Are there any decent dual-bay case alternatives to corsair's air540/240? I like the form factor but would prefer it in something different.

>1440p >RTX 2060 is standard OH NO NO NO NO NO
Easton Jenkins
I really like computers.
Matthew Nguyen
for 60hz it's fine, 144hz is viable for less demanding esport games that actually benefit from higher refresh rate.
Cooper Young
>6GB >fine
Benjamin Ross
Any strong opinions on 27" Asus VG279Q? >27" >1080p >144hz >Freesync >IPS Will plan on building around this with RX 590 or GTX1060 (or RTX 2060?) and a Ryzen 2600x.
I have had a Inno3d GTX960 for three years now, zero problems.
Michael Cook
Never heard of kf2 and ive seen some inno3d but never owned one.
David Young
What GPU will best work here? Kinda iffy buying it due to low pixel count for the resolution and is apparently a VA panel instead of IPS
Juan Russell
The [email protected] is only about a 25% increase in games compared to a [email protected], and even less of a difference for the 9700k... all for an infinitely more higher price (since the 2600k is already free to you)... it's just not worth it bro
Christian Turner
It's up to a 40-50% increase in numerous games, and he's running his 2600k at 4.5.
Hudson Martin
Liquid cooling is a meme
1080p should be 24" and VA is just fine/great. Check reviews to make sure the response time is actually
Those frequencies are just from the gamers nexus benchmarks I was looking at
Liam Baker
dammit it's hard to buy monitors here all 24" 1080p 144hz displays here are TN the rest is either cheap 1080p 60hz or a damn Predator 1440p 144hz IPS gsync monitor.
Robert Nelson
Don't buy those 1440p 144hz IPS panels. I got one and the QC is shit. The panel lottery just isn't worth it. LG has started manufacturing their own panels since December that are high refresh 1440p IPS. Hopefully they don't have the horrid problems those AUO panels have.
Ethan Evans
Would you sacrifice getting your card near 80C just for 5 more frames on titles that don't reach 60FPS?
Gavin Rodriguez
I would turn down the settings
Blake Smith
>1080p should be 24" what's wrong with having a bigger size monitor for 1080p?
I got a new 1070ti for $270 so that's a garbage deal look for better deals. Evga, Zotac.
Easton Anderson
Nah, it's a good price for a NEW one.
Connor White
I wouldn't keep such a shitty card at all, man up and buy a 2060 or a 2080. It's the only option. Man up if you want the best experience possible (IPS and 144hz). You can always return them.
Andrew Hill
Those LG panels are either curvedshit or 32", absolutely ridiculous describe the issues you've faced with your panel Is it the XB271HU?
Luke Hughes
thats just stupid
Matthew Nelson
Because it's AMD. They're inferior goods, no matter what.
Noah Bailey
buy it now. 3700 is gonna be a joke, besides, most applications only use 8 cores max, and if you really want 16, just turn on HT
Jack Hill
Orange backlight bleed in two corners. It was obvious when there was a dark background. If the panel's blacks didn't look like cloudy gray and there was no bleed I would have kept it.
Owen Cooper
Welcome to JustWait™ general.
Henry Barnes
get it, good price for combo, x470 im guessing?
John Lewis
Why not just have SODIMMs as a standard for mini-ITX? It's not like they make any sense for high performance builds.
Ryan Gomez
Why not?
Josiah Cook
Well I got my panel from a local store that I've been buying from for 10 years, they had a bunch of the monitors in stock so I just tested it right there after paying for it, so that if it had any problems they could swap me for another one. Thankfully there's no problems with mine, just the usual glow that's apparent when you test for it but utterly unnoticeable in games or movies or anything. You planning to return it?
Isaac Torres
what was wrong with zen? 1600 was infinitely better choice than 7400 which was it's only competition at that time.
Austin Morales
Yeah, x470 and 2700 for 350 including tax.
Nicholas Evans
Already returned it. Wish I had a store near to test them, damn.
It was better than intel's offering at the time but first gen had its shares of problems, especially with RAM issues, but very low and hard frequency ceiling was also a big problem because single thread still DOES matter.
Angel Bennett
Yeah, it's just how it is. I can't cope with TN or VA panels, they just don't compare.
Christopher Turner
Reminder that you can just save 1000$ each year by pirating games instead of buying them. that's a brand new mid range pc each year or high end pc every two years.
Hudson Russell
>zen2 is gonna suck. How so? Sure it's gonna be horribly overhyped as the result of retarded fake "leaks" but it's still gonna bet an improvement over Zen+.
James Hill
that's what i meant. Unless your workload needs 16 cores, (if it does turn on HT) then just buy a 2700x
Hudson Young
Exactly. I used to buy my gaymes until the last four years or so because since then they stopped making physical editions of games or they made it so that you have to download most of it. No point in that, I liked having games on my shelf. I just buy a few good ones like the Yakuza PC ports, they're worth it.
Hunter Perry
>tfw the 27" 1080p monitor has same ppi with my 18.5" 720p goddamit I hate monitor shopping
Brayden Reed
I dont know if this is the right place to post this but...
I recently moved my M.2 from one slot to another. In the process, I might have put too much pressure on it. Now ibstead of recognizing the 256GB, it only sees 251MB. So it will no longer boot to the OS. I have flashed the BIOS, moved and reseated it several times, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas on what I should do?
Angel Ortiz
check it with partedmagic or something
Jonathan Ramirez
Will the 144hz IPS be a good compromise to the low pixel density though? also wondering if a rx590 will be enough for it (either that or a 2060 in my area)
Adam Fisher
Nope. 27" 1080p is never ok.
Jayden King
Eh, if I had shit old PC and absolutely needed to upgrade now, I'd probably still buy a cheap, maybe even used CPU like 1600 or even 1500 and upgrade to Zen2 when it's out. It's gonna be overhyped but it'll still clock higher and be more power efficient after all.
Jacob Murphy
dammit
Evan Campbell
Just get a 1440p 144hz panel like the XB271HU, it's perfect. 27", much better ppi than even a 22-23" 1080p panel and of course cards these days can easily handle 1440p so you won't have shit performance.
Colton Robinson
Yeah they have all of those, which is why I'm asking. Or are you one of those guys that just needs multiple GPUs or hoards a lot of manga locally instead of on a NAS?
Sebastian Wood
I have a lian li o11 and a blower gpu (titan xp) that gets to 80c, i can mount a fan directly under the gpu to pull in cold air. Is it worth it or just going to add more noise for no gain?
is there going to be a noticeable difference between the 2700x and the 3700x? just going to do 1080p video editing and gaming, not wanting to buy intel.
Easton White
Just get a shitload of fans in your case, fill every slot with a fan. Better to do that than just get one fan.
>only 10 bucks more than MSRP Do it, nigga. I wouldn't spend too much more than the MSRP on a 2060, else you may as well have gotten a 2070.
Jace Brown

Luis Hill
Dude that case can fit so many fucking fans Don't do just one, fill in all three spots. That way you can run them all at a lower speed for more airflow but less noise. For $360 maybe but not the $380 it's at right now. And that's if you have to buy a 2060
Austin Campbell
I'm thinking about getting a dual monitor setup for watching anime and looking at architectural plans in pdf viewers -- what kind of monitor should I be looking for? In America with a budget of ~$1600 USD but less expensive would be better -- I don't need top of the line.
I'm not sure what graphics card I have since I built this thing over ~5 years ago. I tried looking it up and it comes up AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series. Hardware Id is: PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_68BA&SUBSYS_31501682&REV_00 devicehunt.com/view/type/pci/vendor/1002/device/68BA That site tells me I have a Juniper XT [Radeon HD 6770]. The backside only has three different outputs like this picture (which isn't my card). My card is only one slot so it doesn't have the vents next to it. Is it even possible for me to have two monitors with this card?
