  1. I mean I would gladly do so, show me a IPS Gsync Display that is 165hz and 1440p 27-32in, and not curved, that doesnt use the horrid Q&Aed panel. All of them have horrid Q&A, the Acers the ASUS, ect, its the panel company, and they are the only one that makes the panel. There is no other options sadly. Also, Dead Pixels are always going to a be possible issue with any monitor. When buying a 100-200 dollar monitor, its not such a bigge. When buying a 800+ dollar monitor its a bigger deal IMO.
  2. Hey, thanks, but once again I do not have a local store. Also the monitor in question is known for horrid Q&A, so no, new egg doesn't take it back no questions, and 15% of 800 dollars, maybe multiple times, is a lot of money very quickly (thats over 100 dollars, per send back). People have been through this with new egg, with most on reddit saying either buy used or from a NDPG store. As said with Microcenter, there is stores that have a No Dead Pixel Guarantee, I know of 4 right off the bat, 3 of which are in UK area, and the other is a Laptop/desktop store (which doesn't have the monitor). It was also very common with Ebayers selling the Japense 1440p IPS monitors back in the day.
  3. Sadly I do not have a microcenter I live in a small town, so online stores are really my only option. I know Microcenter has an online store, however in every experience of mine trying to buy stuff from there, they wont let me lol. I actually checked that today for the monitor, they said only In Store Pick up.
  4. Hey guys, so I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a new PG279Q, and I was curious with all the Q&A issues abound, does anyone know of a US store with a ZDPG? I'm not paying 800 dollars for a monitor to have dead pixels and be told get screwed (the fact companies do that is sad )
  5. Well Ideally it would be a card lol. That said, almost, but no cigar. That is Msata not PCI, I would pefer a PCI one, and with a shorter cable.
  6. I was curious has anyone tried the M.2 Riser cables or know of a card of some kind that can flip an m.2 slot? So I am building a new PFsense, in a 1u very very tight case. And stupid Asus had to go an put the M.2 slot on the board on the edge facing out, and say "2242 native, however due to edge design any length supported". Which, is kinda wonky solution lol. Of course reliable 2242s dont exist, and I dont have that much space from the board edge and the fan. So if I have to flip the m.2 connector around somehow, so that it will support a 2280. Preferably a riser that supports PCI 4 lanes, as that is what the board supports (Haha, funny right, seeing how a 2242 pci drive doesn't exist......) Asus has taken the stupid award of the year for this one. Oh here is a pic of what I got to give you an idea of what is going on here. That PCI slot will also be on a Riser cable to run the network card in the correct direction. (I would prefer a card riser but not with Istars prices :P.) So I guess I lay that cable down then, lay the new m.2 on top so I can sink it. As its a small and hot case (1u)
  7. Oh man, that dark mode is sick! And ya I thought it looked diffrent.
  8. Good to hear guys, I should have just stayed here long ago lol. I actually made this account when this forum was new, but OCN always called me back, but I will not be made out to be something im not (Well Id be lying if I said I dont troll, and think we have all trolled before lol, but I troll in games and prided myself to NEVER EVER TROLL ON OCN!) and that is why I am so upset about this whole ordeal.
  9. Ya i left the context out of that. So some of the faults I seen with thread ripper that I was attacked for stating, by a whole lot of users, a mod commented and said he is right, he makes a very very good point. That was one of many times that mods in the thread took my side on issues I brought up, however all my posts were trolling lol. I dont think it had anything to do with any of that. I was attacked by long time members with more posts then me, they broke the TOS multiple times attacking me. So I think the mod wanted to protect his friends, so he decided to go after me, to protect them. As he then made a comment on the thread, "If you believe a user is trolling just report them" In doing so, and by deleting only my threads, and the posts calling me a troll, they told the entire thread I received an infraction for trolling, therefor breaking there own, TOS!
  10. Me neither, that is what I am saying that is what upsets me. If I was trolling, I would of said your right, I am sorry, and moved on. But I wasnt trolling, at first I made a few points about TR and then tried to defend my reasoning's after constant attacks. And then boom, I was "trolling" I wrote The Forum Manager about the mods actions, and then another mod hit me with a 2 week ban minutes after telling the first mod that I was going to take it up with him.....
  11. Honestly that is what scares me though. I went 6 years and 5 thousand posts on OCN with a few times I slipped up and was rude, and apologized to the user and the mod, and moved on. But this? Being accused of trolling for voicing my opinion that is absurd, I am done with them. Voicing my opinion in a polite and professional way no less! Ahh the trolling Infraction, the one that has no reality behind it, and needs no explanation.
  12. The name calling ECT? Thats the thing, I didn't call anyone a name, I wasn't rude, I wasn't mean in any way. However half the thread was rude to me, saying I was a troll, a Intel Fanboy, a this, a that, saying to ban me. And yet, none of them had anything happen. And their only posts that were deleted were the ones insulting me. It also wasnt a static fact we were arguing about the convo moved as it should, into other things, A few things I was misinformed about and conceeded too being as such. Yet the mod said none of them did wrong, I baited them into acting that way. I guess 1 infraction was easier than the tons of people attacking me. Then after the thread was cleaned, Someone stated something about Intel Pricing I linked a price guide and my opinions (That with a new waterblock for those that have an Intel one, TR is the same price as intel) That was perceived trolling, even though the person Iw as replying to was pro intel in the debate lol.
  13. What is the definition of too aggressive? Replying when you are attacked lol?
  14. Well ya I obviously struck a nerve with the 1 mod, and the other came in to the rescue. The funny thing is before that Mod, deleted all my posts saying I was trolling 4 other mods posted in the thread, some replying to me, and out debate. That one mod got mad at me, and it was over, another mod hit me for more lies. So apparently, providing facts to people is trolling because they dont support your facts. Yet they bashed me and said I was trolling, insulted me, ect, ect, I got rude with no one, ignored flame posts. and Proceeded with the discussion. However as you can see from the OP, the thread was about TR and I pointed on some flaws with it, then proceeded to defend my reasoning as it was attacked, and I got an infraction for that. I have ran a small forum a long long time ago. And I know how things are supposed to go, but moderators that take personal opinions into the moderation or friendships, should be fired.
  15. Hey guys, I was a member here for a short time, (as you can see lol). However I know need to find a new home then OCN, as there moderation team is absurd. They disagree with your comments they censor them and claim your trolling. I then told a user that accused me of trolling, that I was never trolling, after he told me to leave the thread (seriously?) and they said I was discussing moderation and trolling many users opinions. I am not going to put up with that kind of stuff. Its absurd, so looking for a new home for my forum time :). BTW my "troll post" that started it, " Where is everyone getting these ideals that TR has 60% less power consumption and and runs cooler? I am on my 3rd video and have yet to see that?I do see the OCed 16c under load consuming the most power of every chip tested, including an overclocked i9, and the 12c slightly less than the I9.As for temps, well these people need to tell us how they are reading that, that matters, TR TJ max is still 75c (107c if using the AMD temp offset, No one does)" So you tell me LTT is that trolling? I think not, but alas you are not allowed to have a varying opinion apparently on OCN. As if you tell someone they are wrong, and show facts why they were wrong, well you are trolling apparently.
  16. Great Post OP, this deserves a bump, I been calling the same thing and just get hit with "no the 1070 will be more than 20% faster than the 980ti" ya in there dreams :). It would be nice but it isn't going to happen. (well it would be nice for people that dont own 980tis, so it doesn't apply to me lol). No a 1070 will not get HBM, neither will a 1080, 1080 is a midrange card the 1070 is the bottom of midrange, unless a 1060 is released than that is the rock bottom of mid range. The cards ranges are judged by there chips, if a chip ends in 4 it is midrange, if it ends in 0 it is flagship/high end. The cards that will get HBM are the GP100 chips, this will be the Titan and the 1080ti no other cards. Those cards will also not release for quite awhile most likely q1 2017. Sorry to break your bubble but no a GTX 970 is about middle of the mid range, the midrange in 900 series consist of 960/970/980. The top End is 980TI/Titan X again dont listen to the names NV give look at chip names those are what matters. GM204 is mid range, the 970 and 980 use this chip (and I think the 960?) the top tier cards use GM200, that is like I said Titan X /980ti. How you think a 300 dollar card is high end when the real high end cards are 1000, I do not know. I could see that mistake with the 980 as the price was 650 at launch however Enthusiasts know better as we follow chips not marketing names. Dont be fooled by NVs trickery of cash grabs look at chip names always not card names :). That is not to downplay the 970 its a great card with a great price but it is far from high end. someone that plays at 1080p would be happy with it, and it would be great price ot performance that's for sure but it isn't high end. For someone like me that plays at 4k max settings SLI doesn't support enough cards for me to even use those lol ;).
  17. Umm sorry to bump and old thread but I was just browsing Water Chiller stuff and came across this. Anyway I am going to have to disagree with you and suggest you do more research about something before you bash it. A Waterchiller can most defiantly reach -40c which is as much as a LD phase change can btw. Now will one of these 300 dollar haliea units enderman listed do it no, but it can be done with a custom one. Not only can it hit those temps it can also do so using full cover VGA blocks, and a CPU at the same time, as well as be turned to close to ambient when subzero is not needed. However reaching those temps has its own issues and things you need to adapt and fix such as not using water but methanol or glycol, you can build a water chiller capable of -40c for alot cheaper than you can buy even a used phase change. A brand new 15000 btu AC can be obtained for 400 or so and then modded and can achieve -20c. Also phase change is second rate at this point with the release of OCC (which is basically a phase change system that uses LN2 from a Dewar) as it can achieve -100c or better . There is also much better water chillers available than the haliea ones that are dedicated to a use like ours, Fun fact there is industrial waterchillers that use 3m fluorinert and get way colder than -40c and are used to cool high powered CO2 lasers. Waterchillers also as stated have the advantage of being able to be mounted elsewhere I have seen large house ACs mounted outside with there Evap inside in a reservoir cooling both the system, and a chillbox (by using a rad inside of a insulated box). This can net you much better results IE -36c water and -20c temp insdie the box that house your motherboard ect. This is the best of all worlds as not only is your CPU massively cold, but your VRMs and Ram and everything else to subzero temps. This helps to prevent a lot of issues with Subzero Cooling the biggest being condensation. because the box is so cold inside it will not condensate. A Phase Change system cannot do this btw, a water chiller can. Good thread Enderman and actually I must say though building an AC waterchiller is not that difficult and performs alot better for a much lower price.
  18. Okay so I had to comeback and update a change in my thinking. As a now owner of a 1440p phone (LG G3) and a 720p(sgs3) and a 1080p HTC one m8(wife's). I can tell the difference to what degree depends on the appliction. Everything is sharper for sure but LG did some software stuff to affect that as well however games look better a lot better on the LG than the HTC the s3 isn't even in the same room with them. My device is 5.5inch so that's a little bigger but the diffrence is there to me at least. Granted it's not night and day vs the HTCs 1080 but it's defiantly better. It does put a serious hurt on the battery though.
  19. Its actually far less than this a 780ti beats a 290x by about 5% and a 290x beats a 290 by about 3-5% so at most 10% difference stock and thats game dependent once you get into overclocking those numbers get smaller. Regardless either is overkill for 1080p and the 290s really close the gap at higher res. Here check this out op http://www.anandtech.com/show/7492/the-geforce-gtx-780-ti-review/4
  20. 2 290s will smke a 780ti. A 780ti barely outperforms a 290x so 2 of them will smoke it
  21. I can defiantly tell the difference on my nexxus tab vs my galaxy phone 1200 vs 1080. And to all of you that say on tablets is one thing well alot of phones are becoming tablets when is the last time you have seen a touchscreen that wasn't 5+ inches. This same argument could be made for 4k really though can you really tell the difference on a 27 inch screen? yet people are dropping thousands on those myself included soon .
  22. well that was my question is it modding period you dont like or just audio. IE pcs mounted in the dash and gauges for nos levels and different engine info tanks that are inlaid into casings like those speakers are usually you can have both tho very few friends of mine had both and the ones that did had very little audio as there simply isnt room 2 nos tanks already takes up the whole backseat lol. Not that that is a hobby id get into either my friends that did it growing up were usually rich kids they would blow a 10k engine and in 5k on 1 race expensive hobby lol plus phoenix dont play about it you will lose your car and your license forever first offense
  23. dude thats awesome how could anyone not like that?. Your into car performance but not audio?? I grew up in pheonix arizona and street racing is kinda a big deal here and I grew up with alot of them and most of the cars look like that they dont have the audio necessarily but nos and high speeds requires lots of tech and pcs in the car to make sure you dont blow up but they still look alot like those except trade speakers for nos bottles and pcs and gauges. So im curious do you like that kind of stuff or is just techie cars you dont like or the audio. Is the blue one even a car i dont see a steering wheel lol Oh and for me cameras @DigiKing - you must not be married with children flesh-light will become your best friend
  24. Ya those are nive only there only 1500 rpms and have a very low sp compared to the bitfenix fans that are only 300rpm. Is there a faster model lol
  25. Very true in the case that they are low fpi the static pressure doesnt need to be as high. NBs are good fans what i meant was for there price there are many cheaper fans that perform much much better I really dont want industrial fans as there ugly and bland however i may go that route as some deltas or san aces are second only to gentle typhoons. I dont want to run a fan controller as that would require manually change them which i cannot do the orientation and placement of my case will leave this unacceptable plus the 900d looks funky with drive bays occupied I want fan curves that ramp on there own. esp as the case will be on a ledge behind my desk against the wall window facing out so all those bay slots and usb front panel will not be used its 5 feet away i would have to move the 100+ pound beast to change fan speeds ya aint going to happen. I run a custom made power swicth for this reason and a usb hub build into my desk this is with any pc build I run my setup isn't organized in a way this will work. Bequiets i assume you mean the shadow wings there not pwm and have a flat center casing they will pull air from everywhere besides where it needs to be dont you think? the also have the same specs as the bitfenixs that are pwm and are square. Any reviews on those showing there true SP Know we all know that makers lie but according to makers specs the bitfenixs fall shortly behind 70 cfm vs 76cfm and 2.6sp vs 2.7sp and do so at 1800 rpm vs the bequiets 2200rpm to achieve slightly higher results and are also twice the price. I really like these bitfenixs but cant find any reivews on them i think they may be new as all the reviews i find are for the old version that has have the sp and aint pwm have youy ever seen a review of these BFF-SPRO-P12025KK-RP
