    I only used it for a few minutes and tested some 1440p youtube videos on it because I don't want to use it with my current build, but I didn't notice any bleeding. Then again I wasn't really looking for it either.

    Turn off the light in your room and use this video fullscreen to see if it has any bleeding.

    I'll try it sometime soon. Too lazy to take it back out of the packaging atm.
     
  4. Why not just make a black filled image in MS Paint and fullscreen it? Seems easier to me.
     
  5. 1440p g sync is the best technology since sliced bread machines

    No lightbleeding issues so it seems! I love this thing. I wish I could build my new setup now but I'm still waiting on a couple parts :(

    Cable management probably could be better. But it's still miles ahead of my last build!

    This was my first venture into water cooling. I wanted to make it easy :p Next time though I want to build a full loop including any GPUs I have at the time.
     
  12. Dang. Now that is some crazy hardware. Congrats

    Just realized my CPU cooler isn't listed for some reason... I got the X61 Kraken.
