    Samsung P2350 buzzing noise

    I've had this monitor for several months now and it has been working great (also looks great). However, recently I've noticed that whenever I turn on the monitor, there's a buzzing sound. It pretty much sounds like crickets on a hot day, but it's not that loud. I can only hear from a small...

    MSI P67A-G45 Active Phase noise

    I just put together a computer for someone else, everything works fine. However, there is one problem. I notice on the MSI board that there's a high pitched sound and it seems to be coming from the active phase switching part of the board. I know it's them because each time the leds flash, the...

    Artifacts after sleep mode?

    Wow man, sorry you had to go through all that, I had the thought to RMA the card as well. However, since I did a cold boot, everything worked fine, so there had to be something else. There's a couple of people in the first thread say it happened after they took their computer off from sleep...

    Artifacts after sleep mode?

    bump, well after leaving it on all night without sleep mode, everything is working fine so far, even playing games. Is it possible this is Sleep Mode bug? Could there be a conflict with this and the latest nvidia drivers?

    Artifacts after sleep mode?

    For two weeks now I have an MSI GTX 560 Ti running in my computer. I usually leave it on all night while it's at idle, i don't think there's much harm in that. However, I've just decided to adjust the options to put my computer in sleep mode to save power. When I got back home from work...

    Safe Motherboard temp?

    Safe Motherboard temp?

    @ Warzone, what I mean by baby steps, is overclocking the speed in the method that you've mentioned. "and don't go from 2.8ghz to say 3.6ghz, go from 2.8~2.9 check\2.9~3.0 check\3.0~3.1 check" Sorry I wasn't being specific. All I want to know is since my mobo for now reads 56C to 58C, is it...

    Safe Motherboard temp?

    Thanks everyone for assuring me that I'm fine. Before I'm done with this thread, I would like to ask. If my temps are fine, is it ok to increase the voltage a bit for some overclocking? Or do you suggest I get a heatsink for the chipset? I don't plan to do a huge overclock to say...4.0ghz with...

    Safe Motherboard temp?

    @ havokator True, sorry about that, thanks. @ WarZone Thanks for the tip, but I'm already aware of the baby steps :) I have my HS fan going at 50% and so far my CPU has reached a max of 45C while playing games, I'm sure I'm ok for overclocking the i5. @ Xeth Does that mean it's the...

    Safe Motherboard temp?

    But that's the thing though, you have a high overclock while i don't. If I bump up my i5 760 from 2.8ghz to say 3.6ghz, will I see a large increase by say, 20C? I have CM Hyper 212+ as my CPU HSF if that says anything.

    Safe Motherboard temp?

    I'm trying to do all my research before overclocking for the first time. Right now I have an MSI P55A-G55. I'm very happy with it and it has ran flawlessly. Now regarding temperature, I'm using H/W Monitor and from what I've read on the net, TMPIN0, 1 and 2 are connected to the motherboard. I...

    What should I do with rectangular grill in Antec Sonata II?

    Well, the thing is I have two dogs and they shed a lot of hair. Even if they don't come into my room a lot, my socks still grabs their hair and since my PC in on the bottom, hair will travel inside through the back added with dust. I'm not going to make a major mod or anything, I just want to...

    What should I do with rectangular grill in Antec Sonata II?

    Alright, dust filter it is then, thanks. The reason the grill is there is because there was an air duct that took up a lot of room. The only reason I removed it however, is because the CPU cooler is too big for the duct to fit. Yes, the open grill does bother me because when I looked back in...
