I ordered the UV blue from frozen cpu, it is COMPLETELY CLEAR in normal light unless you hit it with UV, in which case the room must be very dark in order to see the blue glow

Actually, buying from a post like that is scary and here's why: 1)UV Rigid acrylic tubing is clear under normal light with a slight SLIGHT hue of whatever uv color it turns when struck with UV light 2)That picture is depicting their dark blue color, not the light blue, which means the seller is not aware that Primochill sells 3 different colors of blue 3)The description lists PETG tubing but is showing acrylic tubing Summing this all up, they have the dark blue color and UV blue colors depicted but have the regular blue color listed in the selling title. Point in case, whoever buys from that link won't actually know what color they are getting, but I guarantee its not the ice blue color I'm looking for. On top of all this are you getting the PETG listed in the title or one of the two types of acrylic depicted in their pictures? (the world may never know)

So I'm looking for a light blue tubing color as depicted on the far left of this picture. This pic was taken from the primochill website but unfortunately they have shopping disabled so I cannot order from their website. I tried all of the vendors on primochills vendor list and still no one sells light blue tubing. Does ANYONE know how I can get rigid acrylic tubing in this light blue color?

Here's What I have set in stone so far (as in already purchased ) Case: Phantek Enthoo Primo White edition Graphics: 2x GTX Titan Black edition Ram : 32gigs corsair dominator platinum Monitor: Asus PB287Q 28in 4K UHD Memory: Samsung 840 evo 500gb and 7200rpm Seagate 2TB Here's My dilemma 1) Power Supply = undecided, not the real issue though Originally I was going to go with Processor: 4770 K Mobo: Gigiabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H After watching Linus's recent 4K gaming rig computer build I am wondering why he choose the 6-core processor and the asus mobo. I noticed his mobo runs a native SLI of x 16 x 16 whereas my current choice is only x 16 and x8 (is this why he went with his more expensive set up?). His cpu/mobo combo seems less appealing to me from a gaming standpoint. Can the linus community please help me point out some of my flaws in my build and help me pull the trigger on the processor mobo combo? I would like to run a 4K display at 60 fps for just about all games. Money isn't a major issue, but at the same time I don't want to spend money on unnecessary items ( I know I know, the titans right? I felt the titans were required for 60 fps on my monitor after researching benchmarks and even though 780ti's may have done the trick, the titans were the pride point of my build).

Why make a x 16 bandwidth then? Also, why is it that a GPU won't cap the x8? Sorry if these questions seem dumb but I'm rather new to this stuff.

So linus just made a video on a 4k gaming rig display. He choose a 2011 socket type board, for what only reason I can think of, is because when the 2011 boards are running SLI they are running the two cards at both x 16 bandwidth. The popular z87 and z97 socket 1150 motherboards (mainly) run SLI cards at one card at x16 and one card at x8 bandwidth. Will the z87 and z97 motherboards get much lower frame rates in SLI on a 4K display because of there reduced bandwidth capabilities on the SLI cards? I worded this poorly but I think you get the picture. THE 4K PICTURE!

I am very curious to this question as I cannot seem to find reliable benchmarks myself searching the googles. Anyways, I believe Linus opted for the 2011 board because it can run SLI cards at the x16 bandwidth for both cards at the same time. Most of the popular z87 and z97 boards can only run SLI with the 1 card @ x 16 and the other card @x8. When running 4k gaming rigs will this make a big difference?
