    E3:

    I'd pin a lot of that on optimization of the software. Though my biggest question looking at the systems has to do with PC gaming. And that's how porting is gonna be affected now that everything is pretty much using a similar setup (Multi-Core AMD CPUs with AMD GPUs.) Games will optimized to run on custom hardware supplied to Sony and Microsoft, and if features of these custom chips will find their way into later AMD CPUs like Excavator. Then games will most likely run far better on their hardware as opposed to Nvidia and Intel. It may be possible that AMD will be the way to go in terms of gaming very soon. As it seems like things are just going multi-plat between the PS4, Xbone, and PC. Outta be a very interesting time for PC gaming as a whole.
  2. I'd say pony up the extra $10 and grab the Gigabyte Z87X-OC.
  3. Perfection means something that is unobtainable, perfection simply doesn't exist. What we have are varying degrees of acceptable. Samsung and LG will throw away a good panel if it happens to be apart of a batch of panels where the samples taken for testing failed in anyone one of their metrics. Mass production lines do not allow for detailed scanning of each and every panel or monitor, the prices would be absolutely outrageous and it'd actually be more profitable to allow the bad ones to slip through and replace them. This is a major reason why there are reports of near-perfect Korean monitors, because the production lines simply don't allow them to take every single good panel for their own use. Much in the same way binning works for computer components. I can tell you that there are many 670s and 7950s that overclock better then their more expensive counterparts. Same with RAM, CPUs, and every other components. On top of this things are completely random, such is the case with anything. Someone could own a Dell and a Korean monitor and have the Dell stop working tomorrow and have the Korean monitor continue to work for years, or the inverse could happen.
  4. Maybe, soon we'll Korean 4k monitors with a single DP for $1000 and under.
  5. I'd say Gentle Typhoons as mine as beasts for my Monsta, but those have grey blades. Maybe some Noiseblockers?
  6. The sheer amount of Switch 810s in this thread is staggering, though it is one amazing case for watercooling. Wish I had a better camera but here's my build. Been putting off a direct die cooling Ivy review as I really don't have any decent pictures.
  7. This should be added to to OP, but Stren is doing a Titan block roundup. Since I imagine companies are just gonna use the same exact design with a different logo or whatever. The data shouldn't change at all. He'll continue adding more as he gets more of them. http://www.xtremerigs.net/reviews/water-cooling/nvidia-titan-water-block-roundup-coming-soon/
  8. The fans have me quiet excited, the blade design looks exactly like the gentle typhoons with a smaller hub. Some sleeved GTs with PWM controller and a wider RPM range would be outstanding. Here's to SST selling them separately.
  9. Different cards accept different voltages. Funny enough, from what I've heard is if you take a multi-meter to a 670/680 to read the voltage you'll find yourself around 1.21v stock despite the BIOS limit being 1.175v. Could be the card throttling or the BIOS doesn't like running at that speed. Honestly, the card will more then likely stick around till your next upgrade cycle.
  10. Completely normal, Titan is known to have a massive throttling issue even if it's within set perimeters. Only way to correct it is to watercool or mod the BIOS.
  11. Guess this would qualify me for the 5GHz club? CPU was delidded and the waterblock is directly mounted to the die.
  12. Well his testing is done strapped to a rad. So yeah, not really winning on that front either. Though, still doesn't excuse the Noctuas for making so much noise while moving so little air.
  13. Well, I'll do a review on it when mine comes in. The supremacy blocks do extremely well in reviews, should be a nice step up from my Raystorm.
  14. Fair enough, been a while since I've had a good look at the area around the GPU. But as long as you can keep the pressure even across the die there shouldn't be any problems.
  15. I'm pretty sure GPUs also protrude but to a lesser degree, well the blocks tend to anyways. You could put thermal pads around the die as well.
