Chrjz got a reaction from Silent_Xaxal in ASUS ROG SWIFT 1440P 120HZ MONITOR RELEASE DATE
"Why is the display TN rather than IPS/PVA/MVA, etc?
Not all TNs are made the same: the premium panel used in the PG278Q is of very high quality. IPS panels (and their derivatives like PVA/MVA etc) are not suitable for a multitude of reasons: 1) the response rate is simply not fast enough to react to the active change in refresh rate and 2) They cannot reliably achieve >60Hz without significantly affecting the quality of the image. IGZO technology (and LTPS low temperature polysilicon likewise) yields 100***8242;s of times faster electron mobility versus standard amorphous silicon panels and thus can provide a response rate comparable to TN (up to 60Hz currently), but, however desirable this technology is, it is still currently cost prohibitively for many PC gaming enthusiasts in 2014, which is why ROG has used a better price:performance, high quality TN panel."
Excited to hear Linus's opinion on this one, especially since he's usually pretty harsh on TN panels.

Chrjz got a reaction from tristan1035 in My First Custom Loop
So, I probably put my first computer together around the age of 13...
Here's a quick pic of that bad boy:
Nice cable management
Anyway... having built a few computers since then, I was interested in more of a challenge, so I decided to give water cooling a shot.
I've had a closed loop on my CPU before and wasn't that impressed; besides, what I really wanted from it was a silent video card as that has always been the loudest component.
Getting down to it, this isn't so much a build log, as it is a couple pictures of my finished rig. Here they are:
That's it.
If anyone is interested in specs, they are as follows:
3570k @ 4.3GHz 780 @ 1240MHz (core) 7GHz (memory) 16GB RAM @ 1600MHz GA-Z77X-UD3H Seagate HDD.15 4TB 2x Intel 520 120GB in RAID 0 Seasonic X-650 Thank you for taking the time to have a look; she's not amazing but I'm proud of her.
On a side note, how lame is it to use feminine pronouns when talking about a computer?
