Those games won't require much responsiveness from the monitor so I'd recommend getting any 1080p monitor with a response time of 5ms or less and hdmi.. Can't point you to anywhere specifically but that's what you should be looking for.

I never used a cleaner for all the years I've been doing this. It honestly makes the PC worst as far as I've seen, once you know what you're installing and not drowning your PC with toolbars n additional (included) software from some programs you'll be 100!!

Correct, for every computer I buy, I wipe the bloated software and reinstall a clean windows with only the relevant software

I never used any cleaning programs besides driver sweeper, just a psa because it's a popular program.

Giving these a try, rgb your existing fans on the cheep, will update on the quality.

any reason why HDMI? normally use DVI

So the machine isn't on long enough to load a CD to install drivers.... Even after a reinstall of the OS
That is really strange...and interesting... Would love to find out what is causing the problem.
Let us know if replacing the graphics card solves the problem

yea this time it didn't stay on long enough, the only think i can is some how the board still trying to run off the PCI E slot cause when i bios and saw it on auto but don't want to change it since don't want any drama when i get back my card

Anyone had any experience using Aeropost for an RMA previously i used UPS but since Aeropost now offering that service i decided the to give them a try, Today Thursday the the card hasn't left yet

update just got video card and computer works fine

also Aeropost RMA is meh took 62 dollars to clear when video card came back in but took very long to get it back

Apologies for asking a possibly already -answered question, but can anyone recommend a tech store in the south area? NOT Wizz though.

Looking for some desktop stuff; heat sync+ fan, thermal paste, SSD drives... rather support local small businesses so if anybody can suggest a store /shop...

I run dvi to my monitor and hdmi to my tv.

[roguegun]

but if my monitor is a 2k monitor and my tv is hd...then should i jus get a dual hdmi out graphics card for performace wise to output at their full potentials ?

[meccalli]

Yeah, it's the best solution in the long term I guess.

Real impressed with these phanteks halo frames, @ 10us they're a great buy especially if you have high performance fans that you don't want to swap out but want the rgb look. Look best with white fan blades tho.

Got a pair of these for sale if anyone interested, they are 3 pin rgb connections. End up purchasing the wrong kit by mistake.

If is one thing with intel their motherboards always on fckn point. Would definitely build a coffeelake system if I had some extra disposable income.

Looking for a high-end monitor with refresh rate of 144hz
Can anyone point me to a local dealer?
Really don't want to Amazon
Already tried - Supertech, Loprofile, Wizz, Circuit Zone

This is my build btw - 1060 was gift i'll probably go 1080ti for christmas

UserBenchmarks

[kamakazi]

Good luck... The closest thing anyone had locally was the aoc g2460 pqu
*Edit*
Not sure if the g2460 that was sold locally has a 144hz refresh rate...I thought was 120hz.... All I know is I have one on my desk and it's pretty decent

Mine was purchased from Supertech but I remember seeing one in wizz San Fernando... Not sure if it sold though
