    i dont know ::( which would you choose?

    so if I want the upgrade to improve my video watching experience, not concerned with games, which would be the better buy?

    So right now I'm using 2 27" asus mx279H monitors and I want to upgrade soon to a 3 monitor display. I have 2 questions. First question is why is an asus 4K monitor with 1ms latency and 28" the same price as a MX279AQ 27" 2k with 5ms? Second question is would it be better to buy the UHD 28" instead of the MX279AQ that matches the design of my 2 current monitors if the prices are the same?

    Everything runs perfectly, performance is higher and the temps never go past 80 or 85C, I just get a black screen rarely, should i still throttle it back?

    what if I'm not too worried about the 660?

    I am currently using the V2 and it keeps my CPU at around 60C at 100% load, i7 6700k overclocking itself to 4.2ghz so I am very happy with it, highly recommended

    So I am overclocking my GTX 660 a little, not a lot, and during high load it will sometimes give me a black screen for a second or two before coming back just fine, still playing the game or benchmark with the same settings. What is causing this and should I be alarmed? It doesn't happen very often so I'm fine leaving my oc settings where they are as long as it isn't causing any serious damage. I mean it's a GTX 660, I'm not too worried about it, lol.

    So I have 2 ASUS 27 inch monitors, and they are just sitting about an inch too low. Is there any easy solution to this? I just want the monitors about an inch higher than they are now so I don't have to change the default angle on them to have perfect line of sight with them. Any tips or suggestions are welcomed, thank you.

    So I've spent a little over $2,000 on my setup so far, but I live in a desert with 4 cats and everything gets dirty very fast. We have dust devils (which are mini sand tornados) here pretty often so there's a lot of loss dirt in the air to be blown in. I was wondering, if I had an intake fan in both windows with filters on them, would it be possible to create positive air pressure in my room and reduce the amount of dirt that gets in? If anyone has any other suggestions or advice I would be happy to hear it. Thanks.

    price range?
  12. Kevin11
    thanks, should I get the 4K version of the same monitor and have it in the middle? what wireless card would you suggest?
  13. Kevin11
    this is all the stuff i already have and I don't do a lot of gaming, the 660 takes care of my current gaming needs, but i do a lot of video editing

    http://pcpartpicker.com/list/y2hgnn So I don't really spend a lot of time gaming so the GTX 660 is fine, beyond that what would you suggest the next upgrade or two to be?

    This seems crazy to me, so there is literally no reason for a 3.0 x16 to exist yet? there is no instance where a 3.0 x16 would ever be needed over a 3.0 x8?

    Is the razer blade significantly less of a product than the ones that are a few 100 more?
  17. Kevin11
    purely for aesthetics and because I won't be spending $1,000 on a graphics card for a few more years, I am using my 2nd slot instead of my first, which is a pci-e 3.0 x8 slot. If I were going to upgrade my graphics card what is the highest I would want to go? Would say a GTX 980 or 1070 bottleneck at all on a 3.0 x8 slot?
  18. Kevin11
    bigger screen, faster refresh rates, bigger ssd? that's an easy choice if $100 isn't a big deal
  19. Kevin11
    ok so basically my internet will drop off for about 10-30 seconds maybe once a day at most and idk why, how to fix??
  20. Kevin11
    Thank you for the quick responses
  21. Kevin11
    Figured so, thanks ^^ so am I still safe to overclock at the same speeds as before?
  22. Kevin11
    Alright so I'm using a sabertooth z170 s motherboard and the build just looks way better having the graphics card in the second slot. But I am confused because it says that the motherboard has 3x 3.0 16x pci-e slots, and the bottom two run in 8x only when they are doing SLI so why am I getting x8 from the second slot with a single GTX 660 and will this make a noticeable difference in the performance of a 660? Can I still overclock just as much?

    so after observing my gameplay on my other game, it appears to be the video engine load that's responsible not the gpu load, when the video engine load hits about 40% FPS starts to drop and the sound quality deteriorates, what could be the cause of this?
  24. Kevin11
    750w, way more than i need
  25. Kevin11
    oh yeah, i've gone through ALL of the basic steps
