[Retired] The LCD Thread

Hello all, after doing much research I have come to one conclusion. The monitor market is a sticky industry .. so many options, choices, pros, and cons it makes my head spin! I am currently seeking to upgrade my 19" Samsung Syncmaster 971P (read, OLD) to a 24" variant @ 1920 x 1080. I am a...

Just installed the Twin Turbo on my 4870 1 Gb :-)

I looped Crysis GPU test 5 times and took this shot during its 5th pass. http://gpuz.techpowerup.com/08/10/10/9n6.png

You really are not looking between the lines here. 90C was his HIGHEST recorded temperature meaning he probably had everything at full load with poor cooling. My VRAM under the TwinTurbo sits at 55-60C idle depending on ambient temperature. I achieve these temperatures with no heat sink on...

I am waiting on those temperatures as well but these ram sinks have been well received over at overclocked.net Here is a review from the man who designed the heat sinks. http://www.xtremesystems.org/f...p=3251416&postcount=44 He said he has been running these on two different 4870 models...

Oh man those custom RAM/VRAM heat sinks are awesome. I think the price is a little hefty but overall the peace of mind is better than this lame thermal tape. I am really interested in seeing your temperatures in RivaTuner/GPU-Z.

I should mention I put heat sinks on the RAM just on the VRAM.

4870 at 30% fan speed, what temp do you have?

I would hope not! I think it would be pretty lame for these fans to not be able to work at 75% their total capability. Anybody know for certain?

I have the Twin Turbo on my HD4870 as well and I am impressed with its performance and relative silence. I did not install the ramsinks that came with the TwinTurbo because the thermal tape they used not sticking-at-all. http://www.staticdream.com/upload/files/1/rivatuner.JPG These are my...

4870 at 30% fan speed, what temp do you have?

I have downloaded RBE v1.15 and created a copy of my HD4870 BIOS with GPU-Z v0.2.8. I am currently looking at the 'Fan Settings' tab and can not discern what exactly will set my GPU to spin up fans to 75% right off a cold boot. Any insight...

I have my Accelero TwinTurbo running at 75% immediately from start up. I idle at 47C with the side panel off. I thought perhaps this was a bit high but it is also 79F in my apartment. I do have one question about RivaTuner. When I start my PC it boots directly to the Windows Login screen...

This program seems a little complicated. I can't tell which fan is which! I also can't seem to figure out what variable represents fan RPM. This program says everything is at 100%

I downloaded this app called RivaTuner that has options to setup fan speed profiles for your GPU. I cranked the fans to 75% and my 4780 is at 49C playing BioShock. Any good motherboard/fan chasis controll apps so I can raise the speed on my case fans?

I got all my parts in the mail today will update with some pictures tomorrow. I loooove this CoolerMaster Cosmos 1000! I have one question though. I own a copy of Windows XP Professional (32bit) and wondered what benefit, if any, I get from XP 64bit? I am currently running on my 32bit...

What do you mean? I'm getting the VisionTek HD4870 with the Accelero S1 Rev2 for passive cooling. I hear these cards run hot, hot, hot. Is there a better option for graphics at the moment? I do not want to spend $500 on a card if that is what you mean...

I am having some second thoughts about my case. Current: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811112040 I wonder if that Lian Li will have enough space to house bigger cpu heat sink, HD4870, and GPU heat sink? I hate how GPU and heat sinks are getting so large. I want to make sure...

This is a sure point about the quad cores being slow by then. With that in mind how do you think an e8400 does versus a q6600 in terms of encoding video? Will it be a substantial loss in performance losing two cores simply to get a 3.0ghz CPU ala e8400? I plug my mouse in where?

System memory is so dirt cheap. I can not believe this! I feel like I'm skimping out on RAM when I look at the price! G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) - $69.99 I have never used G.SKILL before I have strictly been a Corsair Memory man all my life. Any thoughts on this brand...

The only modular HX series is the 620W but it is a bit more expensive than everything else and 80W less output. Why is this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817139002 What of sound cards? I currently have the 5.1 Z5500 speaker set running on optical connection. It is within my...

I feel like the q6600 is a better value in terms of performance and longevity. When developers begin to harness the extra two cores I'll be happy I own them. I hate this term but I consider it a "future proof" move. I would also like to point out the extra cores will be useful during encoding...

I will get a faster GPU in lieu of being able to upgrade monitors in the future. I hope to be on a 24" at some point. I also do not see the point in going below DDR2-800 when I find the price for 4GB more than agreeable. Any recommendation on heat sinks? I will keep looking into the...

Hello all. My intent of purpose is to build a desktop capable of high end gaming (circa 09/2008) and blazing fast media processing/encoding. I have an $1800MAX budget but would like to see a system for $1500. I intend to recycle my 19" LCD(1280x1024), mouse, and keyboard. All other parts are...
