The Cow

I'm looking at picking up a high refresh 1440p monitor and the FI27Q-P looks pretty good, It is on sale for $550 (same price as the non -P). The computer is used strictly for gaming, I don't do any creative work and all work related stuff is done on a work provided computer. I normally couch game on 55NU8000 but play RTS games on some old 22" 1080p 75hz monitor and want to step it up a bit. Price is not really an issue as I would rather pay for something that will be used for a few years at least but am not looking to spend $1k. Would any of you recommend this monitor for me? Any input would be appreciated. Spcs: 8700K 16 GB 3200mhz 2080S Founders

I've thought of doing the m.2 drive myself and retiring the old external HDDs but have read that data retention is pretty short when no power is applied, short in comparison to HDDs. The movie idea is great, I have downloaded so much media i have no interest to my phone when given 8 hour notice that i have to fly out.

Same, I'm sure there are a whole host of uses but i'v never been in a position or industry that required it.

This one is a good use case for me. Downloading games to my laptop is way faster than copy from desktop SSD to external HDD then copy to laptop SSD. I knew i'd get some good ones from you guys. Most are outside of my activities but it gives reason to why so many are so large.

I picked up a couple new flash drives to replace some 2.0 and even 1.0 drives and noticed that most start at the 32GB point and going up from there is not terribly expensive by comparison. my main use over a gig is storing a recent set of drivers and install media in case i totally bork something and my 130 some gigs of MP3 fit on my phone for car listening. I'm just curious what others have found useful in having large capacity flash drives.

Man, think I’m good, no stress marks on the pcb. A week of worrying if you messed up a one week old 2080 is stressful.

Thanks for the insight, I will definitely pull it when I get back in town. It happened just before I had to catch a flight and has been eating at me ever since.

I was doing some cable management the other day and kinda screwed up. I wasn’t paying attention and removed the GPU hold down screw while the case was vertical and the gpu kinda fell. It didn’t pull out of its slot but was hanging at an extreme angle. So far everything seems to function ok and the motherboard is advertised as having steel strengthened pcie slots but is there any underlying issues I should look for? Anyone ever do this themselves?

Thanks, it does help a lot to get an idea of how the Ventus will handle in the 20 series or something that will actually start to produce significant heat. I'm going to just go 2080 super FE when they are back in stock, was out of the country when they went on sale and missed the first wave.

If it really was "terrible" then the ratings on newegg and Amazon would mirror that. Maybe someones previous card was slightly quieter so it's automatically unacceptably loud and hot.

You can search Ventus on this forum and find a few examples, most I've found saying terrible claim the Ventus is a re-brand of the Armor which I guess sucked in the 10 series.

Just curious if anyone has experience with MSI Ventus cards, more specifically the RTX 2080 and 2080 ti. How are thermals and noise? Not many reviews on them and most comments are in reference to the GTX 10 series being terrible.

I'm glad it worked for you. The remote mount helped a lot for with bluetooth for couch/TV gaming with a PS4 controller, it was worse than using a joycon more than 5 feet from a switch.
