Huh, you are right. It turns out DP does carry audio. Didn't expect that. However, since I've been using analogue audio perfectly fine despite using DP, I guess it should be alright. My monitor cannot pass audio like a TV. Or rather, apparently all it has is a single 3.5mm audio out that's only...

Yeah, we usually get a markup of anywhere between 30% to 100% on audio equipment depending on how rare it is. Since they are pretty huge for affordable shipping, importing usually doesn't work out either. We usually don't have the latest stuff either when it comes to audio gear (i.e. tried...

If I connect the output from AVR (HDMI output I assume) to my PC monitor, where does the audio go? Do I have to then use the analogue audio outputs? For instance, on this receiver, would I connect my PC monitor to the "HDMI OUT" on the top left corner, and then my home theatre to the group of...

Unfortunately I don't believe my PS4 Pro has a 2nd HDMI port, so its HDMI is already used for video, and my PC monitor doesn't have any audio out. Is there some splitter that can split this single HDMI cable so that HDMI video goes to monitor, while HDMI audio goes to the receiver? On my PC, I...

I'm looking for a setup that allows me to deliver 5.1 surround sound from both my PC and my PS4 Pro to one set of PC speakers or home theatre (getting new ones). Ideally, I'd like to be able to switch between them easily, or allow both audio sources to be active and I can just mute one of them...

Dell, being the amazing customer service they are, have offered to replace my failing U2711 with two of the comparable monitors they have available. U2713H: http://accessories.ap.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=au&cs=audhs1&l=en&sku=210-41287 U2715H...

I have myself a new 840 EVO. I've noticed that there is quite a number of firmware updates and support software surrounding the SSD, so which ones should I get exactly? http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisite/SSD/us/html/support/downloads.html I imagine I will definitely...

Second hand home theatre stuff look REALLY good for value, but I thought it's usually highly unreliable to buy audio equipment second handed?

I have a set of Logitech G51 from many many years ago, and while it has performed admirably over the years, I feel it's starting to become undeserving of my sound card. As such, I'm looking for a decent 5.1 set. Placement requirements: Mid: top of monitor Front: desk Back: wall (hanging on...

It's a bit of both really. I know its limitations, but those 3 Noctua fans will at least make the case a bit quieter, and a bit cooler.

H440. Although I decided to not waste parts and decided to go with 3 Noctua NF-F12 front, move 3 stock fans top, and leave rear stock fan alone. ADD: On second thought, maybe I'll just not install those 3 spare stock fans. They'll just add more noise without much benefit.

Okay, I think I'll go with D-15 after all. Now I'm deciding on fan replacement/addition (if any). I'm planning to replace the 3 front fans with 3 Noctua NF-F12, and add 3 Noctua NF-F12 to the top as well. I think I'll just leave the rear fan alone. Any suggestions?

I found out that a D-15 will indeed fit. But how quiet exactly is a Noctura D-15? I'm seeing a lot of benchmarks where AIO water cooling kits like Kraken X61 beating D-15 both in temperature and noise. Add: Is Seasonic Platinum as quiet as X series? I don't mind the cost, it's simply that X-850...

I think rather than SSD and HDD combo, I'll try one of those PCIE SSD in a combo with a larger regular SSD. 2GB read write sounds glorious. I do place my computer on the floor, blocked on right side by a wooden panel. I don't really care if it's water or air cooled. I know that one of those...

What about a NZTX H440? I quite like the design, and heard some good reviews about it. In terms of storage drive, I suppose I can always go pure SSD.
