    Gandorfin got a reaction from OnionRings in Gsync or bust?   
    I'm using gtx 1080 with freesync monitor and it works really well there is this fan made list of some fressync  monitors and how well they behave with Nvidia G-Sync compatible mode https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ej9mOe5NamLldpfyFfXrqvLMZP-aG2Zi1su7QzPRNJY/edit#gid=0
    it also list min and max frame rates where freesync works on each monitor some have rather high ranges like 40-144hz others less
     
    ps. other list I haven't checked yet but it seems to have some different screens tested https://www.esportstales.com/tech-tips/list-of-nvidia-gsync-compatible-freesync-monitors-tested-by-community

    Yep, every one of them.

    Hmm. What useful things can a user tell you about a PSU's quality that a reviewer may forget?
     
    I think if all you have is user reviews, then you don't have reviews at all.
    User reviews can't tell you anything about the most important factors of a PSU, which are power quality (that encompasses load regulation, voltage regulation, ripple, transient response, crossload performance, and a multitude of metrics expensive and difficult to measure) and components durability (which requires opening it and knowledge to evaluate if they're good).
     
    User reviews will only tell you if the cables look nice, if it has lots of connectors, or if it's subjectively loud or quiet to the user's ears, which is altogether as useful as reviewing a graphics card's appearance, noise and power consumption, without writing a single word about FPS or performance.
     
    Would you buy a graphics card based on a user reviewing it as "looks good, works, has lots of memory, is quiet to me" without knowing how fast it is in games? If not, then you wouldn't rate a PSU based on user review which only says "is quiet to me, has nice braided cables, good case finish" that says nothing about output power quality.

    Gandorfin got a reaction from Dipypang in Front Fan setup for Meshify C   
    I would go with three 120mm fans It's better for cooling gpu along with cpu rather than just concertinaing on upper half.
    Tbh. I would go with some other fans with higher static pressure than Noctua NF-S12A like for ex. Arctic BioniX P120 PWM, SilverStone FQ121, Fractal Design Venturi HP-12 PWM, Enermax DF Pressure (this has really good stats on paper for both airflow and static pressure though how good is in practice idk?).
    Or if you want to spend more money you could go for Noctua NF-A12x25 one of best fans on market or Nidec Servo Gentle Typhoon (over 2000rpm variants) those are superb top tier fans.
    The higher static pressure helps push air better through rather restrictive mesh filter and it makes quite a difference in Meshify C.
