    Ah, so you are new to this stuff!
    Allow me to explain! (Sorry if I came over like I was an a****** before )
     
    Monitors have a refresh rate, measured in Hz. That's how much times they refresh their images per second (I think it was seconds, not sure).
    The standard right now is 60Hz. Meaning that, 60 times per second, your frames get refreshed. If you get 70 frames per second, it won't matter. Only 60 of these will be shown.
    If you have an high end panel though (120Hz/144Hz), it will show 120FPS/144FPS or lower.
     
    V-Sync, on the other hand, is something that is quite bad in quite some ways, in as much ways as it is good.
    If you get more FPS than the monitors refresh rate, screen tearing can occur. This can become annoying (this is partially resolved in some monitors using G-Sync or Free-Sync, but that's a story for another time).
    So, V-Sync was made (since G/Free-Sync didn't exist back than). V-Sync is a software in the software itself. First, it reads how much Hz the monitor has. After that, it forces your graphics card to pause for some time if it tries to get higher than your monitors refresh rate. So if you would get 61FPS+ on a 60 Hz monitor with V-Sync on, your Graphics Card will wait until the monitor has catched up.
     
    Is screen tearing annoying? To some people, yeah. If it burdens you too much, you can turn on V-Sync. But since V-Sync has it's own flaws, G/Free-Sync has been created.

    odevries got a reaction from mustafaali61 in Cable management help   
    Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has some tips for cable management since mine is just really really bad. Cables are just crossing each other through the front of the case (not the back panel). I just need some general tips.
    Thanks
