There'll be an explicit toggle for HDR on/off, it can just function as a regular SDR monitor (and is probably better off as one) if you're not trying to send it an HDR signal Review of a model from the same line, probably the same panel, showing tests in both modes: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27uk650-w Llamadeus fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Jan 5, 2020 |

There are a few examples of people combining an L12S, SG13 and SFX PSU. Maybe not optimal because half the cooler would be right up against the power supply but better than stock cooling.

aas Bandit posted:How is it better? Honest question--not being snarky. The main reasons a U14S is a few classes above a Hyper 212: it's physically bigger with a bigger fan (which doesn't need to spin as fast), more heatpipes, better contact with the CPU heat spreader and a more advanced fan bearing that's known to have a pretty good sound profile (the Hyper 212's sleeve bearing is the cheapest and simplest type).

I'm guessing that D15 is listing at $180 because it's the special AM4 SKU, which I assume they discontinued since they put the AM4 mounting kits in every SKU now. Anyway if your case has a window you might as well get a black Chromax edition imo

To be fair, the CPU line-ups right now are close enough in the gaming-only use case that you're not losing out on much with the "worse" option (and there's the stock situation on top of that). But for stuff like heavy multithreaded work or thermally constrained small form factor builds it's more like intentionally crippling your own PC.Sab669 posted:Obviously a computer isn't as serious of a purchase as a car, but like if I bought 4 Fords and every Ford exhibited problems/outright died, why would I ever buy a Ford again?
