Bump. Are there any DP 1.3 monitors already in pipeline? And are GPUs (either discrete or integrated) already capable of DP 1.3? In meantime, VESA already standardised DP 1.4a.

Do 4K monitors in general run very "hot"? Or is it just UP2414Q? I reduced brightness to 40, but compared to HP ZR2440W (at 100 brightness) it still feels like an oven. PS. I did expect somewhat warmer screen due to the density of it all, but certainly not this.

I take it you mean Linux. :) What about OS X in portrait?

4K Surround, nice! But what about Linux and OS X? Could you try it on those OSs?

What about the portrait-mode being only at 30 Hz? Nobody else tried it? That's a deal breaker.

So it's true after all. One reviewer (Jeff R.) on Newegg also mentions this issue: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824260145 Anybody managed to get 60 Hz in portrait? PS. Is there really going to be not a single 16:10 4k monitor (3840 x 2400)? :(

Zangmonkey, thank you (very) much for your help. Much appreciated. Still, if anybody has some knowledge on these built-in tuners, please don't hesitate to reply.

Please, does anybody know how much functionality/capability do those built-in tuners have? I guess not much (how much?), otherwise people wouldn't be buying discrete/separate DVB-S[2] tuners ... or would they? :)

Do modern built-in DVB-S tuners allow for DiSEqC / USALS control of motorized satellite dishes? If they do, there is no need for HTPC internal DVB-S(2) tuner, is there? :confused: I mean, except if you'd want to record something (or does the TV's built-in tuner do this also)? PS. I did...

Indeed, SR45 read the Book of Revelations: “Woe to you O earth and sea, for the Devil sends the Beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short. Let him who hath understanding reckon the Number of the Beast, for it is a human number. Its number is six-hundred and sixty-six.” ;)

Thanks Mr. Demon. Thank you very much!

Just done MEMTESTing (v4.10) as Mike Clements instructed me to. All MEMTESTing was done with DRAM voltage @ 1.85V and MCH/NB voltage @ 1.40V (stock @ 1.80V and @ 1.25V, respectively). module (1st "old"): _5 passes - no errors. [ photo ] (All photos @ imageshack.us.) module (2nd "old"): 10...

This idea does help (I wouldn't thought of it). Indeed, even if I don't have a 2nd comparable (with DDR2-800 support) MB, I could cheaply get a used one (and while am at it, use it to build a "new" PC for my father). I'll go and see what's on sale.

:eek: OK, you've convinced me ... I'll go the HDMI to DVI route. :)

HD 5450 ---> HDMI output ---> HDMI to DP cable ---> DP input ---> HP ZR24w. Can I tell the GPU to send DP signal through the HDMI output? :)

I have a mouse button mapped to ALT + F4 to close the active window. Well, it does close any "average" folder (like "My Computer") but not some more "important" ones (like "Device Manager", "System properties", etc.). But I can close those "important" ones when pressing ALT+F4 on a keyboard...

Red Falcon, thank you for pointing that out. Is this the VRM (Voltage Regulator Module) you pointed out: Asus P5K series - VRM / Power ciruit cooling? With my current electronics knowledge, I can only check, say, if capacitors were blown out. :) Again, thank you, will certainly check this out...

Can anybody confirm this? Is it true? (After playing around trying to convert HDMI -> DP, I suspect it is, I just need confimation. :)) BTW, why can't HDMI be converted to DP signal (while DP can be converted to HDMI)? Where is this anti-symmetry coming from? :confused:

Case has decently low temperatures, so I'll go with less dust. Thank you for the first-hand tip for the front 5.25'' bays! Thank you guys! I wouldn't have found the right term on my own. Thanks.

Yes, but the strange thing is that any combination of 3 modules runs fine for weeks ... then put in the 4th one ... KABOOM in less than an hour! Nevertheless, I'm still going through the MEMTEST one-by-one ... can you tell me where the logs will be saved? Or do I have to take pictures of the...

And what is the way to do it? Any straight-forward and neat (not just, say, sticking a piece of a paper on the rear, for example :)) advice? Like the 1st picture in the Inside the Computer's Case article: what are they called (those metal strips that cover the rear slots)?

Will do that. Where does MEMTEST save the results/logs?

Would closing the rear slots [Antec P182 rear photo @ ImageShack] help with (1) airflow and/or (2) less dust in the case? I rather ask, because I presume/hope that people at Antec know why they didn't close the slots. :p If it is reasonable/advantageous to close the rear slots, how would you...

BAD_POOL_CALLER @ 0xC2 :( BSOD image: Now I increased DRAM voltage to 1.90V (I shouldn't go any higher, huh?) and left NB voltage @1.25V ... hope it'll behave. :) If this fails, then I'll (as Mike Clements advised) lower the DRAM voltage back to 1.85V and increase NB to 1.40V. Should even...

I've increased from Patriot's 1.80V to 1.85V (smallest step available) and NB back to 1.25V: it seems somehow better ... for now; BSOD hits you when you least expect. :p Will certainly let you know if it goes unstable again ... but, definitely an improvement from before. I must say that I'm...

Yes, once there were errors ... on second "pass" no errors. And I also switched modules back-and-forth, so whichever 1 of these two "new" modules I put in (i.e. running with 3 slots filled) ... everything is OK. There is (almost) certainly something wrong only when running with 4 slots. I took...

:( Even after increase to 1.55V I still get BSOD. And I doubt increasing it further to 1.70V will help either (if it is safe anyway; even the 1.55V voltage increase certainly heightened the CPU temperature for about 6°C :)). PS: AIDA64 still reports "North Bridge voltage" as 1.25V, though.

OK, I've just increased the NB voltage to 1.40V in BIOS. The Everest (or Aida as it is now called) still shows only 1.25V! Can OS (Windows 7) override BIOS settings? :confused: Or is this just the program's misinformation? PS: If the NB indeed is @1.40V it sure made a lot of change in...

You said to "bump 1-3 steps". Well, BIOS only has 4 voltage levels for MCH (1.25V, 1.40V, 1.55V, and 1.70V). :) Also, the BIOS' setting on "Auto" doesn't show which setting is currently used ... which would you say it is? Is it 1.25V? (EDIT: Just found out it is indeed 1.25V using Everest trial...

Mike (Official Corsair Tech Support :cool:), thank you for the reply. I'll follow your advice ... but I'm also interested in why this should/will work? For instance, does upping the voltage increase the S/N ratio (and therefore decrease the chance of garbage bits)?* *Just an (un)educated guess...

cvgd, very articulated response. Will certainly consider Hazro, thank you. hajalie, the Dell 2709W (for instance) has two "pins" on top of its VESA stand (just searched and couldn't find an image; any 2709W who unscrewed the stand knows "what I'm talking about" :)) ... and I think Dell...

Not for $27.20. :rolleyes: In post #19 I'm asking how can I find this stand in EU*? Does this stand have any specific name ... because, generic name of "Adjustable Tilting DUAL Desk Mount Bracket for LCD" is useless. * Because the shipping from North America to EUrope is expensive (mind the...

I've already asked three4seven directly, but more heads know more: where to get this (or similar) stand from EU? Namely, the weight of the stand makes the shipping cost twice the unit ... plus, there'll be some taxes. :rolleyes: And also, is there any non-generic name related to this stand...

Hello cvgd. :) The NEC is $1400+ ... and the Samsung isn't on sale yet (or is it?). I've seen the Hazro thread and was (and still am) intrigued by their $$$/performance ratio ... but, I'm mainly worried about the longevity of the Hazro firm itself. :( [If I recall correctly, the Hazro was...

That will be enough for the HP. BTW, does HP also have (secret :rolleyes:) revisions like Dell does? If so, in which revision is the HP ZR24w?

Yes, a spartan HD 5450 with 1x DVI (aren't nowadays all "Dual-Link"?), 1x DisplayPort, and 1x HDMI. I thought this GPU would suffice for 3 monitors?! :confused: Wiseguy, I agree with you on dot pitch ... "unfortunately", the U2711 is already on its way. We'll see how its dot pitch and my...

Snowdog, thank you for the DVI-HDMI converter suggestion. But does then HDMI display the 1920x1200 resolution? Wiseguy, mainly for work ... I'm tired of scrolling. EDIT: I really have to again say thank you to three4seven for his great suggestion. :)

Just looked at HP ZR24w ... and can get it for $100 less (than U2410). But, it doesn't have HDMI, so I'll have to use DisplayPort ... which means that I need to connect U2711 @ 2560x1440 via HDMI. [Because my GPU has 1x DVI, 1x DP, and 1x HDMI.] Now, is this possible? Is it possible to have...

You'd think that I would be then bothered by expensive stands? :p
