Ill use compressed air!

And thanks guys! My bro turned 18 yesterday so im the only "baby" as my dad says in the home XD

Also, I helped him get a steel series rival mouse with my money a few months ago ( my dream mouse) and he got cash on his bday so he got the ATHM50s from audio technica....if you read back a while you will see I wanted those two...I just save my money for more important things that matter to me....like flying

 

[Turb0Yoda]

I'll save my money for food, a car, and college.. Oh and a PC with steam games

So here's the monitor I may be getting

Looks pretty sweet and you can certainly drive 4K with that system. I haven't really looked into 4K monitors too much because I didn't want to buy a monitor and a new graphics card right now. Will a 28' screen do justice to that resolution?

Edit: On a more careful look that thing ought to be amazing for gaming.

I think a 28 inch will be fine. I have a 27 inch Acer right now. That's really the sweet spot atleast for me. I dont have a large amount of desk space. The only problem is it's the only option with G Sync(at 4K) right now. Asus is coming out with their ROG Swift 4K with G Sync but it looks like that might not be out until August. Who knows it could be 1,000 dollars too.

Looks pretty awesome though. I'm going to do some more research before I buy it. But no really big blemishes so far. Will give that Titan a good test.

 

[Deleted member 217926]

Yep it should do that. My Samsung will be here Wednesday. Can't wait. I've been using this old 23' 1080p Samsung for almost 6 years now. The new 32' 1440p should be a very nice little upgrade.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Anort, will you get the new Battlefront? I'd get it... but I don't think a 750 ti and a pentium will handle it

 

[Mirakledba]

Cleaned up my PC. Some white stuff that dissolves fast from the can went on my PC but it works! Is that just COLD AIR and is it normal? I know I sound dumb, just being extra safe. Like is it ok if it gets all over the fans?

 

[Pcbuilder123]

Yes, that is 100% normal, when you spray, NEVER hold the can upside down and spray electronics as it causes frost, and don't fire for longer than 5-10 second bursts, otherwise the can gets way too cold. It's not bad if you let it dry, but better if it doesn't get on there. Also, don't spray it into your mouth, that stuff is bitter!

 

[Pcbuilder123]

Does anybody here has expirence with VOIPs? My ATA (analog telophone adapter, I think) crapped out so we ordered a new one, and I plugged it in, internet light turns on, and plug the telephone line into the phone, and when I dial a number on the phone and call, the verification light flashes, but when I hang up it turns off again.

 

[RazerZ]

We used magic jack then Vonage. Both were terrible experiences.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

My CPU cooler is LGA 775, but you have to screw it in, and I have only seen that on prebuilts.. anyone know of a replacement off hand? Just a random question that popped into my head...

 

[Pcbuilder123]

I have an lga 775 board with the screw in cooler, and the tx3 fits just fine (according to the manual). It's a standard m-atx

 

[RazerZ]

What form factor is your motherboard? Some of the older prebuilts use the form factors such as BTX which won't be compatible with standard aftermarket coolers for the LGA 775 socket.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

mATX

 

[RazerZ]

Budget for the cooler? Max CPU cooler height your case supports?

 

[Turb0Yoda]

[strike]I didn't say I was buying one[/strike]. I just wanted to see if you guy's have ever seen something like it. I've only ever seen it two or three times. That said, my temps are about 30-36C at idle on the stock CPU.. Been 6 years since we got it..

Say no budget... Low profile only.. 4 inches tall..

 

[RazerZ]

My go to cooler for a small form factor PC:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU Cooler: RAIJINTEK PALLAS 56.5 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.99 @ NCIX US)
Total: $29.99

Though probably overkill for a replacement in that PC. Arctic cooling has some cheap coolers for around $10, but they aren't much better than your stock cooler.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Does it screw in like this one? I'd post a picture but it's almost 11 and I am really tired... About to knock out.. Good night

I might have posted pics of the CPU cooler a while back... not sure

 

[azzazel_99]

[azzazel_99]

[mohit9206]

Why? You play at 4K?

 

[azzazel_99]

no i play at 120hz+ so i need to maintain right around 120 or higher fps to match my 144hz monitor

 

[Bossyfins]
