A buddy of mine from work just added two 1600x1200 monitors to his setup. He's now got matched 20" 1600x1200 monitors on their sides with a 2560x1600 30" monitor in the middle. I've seen the picture but yet to see it in person. He's gushing about it. Paired that to a single GTX-780Ti and says it runs what he wants to. I'm jealous.

hahaha thats awesome lol
 
Well, my H100i cooler failed on me today. Fans started running balls out and sure enough, pump speed indication 0 RPM. Back to stock cooling until I can get Corsair to process the RMA on the cooler. Put the stock cooler and 200mm fan in where I had the rad and twin 120s. It's quite a bit louder than it used to be.

Damn. How old is it?

I have a h100i with Noctua fans that I've been running for about a year or so.

Lemme think about it. I should be able to RMA the h100. It's got a 2 year warranty that I am still only the first year or so into.

@bootyluvr: less than a year. I put the machine together Feb 2013 and put the h100 on in late spring/summer.

Looking at the posts in this thread, I put the h100i on at about the same time you did on yours. Go back to May and it wasn't on there.

Damn. That sucks.

I'm not a fan of the Corsair Link software or the stock Corsair fans but the temps with the h100i are definitely lower than the 212 EVO air cooler I tried.
 
I went back to MicroCenter last week and exchanged the monitor for the exact same model to see if it's any better.. I mean I got it to a decent color but is it bad if I don't tell a difference between 60hz, 120hz, 144hz?? :/
 
So I rolled back the Logitech software and it seems to be fine. It doesn't always happen but hopefully this will fix the issue. If you read the reviews on Newegg if the G930 quite a bit of people ***** about connectivity issues/buzzing then disconnect.

In other news my Samsung 840 EVO (120GB) SSD came in yesterday. It was on Newegg Shell Shocker a few days ago for $60 shipped so I bought one even though I already have an SSD (OCZ 120GB). I'm going to make the Samsung SSD my OS drive and I was thinking about buying a 250GB Samsung SSD and make that my game drive.

Ssd pricing is really coming down. Have you had any issues with past solid state drives?

I've had my OCZ for roughly 2 years (8,000+ hours) without any issues. Roughly 2TB of read/write with no problems. Just found the 840 EVO for a great deal so bought it. Will be buying the 250GB 840EVO and making that my games drive only.
 
Hey I was wondering if someone can give me a recommendation on a laptop. The one I have now won't run photoshop elements very well and need something that will. Mine is just way too slow to do anything now and I have no idea what to look for. I would like to try to stay around $750-$1000 if anyone could help.
