OC3D @ i43 Part 2

Winners

We're always on the lookout for people to help here at OC3D, and with help from the excellent folks at QuietPC we managed to make a few people happy. Now due to toms awesome reporting skills being slightly hindered by the gallons of alcohol he seems to have consumed over the weekend he lost the note pad with all the winners names in! So we best just roll with the pictures and say a big thank you to Quiet PC - Scythe - Coolink - and BitFenix for providing the prizes we gave to the lucky winners.

  
Over the weekend we had many YouTuber's and forum members drop by to say hello, but we would like to name drop Bigbazz from the forums aka: Gordon Bastini. Tom also had the pleasure of spending Sunday evening with Kathryn Notley & her other half Aaron Doherty. I was told specifically not to tell you all her Facebook photos do not do her justice and Kathryn is actually really fit in the flesh!

Yeah i have uber-high reservations on the ASRock one. I even read around 20 reviews all were like very good/great or top pick but i STILL can't find myself to pay for it. Thanks for the alternatives MDZ. I really plan on getting chipset Z68 only ( if i wanted p67 i'dd pay more for a asus maximus . is the rest of the pc okay ?

Everything else seems fine, not really interested in a SSD ?

The Gigabyte Z series of boards are good and when ivybridge are released next year you can put it straight in and do a bios update to unlock pcie3 so seriously look at gigabyte z's

yeah i read gtx590 Has OC problems that one burned after 1.0V o.0 . The faulty performance might be due to drivers in games and the OC might have been a faulty board or a test board. Probably gigabyte has fixed that ( i hope :-s ). Thanks Excalabur i'll check the corsair 1200 ! Mainly i don't plan on OCing the 590 unless i hit a game that i have under 30-40 fps on 1920x1080 full high details.

If I'm outlaying nice cash on all these bits, I'm not settling for a 1920x1080 screen. I'd be getting a pc monitor that does 1920x1200. Forget this marketing "FULLHD" 1920x1080, that's aimed at TV people.

Why? The picture ain't getting better because of that and the monitor will just cost laods more

Slightly higher resolution and lower ms rate, tbh I don't see the point as well I'm perfectly happy using my tv as a monitor, which costs less and provides me with the capability of watching tv as well.

Well with the budget i had that BenQ at 230$ was the cheapest best i could get that had at least 2ms G-to-G and looked good. Read some reviews about it and i am pleased. My second option without spending more money ( wich i cant afford atm ) is an Asus 24" that has the extra 120 pixels. I don't know what to say about it. it's cheaper by 20$ and i can't find any decent reviews of it on. The Model is Asus VH242H. What do you guys think of it ?
