  1. MSI GTX 780ti. Still running it since I'm happy at 1080p and would like my next display to be a 4k one (not 1440p) which might take a couple of years to become economical and also by then there might be graphics cards that can run games at 4k maxed out without any drop in FPS.
  2. A very helpful thread. However, about deionized water I read somewhere that it corrodes copper. Here's the link: http://van.physics.illinois.edu/qa/listing.php?id=17632
  3. So there's no other solution than using a different browser?
  4. I'm having trouble pasting text using the clipboard in my posts. I'm using Internet Explorer 11. When I click on the paste icon the web browser asks me if I want to allow the website to access the clipboard. I click on allow and then the clipboard commands become active using the left mouse button (I'm using a left-handed moue). However when I click on paste nothing happens. Secondly I'm really frustrated with the link command on the toolbar. When I click on it and paste the URL in the required field and click OK the dialog box remains as it is and nothing happens. Even if I click on cancel or click on the cross on the top right hand corner the dialog box doesn't go away. the only way to make it go away is going to the previous page.
  5. I'm running an Ivy bridge 3770k. Will the upcoming Maxwell cards (I'm assuming that they'll have an x80 or something like that for their high end card) bottleneck my CPU? Currently I've got an gigabyte gtx-680 SOC. Should I wait for the Maxwell or buy a non-reference 780ti? (I'm only playing at 1080p for now, no plans on changing the monitor, for this year alteast).
  6. Will the skylake line support DDR4 RAM or is that only for the server editions and EEs? Will skylake have native support for PCI-E 4.0 or will it be too early for that?
  7. thanks everyone for the replies. I have no experience with paint brushes made out of real hair so how do I tell the difference?
  8. Linus did a video on dust cleaning the "rough manly way', I think. In it he used a paint brush to clean his motherboard's PCB. Are all types paint brushes alright for such tasks? Are there any precautions to be taken when using them? Is there a special way to store them so that they don't acquire static electricity?
  9. thanks, guys. I have an IVB 3770K with 16GB of corsair vengeance RAM at 1600. With my processor what would be the optimal frequency for the RAM if I don't plan on overclocking the CPU? I think my mobo supports upto 32GB. What frequency/capacity combo would be best?
  10. I was looking at the specs for the Gigabyte G1.Sniper 5 motherboard. This is from the Supported RAM section: Dual channel memory architecture Support for DDR3 3000(O.C.) / 2933(O.C.) / 2800(O.C.) / 2666(O.C.) / 2600(O.C.) / 2500(O.C.) / 2400(O.C.) / 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 2000(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1800(O.C.) / 1600 / 1333 MHz memory modules Support for non-ECC memory modules Support for Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) memory modules What I wanted to know is if (O.C.) next to the bandwidth means overclocked, then does it have to be the processor or the RAM or both that have to be overclocked. I don't understand this. Why is there no (O.C.) typed next to !600 / 1333 MHz? Secondly, there are RAM kits available with higher bandwidths than 1600, so, for example a kit with a bandwidth of 2400 MHz will also need overclocking or will it just run fine by using one of the XMP profiles in the BIOS? One more question, I think (correct me if I'm wrong) I heard Linus say (when he did the Haswell unboxing/review) that the IMC on the Haswell chip allows RAM of higher bandwidths to be run without overclocking, so why is this motherboard supporting higher bandwidths with overclocking only?
  11. Thanks, I'll wait then. I love these long build guides. Really something to watch over the weekend.
  12. Can there be another video on an overkill liquid cooling build guide but this time using the Cooler Master HAF stacker series cases? I'm interested to find out how the HAF stacker 935, stacker 915r and the stacker 915f would perform together in a liquid cooled setup. I'm not sure if anyone else has also asked for such video on this forum and this is my first post so I'm posting it in the General Discussion section.
