    Blacklight bleed

    Oh well, guess I'll have to live with it. I'm pretty sure the problem could be fixed by potting the suspicious component (probably a transformer) in some kind of epoxy. But considering today's trends of cutting the production costs down as much as possible, it's no surprise they didn't do...

    Blacklight bleed

    "Just audible" over the background noise from PC. So is this normal? It happens only with some brightness values, I can make it completely go away with certain settings, but of course this is too limiting...

    Blacklight bleed

    hmm, I just noticed my panel emits a soft continouos beep... Not annying but 'just' audible from normal viewing distance. The weird thing is that upping the brightness gets rid of the sound. Probably coming off the CFL inverter.

    Ok, cool, thx;) Fortunately mine has 0 dead pixels (or I haven't noticed them so far).

    Blacklight bleed

    Hey all, I just got this new 19" Philips monitor. Nothing expensive, but I haven't noticed any flaws except some backlight bleeding. I'm concerned only about the bleed at the top. I just want your confirmation that this is normal :) Note this was photoed at low light, the area in the middle...

    PSU fan replacement

    The fan in my Fortron PSU has recently started making a constant beep sound. Probably some resonance with the metal casing as holding a finger on the case changes the sound. I'l have to desolder the original fan so I'll probably lose warranty but I don't care as it wasn't anything xpensive...

    GPU fan speed Help

    Ok, thanks, I just tortued it again, oc'd to 700mhz core and I think it didnt even hit 80C (reached a constant 79C). Just a last question, the cooler doesnt have memory sinks, do you think its a bad idea to OC the mems? There is not much place at all to fit any mem sinks (5mm at most)...

    I just ran FurMark and when the core hit 77C I turned it off :rolleyes: I think it would reach 80C after some time. I read about people running this card @90C core, is 80C really that bad? How hot do these cards run with the reference cooler?

    8800GT buzz

    My Asus 8800GT gpu (@ http://www.finalsense.com/hardware/asus_en8800gt.htm ) emits a buzzing noise which seems to be related to FPS. In loading or menu screens where the fps is very high it will emit easily audible squeek, in the actual game it gets away with silent buzz. The weird thing is...

    GPU fan speed Help

    thanx, it is now going to max. 73C, but in hot summer the room temps can get to 30C in which case it would run at around 82C.

    What would be safe cpu temp for this card? P.S. "I can't see any temps in Hardware monitoring", well I can but it shows zero all the time. Edit: I just got it woking, cool.

    GPU fan speed Help

    SO when its cooling so violently (:p), I might give it a overclock to justify the fan speed:rolleyes: I downloaded the G92 RivaTuner core temp utility but I can't see any temps in Hardware monitoring. How does it work?

    GPU fan speed Help

    Yes thats exactly what I have, I got this version as I thought it would cool better (well it probably does) and with silence (its not very loud, BUT is the loudest component of my PC:mad:).

    GPU fan speed Help

    I see only "Overclocking", "Compatibility" and "Overlay" tabs. Maybe I didnt install some drivers, I have just the Nvidia graphics drivers, maybe I need to install some utilities from the cd which came with the card (Asus)? I think there was something like VGA doctor but that did only display...
