    VA better than IPS for eye comfort and reading?

    for me VA is causing more strain, but as it was brought here many times, I am not sure whether this is really panel problem for sure. I use 24" AOC VA FHD 165Hz at home and dual NEC 271Q QHD IPS 60Hz at the office and an OLED TV. At home I feel a lot more eye strein. Still, I use the monitor at...

    GPU Cooler Compatibility

    I am planning to buy PNY 2070S Dual as well as and add accelero extreme III + 2 120mm fans. Did you try to remove the cooling from PNY? How it looks like? Can you provide some photos? Can it be deinstalled so that I can be reinstalled later on? I assume any cooling solution should be viable for...

    Corsair SF600 600w SFX Powersupply

    Thanks a lot for this. I was wandering the internet, hoping to find someone who was not a proffesional tester and just did a test at his home. And I found you. Brilliant. Please tell me how loud was the fan around 300-350w if you can or when it started for you during your last test.

    anyone knows what is a current Windows10 build available directly from MS webpage

    I just bought Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen2. I am thinking about doing clean install. I do it each time I buy a new PC, but this time it seems that my new laptop came with almost no shit-ware (O365 and Lenovo Vantage only). Only reason that will make me do it is that current available W10 build is...

    Silverstone SX500-LG 500W Gold SFX-L

    I know that this thread is two years old but my question is - did they fix that noise issue? SX500-LG is still being sold and actually if not that reported problems, I would already have bought one. So, anyone?

    Better buy - 2070 or 2060Super

    I know, its just I though that maybe the card was so unworthy testing that no one wanted to do it.

    Better buy - 2070 or 2060Super

    thanks for a fast reply :) I am leaning towards 2070 myself, just did not decide yet and frankly it is kind of strange that almost no review of 2070 VENTUS can be found over the net.

    Better buy - 2070 or 2060Super

    Hi, I need some advice which GPU to choose. My two deal breakers are noise levels and price/performance ratio. I am looking at MSI 2070 VENTUS 8GB and MSI 2060 SUPER GAMING X. They both will fit into a small case and work at acceptable noise level. I wonder whether: 1. 2060SUPER Gaming will...

    "boot from PxE" message now appears when I start up my laptop

    x509, I might have misread your post. Thought you actually do know that you have M.2 drive. As you replaced your drive by yourself and this was not an M.2 unit, I can tell that describing my situation might not be so much of a help to you. You should still check SSD placement, BIOS upgrade...

    Wonder if someone had experience with onboard SAS SCU controller on Supermicro boards. I need to make a decision whether to return a server or not ( and I would very much like to keep it as the price was good and I have lots of parts to be used in it). Problem is that server I bought has...

    Supermicro 826 chassis (3-port backplane) w/ 8i (2-port) controller

    hi, thanks for your reply. Seems to be: SAS826A rev 1.0 http://www.supermicro.com.tw/manuals/other/BPN-SAS-826A.pdf do you think it will work with less than 3 ports connected to the controller? I am afraid it will not, but it would be nice to get a confirmation.

    Supermicro 826 chassis (3-port backplane) w/ 8i (2-port) controller

    I am trying to figure out whether chassis like the one below: Chassis Part Number: CSE-826TS-R920LPBP-1 will work with normal two port 8i controller. I call it normal as this server (I bought used) came with ASR-71605 which seems to be quite crappy for ZFS.
