ManOwaRR wrotei really want a new monitor that can do 4k + hdr+ 1ms response time +144Mhz this PG279Q Rusted on my desktop , come on asus give us a new monitor technology <3

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 )

I can help get this for you guys (US -> Dubai -> Lebanon), though it is super expensive

Question, I am thinking of getting the h700i, do you like the case? is the ai fan tool any good?
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.

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.

Nice build! How did your hands on a SMA8?

MrClass wroteNice build! How did your hands on a SMA8?

Thanks!
I'm UK based and there was a European seller before caselabs went bankrupt:(
So now i can't find parts for it anymore. But still glad to have bought it, best case i've ever owned.

Long time lurker!

Getting ready for a small addon :)

congrats, may I ask how much did you buy the 2070 super for since its not an AIB and did u ship it or get it from lebanon?

Thank you!!

I paid MSRP, I'm lucky due to having relatives that live in the US that keep traveling back and forth and who are huge tech nerds like me :)

Ill post a complete setup once I pop this one over the 1080ti. Plan to use these cards for rendering.

I am curious how much of improvement does getting 3rd party fans comparing to native case fans (NZXT h700). Is it worth the effort and money?

Doing tests I've seen 5 to 10 degrees improvement over the original case fans. But the main reason is the noise factor for me. These guys are as silent as the grave.
