It's better to use the DVI cable supplied with the monitor as that's how you'll get 120Hz.

just put the dual link cable in and it has come up with 120hrz in the options now thanks

They're the Q-Code LED's.

They display the system status.

They should count up during the POST process and will display an error code if the POST process fails for some reason.

They uses numbers and letters as they uses a hexadecimal system for counting.

Once the system has posted successfully they should settle on a final code.

See pages 2-22 to 2-25 in the user manual.

Looks about right compared to the other scores.

Heaven is mainly a GPU intensive benchmark so overclocking the CPU may help a touch but you'll see most improvement if you fancy having a go at overclocking the GPU.

Fair enough.

At least you know it's working as expected.

Enjoy

That cooler has had a very low key entry on to the market, when in 2011 did it come out?

it came out just after sandybridge E its quite good as well doesnt make much noise and currently my cpu temp is 34c (thats with the heating on in the house) but normally in the day its around 25c at idle and i havent seen it above 41c yet

Cheers buddy, very interesting. Quite pricey though!

yes it is bit pricey but i just thought id be diffrent and try it so far im very happy with it only thing id say though is that if you want to fit another 120mm fan either above or below it i doubt you can as the radiator is slightly bigger than a standard 120mm fansize not sure if all other liquid coolers are the same ie the Hydro ones and others
