For anyone in the future, apparently you need to go into Windows 10 settings and change the refresh rate manually. You go to advanced display settings, then display adapter properties, and then the monitor tab in the window that pops up. Now if someone could just post something I can select...

So bought the ViewSonic XG2401 and it's supposed to do 144hz refresh rate but it seems to be locked in at 120hz at the moment. I have used the DP cable that came with it and one I bought off amazon and no luck, any suggestions? Computer setup linked below monitor...

Wondering what you guys think would be a good monitor to run with this setup (link below)? Budget is around $350 and I play witcher 3, overwatch, and wanting to buy battlefield 1 pretty soon here. One that caught my eye was the BenQ XL2430T but I am out of the loop on frames and refresh rates...

Thanks for your help.

So going to be building a new computer and like many people I am stuck at the crossroads of 6600k vs 6700k. One comment I saw that caught my interest for choosing which one was if I would be doing heavy multitasking. For a good 80% of the time my computer will be used for gaming on one monitor...

Really? I thought prices were supposed to drop when the new cpu is being sold so they can get rid of the old stock and make room for the new cpu.

Going to be building a new computer and was watching computer prices all the way back in early November. I didn't have the ability to grab anything on BF or CM, but nothing I wanted went on sale anyways, but what I did notice was parts started to climb in price. I know this is from retailers...

Sounds like I might only need the 212, but looking at the NH D14 in Canada is only $20 cheaper than the Corsair H105 AIO which is kinda what made me look into the idea of going into the liquid coolers. Do people find the NH D14 size an issue in their cases?

Unfortunately it looks like the Cryorig H7 is not available in Canada so I won't be able to use that, thanks though!

Going to be building a new computer (parts linked down below) and I plan on using the i7-6700k. Now my question is already in the title but what is considered mild OC for the i7-6700k and would the 212 evo handle that OC or should I just bump up to a AIO water cooler? Factors: -The machine is...

Sorry, purpose is for gaming and I thought the graphics card was not a bad pairing for the i7 but this is why I ask because I am so out of the loop.

Just building a new computer and don't keep up with the times enough to know if certain parts are better with others and thought I would ask you guys. I was also curious as to what you guys thought about the heat sink as I usually just stick with stock. Aiming to keep the price tag around $2000...
