No worries - did you work out how much it was? I'll send you the money when I get paid on the 28th!

What's going on with the fan there? That looks like bolts from the other side with nuts on this side? Heh. Nuts.

I wouldn't worry about changing yours.

While we're on this subject I would just like to warn everyone to AVOID buying H100i until Corsair have released a fix for the totally-screwed voltage regulation on the fan controller. CorsairGeorge and RAMGuy (Corsair reps) have claimed that it can and will be fixed in an upcoming firmware update. I don't know how the hell a firmware update can fix hardware issues, but they said they can fix it so *shrug*.
No update from Corsair yet, but me (and a million others) are keeping a close eye on it. Ta-ta.

You make it sound like they put faulty hardware in the item, they are saying they didnt. Clearly a firmware update could would and will fix this, similar to how a driver update can fix voltage regulation on a GPU.

Unfortunately only a very small portion of the overall group of computer builders are "nerdy enough" to update firmware and all of that. The rest will say "it's good enough how it is, it's not breaking on me.. so....."

well no need to fix something that isn't broken? (actually updated bios of my gpu lately not sure if worthwhile because OC is way lower now)

They will think it isn't broken when technically it more or less is. "But oh it still works so obviously it isn't THAT broken." Blah.

True but that means the new stock will be shipped updated, similar to the 6month M4 firmware that bricked u in 6months of usage.

More like 7 months - and I was happy how fast Crucial jumped on that with a fix. That sealed the deal for me, I was like, my next SSD shall be another Crucial. My Crucial m4 128GB is going smooth as all hell, and I bet yours is too.

Yea scared myself royally not to long ago tho, was toying w/ some settings, checking XMP and bringing my clocks down to 4.0 because I had to remove my snipers(1 died) for some gigantic corsair vengeance 1600's, anyways long story short I enabled my 2nd profile to save the settings and ended up restoring defaults, NO O.S. located on drive...I WAS LIKE MOTHAEFFA then I noticed my sata 3 boot splash wasnt popping and it clicked in.

I think I am going for an SSD.

Hear they make life 10x easier.

Screw dual monitor...

Not sure if serious.... >_>

Either way, they DO make life much better.

Dual monitor + SSD = yay

indeed :P but if just gaming the ssd is better imo

**Bananarepublic** · 2012-11-23, 03:22 PM

Yeah but the dual monitor barely will fit on my desk I think. Have to place it in a corner and look at the corner. I have a 24 inch already. Wait....I will show you.

See? my monitor, my keyboard, a external WD HDD which is like 4 years old.

I can move the stack of games, make some room. But not sure if it would work out well with a second monitor.

**shroudster** · 2012-11-23, 03:37 PM

can place them in an angle like i did (http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...r#post17892550)
just measure up how much space you got total (a desk +-75 cm in width from edges of both screen stands should fit)

**EllishaPally** · 2012-11-23, 03:40 PM

Been thinking of swapping out my 120hz 24" asus monitor for one of the korean ips 1440 27" monitors.

Anyone know if it's a good idea or should i just stick with my vg236h?

Also will update with pics as my rads and wc loop packages come in today / early next week. Can't wait to finally have this thing under water.

Sadly my desk isn't that big. :P I would really have to stuff it in the corner.

of course I would get an 18 inch one.

I just tested it...

I think it can be done but barely.

what's the width on your desk then? (talking about it that you would have +- 1/3 of each monitor go beyond desk dimensions on each side)

Just measured....80cm.

But I will have to do it later. AC3 comes first and have bills to pay. :P
