    How to protect your electronic devices from CME I feel this information will soon be very useful with the coronal mass ejections currently on their way to Earth. How can we keep our computers protected?

    A chassis that triples as a radiator, reservoir, and fully functional case This case would BE everything you need for water cooling. I'm not talking about a case with all the liquid cooling essentials included inside of it, what i mean is to use each water cooling part as a piece of the case. Radiators with included fans for the side panels and top, dual reservoirs in the front and back, and a replaceable pump somewhere easily accessible. I'm sure such a case would cost upwards of $400, but I'd certainly buy one if the temps were topping the charts. Not only would such a case potentially save a lot of time setting up liquid cooling, it should also save a lot space inside and present a cleaner look.

    It really just comes down to if your processor needs exotic cooling, and that one does not - air is more than fine. If it were a 3900x or 3950x, it would be another story.

    Yeah, for sure. Know what's weird though? My PC feels more responsive and zippier than before installing this monitor. Typically a much higher res monitor would slow things down a bit, but in my case things seem quicker. Could it be that my GPU is taking over more of the work now? Or is this just a placebo with 100hz monitors lol

    Too bad you can't OC that processor, or you'd be able to expand that bottleneck a bit. It might be worth looking for a used K variant or i7 on LGA 1151.

    Did a clean reinstall make any difference?
  7. criznittle
    Have you tried a clean reinstall of NVIDIA drivers?
  8. criznittle
    Yes, i have GeForce Experience and recently reinstalled the latest drivers in my attempt to get 100hz functional. I also have the latest monitor driver from ViewSonic, and FreeSync is enabled. I think the problem may be that I'm still on Windows 7. I won't be moving to 10 until i build a new PC in coming months. If i can enable G-SYNC on windows 7 - I'm all eyes.

    G-SYNC doesn't show up for me, but I was able to enable 100hz and FreeSync with a bit of work. Hopefully it's about as good, as i don't think my monitor is supported by NVIDIA's technology. Besides that, everything looks good. I'm still using my old PC(2500k/1660 Ti), so newer games don't run great at 3440x1440, but they do run, and they look incredible compared to what I was used to at 24" 1080p 60hz.

    I really considered it when i saw 42" 4k monitors on sale for $350, but that's just too big for my desk and i can't move back far enough to appreciate it while still being able to use the kb and mouse. Computer monitors seem to have better technology for various professions and gaming too.

    I heard Gsync was opened up to all video cards, but didn't know you could use it with a non-Gsync monitor. I am using an Nvidia card, and plan to use freesync of course. Are you saying I can gain some sort of additional benefit by enabling Gsync without the additional Gsync hardware in my monitor? Never heard of this.
  12. criznittle
    Yeah, Jedi is pretty rough - even at 1080p. 110+ on those other games is good, I'd probably replay them just to experience the resolution difference. Is there a preference for DP or HDMI 2.0 on these monitors?

    I'm wondering now where that exposed wire is hanging. Definitely need a new PSU after that.
  14. criznittle
    Yeah, wut? You cut a cord that's connected to your PSU?
  15. criznittle
    Ah nice, appreciate the information - very helpful. Which games do you play that get 110-180fps? I don't play competitive games much. If you don't mind checking these games: Jedi Fallen Order, AC:Odyssey, Octopath Traveler lol, The Outer Worlds. What FPS, and how do they look at that resolution? I'm debating waiting for Ampere, though the 2080 Super is certainly appealing right now. I wouldn't mind seeing some pictures of your setup, and with any games running at 3440x1440.
