@ThatOneRussian: Exactly. Im already on a 144hz monitor and I get around 130fps in bf4 and that's just so buttery smooth. @rhyseyness: It's a 34" monitor and Linus said in his review of the BenQ XR3501 that the scaling in windows was off a bit. Really torn on this. The big question is in reality how noticable the jump from 75fps to 120fps is. Being a gamer at heart Ive always prefered more fps over resolution but since I will also use this for work (huge spreadsheets and videoediting among other things) I am wondering if I should go for higher resolution this time.

I currently have a BenQ 24" 144hz monitor now and I am getting an upgrade for it. Work is allowing me to pick a 21:9 monitor and I am not sure if I should go for 1080p 144hz or 1440p 75hz. The smoothness of 120fps is so damn addictive, but considering I could get a G-sync monitor in 1440p and that I could never hope to push past 75hz anyway with my 980 on such a large panel, maybe G-sync at 75 fps would provide the better experience than 120 fps at 1080p? I will also use it for work productivity, and according to some review sites, 21:9 in 1080p causes some wierd scaling issues and that 1440p is much prefered to work on. Any advice, personal experience or anything else would be very welcome.

@AlwaysFSX Guess I won the silicon lottery then, I wont push the core further but I'll try to squeeze a bit more speed out of the memory though. @Archangel1994 What do you mean? I just run kombustor and GPU-Z? :-) /Jake

Hi everyone. I've overclocked my Asus gtx 970 strix, but the numbers Im getting doesnt seem quite right. The coreclock seems quite high and I'm hesitant to push memory/core any further untill I know I'm not screwing something up. So, if anyone knows anything about this, do these numbers seem right or am I reading it wrong? This is a stable overclock mind you. I've run Kombustor for 4 hours and played BF4 for 3 hours afterwards without as much as a single pixel in the wrong place. Thanks in advance. Jake

Hi everyone. I was reading about how amd is supposed to use HBM on their next cards and it made me wonder if we could possibly see an upgrade to current nvidia cards with that memory? I don't know if that's even possible but I was wondering if they could upgrade a current card (980) with six or eight gb HBM? Or does that require a different architecture? /luri Sent from my GT-I9100 using Forum Fiend v1.3.

Thanks for the info. :-) I've decided to do extension cables instead and make a bend acrylic piece to hide the psu. I'll pull the extension cable through rubber grommets to hook up to the psu cables below. The crossed wires was messing with my OCD so couldn't have it. :-P

Thanks for your comments guys, I'll find a way to sleeve around this then. :-)

Thank you very much. I'll make sure I pay alot of attention to the individual cables. :-)

I am sleeving my cables on my OCZ and I noticed that the wires arent "straight over" from the PSU plug to the GPU side, meaning the bottom left cable from the PSU side doesnt go into the bottom left slot on the GPU side. I'm thinking the PSU manufactures can do whatever output diagram they like as long as the input diagram is the same? I am thinking that I have to be carefull to put them back in the same slot I take the plug of out even if it makes it look crossed when using different colours. Right? /Luri

I bought this one and it works perfect. Just extend the cables. http://www.dx.com/p/vga-desktop-power-button-switch-module-w-dual-usb-for-pc-white-120cm-cable-246860#.VIGlOjGG_y0 Edit: Since that is sold out this might be an option instead. http://www.dx.com/p/jm-202-desktop-power-button-switch-module-for-pc-black-110cm-cable-121234#.VIGlxjGG_y0

I am about to sleeve my OCZ powersupply cables and I noticed that on the PCI-E power cables is a small resistor/capacitor attached betweed two of the cables near the GPU plug. What are the function of these? Are they save to remove or do I have to figure out how to sleeve the cables with those small cylindrical shapes somehow? Thanks in advance for any replies. /Luri.

Just created a bootable USB and I still get the same message. Wth is this? Edit: Just created the boot drive in transmac witout a problem and it still requires internet acces and apple ID/Pass and I still get the same message?

Hmm, wont open the firmware prompt. I just get to the system recovery program. I tried using the command in terminal but that didnt work.

Thanks for the reply Spook, but it still says that the service is temporarily unavailable. I would never have imagined that you could hardlock yourself out of your own product that you bought and paid for like that.

I was so careless to promise my friend to take a look at his imac 24" early 2008. It freezes randomly on normal use and he wanted a clean install of his os. Now, I followed apple's guide and deleted everything on the drive and then went to reinstall via system restoration tool. I type in his id and pass but keep getting" this service is temporarily unavailable " A bit of Google tells me that Apple wants you to reinstall from within the running OS but that wasn't possible due to the freeze issues. All I get from support is that I should take it to a care center and pay them to do it, which I'm not going to. Next is a bootable USB but that requires another Mac computer or a very complicated way in windows. I'd rather not do that so is there any other way of getting the OS back on that computer without all this ridiculous hazzle?
