Bitterly disappointed.

He's gone quiet. I reckon he's like a big kid at Christmas

.

I remember getting my box with a Z77 motherboard to replace my cheap Z68 non SLI board, i7 Ivy CPU to replace my i5 Sandy, 2 more XL2420T's and another 680 in.

Good times

hehe I have it and setting it all up now. I have run into a snag with the SLI Bridge. The Bridge I have is solid and the Lightning is Big and the plastic cover comes over the SLI connector. Very poor design and no need to be like that.

Back to fiddling I go

Set a new thread up as you're not 'bitterly disappointed' anymore

I remember getting my water cooling bits and a 2nd card. Opening it up and looking all nice and shiny

I am happy for now with the cards swapped over but will have to keep an eye on temps.

TBH as long as you have a flexi one it's fine. Not sure why they made it longer.

Good luck with your first forray into the world of Sli/3D/surround.

gregster how much were the b grade monitors if you don't mind me asking?

Gregster · 2 Oct 2012 at 10:31

£400 each and you could not tell them from new tbh. One still had all the plastic around the edges. My original was £500 and a £200 saving on 2 more was sweet.

How are you getting on with the 3 screens if you don't mind me asking?

I've been itching to do it for some time now but I'm stalling on the type of monitors to get. I have a VG278H already so that seems the most sensible route but something at the back of my head keeps saying "IPS" and "7680x1440".
