Static electricity can be a real bitch. Even if your hardware still works after an ESD event, the lifespan could be reduced substantially. 

And that's how my 760 died. :/

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

I used to work for a heavy industrial IT company. So not desktop level hardware. Not even server. Industrial grade. Equipment that could operate fanless in extreme wide temperatures environments, and suffer a ton of ESD and EMI interference without even twitching.

 

One of the directors at the company had literally no idea what half the equipment did. It was so cringeworthy watching him trying to blag his way with clients. I remember one meeting with a well known research body and they were after an Embedded PC that met some high-end MIL-STD-810 standard and his response was "oh yeah I'm sure we can meet that.. we're ISO9001."...........

im glad im studying enginering because if not i wouldent have understod shit of that xD

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

I once ran into somebody that thought that video games were popular in the 1950s, and that the Game Boy was invented in the 1960s.

If that were true, could you imagine where gaming would be today?

That's bad... You should do 70 or 140 but anything in between causes tearing.

HDMI 1.3 and above are capable of 144 Hz at 1080p, and HDMI 2.0 is capable of 144 Hz at 1440p.

That's not what HDMI specs say. HDMI specs says it doesn't support 144hz, other than 2.1, 2,1 supports 144.

 

But there might be something that doesn't follow the spec?

I mean, different sources seem to say different things.

So I don't know.....

I can not find any specs for 1080p there, at least without becoming an adopter..

I don't notice screen tearing very much, or at all. 

Extra fluidity >>>> maybe seeing something for a split second that may annoy me
