Can anyone give some advise on programming Tpm switches. When I program a switch for say speed brakes, when I toggle the switch down it activates the speed brakes, but when I toggle back up, nothing happens. I have to toggle back down to retract. How can I program the switch so that toggling down activates speed brakes and toggling up retracts them? Thanks for your help.

I just finished a new build a couple months ago and went through a lot of these same questions. H100i is an excellent choice. I started with the nh-d14 and the change was well worth it. I went with the g.skill trident 2400, just make sure you get the 9cl, not the 10. I have the coolmaster 932 advanced case. Love it. Highly recommend. Especially considering how large my graphics cards are. My first case was an antec 900 and my gpu's wouldn't fit. You don't need an i7 for fsx. I5 is fine. I went with i7 though for occasional video editing. I was able to oc to 4.6 no problem. I went from a gtx670 to a single gtx680 to two 680s. I get great fps with sliders maxed and hd clouds with the exception of pmdg which slows things down a bit while at the airports. Hope any of that helps.

Everyone's definition of "reasonable" is different. Take my wife's definition for example... (Just kidding honey)... Gotta go...

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Oddly enough when I sat back down to apply some of your suggestions, I no longer had any issues. After two days of not being able to get it to load, it just went back to working fine. I reapplied my tweaks to the cfg and nvidea inspector and its running beautifully. With max sliders it loads in about 30 seconds and is back to running 30 fps steady. Thank you for your suggestions though. I will keep them in mind in case this pops up again.

I hope someone can help me with this. Suddenly fsx won't load past 86%. I can boot up fsx, but when I select "fly now" and it starts to load the flight, it stalls at 86%. I tried clearing the cfg and nvidia inspector back to default no change. Please help so I can get back to flying.

I perfere three screens but there is a noticeable hit to performance. When I switched to sli that really seemed to help though. I would go with 27 over 24 if I was doing it again. I would also go with 1200 over 1080.

In the past two months, $6,500, but that was an all new pc and cockpit plus a lot of add ons. I actually tracked the costs because next year I have to sell the whole thing and wanted to know what it's worth.

I have 24s on my fx tri stand and it looks to me like there is enough room for 27s. Send me your 27s and I will test it out for you :-)

Thank you for the explanation. What I don't understand though is how 2000*(cl/Mhz)=ns is wrong though. It allows you to generally compare two rams which advertise different speeds and latencies. That seems practical because until you buy them, what other way do you have of comparing apples to oranges. What you are describing if Im understanding you, is that the ram MAY be faster after you get it home in your machine and put it to use. Right now I am using G.Skill Trident 2400 cl 9. Do you believe I would notice a diffence in fsx if I switched to 2600 cl 10?

The information I got about the ram came from this article at AnadTech: http://www.anandtech...igp-with-gskill The idea is to find out which is truly faster, such as the example of cl9 2400 vs cl10 2600. The misconception is that the higher the MHz the fast the ram. But cl is an important, often overlook factor. According to the article reviewing ram for ivy bridge, the formula is: 2000*(cl/Mhz)=latencyin nanseconds. Why do you feel that is incorrect? (No disrespect intended, only trying to learn myself) Also regarding the difference in fsx, I was responding to the original post asking about 2400 vs 2600, not the post referring to 1333 vs 2600 (that post popped up while I was typing and I did not see it until after I posted). I do not believe anyone will get a 10-15% increase in fps going from 2400-2600. Than again if you were only getting 10 fps switching from 2400-2600 got you up to 11, that would be 10% so I guess it could be possible. Likely they would not even notice the change though. Regarding 1333, that should absolutly be upgraded.

I had a 670 and now I have two 680's. No I do not think it is worth going to 680 over 670. Running 5760x1080 on Unigene Heaven set to extreme, my fps were 18 and my score was 460s. When I switched to the 680, it went to 19 fps and a 490 score. Not worth the extra $150. When I added the second card it went to 31 fps and a score of 790. I would go with two 670's.

Thats pretty close to what I have. (Maximus Formula & h100i) I've been able to OC to 4.6 with no trouble. Asus has an auto tune feature that is supposed to auto OC to 4.6, but I found it wasn't stable during flights. I got better results on my own.

There wont be any noticable benefit to fsx. That being said, faster ram does have it's benefits elsewere. I use it for video editing. You're better off though with 2400 over 2600. I am prone to error, but this is what I learned when trying to figure out how to compare ram... Take the CL/MHz*200. This allows you to truly compare different ram module speeds. For example, the lowest cas latency for a 2600 on newegg is 10. 10/2600*200=.769 at $165 for 8gb G.Skill Trident sells a 9CL 2400. 9/2400*200=.75 at $95 for 8gb The 2400 would be faster AND cheaper. Anyone can feel free to correct me if Im wrong. What Mobo are you going to be putting it in and what sort of cooling did you have in mind. These two things will play a bigger difference in a good oc than what batch you get.

It's been about three months in the making but here is the final product... I'm getting really good picture quality over three monitors. If I were buying monitors again though I would pay the extra money for IPS panels and 1200 resolution. I use the iPad during flight to go between FS Kneeboard 2 and FS Widgets for real time flight tracking. I found adding the fan on the bottom of the case really helps keep gpu temps down. The stock 140 mm fan was moved to exhaust air out the front. The new 140 mm fan exhausts out the back. All other fans, including the 230 mm side fan not pictured, are drawing air in. The blue lights were the fans that came with my ram. I have no need for ram cooling so I mounted them on the back grill beside the gpu for more air. I'm not sure why g.skill would sell blue led fans with black and red ram modules. Tips and suggestions are welcome.

You want the 3770"k" not the 3770. Even if you don't think you want to overclock now, don't rule out the option later. I highly recommend the h100i for a cooler. The difference between water and air is pronounced and the h100i is easy to install and low maint. I would recommend 1600 ram with cas no higher than 8. (Think g.skill) If you want to cut down on load times go with a ssd. If you don't want to spend the extra money for ssd, get a 10k rpm raptor drive. I don't know anything about that mobo, but I have had gigabyte in the past and was pleased. If I was buying a board today I would give a hard look at the asrock formula oc. I had a gigabyte gtx670 oc and LOVED it.
