I think he is talking about when the system starts up and good flash as components start up.

He said it "stays off", I take that as no error codes displayed once booted meaning everything is okay.

Yeah the "stays off" part confused me.

Lol sorry I didn't know the best way to describe it. It coyote was right. The system stays on, but the debug light goes off. I haven't uploaded the operating system yet, just hooked up the board. I was just making sure the initial boot up was working correctly.

Thanks as always

Oh yeah, that build. I remember now. =)

660 will be a great card for her.

Magni/Modi is here. Monoprice USB cable is not. Now I remember why I don't like to order from not-Amazon.

EDIT: I know I have a USB cable around here somewhere, used for a printer. I can do a comparison when the monoprice arrives.

EDIT 2: Found a USB cable. Sounds great, exactly what was needed to drive these headphones. Not sure if the DAC was necessary, but I guess it's better than PC to AMP, since it would be double-amping and not as clean.

Weird my monoprice cables usually come in within 3-5 business days.

I have done so already. Depends how good the USB cable is insulated but it made a HUGE difference with one of our cables. One of the printer cables was unusable because it picked up so much noise. The other was no difference between the monoprice.

How are you liking the AMP?

EDT: I know you want "pure" sound but I love the richness tubes add to my sound. It isnt pure tubes but hybrid solid/tube as you know but you can feel a little "warmth" is added.

Really in all, it doesnt make much a difference but it brings the really "flat" streams to life. (just barely but a little)

Hey guys, quick question. Got a new monitor a while back. I wanted to teak the settings a little. Currently i have it set to 32bit "true color". You can also set it to 16 bit "high color. Which one is better for gaming performance? Also, my screen seems to be really bright. Is there a way to turn the brightness down in the settings?

Nvm, i figured out the brightness.

I'm pretty sure this cable is one I overpaid for at Walmart several years ago because I needed it in a pinch. Belkin brand, with gold-plated connectors, likely no different from the mono-price cable other than I probably paid $20 for it back then. I'd be very surprised if the monoprice cable is any improvement.

NZXT H440 review
I know a lot of people don't care about TTL, but this case looks pretty much awesome. As a fractal fan, the aesthetics are spot on while still supporting a 360 80mm thick rad in the front with a 280 30mm thick rad in the top. Also has a power supply cover that you could stick your res and pump in. This is the first case under 150 dollars that I would take over my R4. What do you guys think?

I'm not a fan of it. I'd much rather my source 530 over the one

The fckking dude is so ugly. I cant watch his videos the guy is so hard to look at.

That case looks okay, im just not a fan of any NZXT cases though. I much rather get a Lian Li, Silverstone, Corsair Obsidian or Fractal if im not buying CaseLabs. Although they do seem to make really nice cases these days.

Yeah if it has gold played connectors I doubt it'll be any different.

Cables are cables usually.

Where is everyone with their 780 TIs?

VA has 2xTI Classys and 2 other posters have 2xTIs, but I havent seen any benches from anyone yet.
