I still have my 9600xt and I'm running D3, even play with buddies via lan and it works. I can't remember my settings but it's at least 800x600 and I'm sure I could get 1024x768 with some tweaks.
One thing to be careful of is your cpu. I upgraded from an XP2000 to an AMD64 3200. It was almost...
I have not seen this CM Stacker case before but jeeeshhhh, 3 120mm intake fans??!!! That's just silly if you ask me. How about some general guidelines for a good case?
Largest you can get and use with your room / desk (easier to work on and cool)
Steel and not aluminum if you want silence...
I have an A64 3200 with an 9600xt and 3 hard drives (and 1 dvd drive) and I'm running an Antec True 330 with no issues. I don't think the power requirement for the A64 went up very much over the previous AMD chips.
I thought someone answered this already. Power and heat aren't related in the way you mean. I don't think a psu is designed to power down when heat gets too high - they are more likely to shut off completely.
I'm no expert but I always thought that peak referred to what level the psu could...
I was borrowing the gf's 17" NEC FP for gaming and it worked out well for one reason. The original box it came in was not much bigger than the flat panel and it had a handle. It was about the size of a small suitcase or large briefcase. I stored the box (styrofoam and all) in my closet and when...
If you want real overload of information you should try this site for ideas. Seems like half of my posts recommend this site.
The basic keys are:
* get rid of all small fans including video card fans and mb fans
* get largest fans possible (120mm being best)
* keep fans moving...
The Evercase is very popular with the silent pc community. It has good airflow (the front bezel is actually vented on the sides I think) and has room for 120mm exhaust and probably 120mm intake with mods. You can use the side panel vents to make ducts, throw in a few fan controllers and make a...
Hard to tell what you're doing since the picture is kind of blurry and there's only the one shot. I think you're trying to create a duct but here is an idea that worked well for one guy. The advantage is that you don't fight gravity and instead use it to your advantage and pull the heat up and out.
I have the 2001fp and I'm amazed how huge it is. One of the reasons for going with a FP was portability but this thing is so big I'm still worried about transporting it.
The picture quality is nice but I can easily see why anyone who works with photos has to have a CRT. Some pictures that I...
Your best bet maybe to run some queries at NewEgg to get ideas. They have some pretty good filters at that site that make searches easy. You don't have to buy from them but it should give you an idea of what may work. You can then post back and ask for opinions on the cases you choose - which is...
I have seen good results with only negative pressure. One recent example had just a single 120mm fan pulling air up and out of the case. Not sure if anyone will object to the post to another site but here goes:
Single fan duct mod
My A64 3200 runs at 48c fully loaded. I used stock cooling except for I used some AS2 instead of the thermal pad that comes with it. Seasons are changing though and my room temp is down near 73f so that may be a factor.
I agree that you appear to have the horsepower for video editing. The only part that is questionable is the external hard drive. I have yet to see an external drive that could match the speed of an internal drive - then again I haven't used a firewire drive before.
Can you try it without the...
I couldn't see your system because your sig is messed up. Hard to tell what could be wrong without that information.
I do know that Intel CPUs are usually better than equal performing AMD CPUs. I think I read somewhere (maybe here) that it was partly because most software was written with...
You got me curious about this now - curious enough to show my huge lack of knowledge on the subject.
So with a flat panel you can set a resolution to lower then native and tell it not to scale to fill the screen? I presume this is through the on screen menu controls for the flat panel? And if...
This makes me think I should look into the 19" 1905fp. It will probably be a while before I get something like the 6800 and by then I'm sure something more demanding than Doom3 will be out. I have a better chance of hitting 1280x1024 then hitting 1600x1200 with the way I handle my video card budget.
Only thing that worries me about the 2001fp is that I only have a 9600xt. I don't have plans to buy a new video card to drive all my games at 1600x1200.
Hmm, makes me think I should consider the 19" over the 20". I have a better chance at hitting 1280x1024 with a future video card than I do 1600x1200. I typically don't buy a new card until the price drops to below $200. This means that the latest games (like a Doom3 or Farcry) won't run at a...
I'm tempted by these deals on the 2001fp and the 1905fp but I haven't owned an LCD before and was wondering if the native resolution is 1600x1200 does that mean you should play games at that resolution or else it will look really bad?
My 9600xt can't play many games at 1600x1200. In fact, I...
