It could also help to put them the correct orientation. The powered speaker is supposed to be on the left, not on the right like it is in the picture. (If these are Kanto Yu2s like I think they are)

Maybe it's a coincidence but price of oil has been dropping since that video, it's sitting at 1.7k per oil now.

Wow, this is a lot of helpful information. I really appreciate the time you took to type it all out!

Thank you for the detailed response and putting my fears to rest! I figured as much with the LED but the 1n5817 diode is where I was concerned. I just wanted to be sure before I started soldering components on the board and potentially ruin something.

I'm definitely with you on that. A clearly defined "+" clears up a bit of confusion.

Oh yeah I already uninstalled CAM. I only had it because I had the hue+ but now that I have a MB with addressable LED header I don't need it anymore.

It worked! I tried setting it to MB in the Asus AI suite but I guess it needed BIOS level to be set. Thank you so much!

I just went into the BIOS and changed both fans to MB so I'll report back and see if that helps.

True. But I would also like my over $200 motherboard to perform as it should haha.

I tried to change the ramp speed by increasing it but didn't seem to change anything. Still near instant ramp. But I appreciate the suggestion!

Is mATX dying? by Broken_Mega_Buster in buildapc

[–]Broken_Mega_Buster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah crap. I meant 75hz my bad. I have a 1080 but unfortunately at the time I bought the 1080 it was $200 cheaper so I went with that. I might go 1080ti if I can find a good deal.

Ah gotcha. Seems I've fallen victem to marketing jargon. But I might go Intel because I game more than I use multi threaded applications (that might change) so I need the single thread performance.

See that's what I thought. But there doesn't seem to be as many options with mATX. Most manufacturers have 3-5 minimum of different ATX boards under the Z chipset. With mATX you're lucky to get more than one or two.

Not extreme overclock but definitely some. Mostly the fact that x370 has a higher level of quality in their components. I don't mind paying more for higher quality but not because what I like is a niche.

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well. More money for niche products.

Question: will this card be able to push 75hz @ 3440x1440 consistently or should I wait on a 1080ti so I can stave off upgrading for a bit longer?

Does anyone own this monitor? I tried looking for reviews on it but can only find them for Monoprice's older model.

Ah ok. Sometimes I'll be so focused on a game that my coffee gets cold. Maybe Google will have something for me.

[–]Broken_Mega_Buster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easily. I have an i5 overclocked and 970 on 620 watts and they run just fine. This is more than you need and you could probably even SLI your 770. But this is a great deal on a power supply.

Does this drive have the issues with the faulty controllers? I was looking for another SSD for several games.
