Tower itself: Overall Setup: I started this system in June and it contains quite a lot of mods and high end parts so I'll just list off the components below. Main Components Intel Core i9 7900X, Delidded & Lapped @ 4.5 GHz (1.130v) NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti FE with EK Block @ 2.0 GHz ASUS...

Just thought I'd post about this as I'm sure there are a few people here with a multi-display setup who'd be interested. NVIDIA possibly with the last driver update or the current one have upgraded NVIDIA surround in a few significant ways. 1. With an SLI setup you can now use three display...

I was going to post a build log for this but I don't think that's necessary so I'll just post the final thing and a gallery where you can view individual parts I used. Computing Components: 1x Corsair 900D Case 1x Intel Core i7 3930K CPU @ 4.75 GHz 1x Asus RAMPAGE IV Extreme Motherboard 2x...

It seems every other year I do a major build and in the interims I do upgrades. This year was a major change for me as it's the first time I'm using a rack chassis at home. Prior to this I used a Lian Li PC-343B case with six x 5.25" to 3.5" backplanes. Whilst that build was functional it was...

Before I begin this is in the rant forum so obviously this is an insignificant thing so don't get too serious when reading it :lol: So I'm starting a new computer build and I've ordered lots of parts and I'm so annoyed by how much stuff is out of stock. I've ordered from Amazon, Specialtech and...

I'm really saddened to have to write this post but I feel a must to protect all of you against Mushkins support services. As you may know Mushkin sells in the UK on a number of ecommerce sites including Aria. There RAM comes with a 10 year warranty so you can expect them to stand behind their...

So earlier this month I grabbed two GTX 780's and I run them at 7680x1600 in Surround mode. This is probably the largest surround mode you can do currently from NVIDIA before bezel compensation so I thought it would be a good idea to report how it works. When I was thinking about upgrading I...

[Deleted] EDIT:// Nevermind :)

I thought it would be interesting to make a thread to discuss something I've noticed occurring over the past few years, mostly since AMD purchased ATi. AMD's lack of software features to accompany their graphics cards. Now I'm not making this thread to troll I love AMD and their products I'm...

Well they've served me well since 2010 dutifully playing Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 3 and so on. But across three displays they couldn't quite keep up. So although I'm really not happy with the pricing of NVIDIA's latest GTX 780's I decided to buy them anyway and finally update my graphics...

I know that there are a bunch of Apple users on here so I thought it might be interesting to start a thread so we can discuss what may be unveiled at the upcoming World Wide Developers Conference. So far we know for sure that OS X 10.9 and iOS 7 will be given out to developers at the WWDC show...

I've been building my own computers for a decade now and one thing I've noticed throughout that time from DDR1 to DDR3, over 150GB+ of memory that I've owned is that over time RAM degrades. Now obviously all things degrade :lol: but I've noticed that RAM degrades very quickly whilst being solid...

On another forum I visit they have a thread dedicated to members of the community posting their best hardware pictures. It is really popular on that other forum with 144 pages to date of some great pictures. So I thought it would be interesting to bring that thread over here to OC3D. Here are...

Okay get ready for a rant. :) In february I decided to upgrade my home server. I use this machine for a lot of stuff and it was starting to show its age. It was a Core i7 940 based system on an Asus WS P6T6 Motherboard with 24GB of Memory. So the most logical upgrade was socket 2011. I needed...

I figured some of you might find this product interesting so I'd do a mini-review of it. Usually routers are just boring boxes we don't spend time thinking about and we certainly don't lust over a router or watch router product launches. But this router is very different to the usual in quite a...
