Mod Note: In all of my benevolence (and the fact I'm tired of cleaning gag posts out of the BA thread) I have created a new (did we ever have one??) Off Topic thread for all your randomness and IT-related humour! The rules are: there are no rules. Although posting on-topic stuff here or stuff that belongs in Hardware Discussion etc. better may be moved randomly with extreme prejudice!! It will also make you look silly

Not sure under what forum to address this question so thought I would ask it here as I know there are some knowledgeable people here with regards to all areas of tech!

My plan is to get a good av receiver and 5.1 speaker separates for my living room along with a 50inch tv (i have been saving for a while now). Im wondering in relation to network access which is very important - is it more important that the receiver is network capable or the tv, or both for that matter??

The AV reciever will more than likely have better Network Function than a smart TV but I havent used the new smart tvs last time i used one it was alright but i prefer a more dedicated kit for that stuff

as far as the finer details maybe the HTPC forum?

My stupid motherboard tray hole was just that TINY bit too small to fit the back plate on.. So I have to take everything out. How the fck do I take out my graphics card.. I can't push down the little lever yoke enough.

At ~160km, the theoretical minimum ping you could have is just over 1ms, with no routing delays.

Theoretical minimum ping would be 160km/3E+05km/s . Which is JUST over half a ms

The Enniskillen server is known to be broken, it throws out 0ms pings all the time. Really it sould be 20+ no matter what you do.

Ping is the round-trip time, so double that.

Serephucus

Most of the time I was getting single-digit ping (or damn close to it) from Maynooth. Usually was around 12ms or so, I think.

200/10Mb connection going in next week. Upgrading from 4/4. :P

My 290x block and back plate arrive Tuesday and my case bits from Slovenia (screws, pci brackets, cable tidy mounts etc - bloody expensive at 100 euro

) are due Monday so will be able get my rig back up and running pretty quick after back from Germany

. Cant wait to be gaming again.
Just wish I didn't have exams on the 11th onwards

Also wondering who on here plays on dayz/bf4 and would be up for a few games of either after my exams? I have my own Teamspeak server that has a few regulars, it can be accessed by using the address gimmegaming.ie in the teamspeak client.

Make sure to post up pics of the build when your finished.

Gumbi

Yes, and let us know of your temps and stuff

Go the whole hog, reapply core with some aftermarket paste etc. What kind of rad setup you have?

480mm rad and 2 * 360mm rads (all 60mm thick). They cool cpu, memory, mobo and gpu though.

Serephucus

Nutcase. :P

Here's me thinking 2x240 (80mm) rads was nuts for CPU+GPU.

I've posted up my origin names, if anyone adds me, I will accept when back in dublin tomorrow

.
Will post up pics of the update. Will also cf 290x soon enough but might buy a xbox one and ps4 first.

Gumbi

WOW... Should have ridiculous temps then

Someone just put a QNIX 1440p on adverts. I've been looking to get one for a while, should I take the leap for 220€?

Headshot

Cant go wrong with the monitor, just make sure about back light bleeding and dead pixels etc

Seaaan

I hate waiting

Monotype

€220 is very good value. I wonder if customs are paid yet. S/He could be selling it without accounting for the bill in the post in a week or two! :eek:

deceit

I've put in an offer of asking on it as i'm sure I will find a use for it on a backup pc for that price

.
Whats the backlight bleed I should be looking out for and how should I test?

Monotype

Black screen in a dark room should show you want the bleed is like. I was half thinking of putting in an offer myself, but since you've already offered the asking, I won't step in.
