Current lack of HDMI 2.1 capable graphics card. The upcoming rtx 3xxx should be 2.1 ready but that'll take a while

Is it purely a matter of viewing distance as to why 55" screens don't work well for computer usage? Or are there other reasons? I've been thinking about moving to a 55" for PC usage, and i'll definitely increase the viewing distance to compensate. Just not sure if i'm missing other potential...

haha, i was checking out their lower profile coolers. Not many reviews compared to some of the other SFF heatsinks, but seems to be a good performer too. hmm i wonder if the bends make a difference, now that you mention it. Though, i'd think after all these years of heatpipe technology, these...

^ Great casing suggestions. I think those itx casings have the least compromise for the volume. One thing to add - do not obsess over the internal volume so much. I did that at first and many itx casings seemed way too large considering the internal volume. But this is necessary to accommodate...

I read through the change log for the different versions, has anyone actually upgraded from the older ncase versions to the newer ones? Did you find the upgrade worthwhile?

What you could do is find the measurements of the MSI/Gigabyte tube length, then do a rough estimation with measuring tape to see if it's long enough. I'm sure you could get the tube length information from msi/gigabyte or online

Numbers in the test results are impressive. If only i could get it to fit into my small itx builds...

the stuttering is caused by the c300, not anything else

Intel probably has the best RMA procedure. So smooth and easy

i noticed the same thing. i had a 4850 + e8400 oced to 4ghz. In heavy firefights - which happen almost all the time - i couldn't get decent FPS (>60). I downgraded to a 8800GT but at the same time upgraded to a q9550. To my surprise, my minimum fps went up even at the exact same settings...

seriously? I hope that doesn't mean they suck.. cos i'm getting them in a few hours' time. By the way, i hope you did see the leg at the left side, cos it's looks like an A leg, or am i wrong? :confused:

I'm pretty sure this is a Galant, but can someone double confirm it with me? And no, the seller doesn't know what model it is lol

It'll work then, great!

Awesome desks!! I just got myself a Galant, it's this model. I'm thinking of getting this extension, but i'm not sure if it'll fit. Almost every Galant extension i've seen extends the shorter end, but i guess i'm kinda weird and i prefer to extend the longer end cos it's broader. Will it work?

Thanks for the upload, appreciate the effort. Yea, 1080p's working well and it looks very sweet! There's the button to select 720p/1080p; i think it takes awhile before it shows up, now it's there

Impulse: Only if you're buying them straight off the audioengine site at MSRP ;) I've seen a couple of guys around here and in other forums that snagged them at pretty good prices. Can't remember how much exactly now, but it was in the 200+. That makes them great value :D I second the...

Yea, you probably do. But watch out for your hearing, those are dangerously high levels :eek:

Game runs much smoother than i thought it would be; i'm on a q9550 + 4770, playing at 1920x1200 with maxed settings. FPS rarely dips; the graphics look pretty weak, but i guess that's compensated by the hu-uge game world that needs to be rendered. Loading is extremely fast too < - That...

Oh yea, forgot to mention it in the first pm; i'll take the q6600 + TRUE @ your price ^^ Paypal's ready for you Thanks! Pls update me on the q6600 warranty status as well heh

lol seems like i have a pretty similar story to most here. I was on a brisbane 3600 o/ced to 2.5ghz paired with a 8800GT; the fps was crappy - never above 80 and in firefights it'll crash rock bottom. Then i read all the stuff about how TF2 was sooo cpu-dependent. Sold those off, got an e8400...

Great to know. I did what i could with soft bristles + isopropyl alcohol. Pretty sure i got rid of all the gunk on the pins themselves. Here's hoping the new owner of my mobo doesn't have any problems with it lol

I was taking out my c2d processor out of the socket and to my horror, some thermal grease found its way into the LGA775 pins. I tried using some pointy metal tools to scrape the thing out but it's quite an uphill task. Anyone with ideas how i can remove them effectively without damaging the...

But that's not taking into account how much the e8400 can oc

wow mate.. that's a monster you have. Excellent work!

try 4x800

oh damn, yea. I had no idea what i was saying.. LOL i meant 1.3625. My bad. Hmm i'm running my ddr2 800 sticks @ 1:1 so it can't be that.

I'm using a gigabyte p35 ds3p. I've read through most of the guides around, have my fsb and mch volts set to +0.2, trying for 4x800, which i've read, is hardly a problem for most q6600s. Anyway, i bumped the vcore to 3.0625 just for added stability. I primed the rig two days ago and i failed...

The E8500 deal was off; it was 20 bucks more for them compared to the quad. But i do have a e8400 on its way that will probably reach me after the new year. I'm still in two minds as to which chip i should keep. The quad does a wonderful job at multi tasking, but i'm not sure if i really...

Aight, i finally got my rig up and running. I downgraded from a 4850 to a 3870 and guess what, i'm getting twice my old fps with this new q6600. It's crazy how cpu dependent the source engine is lol.

Ok this is really odd. I'm gonna get a q6600 from this dude tomorrow and he told me he got it march 07. Here's the thing. The guy's a total klutz at this stuff, doesn't know what a g0/b3 is, so i got him to check out the product code. He said it's a SLACR. I'm kinda confused. I thought there...

The E7300 whips the 2.7ghz amd x2 (brisbane) ass any time

Bangin' deal. I'm mad jealous.. enjoy the card

Man, just get a friggin aftermarket cooler, and stop obsessing over it. My 3600+ used to run into the 60-70s regions for 6 months 24/7 and no problems whatsoever.

Wait wait..water cooling just so your card won't die? That hardly sounds like a proper reason to go WCing. The single slot design is just fine. Tons of people have no issues with it and neither have i on my old 8800GT. If it really bothers you that much, why not just get a 3rd party hsf?

Ok i found this http://www.legionhardware.com/document.php?id=691&p=5 That pretty much confirms my suspicions. Actually i had a 8800GT for awhile prior to this 4850.. and although it was some time back, i remember quite clearly my fps was around the same for both cards, which makes no sense...

I currently have an amd 3600 o/ced to 2.8ghz paired with a 4850. Despite what many people say about higher resolution gaming being not that dependent on processor speeds, i can feel the lag, especially in crowded areas So now i have a e8500 on its way to fire up my pc's processing power...

omfg man dude that's a crazy steal on the hsf. Where can i cop me some? They still available?

A friend of mine has that exact same board, and he's very pleased with it

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually have the rivatuner setup file lying around, but i was afraid it would clash with the CCC so i didn't install it

So.. i got this card (asus 4850) a few days back and i'm loving the performance. I did, as per kyle's guide, take control of my fan speed too.. But i can't see why i need my card to run at 500/750 idle when i'm surfing the web/watching movies I've tried flashing my bios to the various...
