    I don't recommend the Dell Ultrasharp 2004fpw

    There's always someone that continually gets screwed from a company... it's the law of online hardware purchasing. I have a 2005fpw with 0 dead pixels, no backlight, and an brilliant picture... sorry you had bad luck though ;)

    2005fpw widescreen res?

    Yea it does 1280x1024 but you're forced to stretch the image disproportionatly if you want it to be full screen. What I was expecting is a widescreen res that would scale to stretch "proportionatly" on all sides to fill the screen just like non-widescreen resolutions do. You kinda see what I'm...

    2005fpw widescreen res?

    This is a huge problem to me.... all LCD's support normal resolutions and other res's that scale to size, but the 2005fpw only has one widescreen res which is 1680x1050. Am I missing something or does it have a 1280x800 res which would be the next correct res/ratio that will scale to size? I...

    Out of the loop

    I still have an Audigy 1 and was wondering if it's worth my while to upgrade it at all? I purchased a logitech 5.1 set and i dont think this card truly supports it, but it's not a deal breaker at the moment. One thing I was wondering is if any of the new cards will eliminate skipping when web...

    What driver for BFG 6800 OC?

    71.84 here without issues... but I am running 79c idle in windows with this driver... is that normal? I have great case cooling.

    Raptor performing badly

    I'm afraid that's all they're slated for... select the single raptor in the drop down comparison menu and take see how close yours compares to it. Here's my 36gb raptor.

    AMD 64 90nm + Aftermarket Cooling = HIGH Temps!!

    Excess AS5 can really jack your temps up.. if it's not false readings then I'd make sure you have a PAPER thin application of AS5 on the cpu.. less is more. When I apply AS5 I use a piece of plastic to smooth out a perfect flat almost transparent layer of the stuff. When I was a newbie I put a...

    Anyone with antec truepower 550?

    This thing is a snowblower... I've seen so many review sites say it's very quiet, but compared to the Antec 400w I just replaced, this thing by far is louder then any of the fans in my case and is quite loud... at least 40db. Is there something possibly wrong or does quiet these days mean...

    Old Raptor vs. New Raptor?

    He may have a drop, but he says he can't notice when he's recording or not. Maybe he just always lags? lol.. no really I don't know, he claims he can't tell so that's all I have to go by. I can tell 20fps... if he can't then something is wrong. Still not sure if raid0 will give me the help i...

    How high will a 3500+ Winchester go

    I can get 2.5ghz out of the stock cooler from my 3500+ winnie... I'm on an a8v deluxe and stock cooler or I'd probably be able to push it higher.

    AMD64 retail HS + thermal pad

    I got a 3500+ winnie @ 2.4ghz on the stock cooler w/ Arctic Silver 5 at 44c load 1.45v, so your temps are fine imo. I'd dish out more cash for a better heatsink but I'm hitting a motherboard cap at 240fsb on this A8V deluxe.. that or my pc4000 ram doesn't want to run its rated 250fsb.

    Old Raptor vs. New Raptor?

    Well my friend is using dual raptors and our systems are the same... yet he sees no lag at all running fraps. If I drop to 1280 res and lower some settings to match his and I still get some lag, the raid0 will be the only thing different in the systems. I want to order one but you put doubt in...

    Old Raptor vs. New Raptor?

    When recording video I wouldn't think framerate would drop because of video or anything going on. If anything it may use more cpu cycles and TONS of hd writing but I can't see why any other resources would be used.

    Old Raptor vs. New Raptor?

    I don't notice any noise in my case... probably because of the 4 case fans and the 92mm cpu fan. As for numbers.. I get 8.7ms seek and 50MB/s average read using the latest hdtach. My friend has two 36gb raptors in raid-0 and says he gets around 80MB/s average read and he just bought his...

    Old Raptor vs. New Raptor?

    I got a WD Raptor 10k sata drive the first month they came out which I can't recall how far back it was, but I was wondering if getting another one today would be different then the drive I currently have. I want to set up a Raid-0 and don't want to end up having to scrap this drive and get 2...

    Which high end psu?

    Why does no one suggest Antec anymore? Price?

    Post your AMD64 OC's:

    Yikes that's scary to hear... I'm running a winnie 3500+ @ 2.4, 1gb pc4000 geil, cdrw, dvd, 4 case fans, and a 6800gt on a 400w non-truepower Antec psu. Everything is stable and fine.. but that's odd you had problems.

    which 939 board for overclocking?

    How do you get 300fsb out of pc3200 ram? I thought running asynch was really more of a performance hinderance then help.

    which 939 board for overclocking?

    Hmm... so the rounding error I got in prime95 was probably memory then and not cpu? I was running 250x10 and I got errors.. Right now I'm running 240x10 on the stock cooler 44c load. If it can do 240x11 for 2640 then that's probably nearing the cpu limit anyway.. but yea, I guess this board...

    best and quiet fan for athlon64 3500+?

    I'm running stock cooler at 44c load 3500+ @ 2.4ghz... quiet, lol :p As for massive oc'ing, yea I'd go with xp-90 and a nice, quiet Panaflo or other < 30db fan. Anything under 30db you can't really hear compared to the other 4 case fans you probably have going imo.

    3500+ winnie w/ A8V Deluxe 240x10. Retail heatsink with AS5 load at 44c :p Should I go for an xp-90 and try to push another 100-200mhz out of it?

    3500 OC temps.

    I wanted to bring this back up because I'm using STOCK cooler with a winnie 3500+ @ 2.4 just like you, but i only hit 44c load. I am using Artic Silver 5 though... might wanna change some stuff around and ensure that you have the thinnest possible layer you can put on your cpu to still make...

    which 939 board for overclocking?

    Sittin at 2.4ghz 240x10 right now on stock air cooling with my a8v 2.00.. 3500+ winchester cpu. Temp is 44c load... it boots fine at 2.5 but i dont want to push it on stock cooling even if it is still somewhat low in temp.

    Best heatsink/fan for A64?

    I got a 3500+ 2.2 oc'd to 2.4 240x10 on stock cooler at 44c load.. lol. I may or may not get a new heatsink and fan... this is all default, who needs more then 2.4 a64 power for gaming? :P

    which 939 board for overclocking?

    I'm just a modest overclocker so the a8v should do me justice. I had a rev 1.0 MSI board for the 754 chipset and it left a bad taste in my mouth, so I decided to give asus a try.. they've never failed me. Right now I'm running prime95.. stock cooling 3500+ 240x10 for 2.4ghz. MBM5 does not...

    What's wrong with the A8V deluxe? I'm getting version 2.0 which is supposed to have a lot of the initial board's problems fixed.

    3500 OC temps.

    What the hell, ok I really gotta get checked for ADD this is rediculous.. I read all the posts and still posted that. I just don't rememeber anything anyone says or anything I read :rolleyes: You did say average though... torture test load would be ideal for temp posting. I'm considering not...

    My Last Hurrah With Intel

    Had first gen ath64 3200+ and had mobo issues... and sadly it still outperformed my p4 3.3 ic7-G setup. My A8V Deluxe / 3500+ 939 arrives wednesday and I will say good riddance to intel once again.

    Antec 400w enough?

    Your 3000+ only hit 2160? I notice you have an A8V 2.0, the board I have coming... you think for some reason it's the boards fault and not your cpu? I've seen some heavy oc's with both A8V and the neo2 board... but curious why you're changing.
