I'm not sure either, but maybe it does. I ran a stress test using the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility with NO AVX and it ran in the 85-90c range. As soon as I switched over to the AVX tests, it jumped back to 100c and throttle. Yes, it is exhausting out the top, with the case fans pulling cool air...

Yeah, that's the ticket. The TV can't direct play the 4k, even though it gives me an option to. The One X plays it just fine though. I can swap the consoles so I can play 4k stuff on the big TV. The 3570k handled two streams just fine - there's only two of us in the house so we won't ever use...

Let me break it down - something I should have done in the first post. I'm ripping my media (DVD, Blu-ray, 4k blu-ray) using MakeMKV and setting up a Plex Server on the following PC: Asus P8Z68-V Pro/Gen3 Intel i5 3570k 16gm Ram 180gb SSD (Boot drive) 2x Seagate Iron Wolf 8tb drives (Movie...

First, yes, I mean the network when I refer to "local". Looks like I may have keep my eyes open for a 1030 or better for that 4k and see if I can sneak a Plex Pass into the budget somehow. I didn't know Plex did that with HDR. I guess I'll wait on those HDR titles for now then. Thanks again!

Thanks for the tips. I swapped to the 3570k and it's working well. Still won't play the UHD 4k content, but I figured that would be the case based upon what you guys said. If I did throw in a GT1030 or something older like a GTX 960, that should clear up the "buffering" I get with those...

I have two old processors laying around - a i5 2500k and an i5 3570k. I know the 3570k is the newer and *slightly* faster chip, but would I be better off dropping in the 2500k and overclocking it? Also, and this maybe the wrong forum to ask, but when using Plex for a 4k UHD video playback...

Just to update, Asus tech support said it's a bad panel and to send it back for a replacement. I appreciate the input and suggestions. Zefram, how does the new version look? I'm thinking that if it's decent, I'll give it a try - either that or go the different manufacturer route.

Asus responded with a pretty basic set of stuff - update drivers, try a new cable, etc. They did want to setup a phone call, so we shall see. Kasakka, what you point out makes sense as well. I've plugged my laptop into each monitor and TV that I have and yes, the VN is a bit on the blue side...

First, thanks for the input and tips! I messed with the red and then re-calibrated, but lowering it makes it look more blue, but not more white. I triple checked Blue Light Filter and it's set to off, or Level 0. OD is set to OFF and so is Adaptive Contrast Control. Dark Boost is set to None...

Hey all. I purchased the PG279Q and noticed that all the whites on the panel looked very yellow. I tried multiple fixes that I found via a Google search to this known "issue" but none of them worked. I sent it back and instead purchased the PG279QR and while the yellow effect is a lot better...

Looks sorta marshmallowy. Makes me what to make a s'more....into a computer.

Tom_S, thanks for the advice!

Hey all. I'm moving from a 900 sq ft apt to a 1600 sq ft home and am probably in need of a router upgrade. I'm currently using a ASUS RT-N66R from a few years back. We have (What I fell) is a lot of devices - hardwired are the XBox One, PS4, HTPC, and our TV itself; wirelessly, we have two...

Hey folks. Question: I currently have 1 ViewSonic VA2431wm monitor and a 32" Samsung 1080p mounted above it. The ViewSonic has start acting up - I'm getting random color changes and dots that "fly" around - so I'm thinking this thing may be on it's last legs, and considering it's really really...
