Thank you all! Actually the HXi is 40$ cheaper right now! I thought that since the price gap wasn't so big I should aim to get the newer gray label. But I do not have any other advantage in favor of it that I know of.

Hey! I'm looking to get a 850W PSU and at the moment I have the opportunity to choose between the HX850i or the HX850 (gray label). They're about the same price so I'm looking for any difference in quality that would make me choose one or another. While searching I just found that the "i" I...

I'll leave this answer here in case anyone is having the same problem. It seems like the F05 driver caused this. The monitor came in with F03, and updating it was first thing that I did while setting up everything. Now I "updated" back to F03 just in case and then: 144hz is an option.

No problem, thank you so much! I didn't know about the HDMI 2.0. That explains why on my notebook it works. Just seems a bit odd that the DP cable that came in with the monitor itself doesn't work. The DP on the 780Ti I'm sure is 1.2 and should be fine, as you said. Nevertheless I shall try to...

The custom resolution works only while on Windows desktop. The monitor OSD even shows it's running at 144hz, there's the option to choose, but as soon as I start a game, for example, it instantly drops to 120hz. I don't know if it's any helpful but I plugged the monitor as a secondary on my...

Yep! And these are the options. I am a bit familiar with choosing what refresh rate to use, I used to have a 1080p144hz monitor. Surprisingly I can't set up this monitor properly and this one should be far superior to the one I had

Hello! I just bought a Gigabyte FI27Q monitor which should be able to get 1440p@165hz and I have a GTX780Ti. I know I can't get 165hz with my VGA because it does not support G-Sync but I don't know why I can't event get to 1440p@144hz. The manual says it should be able to run 1440p@144hz...

It's a Cooler Master Elite 130. It worked well for years. The air coming out the radiator is not even warm, I think the water may not be flowing as it should. The tubing is really hot in just one fraction of it (next to the pump), rest is pretty much ambient temperature (currently 28ºC)...

Hello! I have a mini-ITX rig where my i5 4670k and a h60 (2013) fits very well. It worked flawlessly for 3 years now, but yesterday it started overheating. It idles at almost 70ºC on stock clocks. When I first noticed this, I tried reapplying the thermal paste and nothing changed. I also noted...

Thank you again. As soon as I can I'll do it :)

Even if those fans are two Gentle Typhoons? I think they compared to the stock h60 fan, and in push/pull will outperform it by more than 5c, wouldn't it?

Hey! Look what changing my paste to MX-4 and remounting the cooler resulted: That was after the same 40 min on prime95. Gaming it does not get over 60, max was 55. That's a bit better isn't it? Should I buy new fans too?

Thank you HEXiT, I'll change my paste and remount the h60 and see what I got. :)

I'll do it as soon as I get my new paste, a MX-4. What would be the better way to apply it? Pea size in the middle of the chip?

So what should I do? Just try to remount it with new paste, get better fans, another CPU cooler maybe? Just delid it is what I'm not going to do. Since I'm limited with cooler sizes, is there any low profile cooler better than the h60? Also, the individual core temps is almost the same. I wish...
