First a little background:
I've been experiencing erratic boot issues for a while, which encouraged me to replace my aging motherboard/CPU/RAM. The problems were inconsistent, but often video output would cut out after POST, I would restart, say to load windows normally when it told me...
So I take it from your previous post that you do have a colorimeter? I'm surprised that it doesn't give you a black point at all. Unfortunately, I know very little about calibration hardware and software, so I don't know of any free software that could help you out. I just used the program that...
I've posted about this before, but never really got much of a response.
My first zr24w didn't have any dead pixels, banding issues, or severe blacklight bleeding, but even after calibration at 100 contrast, I found the black levels to be unsatisfactory. After reading the tftcentral review, I...
Excuse my noobishness, but you're saying that one should go into catalyst and set the overall gamma curve to 2.2 before undergoing any hardware calibration? When I adjust the gamma slider up, it makes a line with a decreasing slope, not the increasing slope shown here...
My zr24w arrived 36 hours after my initial order from Overstock. My initial impressions are good, but calibration has been tricky. I decided to buy the zr24w after reading tftcentral's updated review. It seemed as if, while initially the black levels might be the one detriment to the panel, they...
Looks like there is 15% bing cashback as well, but I don't know if it's possible to combine the two. Does anyone know? If you can get both discounts, then this deal is smoking
I really want to get the Scythe Mine heatsink but I've heard conflicting information regarding its compatibility with the P5B-E (plus) motherboard. Does anyone here have both of these or knows firsthand that the two do not work together?
Right click the taskbar and deselect "lock the taskbar." Then simply left click it and drag it to the top of your screen. Once you've done that relock it again and you're set!
I already have a thread on anandtech about this. If you do read it, be sure to get all the way to the end.
OK. So my friend John has a birthday coming up in a week and my other friend and I were looking into getting him a new graphics card. He's since backed out of splitting a 7900 gs as it's...
I have the same desk as you!
What do you think of it? I have my system set up in the curve part and it seems every time I put a bit of weight on it, my lamp shakes a bunch and my monitor just a little.
I just built my new computer and have yet to change any BIOS settings. Should i set the memory voltage to 2.1v (the max for P5B-E)? I believe my memory is built to be run at that voltage. Is there any reason not to?
One would think that Q-Fan would detect the high temperature and ramp up the CPU fan speed but I guess not. I just tried again for a few minutes with Q-Fan disabled and now it's ramped up to nearly 2000rpm from only around 850rpm. Temperatures were around 51 degrees during gameplay. Is this...
I just tried COD2 again with the chassis fan on full. Once again it hit 60 degrees after a few minutes. I would expect that my computer should be able to play games with stock settings and fan set to max and not overheat. This seems a little ridiculous.
I just set up my new computer, installed programs, utilities, drivers, etc. and I'm loving it, but it's very loud. Here are my specs:
Intel C2D e6600
Asus P5B-E
Corsair HX520
Asus x1900pro
Antec Solo (Rear TriCool, no intake fan)
At first I tried the lowest chassis fan speed and...
Just received my 2007wfp: A03, Made in Mexico, RT803. So far I am very pleased although there are some dead pixels in the upper left hand corner. This is my first LCD coming from a 19" CRT and it looks great, though I don't have a point of reference so I can't say if it's definitely S-IPS/S-PVA.
Turn it off, then turn it on while holding down the + and menu buttons. A second after the image appears take your fingers off the buttons and press -. A menu on the left will appear and the yellow alphanumeric code at the top indicates your panel type. Mine says "RT803" which I am pretty sure...
There are various forums where people occasionally post coupons that they don't need. I got mine off of fatwallet.com. You should just find a couple, bookmark them, and check them very often. It is kind of annoying that if there is a discount already on the monitor, it does not stack with the...
I just found a 20% off coupon for Dell SB monitors, which would make the 2007wfp only $320 with free shipping and before taxes etc. Right now I have a 19" CRT and the Dell looks pretty appealing. I don't think I would be able to run much higher than its native resolution in most games so getting...
If you care about noise, you might want to go with the Antec SOLO from Fry's. It's only 50 bucks AR. You can probably get a decent 430 watt PSU for 50 or 60 bucks.
I just recently ordered parts for a new computer but have yet to buy a new keyboard. My primary concern is good key feel - not too stiff/mushy etc. I don't need it to be wireless or have any sort of back lighting. I think I remember trying an eclipse and the keys were weird - it seemed like it...
I would check, but i repackaged it for now since I'm waiting for all my other components to arrive. If I open it up again, I'll be sure to measure it for you.
It appears that someone has used this. When I try adding it in my cart the page refreshes and nothing happens.
If anyone else has a coupon that is at all applicable to a 2007wfp, please PM me!
The Antec SOLO case is only 80 bucks minus a 30 dollar rebate at frys.com. Shipping is free too, although there is tax for at least California.
I just bought this for $96 dollars, free shipping, no tax on amazon.com. This is driving me CRAZY!! If only shipping wasn't so much, I could return...
