    Its a Fatal1ty Z97X Killer/ASRock, but if you do some research their are plenty of CV1 users who have similar issues on it seems other motherboards, unfortunately there are so many variables. Eg If my computer was connected by a USB Wifi dongle, or an Ethernet connection then I would not have had a single problem, as the PCIe Wifi card would not have been installed. I guess you will only really know when you try it, with what ever setup you may run.

    The Rift can be susceptible to fogging up, as it can get quite warm, it depends on the environment and temperature/moister differentiation.

    But it sounds like you are referring to the sweet spot for vision in the Rift. Given the design of the Rift there is a specific area of the lens that gives the clearest vision and outside of that it can be blurry. There are a couple of things that are important here, the first is correct physical adjustment of the Rift on your head so your eyes are looking at the sweet spot and the second is setting the IPD up properly.

    Could be the 'God Rays' they can look like that sometimes - depends on what is being viewed.

    I got motion sickness from mine. I was ok for the demos stuff but as soon as I drove i felt ill. I wanted to love it but even as I got my VR legs it made RR (Real Reality) weird and shaky. The depth perception however was amazing so i can see how it will be great. I sold it and will wait at least one more generation.

    Did you feel sickness even in driving games with motion?
    I also feel sickness in first person games (when strafing) but I don't care as long as I just use VR in a cockpit

    Yes I pretty much only play driving ga,ex and as soon as I started racing I felt ill. I kinda thought of it as reverse sea sick. Usually seasickness comes from not seeing the horizon move with my body. This I felt it was because the horizon was moving and this time my body wasn't. Hope that make sense
