    Formula for calculating screen real estate.

    How do you calculate screen size across different aspect ratios? My Predator X34 is nowhere near as big as a 34" 16:9 monitor would be. Another example is the Galaxy S8+ it has a 6.2" 2:1 screen but it's nowhere near as wide as a 16:9 6.2" screen would be. Does anyone have the formula for...

    Will I have enough PCIE lanes?

    Will my i7 6800k paired with an ASUS Deluxe ii mobo have enough PCIE lanes for everything I'm throwing in? I'm installing a 2nd 1080 for SLI, and I'm adding a 960 Evo in the m.2 socket as a new boot drive. Will I encounter any issues attempting this?

    1050 ti as physx card/more displays

    Would getting a GTX 1050 ti as a physx card for my 1080 be a good idea? It seems attractive because it draws all the necessary power from the PCIE connection, so less cable management. The physx thing would be secondary, I want more HDMI ports, 1 more specifically, and the extra displayport...

    120% power target GTX 1080

    i finally got around to overclocking my 1080 (Founders Edition) I could only get a stable overclock with a 200mhz core offset, and 350mhz on the memory. Is a 120% power target safe?

    Safe Voltage for 6800k

    I can only keep my 6800k stable at 4.4GHZ with 1.35 volts. I was hitting 4.3GHZ with 1.27 volts. Is it safe to keep a 6800k at 1.35 volts? I'm using a decent watercooling solution (Swiftech H240x2). Should I just clock back at 4.3ghz @1.27 volts? This will be my main workstation for maybe a year...
