  1. After trying a few games I have gone back to just running my monitor at 1080p thanks to some input lag being introduced and whilst it did look good I just couldn't play any games with it like it was. Frame rates were still easily acceptable.
  2. Had a look at this myself and found my monitor will go up to 2560x1600 @ 60hz and will not go any higher on the resolution or refresh rate. My monitor is a AOC E2795VH and I am running Dual 780Ti's going to give some games a try now.

    My download speed went crazy when I was downloading it. My mate is just downloading it now and a whopping 1MBp/s so had to show him this. This was my first game this morning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DL_a8EL7aI Will be buying this at the end of the month.
  4. I used a XSPC RX480 with a single set of Akasa Apache Blacks 1300rpm fans on it, and the temps on a 3930K at 4.6ghz using 1.425v in the bios with a ambient temp of 21c was 78c per core average. I now use 9 of the Akasa Apache Black Fans on my Phobya 1080 Rad and the temps are now around 65C per core average, so I am going to replace them at some point with some better ones or try push pull with them. My suggestion would be the monster rad if you have room for it with a single set of AP15's.
  5. Seems those of us in the EU might be lucky but it might be down to the retailer if they want to honor it after 12 months by the looks of it.
  6. Probably not in the top 10 with mine but I think it's decent enough for now. Next upgrade for me is Haswell-E and possibly the Maxwell refresh. Spec's are in my sig.
  7. Finally managing to get round to posting some pics. Still not happy with it but getting there, although to be honest I think after my next upgrade I won't be watercooling. My sound card is in the middle of the graphics cards and I cannot find a braided floppy power cable anywhere so that is, one thing that is annoying me but the other thing is the tubing but Specialtech always seem to be out of stock of the Acrylic Tubing from Primochill and then fittings, other wise I would have the tubing abit better although I would need a second pump because the radiator is a PITA to bleed. Even with the 10 fans it is actually very quiet.
  8. Yeah they can which is why I am going for clear tubing and clear fluid from now on. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/3x98tf0lxtx7l8q/On0gezptIS That was from Feser UV Acid Green fluid that was in a loop for 6 months in my brother in laws pc. It shut the pump down and clogged everything which caused the pc to shut off whilst at a lan, luckily it didn't take anything out and just needed a drain, filter and loop rebuild which took 2 days.
  9. When I rebuild my pc in the Test Bench I am getting, then I will be going back to Monsoon's as they are just so much easier to work with and also look 10 times better.
  10. Derp didn't notice that lol you should be good to go then.
  11. I would suggest switching the input and outputs on the bottom rad. It should be input to the rad in the bottom and output from the rad at the top. The reason I say that is because I currently have mine the same way as you have it and mine will not bleed properly, there is still some air in the radiator so I need to switch the inputs and outputs around to get it to bleed properly. Other than that it looks like it should be fine.
  12. Other than downloading, uploading, Video Streaming and viewing image heavy websites then it's not worth it. For gaming you only need around 4.5Mbp/s down and 1Mbp/s upload speed anything higher is a waste. I have used connections ranging from 0.01Mbp/s all the way up to 10GBp/s and after around 10Mb you really are not going to notice the difference in any meaningful way unless you are doing one of the previously mentioned actions. I am currently sat on a 120Mb/12Mb connection and the only reason the speed is going to increase is because my ISP is rolling out a free upgrade next year to 150Mb/15Mb. All that "Fiber" is being used for, by most ISP's is the connection out to the nearest termination node and the main backbone of the network. It's actually quite rare to find a ISP putting Fiber directly in to a residential property but there are some who do it. My ISP uses Fiber for the connections out to the large termination nodes, then a Co-ax cable to the smaller nodes and then Co-ax to the property and that Co-ax can handle speeds of up to 3.5Gbp/s before needing to go down the Fiber route directly in to the house. Either way Fiber is banded around to try and make the ISP's look better and jack the price up of the connection.
  13. PC Specs are in my signature. I run the game at 1920x1080 until I can get a better monitor, looking at 1440/1600 or 4K. I run it on the Ultra preset I get around 140fps on a 64 player conquest server, and on TDM I get around 200fps which is the cap of the game by the looks of it. The game runs smooth for me other, than the getting stuck on a piece of paper on the floor or being shot through metal containers. Either way it runs and looks better than the latest COD game.
