Your jokes get cornea by the day....;)

Thanks ~Divine~Wind~. I got in contact with EVGA and it took a while for them to come back to me but they suggested the same as you and put it as the MSRP of £363.30. They couldn't tell me what I'd receive back. It's only one of the cards that has failed and is going back. As it's over 8 years...

Thanks for the feedback :) No, since EVGA's UK return centre has closed, they've asked for it to be returned to them in Germany at my cost. It's not ideal but understandable given that it's being covered under the extended warranty I purchased when I first got the card. I've had responses back...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping somebody might be able to answer this for me as I can't find a clear answer anywhere :-( One of two EVGA GTX 670 4GB Superclocked+ cards that I bought from OcUK in 2012 died a couple of months ago and I'd purchased the 10-year warranty on them. EVGA have agreed to...

Thanks for the replies. That's good to know, thanks old gamer. As you've had 34" screens with both 2560 x 1080 and 3440 x 1440, would you say it's worth going for that kind of screen size with such a low resolution or does it look ok? Most review sites tend to sound quite negative...

Hi, I'm trying to help my son decide on which 21:9 Super-Widescreen to go for, but as I've never physically seen one to judge the resolution and pixel density etc., I'm finding it difficult to help... He has a maximum budget of £350 and the system is running an i7-920 with an Nvidia...

Great, thanks very much for your help. :)

Hi, I'm just putting together a system for a friend of mine. I was going to connect four case fans on the Corsair 760T to its own fan controller, but read that the OC Panel supplied with the Rampage V Extreme also has the ability to adjust and monitor fans. However, I can't find out...

Great, that's what I'll do then. Thanks very much for your help ChugNorris. :)

Hi, I'm just building my new system which will have an i7-4790K, Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming G1 Black Edition and 2 x GTX980 HOFs. I was originally planning to use the PSU from my old system and get an 850W to run my current one as a secondary gaming system for the kids, but OcUK had an offer on the...

Hi, I'm just about to attach a Phanteks PH-TC14PE to an i7-4790K new build. Is it worth using the Phanteks PH-NDC paste that's supplied with the heatsink or should I use the Arctic Silver 5 that I bought a couple of years ago for my last build? They seem quite similar and the reviews of...

Thanks for the replies. So just to confirm before I order them, I can attach 3 standard DisplayPort cables from the ports on the 980s to each monitor and still be able to get 120Hz 2D surround and 3D surround without using any DL-DVI cables or any type of adapter?

Hi, I've been running a 3D surround setup with 2 x GTX 670s and 3 x BenQ XL2420T monitors for a while now. They're all attached using dual link DVI cables, so I can run 120Hz 2D or 3D surround across them in 5760 x 1080 / 6030 x 1080 with bezel correction. Over the next week or so, I'm...

Thanks for the suggestion, that's what I've done. I've ordered the Gigabyte mainly for that reason. As 8 Pack said, I know that I'll get a performance hit because of the PLX, but I'm hoping that the OC on the HOF cards will make up for it and the extra cooling space should, I hope, stop them...

Thanks for all the replies, they've been really helpful. :) Airflow between the cards is going to be important because my new case will be the Corsair 760T which like my Obsidian 650D doesn't have a side fan. I've noticed that motherboards with a PLX chip have a larger distance between the...

Hi, After spending the last week looking into this and getting nowhere, I thought I'd ask the experts here! :) I've got 2 x GTX980 HOFs waiting for me to make a decision on the rest of an i7-4790K based build, but I need to know which is better for a 2-way SLI setup, (I don't plan to add...

Thanks for the feedback. No, you're right. It looks like some of their WS boards have PLX, but not the ROG or TUF ones as far as I can tell. I think I've narrowed down the choice to either the Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming G1, (not the Black Edition. I know that it goes through the extra testing...

Hi, I've noticed that a lot of the higher end Z97 motherboards have a PLX chip to allow 2-way SLI to run at 16x/16x or 3/4-way SLI, but I keep seeing things about how PLX adds latency. I'm planning to use 2 x GTX 980 HOF cards in SLI and am unlikely to ever go to a 3-way setup, (unless I...

Hi, I'm looking to replace my motherboard with either a Gigabyte, MSI or Asus Z97. At the moment, I've got an Asus Xonar Essence STX sound card which is using an optical connection to a set of Logitech Z906 surround speakers, (a waste, I know) and a pair of Sennheiser PC-360 headphones, which...

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I did consider the 290X, but I really wanted to stick with the GTX 9xx cards, not only because they're newer, but mainly because of the VR and VR SLI support that they are / will be offering. For the price, I was going to get 2 x GTX 970 cards, but my wife...
