I am in the same boat , waiting for the PG 27uq and PG 35Vq to drop the trigger on one of them. HDR is aweome on capable panels with an efficient local dimming , HDR Peak Brightness crossing 1000 nits and black tipping 0.05 nits and below with a wide enough color gamut covering more than 85% of DCI P3 and rec. 2020 color space. Experience what real HDR id all about on the sony x930e.

The above two monitors will be lunching soon (Q2 2018 most probably) Nvidia Released the Big Format Tvs / Monitor Hybrid which is similar to the specs of the PG 27uq but 65inches and an Nvidia Shield. Same Panel technology ( HDR , FALD , VA Panel , 2160p , Qauntum Dot,  144hz )

Re: Post your rig

Sold my old hardware, although I'm against updating CPUs right now, I had to cause mine was bottle-necking a lot. And the 8600K is a really good deal this time around.

current specs:

Mobo: Asrock z370 extreme 4 (the best z370 I could find in Lebanon,and that doesn't break the bank)
CPU: i5-8600K OC'ed to 5Ghz
RAM: T-Force 8GB 3000mhz. Really bought this one cause it's red lol. I'm actually a HyperX Fanboi, should've got the predator and painted that
GPU: Asus GTX 1080Ti Turbo.

The cpu is watercooled, but I still need to decide if I'm gonna do the gpu. The 1080ti has a lot of VRMs to cool, and I'm honestly more afraid doing so on it than the older 970 I had.

same.. waiting for these new monitors. Although i'm kinda worried the VA panel will suffer from ghosting.

Re: Post your rig

That psu is so loud!

When I fill the waterloop, I use a jumper for the motherboard connector that way the PSU turns on without the motherboard, and can then turn on the pump alone.

While doing so, I was never really able to hear the PSU going. At times I even had to put my ear next to it to make sure it's on.
But that could be due to it not really powering anything but a 45W pump.

Do you mean loud as in the graphics on it being loud? I was thinking about removing that sticker, and cleaning the glue with WD-40

Re: Post your rig

Replaced the soft tubing with rigid ones. The soft tubes just got yellow-ish, and I got tired of the liquid leaching plasticizer and resulting in slimy residue.

Bending tubes turned out to be a lot of fun.

Updated the links.

I might redo the gpu->cpu tube as it came out not parallel with everything else. It's a tough bend though

Re: Post your rig

I used this chassis accessory which is designed for some Cooler Master cases, but It will work for I think any 7 expansion slots cases and I had to cut all of the metal brackets.

Problem is we don't have much choice case wise in Lebanon.

Yes this case looks amazing in real, the photos do not show that properly, in addition to decent cable management in the back and great ventilation.
The AI tool is nice, you can connect up to 9 fans to it if I am not mistaken and RGB led strips, which are all controlled using the CAM software (In addition to the NZXT Kraken CPU cooler if you are planning to get one as well), the downside here is the CAM software, I have read a lot of mixed reviews and many people claiming this software is garbage and keeps crashing ... Maybe because of older versions since this case has been out for a year now but in my case it is running fine no problems whatsoever so I cannot complain about it.
You can also bypass this AI device in worst case scenarios and connect the fans and the RGB led strips (if any) to your motherboard directly and control them using your M/B software since all gaming and enthusiast boards come with plenty of fan and RGB led headers nowadays.

Re: Post your rig

moved my current build to a Caselabs SMA8 that i've modded, happy with how it turned out!

CPU is getting old now but i'm waiting for Zen 2 mid year before the upgrade.
