    MX1100 sucks

    I agree the mx1100 sucks. The lag on small movements is horrible. I can barely use it. heck, with this mouse i have a hard time clicking the start menu button. :( ..unless I get right over it the first try moving the mouse quickly. Searching the Internet it's a common complaint on the...

    what if the Lockheed Martin Real3D/100 (not i740) had been a consumer card ??

    ah this thread brings back memories. Was big into SGI machines back in the 1990s...anyone remember the SGI Magic Bus??? Other 3D players were Accelgraphics and the one from Mitsubishi....remember their 3D ram? Evans and Sutherland? Intergraph had some neat 3D workstations back then...

    ummm.... Core i7 920...How warm exactly???

    Those temps sound typical. I was hitting nearly 100C with a TRUE RT with a 920 @ 4GHz 1.27 volts. I lapped it and the temps went down to upper 70s to mid 80s. I'm using the standard FDB fan that came with it so it's not the fastest fan in the world. I like it because it's quiet though.

    BFG trade-up from 280 to 285?

    Anyone know if any of the 285 cards will be available to someone with a 280? I'm not sure I want the extra heat or power requirements of a 295. One of the OCed 285s might be a good trade-up. :cool:

    DFI vs. ASUS

    what's with all the DFI h8? I have a DFI SLI-DR Expert board and this thing owns my nuts. Overclocked Opteron 170 to 2.75 with only slight raise in voltage (1.4V). works great and use RMClock to idle down to FID 5 and 1 volt. I tried my best to get it to crash but making the voltage go up...

    AMD Opty 165 O/Cing Poll

    There's talk that the new revisions are reporting more accurate temps. I have a new board I got last week and the temps seem fine as far as I can tell. Low 30s at idle, 46ish at full prime burn. currently idle now at 24C with the chip at 1.05V 1375MHz. This is an Opteron 170 2.75GHz @ 1.4V...

    Who makes the best 7900gt?

    Most of that seems to be talking about it being damaged as a result of modifying it. I think that's what their main concern is based on my ATI and BFG experiences... BFG basically has the same thing in their warranty terms: http://www.bfgtech.com/tech_redux.html but u can read more in...

    Who makes the best 7900gt?

    You can still possibly change the cooler on it and they wouldn't care as long as what is wrong with it wasn't caused by changing the cooling on it. I changed my cooler on my ATI card and RMA'd it and they sent me a new one. But what was wrong with it had been wrong with it from day 1 so had...

    On a BFG card, does putting a NV Silencer 5 on it void the warrany?

    This is similar to my experience with ATI. I purchased an ATI AIW 9700 and had two problems with it as soon as I got it but were small and didn't think much of them. Anyway, I bought a Zalman to put on it to quiet it down and make no noise. Worked fine. Well, a bit over a year later I sent...

    2405FPW owners - please read, dead pixel survey

    I have two here and no noise on either of them. I do know of the noise you're talking about because my 2000FP has it ONLY when it's turned on AND the brightness is turned down really low, and then it slowly goes away after about 20-30 seconds.

    If you got a new one exahgned to you, where did it come from? I got one exchanged to me but it came from Ohio and I thought only refurbished ones come from Ohio? There appeared to be fingerprints on it which makes me think it is refurbished. Also, when you move it around it seems like...

    Unofficial 2405FPW Thread (Now that its been announced)

    I called up and got a replacement for mine. HOWEVER, I thought new ones came from Texas and refurbished ones come from Ohio???? I am looking at the tracking information for this one and it came from Ohio. :( I was within my 20 days so this better not be a refurbished one!
