    Spec me a Watercooling kit for 2 gpus please

    You should plumb the existing loop to the gpus and an additional rad, no need for a second pump and res. The difficult thing here is finding waterblocks for that particular card. AFAIK the only models are made by Bykski and Barrow, companies I'm not very familiar with, and you have to ship from...

    Xspc TX series ultra slim radiators

    Will there be a crossflow model at this thickness?

    best way to store radiators

    Make sure you plug every port. I was a doofus and didn't bother. Residual coolant leaked onto the steel parts of 2 of my rads and bubbled the powder coat / maybe corroded the steel. Lol.

    The Pascal GTX 1080 Owners Thread

    Picked up the Zotac Amp! 1080 to replace my decrepit old 680 Lightning SLI. Now wondering how on earth I'm going to flog these tbh.

    **THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

    Does anyone (by chance) remember which driver version completely borked GSync? I stupidly updated to the latest driver, even though I have no new games and have 680s, and can't remember which driver I was on.

    The Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q – a 27” 1400p 144Hz Monitor with G-SYNC

    My monitor is still fumbling along. I don't think it's going to get worse. I can't send it back to ASUS in this state as I have heard they are incompetent with RMAs, but I am pretty damn tired of crawling under my damn desk twice a day so I may yet ask OCUK to deal with - at least I have a chance..

    The Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q – a 27” 1400p 144Hz Monitor with G-SYNC

    I'm at the stage where I have to unplug and plug in the power brick 4-5 times to get the monitor to start now. It doesn't turn it's on randomly either anymore. Not sending it back until it fails to turn on at all, I know what ASUS are like.. Failing that if I get close to a year I'll send...

    The Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q – a 27” 1400p 144Hz Monitor with G-SYNC

    I have the same problem except the monitor will also turn itself on and off when not in use. I suspect power brick because it makes a louder than usual spark when plugging the clover-leaf cable into it. Needless to say I can't RMA it in this state - They'll plug it in, see it works and call...

    The Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q – a 27” 1400p 144Hz Monitor with G-SYNC

    My Swift has finally died today, to top off a completely **** day.. The only way to use it is to wait until it powers itself on, then turn my pc on to keep the monitor on.. I suppose this is another Asus return saga that I'm about to embark upon?

    The Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q – a 27” 1400p 144Hz Monitor with G-SYNC

    I considered a brown out, but we're not having problems with any other electronics. It makes no sense for it to turn itself on and off. When I'm using it it's fine - doesn't turn off randomly etc. Can't help but think this is a prelude to something worse..

    The Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q – a 27” 1400p 144Hz Monitor with G-SYNC

    Ok I'm lying here in my food coma and I've been watching it. It turns itself on and searches for a signal, then goes into standby because my pc is off. 15-20 mins later it switches itself off. 15-20 mins later rinse repeat.. I assume this is a valid reason for RMA?

    Monitor turned itself on again last night.:eek:

    The Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q – a 27” 1400p 144Hz Monitor with G-SYNC

    I've noticed that my Swift is turning itself on (not from standby). I came home just now and it was one standby - last night it woke me up when it came on. ROG Swift Skynet edition?

    Battle of the GPUs: Is power efficiency the new must-have?

    As long as less power = less noise I am happy. I can't be doing with a loud-ass PC that renders a console port 5FPS higher than a quiet one.

    Issues with Xonar Phoebus

    VLC used to be fine before I reinstalled windows, but the other issues have always existed - I used to put the out-of-sync audio down to having a 120hz monitor but that wasn't the case. I assume it's one of the following: -Faulty Phoebus (it gets quite hot, which can't be normal?)...

    Issues with Xonar Phoebus

    I've solved all the above issues by removing the phoebus :). It's out of warranty by now surely, so I'll chuck the crappy thing into my junk box.

    Bombarded with mediocrity

    R.E Resi 4 HD in OP: I bought that as I loved it on the Wii. Couldn't reload my weapon on pc. Great. Once I'd used my pistol and shotgun clips up it was knife-only kills. Gave up..
