Nope. With nVidia you need sli for more than two monitors, even with display port.

There are now (within the last few months) some custom made cards from certain manufacturers that support more than two outputs per card. There was a company advertising their new 580 that can do Nvidia Surround mode all on its own, it might of been one of those MDT card but I don't remember.

Amit

I was looking at it, yeah. Still, those are super high-end custom cards. The stock technology doesn't support it nor is it supposed to. It's not a bad thing if they can enable such things, though.

What I mean is why is there a sound mixer and a giant speaker on your desk. A giant speaker on a glass desk. Is that a good idea? Also, what looks like a sub is on your computer case. Is that a good idea, too?

Ki11a_FTW
March 4th, 2012, 11:12 PM
Sound mixer is actually a big benefit to me. One channel is for my PC, another for my keyboard, another for my TV and another for my mic. I do a lot of recording so it comes in good use. The speaker has been on my desk countless times over time, its not 100 pounds and there is metal support beneath, lmao. So yeah, great sound and quality. Is it a good idea? Yeah it is. Also, that speaker isnt a sub. theres two more in the back of my room for surround sound.

Amit
March 5th, 2012, 09:31 AM
That's what I thought about the speaker on the case. I was skeptical whether it was a speaker or a sub because it looks about the size of a sub from a 5.1 PC speaker set. But then it doesn't really make sense that you have such a small sub considering the other big audio stuff you're packing lol.

esdf supremacy

who the hell use's esdf seriously.
Discussion necro, but w/e, I want to chime in on this. As someone who just recently switched to ESDF a couple weeks ago, I agree that it's superior, at least for RPGs. If you're playing a game which you need a lot of keybinds for, it's better. It gives you more keys to bind to the left of your hand; it's as simple as that. I recently started playing WoW again, and I switched to it to give myself more easily-reachable keybinds. I actually don't even use ESDF in WoW; I just use ESF, and use D for another keybind. There's no reason to backpedal in WoW unless you're a tank.


I don't get why you'd do it.
As someone who has played RPGs a lot, I figured you of all people would be able to figure it out. It's all about giving yourself more easily-reachable keybinds.


Between mouse buttons and keyboards with macro keys there's no point.
The macro keys on the far left of some gaming keyboards? They aren't as easily reachable as W, Q, A, Z, etc. are from the ESDF configuration. As for mouse buttons, yeah they help, but even with the Razer Naga I just got which has 17 buttons, I still need a dozen or so more binds on the keyboard. If you have a ton of abilities you need to use, and want to keybind them all (I imagine you would unless you're a bad who clicks your abilities with the cursor), then ESDF is superior.

Only thing is you'll be misclicking stuff for about a week until you get used to it.


in practice, muscle memory would repeatedly pull my hand back to wasd.
This. It took me several days (probably close to a week) before this stopped happening. Once your brain "unlearns" WASD though, it's great.

Cortexian

I use WASD + Mouse clicks for skills on buttons. I never really have more than 15 skills in RPG's that I use often, so 1-5 above WASD + Shift/Alt 1-5 combos are plenty.

esdf would be nice, seeing as I have a keybind on caps lock and lots of things using shift or control. Takes some hell of dedication to not use wasd though, especially if you play other games as well.

Basically what I do for LOTRO. I used to use each set of 4 macro keys on the G110 to seperate types of skills (ranged, special ranged, melee, etc.). However, since I installed windows on the SSD, I'm too lazy to spend 2 minutes to set all the macro keys back. It's not hard to use the regular shortcuts to begin with so I doubt I'll ever use the macro keys again.

Alright so I finally decided to go out and buy the Corsair H60 because the weather is very very warm around here and it's making my PC run extremely loud. Since my current case doesn't have enough fan mounts to complement the H60's intake fan I also bought the Antec One mid-tower case. The Case was $45 and the H60 was $55. I ported all my components over to the new case, but I don't have 70% or higher Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the thermal compound off the CPU from the stock cooler, so I'm going to put the H60 in later. Overall, the noise is about the same, probably because I'm right next to the case and sound from the CPU cooler comes through the top fan. The top fan spinning at 800RPM (rear fan 1200RPM) seems to have helped with dropping my CPU temperature 10 degrees down to 50 celsius. I can't wait to put that H60 in there and see to new results.

Crappy phone pics of the build so far:

Some of the other guys (Cortexian, Zeph, Jcap, etc. ) here put me to complete shame when it comes to cable management. My lack of a modular power supply leaves me with a sloppy job at best. I forgot to pull the front panel and pci-e cable more behind the motherboard so that's a bit of a mess there. The CPU power cable isn't long enough to go behind the motherboard, come back out at the top right cut out, and then reach across the top to the CPU power connector. So, I just deicded to run the cable under the gap at the front of the GPU. Ugly, but it works.

Cortexian
May 28th, 2012, 12:28 AM
I was mainly going to ask about your motherboard auxilary power cable, is it to short to run behind the motherboard tray and snake in from the top? Everything else looks about right, it just needs to be wrangled up and tugged behind the motherboard tray a bit.

Amit
May 28th, 2012, 01:38 AM
If the top of the case allowed for a slit running along the top, then I could just run it straight up the left side of the case behind the motherboard and do what you said. Unfortunately the case doesn't have one so the only other way for it to get up to the connector is by running it straight up to the connector on the front side of the motherboard. I don't like how close it is to the heatsink of the CPU cooler. That won't be an issue after I put in the H60, though. Actually, I could take the motherboard out, run the cable to the top and then place the motherboard directly over top of it. That would work, but it's definitely not an option since the standoff placement is a bit off in relation to my motherboard. They seem to be in the right places, but it took like 40 mins for me to get all those fuckin' screws in. That was probably the most difficult part of transferring all the components if you can believe it.

I checked online for any people who have trouble with the standoffs on this case but I saw nothing, so I'm just guessing my motherboard doesn't like to play nice with cases. Only 6 screws secure my motherboard to the chassis, yet there is this one random 7th one just to the top of the PCI-E cable plugged into the GPU. On the three cases that this MB has been in, not a single one has a hole to place a standoff where that mounting hole is on the motherboard.

I was going to take a picture of the right side of the case so you guys could see the nightmare of cables on the other side of the motherboard, but you'd probably cringe. I did a little less than my best to keep everything flat enough without using zip ties to get the right side panel back on. The Side panel is only dented outwards at a maximum of 20mm so there's not a lot of room to work with behind there, but there's just enough. My main gripe is with how long my SATA cables are. That's really the only thing that bothers me because they take up so much damn space. I'll fix it up a bit more once I put in the H60.

Sounds like a good excuse to bust out a dremeland start case modding to me.

They seem to be in the right places, but it took like 40 mins for me to get all those fuckin' screws in. That was probably the most difficult part of transferring all the components if you can believe it.
Unless Antec is really dumb there should be a gap between the very top of the case and the motherboard tray/panel. You could try feeding the cable behind there and up and over.

And yeah, standoff placement is always dumb and terrible.


I was going to take a picture of the right side of the case so you guys could see the nightmare of cables on the other side of the motherboard, but you'd probably cringe.
Probably not. I don't give any shits about that side of my case at all. If I can force the side-panel on it's good enough!


My main gripe is with how long my SATA cables are. That's really the only thing that bothers me because they take up so much damn space. I'll fix it up a bit more once I put in the H60.
Anything SATA related has ALWAYS been a pain for cable management. Worse if you're running an expansion card for RAID or just additional SATA ports. Lots of the expansion cards have retarded connector positions.


I decided to take a stroll down memory lane... Oh how far I've come:

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/1299/87363549.jpg

You can see what I mean about the SATA cables in that picture. Technically those are "mini-SAS SFF-8087 x4" cables but they're basically SATA for all intents and purposes.

Amit
May 28th, 2012, 02:04 PM
Hahaha, oh jesus. Well I got some 99% Isopropyl Alcohol just now so I'm gonna grab some coffee filters and go to town on that thermal paste. Hopefully I'm not clumsy enough to let any damp area of the filter touch anything other than the top of the CPU. If everything goes to plan, I should have my Corsair H60 up and running in an hour or less. I'm always the super cautious type of person so It may take a bit more time than the average tinkerer.

Yeah, laptops get old and slow, but laptop HDDs never go out of style. They are slower of course, but hey, an extra 200GB drive is always welcome, is it not? In my previous case all three 2.5" drives (including the SSD) weren't actually mounted in the HDD cage because there wasn't space for all three (only held three 3.5" drives) and I didn't want to spend money on 3.5"-to-2.5" drive bay adapters. The Antec One case has two built-in 2.5" drive mounts. One way at the top and one on the bottom. The 2.5" HDD below the SSD is unsecured and sitting on top of an unused (but mostly filled) 3.5" HDD. I still don't want to buy a drive mount adapter so I figured sitting the 2.5" HDD on top of the unheated 3.5" drive is safe enough.

Alright, here's the pics of the Corsair Hydro H60 installed:

CPU current idling at 40 Celsius (13 degrees below my stock cooler idle temp.). I haven't put it on load yet so I'm going to go play some BF3 and see how it goes. And Jesus Mary Joseph I love how quiet my case is now. Currently, the rear fan is an intake that blows cool air onto the radiator and the top fan is an exhaust that blows case heat up and out of the case. I'm thinking of using one of the side panel, bottom, or front fan mounts as an exhaust as well. I just can't decide which. I only have one more system_fan connector left on the motherboard, so I must choose wisely.

EDIT: BF3 Strike at Karkand Conquest with 64 players: hovers around 51 Celsius. That's way better than my 63 Celsius with the stock cooler. And it's still pretty quiet. I'll have to download a CPU benchmark to really stress test it. I'm only using the pre-applied thermal compound right now so I might replace it in the future with some Arctic Cooling MX-4 to see if it drops temps even more.

Well I've had it 2 weeks, although the past week I was on holiday, so I've really only had 1 week of usage and so far no issues with the GPU fan that I can tell. Is this the noise you mean:

Those PC vendors think that the people who buy their computers are too stupid to open up the case and take a look at the shitty job they did building the PC. For the most part, they are right.

Well from looking at your picture, your original HDD uses the same style of mounting brackets that my case does:

(black sticks)
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Antec/ONE/images/contents.jpg

You need to look in the motherboard box or wherever you keep the stuff that came with your computer for another set of clips that look like it so you can install the 2nd drive safely and easily. If you don't find any, just screw the drive into the hard drive cage with the provided screws. I can't really tell from the gay lighting in your picture, but your HDD cage looks removable. If you can remove it, just screw the HDD in and put the cage back into the case. Problem solved.

I always crack open my case, first thing. Usually I like to know what's what before I boot up or add on.

Unfortunately, the usual A or B brand cases don't have any sort of cable management system. The one I'm stuck with can't do much anyways. They riveted the other side closed. The most I could do with it is swap out the mobo with another Micro-ATX, replace the PSU, or add another drive.

Let me re-phrase: Why would you want it on a desktop PC? What benefits does it provide over Windows 7?

Futzy
June 17th, 2012, 09:52 PM
The desktop exists exactly as it does in W7, with the enhancements that you would expect from upgrading an OS. eg a long needed improvement on the task manager, storage spaces, a damn nice improvement to the file copy utility with a performance graph and the ability to pause transfers, as well as better time calculations, the system performance footprint has been reduced to use less RAM and services, marginally better multi monitor support, boot time is much better, native ISO mounting, quick access to advanced OS tools by right clicking the bottom left corner (stuff that was listed on the right of the W7 start menu and much more) and generally better optimizations over W7.

If you're getting held up on Metro: "you're holding it wrong." Use it as you did the start menu. Nothing in my workflow is hampered by it and I feel that it making use of my 2560x1440 screen is better than the hugely outdated start menu style lists.

Well and good, but is it worth the price they are charging? Has Windows ever been worth the price they charge for an upgrade? I would say arguably no, and I would say even less so with this iteration. I would, at most, shell out $75 for an upgrade to Windows 8 and it has to be the Pro version. And I'm being optimistic.

That said, while WP7 is very intuitive, I do not find that to be the case with Windows 8.

I installed the preview the other day, not a really big fan. Once more metro apps are available i'll probably enjoy it more. I don't really understand why people are so gutted about the loss of the start menu though, I hardly ever use it. If I do, I just use the search feature (which i'm guessing is still there in 8).

Warsaw
June 20th, 2012, 05:36 AM
I just don't think it's efficient at mouse and keyboard input. Absolutely fantastic for touch-screens though I wonder if we need such huge elements on larger screens with higher resolutions.

I also don't think OSX is efficient at it, either. I'm rather picky with my UIs. I prefer the traditional GNOME layout over KDE, but I don't like how GNOME does some things and I like some of the features KDE has. I think Android is a pile of garbage with its UI, it can't decide what to do with itself...and I'm not even talking about the skinned versions used by manufacturers, either.

So yeah. UX is a big thing for me.

Throughout the years I did many modifications and couldn't be bothered to put everything properly back in.

That's an Antec 300 but without cable extensions it still wouldn't be enough to rerouter everything through the back...but in the end it doesn't matter anyway. Still never overheated and the temperature idles perfectly fine.

I don't like the case (the LEDs in the front fans I have form the shape of the swastika...my fault though on buying the wrong ones xD) and after I get my new one , I will make sure everything will look properly.

I'm not much for SteelSeries, but when I saw the features of this mouse (rubberized surface, white LED lighting, plug and play, symmetrical design looks better to me, and low price point), I stopped waiting for DeathAdder 2013's to restock and bought this instead for $50. Sure it has no fancy LCD display on the bottom or 6 DPI settings I'll never use, on-board memory I'll never use, and fancy LED lighting that I'll never use, but it shines as purely a gaming mouse. No bullshit involved. The brilliant white LED lighting can be turned off completely or separately for the mouse wheel or logo and has a slow pulsing effect:

Could have saved the $23 if you skipped on the optical drive unless you really need it. I've been optical drive free for 2 years :D Although, I'm contemplating getting a Blu-Ray reader since it's not always ideal to convince someone else that I need the TV to watch a movie I've already seen lol

Windows 8 sucks because of its oversimplified interface.

It was designed for retards who dont know how to do more complicated things on their computer and don’t want customization. They just need really big buttons to slam their heads against so they can tard off to facebook. Also microsoft is trying to force you to use the cloud where all your personal data is now easy for the goverment to sift through and where you dont really have any controll over your games and programs because you have to pay to use. Think about all the times you have used your programs. Lets say you payed 50 for a game in the past and play it alot. Now you only have to pay per use with no initial fee. Think about it. You will end up having to pay 50c for every use and if you use it 1000 times you will pay them 500 $ VS when you payed 50 dollers and got to play it as much as you wanted after. You are really stupid if you think that is a good idea. Also not everyone wants a computer that is always online, this means that most of those giant button apps for retards are useless.

I know it was designed for a tablet. My other points are valid. On that note I think people who dont realize that upright touch screens are a bad idea are morons. I mean think about it. With the mouse you can just leave your hand at rest on the desk and keybord. Whereas If you are using an upright touch screen you are always having your arms elevated. Over a normal period of time this will make your arms tired. Play a game or do some work with a touch screen for a few hours and you will see the issue.

Just because its newer does not mean its better.

Actually, Metro was designed to be a touch-friendly interface for devices that are inherently limited in capability, i.e. PMPs phones and consumer tablets (it was actually designed first for WP7 using ideas started with Zune). The only reason they are incapable, though, is because they use ARM-based processors and there is no real productivity software for systems using that architecture outside of office applications and even with that software, displays are either too low of a resolution or too small.

It's a fine idea, however they seem to think it can be a one-size-fits-all approach and that's not true, because the desktop OS is a mature platform while tablet-focused OS is not. And worse for them is that tablets are getting more and more capable every day, making those UI designs that were supposed to help circumvent shortcomings become increasingly obstructive. For some reason, everybody thinks tablets are incapable of having applications running simultaneously and/or in a windowed format. Metro's inability to do either of those things kills it as a serious contender.

Microsoft needs to go back to the drawing board and engineer a UI that is flexible enough to be implemented without much change across their entire size-spectrum of devices that also maintains the flexibility demanded by consumers and power users. Stitching Old and New together with a few lines of code is not the answer.

Yeah I didn't get any speakers...I was just thinking of getting a decent headset. If nothing else, I'll hook it up to the stereo in my room. Optical drive was a must for me. I burn (and rip) things every so often. And I used it for the Windows installation.

USB installation is still, faster :P

It's all just scuffs and shit that won't even come out anymore.

Edit: However the reason I took the pictures was two-fold. 1: Because I had everything apart and outside anway, and 2: 'Cause I plan to get some 6-pin PCI-E cable sleeve in the next couple of weeks and I wanted before/after pictures.

I guess I'll try and clean the case when I do my teardown and cable management when those come back in.

Have had this case since before the Nvidia editions were announced, got that sticker in a swag bag from some place. I thought it looked pretty awesome. :saddowns:

Just noticed that all the stuff that looks dirty on the back of the case isn't actually dirty. That's just me not caring about what the rear paint job looked like. I pained the case flat black since this was from back before that was standard in gaming/enthusiast cases.

My BlackWidow Ultimate 2013 is unusable after the first login because subsequent logins cause the keyboard to start repeating the enter/return key forever until you quit the software. The firmware update was supposed to fix that specifically, and yet it's still happening... Razer support can't help me either, hence switching to Corsair instead of waiting for the Chroma!

TBH, I'd cancel pre-order until you know if they've fixed the problems in the firmware or not.

Flawless.

The 2013 edition only exists because the original was prone to breaking, like most Razer products.

That was a software issue, was fixed after I posted that. Therefore, obviously not the fault of the hardware. Hardware has been solid, I still don't like their software as much as others.

I agree with Freelancer, my Razer Deathadder™ hasn't bothered me at all since I chucked it in the bin. Before that though, the left click was totally fucked and one of the side buttons had caved in. It was really frustrating back then, but now it's all better!
