    Including installing the last known good version that your games worked with?

    Sounds about right for a stock cooler. If you want to bring them down you can pick up something like a Cooler Master Hyper 212 (under $30) but as long as everything works and it's not thermal throttling I wouldn't worry too much.

    You might have to roll back to an older version of the driver. Install DDU, use it to remove all the Nvidia drivers from your system, and download the older version that your games worked on from Nvidia's site https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

    So I have a Swiftech H220x from a few years ago that's currently cooling my 6600k. I've been looking into getting a waterblock for my gpu (reference vega 64) and expanding the loop to cool it as well. I'm a bit "out of the loop" (heh) when it comes to watercooling, so I would appreciate some pointers as to the hardware (fittings, etc) I would need to be able to integrate a second waterblock into the loop. Thanks for the help.

    Huh, that's really odd.. did you clo Huh, that's really odd... I see some Xeon stuff in there too? Was this a fresh install of windows or did you clone it from another machine?

    Do any of those programs have their own ability to set which GPU they use?
  7. snowfox99
    Those are rarer and as such typically more expensive than comparable adapters from HDMI or DisplayPort
  8. snowfox99
    Straight DVI to VGA won't work in their case as that's a DVI-D port, they'd need an active adapter.
  9. snowfox99
    You can pick up a cheap DisplayPort to VGA adapter fro Amazon or Ebay, should work fine.

    Yeah, it only works for switching between iGPU and a dedicated card. What reason would you have to keep the old 1070 in your system anyway?

    I would pick a 1440p high refresh monitor over a 4k 60hz one in an instant. Everything just feels so much better, even web browsing and basic desktop use, and ESPECIALLY gaming. Also, a game running at 1440p on a native 1440p monitor will look significantly sharper than a 1440p game upscaled to a 4k monitor. The only exception I would say is if you wanted to focus on visual content creation like photo or video editing, in which case yeah the extra res will probably be helpful.

    IMO, you can have just as much fun with a $30 used Wii from a garage sale as you can with a $10K PC setup. sure, the PC will let you play wayyyy higher-end and more graphically intense games, but a measure of "fun" in gaming has nothing to do with the graphical caliber of the games you play or on what hardware you run them on.

    I'd estimate that the cost of the custom components required to make something like that work (basically an entire motherboard that fits in a pcie slot) would be as much or greater than just buying a seperate entry-level motherboard.

    https://dl.ubnt.com/datasheets/edgemax/EdgeRouter_X_DS.pdf if you look at page 5 of the datasheet it clearly says that the POE port does 10/100/1000. Very misleading on Ubiquiti's part.

    4k 120 tvs?

    snowfox99 replied to Rdpruitt's topic in Displays

    I just want something with a 21:9 aspect ratio and 100-144hz that's larger than 35"

    snowfox99 replied to Rdpruitt's topic in Displays

    Yeah probably, but I prefer Linux for HTPC usage anyway so not a huge deal

    Not that I know of, no.

    snowfox99 replied to Rdpruitt's topic in Displays

    I'm using Windows right now on my 100hz 34" Crossover, so it's not a Windows issue. My guess is that LG doesn't expose that display mode on the EDID data, but Ubuntu (and probably other linux distros but haven't tested) doesn't care and will output it anyway.

    snowfox99 replied to Rdpruitt's topic in Displays

    My LG 60" 4K can do native 120HZ at 1080p, but Ubuntu is the only OS I've tested that can actually detect/output that mode. Windows maxes out at 60 for whatever reason. Works great in Ubuntu tho.

    snowfox99 replied to Rdpruitt's topic in Displays

    No display interface on any TV is going to support an input capable of 4k 120hz, it's simply too much bandwith for something like HDMI 2.0. However, TVs with true 120Hz panels can be utilized by frame interpolation to give the appearance of a smoother image even at 4k, or at native 120Hz from a PC at 1080p. Maybe once HDMI 2.1 becomes commonplace we might start to see native 4K120 but definitely not until then.

    So I've been using a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X for my home network and it's been fantastic for the most part, except recently, no matter what device I plug into port4, it only is able to negotiate a link speed of 100mbps. Plugging the same exact device with the same exact cable into another port gives me gigabit full duplex with no issues. Anyone else experienced this?

    I enjoy my IPS panel, even for gaming I do think the colors look a lot nicer than TN, but high quality TN panels can admittedly look pretty damn good
  23. snowfox99
    Definitely not complaining, but that upload speed is a little silly to pair with a 1G down connection, don't you think?
  24. snowfox99
    Hah no problem, also if you get a motherboard that doesn't have a z87 or z97 chipset you won't be able to overclock your CPU, just something to keep in mind
  25. snowfox99
    The 4690k is 1150 though, 1151 is for the 6th gen and newer chips.
