    ekkelekkekt got a reaction from SethK in How can I add bluetooth to my pc build?   
    Thank you, I will check it out
     
    Well, sometimes the solution can be that simple

    Honestly yes the top of the monitor can at times be more difficult to see with 43 inches. I only have a 24 inch depth desk though so im very close to it. if i had a 32-36 inch one i dont think this would be a problem. I Personally would say go for 40 inches over 43. PPI is slightly better and helps with the height problem somewhat.  I think a Monitor 4k at 38 inches or about would be the perfect size not that any exist. 
     
    Though the Silly part about people saying its too big a lot of them then recommend 2 24 inch or 27 inch monitors.  and that is decently wider then a 40 inch and you have to turn your head more to see it then the  40 inch.  2 27 inch monitors will be wider then a 55 inch TV.
     
    The big positive to Some smaller monitors is the High refresh rates. a 1440p 27 inch 144hz is sort of the middle ground for everything and very well rounded
     
    You get 144hz which  4k is stuck at 60hz typically.
    You get 1440p wich is better then 1080p but still not close to 4k
    27 inches is a decent size.  but not too big or small. 
     
     
     
    anyway build looks nice  little expensive for my tastes but Thats not really a negative. Pcs also are a little more then ussualy now with high GPU Ram and SSD pricing.

    As all the previous said, custom loop is worth it. FYI, a 1080 WILL NOT get you 1440 144hz max settings - Witcher 3 maxed gets about 80 with hairworks and 90 without. Pubg gets 60-70 maxed. Overwatch will get you 90 maxed and doom about 90-100 maxed too. (Source: I have 1440p + 1080). So go for a better GPU over better cooling, because air cooled models are good, but you wont be hitting 2000mhz on air with Amazing temps.

    @ekkelekkekt My opinion:
     
    For performance? - Not worth the investment (especially in your case if getting a 1080Ti is the alternative)
    For looks - Yes, I think it looks great
    For silence - Yes, and this is in my opinion the principle gain in custom water cooling
    For longevity - Maybe, but you will likely replace the components before you get to the point of noticing differences in degradation.

    I would say depends on your case and form factor and if you plan to overclock.  If your building a SFF PC I highly recommend going at least AIO.  If you plan to overclock liquid cooling without a doubt helps.  
     
    1080 Ti is the most future proof gaming card at the moment since it can do 4K 60Hz Ultra at 60 FPS in most games, but if you don't play at those specs a good 1080, 1070 Ti, or even 1070 in SLI would be nice as well

    ekkelekkekt reacted to billstelling in Is water cooling worth it?   
    Agreed.. Not to mention, the water cooled variants are much cheaper due to the fact that the miners tend to stay away from them. In fact, they seem to be holding at their suggested prices and tend to be easier to find and buy at a reasonable price.. You could pretty much pay for the water parts just from the savings. Yeah, weird.. isn't it. But it's a side effect of the times..

    ekkelekkekt reacted to knightslugger in Is water cooling worth it?   
    You're gonna want a 1080ti for 144hz 1440p. aircooled might be an option, but you'd be far better served (though more expense) to get it liquid cooled.
  8. Agree
    ekkelekkekt reacted to Santo22 in Is water cooling worth it?   
    if you do a custom loop, yes. it will need to be drained and water changed at some point. and of course, there's always the chance of leaks or components failing like the pump. I mean, the possibility of failed components can be had with anything, but adding a water loop you are adding more points of failure. An AIO could fail as well, but less likely.

    once a year ain't so bad. beats the three times a year on cleaning DUST.

    ekkelekkekt reacted to knightslugger in Is water cooling worth it?   
    high refresh rate a requirement? You may want a custom loop here... You'll find partner card manufacturers generally have decent supply of 1080ti's with their water blocks ready to go at reasonable prices, and to be honest that's the way i'd go if i was looking for a high power gaming rig.
     
    The just hit EKWB up for a CPU block, and a think 360mm rad and a D5 pump and reservoir kit and you're in business.
  11. Agree
    ekkelekkekt reacted to Santo22 in Is water cooling worth it?   
    I would say it depends on how much effort and time you are willing to devote to the system. If you want to get it together in a set and forget it kind of way, air cooling is the best option. If you are like me and others on this forum and actually enjoy building, tearing down and rebuilding, then water cooling will keep your components cooler, allow for higher clocks and overall lengthen the life of your products. That all comes at the effort of draining and cleaning and making sure everything is working properly with no leaks and what not. If you're somewhere in the middle, then an AIO for the CPU and the 1080ti will be just fine. It all comes down to you and what you want out of the system.

    Not yet anyways.. I only broke two monitors while trying to make a homemade VR headset which is a good thing in my book.
    As the saying goes, you can't make an egg without breaking a few omelets first.

    Hell yeah, with duct tape to all those the back of all those iPhones, can make a bendable display, like 360 degrees! Something a single large monitor can't do.

    Yes 42 iphone 8+ screens glued together in a rectangular grid, is better than a single 30" monitor.

    its all preference 40 inch 4k screens are nice to me. same desity as 20" 1080p but 4 of them no bezels.
     
    I use a 28 inch 4k and 43 inch 4k for my set up. i understand some dislike this Size though.
     
    Please post a study showing you go blind looking at  a large screen vs a small one. i Really dont believe this is true

    I agree with @Lurick still don't understand the need for a monitor that big but people want what they want.

    A 49" monitor... are you trying to open a door to the future..
     
    Having multiple smaller ones would be better in my opinion, but that all depends on what you want to do and the distance between you and the monitor
