Have you tried pressing CTRL+F1? I think that should bring up the menu you want.

Nice results. However I don't quite get why you chose the title you did.

What cooler are you using? Stock?

Is it a B3 or G0 stepping? I supposed by "all the thermal throttling turned off" you mean features like Speedstep (often called other things depending on bios)? They are not really throttling but a power saving feature. However I think the CPU will throttle down or turn off at the Tjunction or...

Yes, you should definitely remove the old AS5. You can use Isoprophanol, acetone (the one without any form of oil etc.). There are other compounds that can be used too. Check the PDF for instructions. http://www.arcticsilver.com/pdf/appinstruct/as5/ins_as5_intel_dual_wcap.pdf

drm: Try to compare scores from the CPU test instead. That should be more suited for comparison with different videocards.

I've also heard of people having a problem with 4GB of ram, but being problem free with 2GB. Could it be a BIOS issue? Have you tried the latest?

I ordered one of those for my Q6600 G0 today. I hope it's as good as I think it is. I've also heard that the included paste is supposed to be pretty good, for some even better than AS5. I just assumed AS5 was much better before but now you start to wonder.

Most often it's the other way around. Having a higher fps number than your refresh rate is the normal case, that's why people turn it off.

Yeah, I just have to join in and say widescreen is awsome. It just feels more natural to me.

Was the problem fixed by the RMA?

You mean the inputs for it were analog, ie. d-sub, right?

Seems we have a small list now from this forum including myself. blunden soul1 the_bear linux-works

Sure, it's there but if you notice it probably depends on a lot of things like monitor you hade before etc., Good or bad eye sight has nothing to do with it though. Also, you can get used to the ghosting of your specific monitor which makes you almost not notice it unless you think about it.

Great. What's your panel code in the service menu? RT803?
