    Best GAMING Monitor - 1440p 2k

    If You need color accuracy you shouldn't go for a TN panel... And the swift is TN. If you don't really care about color accuracy, then its probably the best option for you

    System only renders 3,22 GB usable out of 6GB of RAM - Windows 7 x64

    Did you check all the ram dimms in every ram slot? I would assume that one is indeed broken...

    Can you make a push/pull configuration for a dual radiator liquid cooling system using only 3 fans?

    So your setup is basicly: 200mm fan Radiator 2x 120mm fans Well if you have no better place to put that 200mm fan, I would just leave it there :)

    What do I need to liquid cool Posiedon gtx 780

    Normally you need a GPU block to attach a GPU to a watercooling loop and cool it. The podeidons have a integrated GPU block, so you don't need the extra block. Just to cool the GPU, you would need a radiator, pump, tubing, fittings and a reservoir, to add in the cpu you'll need a cpu block and...

    Would Water Cooling Be Necessary For GTX 780 Dual SLI?

    Watercooling 2gpus and a cpu will probably cost you at least 550-600$. Whats your case? I would use every fan mount available, and if temps are so bad that the cards throttle, you could try to mount fans to your side panel (with some modding...)

    Questions about Water Cooling GTX 780 SLI and i5 4670K

    1. Like manofchalk said, reservoir size doesn't matter, you can even use a t-line instead (basically a piese of tubing) reservoirs don't supply any kind of cooling... 2. D5 or DDC will do it, unless high restriction loop with more GPUs, mobo and ram blocks you're fine with one. 3. Thickness does...

    Water cooling 2 780ti's

    As blackbird said, you probably won't need it as the only real practical reason to go water is lack of airflow. (And looks xD) But here's a quick sketch of the costs: Pump (D5) 90$ Reservoir (for D5) 50$ Fullcover GPU blocks 2x 100$ -> 200$ (There are cheaper GPU only blocks too) Radiators 150$...

    Can i put a fan on my case which is meant to go in SYS Fan slots into a CPU OPT slot- which is meant for a water-cooling cpu?

    Let me help you: 4-pin fan headers are called pwm headers and can control (depending on the implementation) the speed of a fan via pulse wide modulation (pwm). A 3 pin fan can only be controlled by voltage -> higher voltage=higher rpm The motherboard knows if there is a 3pin or 4pin plugged in...

    How many compression fittings do i need for custom water cooling loop

    For that you'll need 10 fittings. I prefer to use 45 and 90 degree compressions to have the tubing as straight as possible . For red tubing I would go with black fittings, more contrast than chrome :)

    Should i upgrade the gtx 780 to a gtx 970?

    at that resolution, you'll have high framerates with both cards anyway :D thw did a review on the new cards and compared them with the 780 to but not normal 780... http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-970-maxwell,3941-8.html 970 is quite close to 780ti, eg 4 fps off in...

    Will a 240mm radiator (2x120mm) work to cool down an i7 4770k (going to be overclocked to 4.5 ghz) and 2x r9 290?

    please read my post again: "if you don't know what your doing, you shouldn't be building PCs, WC is easily done right with a decent amount of planning." where is the part with the tech enthusiasts? I don't recall where I wrote it, please point it out to me. :€ but I have to admit, putting the...

    Will a 240mm radiator (2x120mm) work to cool down an i7 4770k (going to be overclocked to 4.5 ghz) and 2x r9 290?

    then please read op's title and then find me a AIO can cool a 4770k and 2 r9 290s. custom water cooling is way more expensive, your right with that, but its also superior to any AIO liquid cooler performance wise and also far more flexible. if you don't know what your doing, you shouldn't be...

    new liquid cooling did i do it right?

    it seams hot to me, but nothing problematic. if you still have some TIM u could reseat it also try to lower voltage

    Is water cooling right for me?

    how many intake/exhaust fans do u have in the case? a hyper 212 is probably your cheapest good option, its a great bang for the bucks cooler. my 4670k (stock voltage, 3,8ghz) never hits more than 43C, and it sits behind a radiator
