Hi Glenwing. Firstly i want to Thank you for taking the time to make this detailed review of the monitor , I was searching for monitor which would support above 60Hz via HDMI and i feel quite satisfied to settle with the XG2401 after reading this review. Just wanted to confirm one last thing before i purchase this product. So basically i need a Monitor for my office work and also to game a bit. I play a few games like Dota ,CS ,BF3 and GTA via my laptop Dell 5577 which runs an i7 7700Hq and a 1050, I get around 70-90 FPS at 1080p at medium setting, So wanted to see how it feels to play with more than 60hz , i know my laptop would not be able to pump much, but playing around 70- 90 hz would also make a difference with this monitor rite ?.

Yes it does support , but then again the PCi is limited to an x8 slot , so reduced bandwidth , at the same cost of the ram i could get the gigabyte board , Just needed to make sure that if i spend and it should work , or would have to discard the board. Any idea if my ram would automatically regulate the frequency and adjust to the CPU with the new gigabyte board , because its not working on the server board.

True , it does take a while to load up after all the system checks , so you think the Gigabyte would run well with the ram and CPU ?

Hey Guys, I have a old Dell Edge T110 server with an Xeon E3 1220 , Wanted to use it as a backup gaming rig , but the motherboard does not support non ECC Unbuffered ram, I tried to install my old Corsair vengeance 8 gig 1600 Mhz module and the system throws a boot error. I did some checking around and found out the motherboard does not support this ram and to add to the problem , the PCIe slot is an 8x. So i decide to pick up an older LGA1155 motherboard and run the Xeon E3 1220 along with a some old hardware lying around (As i want to send the minimum on this) CPU - Xeon E3 1220 Mobi - Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2 OR ZEB-H61 LGA 1155 - Need to purchase this , Plz suggest which to pick ? Ram - 16GB = 2 x 8GB 1600 Mhz Corsair Vengeance GPU - GTX 670 Asus DC2 PSU - Corsair 850HXi (overkill) My concern is mainly the Motherboard , as those above are the only available options to purchase , 1. Will that CPU support the Ram and the motherboard ? (I did check , the CPU supports this ram but not sure of the frequency , The mobi too supports the Ram and CPU) 2. Would the Mobi come with the updated Bios ? 3. Anyone had a similar setup ? who can post their views. Advise please Regards,

Yea, I was hoping that was the reason, maybe some past got onto the caps and shorted it, anyways thanks man.

Yea , it propably may work, but is it safe to turn it on after so many years of no use ?

Not gonna do that, was planning to purchase a hot air soldering gun , and heat it up .

Hi Guys, I have an old GTX 670 which I stopped using in 2016 when my mobi and cpu died , I recently thought of using it again but I am worried it could die once I start using it , as it's been a long time it was not in use, as a similar thing happened to another GPU of mine .I re-pastedbit and plugged it in and in about 15 mins it suddenly stopped and never worked again . I read about the heat treatment where people heat up their components to refresh the solder joints , would I need to do the same with my GTX 670 ? As I would have to purchase the soldering station just for one use . Any advice ? My concern is , is it safe to use the card after 4 years of no use without the heat treatment ? Has anyone had a similar experience ?

I currently have a GTX 670 which is soon to see retirement .. would really love to get a chance to use this new technology AMD has to offer .. Thanks for the giveaway .. love your channel

Amazing product ... would be so awesome to be given a chance to use this projector ..

Its a nice small computer , i would love to get this and gift it to my DAD for he loves to watch movies on our television connecting it to our netbook , and everytime he goes to watch a movie he gets confused on which cable to connect and where, since he is not tech savy at all, its ok when i am around but when i am not he is left dissapointed if he dosent get the old crapy netbook to run, so i would love to get this and plug it up and mount it behind the tv and get him a wireless keyboard and mouse so he can happily enjoy his free time watching movies and reading books onver the internet ...
