  1. Corsair ML120's are a decent fan also (black with hints of grey), i had a couple of the NZXT fans on an aio and they were very loud so i replaced them.
  2. They did fix the VRM cooling issues on the newer MSI x570 boards.
  3. That board is not the the best i am afraid and is known to have VRM cooling issues, how is your case airflow? Some people have solved the issue by adding an extra fan pointing directly at the VRMs. They did fix the VRM cooling issue on the newer MSI x570 boards.
  4. With three fans i would most likely use 2 intake and 1 exhaust, so then you would atleast have positive pressure.
  5. The 5950X runs hot realisticly in any scenario unless you have a custom water cooled loop, you should expect idle temps of 35c+/40c+ and load temps of 80c+/90c+. A voltage of 1.45v is normal as the cpu will use less voltage when it is underload, 1.45v is normally seen around idle to light load. You can reduce temps slighty by setting PBO Limits to disabled which will lock the cpu to its own default power draw etc. Also for thos looking for a dramatic drop in temps with a certain degree of performance loss ECO Mode is another option. Make sure you also have enough exhaust fans to compliment the amount of intake you have so you actually have airflow and air not becoming trapped inside the case.
  6. The ASUS VG248QE is not listed on tftcentral so you need to find a model on there with an equivalent panel, also when checking you need to view the Responsiveness section of there testing because it is never as simple as 1ms vs 4ms. They take OD Setting in to account & G2G Average/Rise time average/Fall time average/RTC error average % (and some IPS panels do come out on top).
  7. IPS panels are not always less responsive than TN panels and other times the MS difference is so small it is not noticeable, the MS quoted in most monitor descriptions/spec is never the real world equivalent but more of a best case scenario. As i recommend to most people use tftcentral (website) to check out these kind of statistics.
  8. Even when you get recommendations from forum members it is always a good idea to google search companys who sell the item and look at some reviews/feedback, also look for professional reveiwers who maybe use high tech equipment to test response times and panel quality. Research is invaluable.
  9. There has been a lot of good recommendations already in this thread, all the monitors you have choosen are good. Take a look at the tftcentral website for some more detailed information on the type of monitors you are looking at, a lot use the same panel type if the specific brand is not listed there. If you only play FPS games then maybe it would be better to look in to a TN panel if you are worried about the varying quality of IPS/VA.
  10. -Acer XB271HU -Asus PG279Q Are two very good choices with a lot of recommendations, if you can afford a G-Sync monitor i would go for it because if you are purchasing a 2080 then you are not likely to be changing the GPU any time soon.

    monitor

    Refresh rate doesn't dynamically adjust to match frame rate. In other words, although you are only getting 60 'unique frames' every second, the monitor is essentially duplicating the frames to fit into its refresh rate. The monitor is also giving you twice as much 'visual feedback' every second in relation to your controller movements so things will seem much more fluid than at 60Hz. The benefit gained by additional frame rate (ideally 120fps) would be an additional reduction in motion blur.
  12. They are all good monitors but the most popular ones by far are.. Asus PG279Q ROG Swift Acer XB271HU bmiprz I have seen a lot more issues with Asus quality control than Acer on this panel but that is not to say Acer has also had its fair share.
  13. I think you are missing the point, all panel types can have problems (VA/IPS/TN) but some are more prone to others. IPS have more chance of BLB / VA have more chance of ghosting/motion blur, the phrase lottery is used because it is just luck on what type of panel you will end up with (no issues/minor issues/major issues).
  14. The chance of getting a decent product/fault free product, same as many hardware products i.e gpu (gpu lottery). Don't get me wrong it should not be a thing when you spend so much money on a item but..
