That PSU looks deadly, do you need a case fan to pull out all the hot air rising from it though?
Oh I was gonna put an order in with scan, nice tip Im gonna sign up now

I've read that a positive pressure setup is safest way to go but they are designed to work at high temps so I'm sure as long as you have some airflow through the case it should be fine. From the tests I've seen they don't bat an eyelid when running hot even at high loads. I'll be giving it a good workout so I find out if its up to the task.

Did you have to order over the phone to get the cheap delivery?

Yeah, you give them a buzz and just mention you want to avail of reduced shipping for AVF members. I'm not 100% but you have to link your account to your AVF account and possibly need a minimum post count or some sh1t3.

Never going back to TN again, right?

Yeah, that's why I upgraded. The fuzzy VGA bugged me. The question is did your car pass?:D

Definitely spending the money on the right stuff anyway

Well at this stage my pc with monitors and all the other bits is 3-4 times more expencive then the car I use to drive to work and back home... Thx god not many people know that

Yeah its an amazing monitor, couldn't be happier with it myself!

dont worry I think they keep the orders in the system for a good while (like 2 weeks min)- its in their best interest to keep the orders open, they just wont ship it til you part with the cheddar:P

ShadowHearth, do you notice any lag when gaming compared to your last monitor?

Link to your monitor?

Goo stuff & best of luck with it. I'm torn between 2312s & 2412s for my next eyefinity set up and whether it not the extra size warrant the extra sponds..

Hopefully the 2412s will drop a few by the time I go for them.

well i was in same boat m8, i am working on my eyefinity setup little by little. got gpu and 1 monitor sorted so far!

i did go for 2312hm setup, because of the few reasons:

1. 50eu cheaper per monitor for pretty much same size
2. 2312hm has standart 1080p resolution, because 2412 has 1920x1200, which is rare resolution, so you can mix and match monitors with 1080p ( i was not sure if i will like 2312hm as i though it was not a proper IPs color wise and not a proper TN response time wise, so if it had turned out ****, i would use it as one of the sid monitors and get other brand as main monitor, i was wrong, its damn great, i want 2 more now )
3. input lad on 2312hm is waaaaaaay better then on 2412, its a great review of both there:

Thanks for the link ShadowHearth decent reviews, my dilemma is I have 3 x 22" 16:10's (@ 1680 x 1050), if I get 3 x 23" 16:9's the screen size compares like this-leaving me slightlly less vertical height. If I go for the 3 x 24" 16:10's, they're upping the width & height from what I have already-like this.

Either way I'm on a winner resolution wise as both are a vast improvement over my current res. It boils down to cash nearer the day and if the U2412M's input lag of 9.4ms is good enough for FPS's.

BTW not sure if I posted this link before, but have a look at this post on WSGF re. removing the bezels, well worth doing.

well. if you will buy all 3 at the same time, then yup, 2412 is great if you can afford it. the other reason i went for normal 1080p as it is less pixels, so a bit less stress on GPU too.

after market cooler or water is the only option.

Have my Inno3D GTX 570 installed and it's now the loudest thing in my case. Noticibly loud in fact even with the fan running at the minimum.

Anyone have any experience with making their GPU quieter?

This is the daddy...
Nice and quiet

So you bit the bullet and went for it then :pac:
Apart from the noise hows it running?

Amazing!
BF3 went from 30FPS on low (HD4870) to 50 FPS on ultra with stupid motion blur off

The noise isn't even that big an issue, it's just i spent a bit of money making the rest of my PC quiet...

Enjoy gtx 570 m8

I had one and it is a great card for anything up to 1080p for a very long time. I had motion blur amd AA of when I played with 570. Looked fantastic and never went lower then 45 fps.
