850+pro&refinements=p_n_shipping_option-bin%3A3242350011
  10. as stated u can run 2 cards and run a screen off each but for gaming you are still only going to be using one gpu and one monitor
  11. sounds like your gpu drivers have crashed also how much memory is it using, you only have a 4gb card
  12. vram was likely just cooled by the fan/fans on the stock heatsink. no harm done
