Oh yeah, excuse that awkward twist tie! I didn't do final pictures and kind of took pictures a little before it's finished! I wanted to just show you all how good the computers coming out! I built this computer for a good friend of mine, hope all of you like it! I love it.

Hope you get a backplate on your next Determined gpu soon, lol
Build looks sexy

I see. Well, I don't know if passing through the card will impose any limitations on that, but even if you can get 4K 60Hz HDMI through it, changing from DP to HDMI and then back to DP again is quite complicated.
 
Simple $5 DisplayPort to HDMI cables are limited to 4K 30Hz, and in addition will only work for going from DisplayPort to HDMI, not the reverse. The second run, from the capture card's HDMI to the monitor's DisplayPort, will not work at all with a simple adapter cable. If you want 4K 60Hz, you will need to use a DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 signal converter between your graphics card and the capture card. After passing through the capture card, you would then need another converter, from HDMI 2.0 back to DisplayPort, between the capture card and the display. Signal converters are quite expensive and typically only work in one direction so these would need to be two different converters.
 
As suggested above, it would be a much better idea to use ShadowPlay for recording if you can.

oh
then why cant you just record with software on the PC and capture 1080p 60fps?
it will look better than with the capture card, and if you use something like shadowplay or some other software with H.264 encoding there will be almost no performance impact

all the DP to HDMI 2.0 converters are hit and miss, most of the time they do not output 60Hz but only 30 even though they advertise 60
 
if you want crisp gameplay capture you should de native recording on the PC, not external or capture card
 
converting video to a digital signal and then back into video causes a lot of degradation
recording directly with software before the video is output to your display gives much higher quality footage

No problem. I hope you changed your gpu to the first slot for increased performance !

Nice display and CPU. GPU is dated, but probably still serves your purpose well. That 660 has cuda cores for days, but the clocks aren't up to today's tech. 7/10

First build that I've ever done and I did it when I was 16 (17.5 now). I added some parts in since like the GPU, SSD, and cooler because the stock was so damn loud.

Dope build, I'm in love with the color scheme that you've used and how clean this is.
A+

Oh my. I'm in love with this build! It's so clean, this is just great.

I'm not sure when it comes to program benchmarks but if you check a website that does GPU vs. GPU the 970m has great performance.
http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=2536&gid2=2006&compare=geforce-gtx-970m-3gb-vs-quadro-k1100m
 
Here's a link that shows the Quadro K1100M vs. GTX 970M, check it out.
I've had my laptop for about 7-8 months now and I haven't had any issues, you should be fine for years.

You should be able to, I wouldn't see why not as it has 16GB of RAM and you can buy 16GB more and have 32GB which is more than enough for a rendering station.

I realized it was more of a showcase and changed the title of the thread, appreciate the good words! Thanks.
 
It gets a lot of dusts, I clean it out so much haha! And, I'm working on getting a new gpu which is my next thing to do for this build.

I..... also have a new theme song for this build, well it's not really a theme song it's just a song I've been enjoying throughout the summer!
 
I've always wanted to do something different from others, I'm not sure if people have done it inside of their computer but I've been hearing the word wrap a lot so I decided to wrap a few things inside of my computer. You might be asking, what's wrap? I'm talking about vinyl wrap, I went ahead and purchased flat black vinyl wrap to cover a few parts inside of my computer to make it look cleaner. I've wrapped the middle of the AF/SP Corsair fans so the fans look cleaner with just the rings. I've also went ahead and vinyl wrapped the graphics card to completely remove the "GeForce GTX" green logo from the graphics card. I've also vinyl wrapped the whole CD/DVD RW+ drive that's inside the computer so it all looks cleaner inside.
 
I've upgraded this computer a few times since I originally had it and now it's time for a refresh thread.
If you are going to tell me how ugly my power supply cables are, don't.
Have a good day, I hope all of you enjoy this Prestigious 750D thread as much as I do!
I'll be reading all comments ^^

Not really a build log, more of a showcase... still looks really sexy though! Good job

I forgot to mention, my laptop is on Windows 10 Professional which is the same OS that's on my desktop.
The OS shouldn't make a difference.

Okay so, I overclocked my laptop (ASUS G751) monitor from 60Hz to 90Hz (It won't go past that) and I love the changes.
I feel the difference in-game on CS:GO and I would love to overclock my monitor at home!
 
I overclocked it by:
1) Going into the NVIDIA Control Panel
2) Clicking on "Customize"
3) Clicking on "Create Custom Resolution..."
4) Changing Refresh Rate (Hz) from 60 to 144Hz
 
5) "Test successful. Custom resolution 3840 x 2160 at 144Hz has been applied"
I click on "Yes" and click "Ok" and it doesn't save.
 
I'm running on Windows 10 Professional 64-bit.
The monitor I have is an Samsung U28D590 28" 4K monitor.
Pls help, overclock needed!
PS. It shouldn't be an OS problem.
My laptop is on Windows 10 Professional and my laptop overclocked the monitor just fine!

I was having the same issue with resolutions not saving on Windows 10 Pro on multiple installs. I think it's the OS and driver.

I think'll look great however you're definitely gonna switch that GPU for something newer in the near future. Other than that I'm excited, this build looks like it's gonna be pretty saxy. Also carbon fiber is bae.

version 1603 is the latest for this board.
 
it works fine with the 4790k. no update is required
 
usb bios flashback is a godsend if your ever in a bind

I played with a few of the international versions when I had them at work. Though it was the slower model 2GB and 16GB storage. Performance wise it was really smooth. But the brightness was on the lower side compared to other phones.
 
 
One of the biggest concerns I had was actually with thermals. Did you find the phone runs warm after extended use or was it fine for you?

You mean external sd card? I believe you can. In the ZenUI, there is "ASUS Customized Settings" in the settings menu where you can select your preferred app installation destination--internal storage or external. [emoji1]

Almost a year ago, ASUS released the Zenfone series--the Zenfone 4, 5, and 6--across several countries in Asia, including where I'm from (Philippines). I think they wanted to see if their new Zenfone line would let them penetrate the smartphone market, that's why they only released in a few countries. Luckily for them, their "bang-for-the-buck-better-hardware" phones became popular to a lot of consumers, since they are with the lowest prices (if I'm not mistaken) with such specs. Their Zenfone 5 were (and up to this day) is still the best seller among the three. That is why they also released versions of the Z5 with updated batteries and other stuff. 
 
I think this success led them to release a new flagship phone that they can market to compete among other flagship phones in the western parts of the world (i.e., Samsung, HTC, Nexus), hence the "highly upgraded Zenfone 5," the Zenfone 2. Just my opinion, though. 
 
I think the way they market the Zenfone 2 in the US/Canada--low prices and you can buy them independent of data carrier--can really make an impact, even if some features are "meh."
 
Sorry for the long post.

Tempted to buy one as a spare "mess around with android" phone
