He likes what he likes, who cares. No need to argue, let each person be themselves - also keep in mind opinions change over time.

The point of mentioning that I'm a movie buff was not that I'd like to watch 4k content, it's that I'm unsure how I would feel about the color reproduction since this is a TN panel (coming from a very good IPS panel). Of course I'd like this panel because of the desktop real estate, don't be a fool. I'm also curious if 2gb of vram is enough for a 4k display for everyday use and very light gaming (essentially only dota 2), as I suspect it is not.

I've got a pair of 770's (vram 2gigs, not 4) and I'm interested in purchasing this monitor for myself. Should I hold back? Honestly, the only video game I play anymore is DOTA 2 but I'm a huge movie buff.

By God, you're absolutely right. There is a third fan header near the audio ports I had totally overlooked due to its strange placing. This is the equivalent of asking someone to turn their device off and on again for tech support, but hey I'm not complaining. I'm a fool for not having noticed this before; thank you for your post (even though I read it with an 'Are you serious?' attitude before thoroughly checking) ;) .

As before mentioned, the fan is connected to the CPU_OPT header on my maximus vi gene, and this port supports absolutely no fan control in the bios.

Hello, In my corsair 350D I currently have two AF140's for intake, two SP120's as exhaust on a top mounted h100i, and a single sp120 as a back case exhaust fan. All of these fans are Quiet Edition fans, but I have a very annoying problem with the fan for rear exhaust. I am unable to control its speed, and this thing is running at its maximum RPM (~1300). It's obnoxiously loud and is the only thing keeping my system from being silent. I cannot control its speed via ASUS's fan expert because it is connected into a cpu_opt port, and connecting it to my h100i and monitoring speeds via corsairlink does absolutely nothing. Is there some kind of connection I can purchase to make this fan run at a lower rpm, such as some sort of single fan controller? Could my fan be defective since corlairlink cannot control it? All suggestions are welcome, I am eager to have my system running silently and this is my only obstacle.

I'm truly loving this amp/dac combo, and am glad I decided to purchase it. I've fixed the volume knob issue; so thanks for the description on how to do so ;) (and ofc for the recommendation!). It drives my Q701's and audioengine A5+'s beautifully, and I would definitely recommend this product to a friend. Now let's just hope it holds up over time!

Haha, that would be a no, but I can get access to one soon if you describe how you fixed yours

Found the option, thanks for the quick reply! How did you secure your volume knob to the device? It's loose and can freely come off on my unit.

Yep, the LED is on, and yes to the 1/4" jack. How can I ensure the ODAC is my default audio output?

I've received the o2/odac and am unsure how to make it function, and I was curious if you could help me out. I've left the device plugged in for a while as indicated in the instructions to charge it and windows 8 is recognizing it as the output device, but I am unable to get any sound from the amp/dac. I've got it plugged into my pc via the provided usb cable, powered on with my Q701's plugged in, and am attempting to play music without any result. any advice?

Order placed, fingers crossed. Thank you very much for the help, I will post an update when the o2/odac arrives.

Idiot proofing my 'additional details', will this suffice? "Could you please include the 1x/2.5x gain option for the desktop o2/odac?" (I know, I know, I'm a fool)
