    Eizo EV2450

    I have not used the model you are referring to, but I can tell you about the quality of Eizo monitors. As a 3D professional artist, I MUST have a "professional" grade color monitor, which typically costs at least 2X what others do for the same size. Having said that, Eizo is one of the few...

    Problem with Bonded DSL and Linksys 1900ac Router

    I am seeking feedback from anyone that has "bonded" DSL service and a Linksys 1900ac router or similar router. The problem I am having is the Linksys 1900ac does not seem to be able to handle or have settings to deal with a "bonded" DSL connection from say AT&T, Frontier, etc. While you can...

    Corsair Neutron GTX vs Samsung 840 Pro Reliability

    Just wanted to get some feedback from owners on how reliable the Corsair Neutron GTX is compared to say the Samsung 830 (prior model) or 840 Pro models? I need another SSD and can find some 830 drives fairly good price. However, I would spend extra for the newer models if they are reliable...

    Best DIY Home Network Camera System?

    I am seeking feedback and help for setting up a home security system that will mainly be network cameras. They must be fairly compact to mount on walls in various rooms and also a water/element proof version for mounting some at outside doors. Also, they need to have a constant WiFi or CAT...

    Windows 8 reboots out of nowhere?

    The other thing which this sounds like is "Automatic Updates". This is most likely turned on and is what will happen when the system needs to re-boot. You will not get notices at times and if you get a pop up it will stay for just a few seconds. Then you choose to delay the re-boot for a later...

    Please review WC build

    I am nearly done for parts with my water cooling setup and wanted to get some advice on the loop and if there is anything else I may need or missing before adding the coolant and finalizing. It features 2 360mm rads with fans and a single pump/res. Should I add another 360mm rad or another...

    Advice needed for mounting pump/resv in case

    I am wanting to get some feedback for mounting my pump and resv in my case. The case is a Mountain Mods Ascension, but there is no room to mount it horizontal on the floor on either side. Therefore, I am left with a vertical mounting solution. I can place at the front or back of the case, using...

    Duel power supplies or single higher watt?

    Thanks for the replies. Just an FYI, the eVGA 680 FTW+ draws 275TDP according to the web site that lists video card models and TDP ratings. It says that if you push them they can draw up to 350 TDP in their tests. I don't plan to push them much, I got some of the specs off another site and it...

    Duel power supplies or single higher watt?

    I have built many custom PC systems, but this is my first very high-end water cooled system. The direction of the fans was because some do NOT have any indicators on them. I could've done the paper test, held in front of the fan to see which direction, but thought others that have done more...

    Duel power supplies or single higher watt?

    I was wondering if I should go with duel PSUs or a single high watt unit? My build needs at least 1200 now and I could use a 1500 watt in the future. What some people are doing is using two power supplies, such as the Corsair 1200i and splitting the load between the two for better efficiency...

    AX1200i or AX1200?

    Depends upon what it's worth to you for the difference between the two, one is Gold and the other Platinum certified (see specs). You get the USB link with the 1200i to monitor the power and make adjustments if you really want them, but it's not a must have feature just an added bonus. Otherwise...

    Do dust filters hinder air flow for radiators?

    I bought 2 DEMCI 360 dust filters to place on the outside of my case where 2 360 rads are mounted on the inside. Others have used dust filters and say they really help to keep out dust and stuff from your rads and advise using them. However, I was reading where some say filters like the DEMCI...

    how/when to flush/clean my system + other questions about fluid etc

    Best thing to do is first read the FAQ at the top of this forum. It has the answers you seek about cleaning and others there too. Clean the blocks by boiling some DI water, let cool a bit and rinse the blocks out. Fill the rads up, plug the holes, shake well and repeat until clean. Use oven...

    Installing CPU waterblocks on LGA 2011 Motherboard - Need advice

    I am installing EK "Full Nickel" waterblocks on an Asus Z9PE-D8 WS motherboard. The EK waterblocks are this years model. After reading the instructions, I was a bit confused. Motherboards with LGA 2011, like this Asus, do not have any place on back to mount a backplate because they are on the...

    Any brand better than ASUS for 2 x CPU + 8 SATA 3 (6gb/s)

    If you are still reading this thread, be happy to help. Personally, I prefer the Asus boards over the SuperMicro and for the reasons already stated above. As I'm sure you have, compare the specs on each company site and you will see the main differences. I am doing an $8,000 workstation so I...

    Fan orientation for push-pull?

    Got it, thanks, those helped out a lot. As you say, pictures are really worth a thousand words. :D Does it matter when doing push/pull if the push fan is on the outside of the case and pull on the inside or vice versa? Didn't think it really mattered so long as they are like in the picture in...

    Fan orientation for push-pull?

    OK, I understand about the side closest to the camera, that would be the logo side as I called it. But you lost me on the whole spoke side because fans like the one in your link can the mounted on either side. Most like the noise blocker come with rubber bushings, 4 screws and 4 washers to...

    Fan orientation for push-pull?

    Just wanted to verify and see what the correct orientation for fans are if you want them to: 1. exhaust hot air out of the case 2. blow cool air into the case 3. set up a radiator in push and pull configuration I assume the part of the fan that is sunken in some, typically with the...

    New Rosewill 9100 - Initial impressions

    Well, that's good to know. I have been using a couple of different wrist rests for several hours now so not much else to state except I am still leaning to my initial findings. Those are: The CM Storm Trigger still seems to be the better quality board overall. Keys just seem more solid in...

    Draining system - need help

    OK, would this part work for my drain if I connect this "T" fitting using a compression barb connected direct to one of my radiator outlets, then run a line going out of the other side of the T for the liquid cooling flow, with a stop plug for the bottom of the T? Then, when I want to drain...

    Thanks for the info everyone. That explains why my parts were so clean to begin with. I did boil some DI water, fill the rads and let sit for a while, then shook them. Still clean with nothing at all. Like other said, my Black Ice SR-1 rads were just fine but I did it just to be safe. Didn't...

    Samsung Announces 840 Series SSDs

    Very nice to read about the new SSD drives from Samsung and Corsair out now. While they are an improvement, they are not huge differences or have features the prior models did not already have. Personally, I don't feel the need to upgrade at this time, but it's still nice to know they are making...

    New Rosewill 9100 - Initial impressions

    For those wondering, the Rosewill 9100 has a metal backplate. It is 1.42"(H) compared to the CM Storm Trigger at 0.98"(H). This may account for some of the difference I found between them for comfort as well. The Rosewill 9100 is fairly steep linear wise and my hands still cramp after a while...

    full size mechanical keyboards?

    The 9100 looks a whole lot like the Ducky Shine II in the product photos. Everything from the key spacing to the size of the keys. In fact, the laser etching of the keys and most all key symbols are exactly the same. There are some differences between the media keys and a few others on them, but...

I sent the K90 back within days, I knew it wouldn't work for me once I tried it. It's the "floating key" design and key spacing that caused me...

    Cleaning advice - no flux coming out

    Thanks for the info. I don't understand though why the FAQ on this site and some other youtube water cooling videos always say to clean your new parts because there is a LOT of flux in them. It makes it sound like there is a lot of debris that will come out and such, some even show it, but I...
