  1. I'm not a big monitor guy Maybe someone knew a fatal mistake that isn't covered by a run-of-the-mill review - and with high price electronics I like to be 100% sure.
  2. Hey guys. Would you say this monitor is worth it? Read a review on Kitguru stating that it's quite good, but would like some input https://www.komplett.dk/aoc-28-4k-led-u2868pqu/815284 It's priced at 2.599kr, which is $436 ASUS P287Q is $629 Samsung 28D590D is $545 They're (will be buying two) for my dad and his workstation, so it won't be for gaming. Just for coding and such. Thanks in advance
  3. A K2200 is $650 and way overkill. He doesn't render anything on his GPUs. I've told him about CUDA and AMDs solution, but he says it's not applicable to what he does I think I will see how it goes with onboard. I really just wanted to know the ins and outs of 4K requirements
  4. Amazon is terribad here in DK, also adds 25% to the price. Got any recommendations? Haven't bought monitors yet, but looked at the ASUS 28". I myself have perfect vision and played around with 4K here at work, but my dad doesn't and refuses to wear glasses It's for my dad. He codes very advanced software, so I have no idea What I know is that he needs very high IPC. He asked what the best dual core solution was, but we ended up agreeing that i7 was what he needed. @William12h the 7850k is nowhere near the CPU performance he needs, but you didn't know that Yeah I'll try to go onboard and see if it works. If not, I actually have an old HD 5770 with HDMI and DP, tho it's been used for BTC mining and other fun projects, so it's not reliable enough for my dads workstation If it works on that, it'll work on newer GPUs with same outputs.
  5. A GTX 760 is $365 here. R9 290X 4GB: $580 GTX 970: $475 But does it really take that much grunt to power a 4K display for normal coding and such? I ran a Chromebox with a 4K monitor here at work, and seemed to work just fine. It really has to do nothing intensive. Not even watch videos at 4K. I was thinking about a Sapphire R7 250X as it has both DP and HDMI, and it's like $100 after a 25% sale.
  6. Anything between $1 and $300. Mind you, I'm from Denmark, so everything is 25-40% more expensive here. But keeping it as cheap as possible is a plus.
  7. Hey LTT I'm looking for the cheapest solution to power two 4K monitors. It doesn't really matter if they run at 30 or 60Hz, since it's purely for work. No gaming will ever be done on these machines. The base system looks like this: Intel i7-4790K with CM 212 Evo ASUS Gryphon Z97 Kingston Beast 2400MHz 2x8GB Corsair RM550 Coolermaster Silencio 352 Samsung 840 Evo 250GB I assume I need two displayports on the GPU? I looked in to a DP hub, but it seems like max resolution is 5760x1080 - which is not enough for 2x 3840x2160. Silence is a big factor, so if there's a passively cooled 5450 with dual DPs out there I can't find, please let me know [Edit] I see now that HDMI can run 4K at 30Hz too. Maybe this Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti is capable? Dual HDMI Motherboard has HDMI and DP. This is info from onboard GPU (HD 4600) But it doesn't state whether it can run 4K on DP and HDMI simultaneously, and the forward slash in between worries me
  8. The fans. PSU is great and the AIO liquid cooler looks cool, but the fans are amazing value here in Denmark. Less than half the price of Corsair AF120 QE and definitely not half the performance. It's all about that price/performance.
  9. Giving it a 9.5/10 because you haven't shown the cable management, but otherwise it seems like a 10/10 build. My build: Intel Core i7-2600k @ 4.4GHz 1.275v (Noctua D14) ASUS P8P67 B3 Kingston HyperX 16GB (2x8GB) 1600MHz Black Komplett Edition AMD HIS HD 6950 2GB (Dual BIOS, unlocked to 6970) @ 840MHz Coolermaster SilentPro 1000W 2x 120GB Corsair Force GT + 1TB WD Black Fractal Design Define XL 2x 140mm and 1x 120mm intake - 1x 140mm and 1x 180mm exhaust, all Fractal fans (Not R2 :() I have had my CPU running at 5.25GHz, whilest being able to run a SuperPI Mod 1M bench. Not stable for Prime95 tho. Max stable tested clock is 4.8GHz, but I don't like going past the 1.4v point. Build is getting kind of old, obviously, but it still plays a lot of new games very well. If anything, I'm most proud of the solidness of my build - as well as the cable management.
  10. Very good reason to finally make an account :) Funny video too, really liked when you impaled that scary wall of boxes!
