    Replaced C2D and P5W due to CPU fan failure.

    Thank you for all the replies. I'm not sure why the mobo didn't shutdown if it stopped receiving the RPM signal from the fan. Regarding the CPU overheat alarm, I have my BIOS set at default settings and never heard an alarm. (My original mobo AND my new mobo are both the ASUS P5W DH Deluxe...

    Replaced C2D and P5W due to CPU fan failure.

    Bumping because I'm flying out of town on Monday so I'm hoping to get some feedback before then. Much obliged to anyone offering suggestions!

    Replaced C2D and P5W due to CPU fan failure.

    Well I'm now $470 poorer due to my Freezer 7 Pro fan failing on me and thus allowing my E6400 to fry itself and my P5W DH Deluxe. All components of my system are brand-new as of September of this year. In short, here's what happened: Rebooted PC on Wednesday night (no particular reason...

    Dell 2407WFP or BenQ FP241W

    Honestly, I see no reason not to buy the Dell. It's (currently) over $100 cheaper and has a couple built-in card readers (one less device to have to plug into your main box). I use this display 8-12 hours a day for both work and gaming and it truly is beautiful. Remember I am a graphic and web...

    Dell 2407WFP or BenQ FP241W

    If it's far superior, and you intend to keep it for a while, then yes, the BenQ would be a better choice and worth the extra $80. I don't know anything about it, however, so make sure you're comparing apples to apples in your research and are weighing what's important to you, etc.

    Dell 2407WFP or BenQ FP241W

    I understand. All my computer gear is tax-deductible because I work from home. So replacing parts frequently is not a problem for me. Remember, though, that my only hesitation with the Dell is the slight banding that only affects me when I do gradients in Photoshop. For gaming and movie...

    Major issue with Xbox 360 1080p over VGA on 24" LCD's

    I'm using the VGA cable for the 360. I'll try the hard reset next time.

    Trying to understand 2D/3D clock differences

    Aha, there's the implementation of the acronym 'Double Data Rate'. I get it now. Also, am I to assume that BOTH cards are running at those speeds? There doesn't seem to be a way to have Everest differentiate between each card. Thanks x80064.

    Dell 2407WFP or BenQ FP241W

    I have the Dell 2407 (rev. A02) and there are still banding issues. It's not terrible, mind you, and if you have the settings adjusted properly you can get the banding down to say a 2 out of 10 (where 0 is no banding and 10 is severe banding). For gaming and movie watching, I've not noticed...

    Major issue with Xbox 360 1080p over VGA on 24" LCD's

    I got lost reading this thread but thought I'd post my question here since it seems similar. I have the Dell 2407 (native res of 1920x1200) and hooked my friend's 360 to it last night. The closest setting for 360 is 1920x1080 (which my monitor supports). However, no matter what I tried, I could...

    Trying to understand 2D/3D clock differences

    Using Everest to display my video GPU and video Memory clocks (on the OSD), I see that in 2D/desktop mode they are 500mhz/594mhz (GPU/Memory). This is normal and expected for my cards (x1900 Crossfire edition and x1900xt). When I go into 3D/gaming mode, I'm alt-tabbing back to my desktop so I...

    Thanks for all the replies, it's much appreciated! I really like this Chaintech on ZipZoom: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=292003 Does anyone know, will I still be able to use my frontside audio ports with this card? Obviously I would have to remove the...

    Soundcard for $25, will it do the trick?

    I'm currently using the Realtek onboard audio that came with my ASUS P5W DH Deluxe (link to full system specs in my sig). However, I do get some occasional hisses and pops when gaming so I'm thinking I should just go ahead and buy a separate sound card. Here's one I found at CompUSA nice'n...

    I/O Range conflict in Device Manager

    Thanks for that link, tk11. I Googled forever yesterday but could barely find any information on this. I'm reading through it now. EDIT: Well at least I'm not alone with this 'issue'. Maybe an updated chipset driver from Intel somewhere down the line will correct this. Otherwise I'll just...

    I/O Range conflict in Device Manager

    I recently installed my chipset drivers as I had not yet done it since building my new machine about one month ago. Afterwards, I started going through Device Manager (the 'System devices' section) to make sure that the driver versions and dates are correct. That's when I noticed an I/O Range...

    How to verify if CrossFire is working or not

    Those FPS dips look just like mine in similar areas. However, you're 3DMark scores are better. I still need to get around to testing. I've been too busy trying to find a new place to live though!

    How to verify if CrossFire is working or not

    Not OC'ing at all right now. I just let my mobo (P5W DH Deluxe) auto-detect and set things at stock. I'm surprised that a C2D at stock can't handle the towns all that well. I truly think it's because Oblivion wasn't designed/optimized for a multi-core setup, at least the PC version wasn't. This...

    How to verify if CrossFire is working or not

    I'm not sure what would be causing your crashes and other strange graphical anomalies. You may want to try posting on the Elder Scrolls forums under 'Hardware & Software Issues' to see if others have had similar problems. I did experience a strange graphical glitch during a couple playing...

    How to verify if CrossFire is working or not

    Hmm, I suppose there's a very very slight slant to the back of the card which goes beyond the port itself. I don't think there's anything that can be done about that. Iow, I kind of thought it was normal for such a long card.

    Ok, I just noticed something odd with my Crossfire Edition box (yes, the retail BOX). Here's some pictures: Notice it says x1900 Crossfire: http://stage.creationsite.com/kevin/CF1.jpg It's hard to read, but it says x1900CF GPU in the first bullet-point (I highlighted it)...

    How to verify if CrossFire is working or not

    Yes I mean literally 10-15 solid minutes of JUST the splash/loading screen (the part before the shareware prompt). Also, this is a fresh install of Windows XP Pro with SP2 (and it's legit).

    How to verify if CrossFire is working or not

    Haha, thanks for the follow-up, gersson. Yes, I am definitely using a CF Edition card as well as a regular card. At least, that's what the box said! When I open CCC I have the option of enabling Crossfire, which I have done. I need to run 3DMark06 again with lower settings, however. You posted...

    How to verify if CrossFire is working or not

    Thanks for the advice, nullpoint. I'm planning to at least experiment with some OC'ing but I first have some reading to do. I'm having a hard time finding good newbie tutorials. There's lots of posts from newb's with similar questions that I have, but not really an all-in-one spot with a how-to...

    How to verify if CrossFire is working or not

    Not sure if you're still monitoring this thread or not, gersson. But I just ran 3DMark last night and scored 5710 with Crossfire enabled. That looks significantly lower than what you and others have suggested I should get. Also, it literally took 10+ minutes just to open 3DMark06 (the splash...

    Crossfire, E6400, 2gb (3DMark @ 5710)

    From what I've read on here, I think my score should be higher. Here's a link to view my posted results: http://service.futuremark.com/orb/resul...er.jsp?projectType=14&projectId=558482 Also, I should note that it LITERALLY takes 10 minutes to open 3DMark06 (demo version). The splash...

    How to verify if CrossFire is working or not

    Yup, that's what I figured. Not sure if I want to OC as this is also my work PC. So it runs every day ALL day and I need this hardware to last for some time to come. Either way I have some system tweaking to do still, but that's for another day and another thread. Thanks for all your hard work...

    How to verify if CrossFire is working or not

    Ok, just removed ATI Tool and set everything according to your instructions - same FPS. Anyway, I'm no longer complaining as I'm getting much more consistent 30's when walking around outdoors (about 85% of the time). Towns are all over the place though, from 12 to 60! It just depends on what...

    How to verify if CrossFire is working or not

    I appreciate the explanation very much, and in fact it makes sense to me. When I looked more closely at ATI Tool settings, I noticed that the memory clocks are not set to what the x1900xt's specs are. I hadn't noticed it before you brought this situation up. Also, I thought that if ATI Tool was...

    How to verify if CrossFire is working or not

    Sorry, I'm not trying to be difficult. I'll certainly keep experimenting to utlimately find my best performance. Would you mind expounding on why you think ATITool is a bad idea, though? What did you mean when you said that my cards are probably running in 2D mode by using ATITool?

    How to verify if CrossFire is working or not

    I found that just using the regular Windows uninstall method to remove the drivers isn't always effective. It may work, it may not. I highly recommend using Driver Cleaner Pro. It does add an extra reboot to the driver switching process, but it's also a fail-safe way of doing things.

    How to verify if CrossFire is working or not

    Yea but then there's the whole warranty issue, plus the actual hardware mod. I tried running with ATITool running, and again with it NOT running... FPS was the same. If I learn how to use it properly, wouldn't I then be 'good to go' ? Plus, it seems to auto-detect the voltage and memory...

    The magnets in my speakers are 'supermagnets' or 'everyday magnets'? I'm not sure which one way you were going with that. :confused:
