    Hardware Vendor Lock (AMD PSB)

    https://youtu.be/SX0eYfcPFn4?si=6i9hh_SzLAGFvopd&t=983 I didn't even know that this exists. Is this AMD only or does Intel have it's own equivalent? How do i know if a Vendor uses it or not? Is it mentioned in the specs or do i have to ask? The guy in the video said that Supermicro and HP are...

    Buying/Building a DAW Workstation in 2025 (Workstation vs. Consumer Hardware | AMD vs. Intel | etc.)

    My current DAW Workstation is over 10 years old by now. It's based on a Supermicro Board and paired with a E5-1660v2 CPU with 128gb of ECC Ram. Back at the time when i bought this new the E5-1660v2 was a no brainer offering "outstanding" single thread performance, high clock speed and ideal core...

    Why is my GPU crashing about once a month?

    Interestingly the +12V Reading in HWMonitor is just 10.427V But i suspect that probably is just an inaccurate figure and also not going down under load. The PC is about 10 Years old but i already replaced the PSU a couple years ago with a 500w fanless/passively cooled one from seasonic.

    Why is my GPU crashing about once a month?

    End of last year i upgraded my monitor and because of that i also had to "upgrade" the GPU because the old one was not able to deliver 4k resolution. This is my new GPU (Nvidia Geforce GT 1030)...

    Mitsubishi 2070sb CRT: How to calibrate & is it normal?

    I just took a couple pictures with my iphone. They are not perfect and show a few artifacts that aren't there in reality. (It picked up a bit of invisible flicker) But going by them is this how this monitor is supposed to look or should it be sharper? Pictures have been taken using 1600x1200 @...

    Mitsubishi 2070sb CRT: How to calibrate & is it normal?

    I just used an LCD equipped Laptop from 2008 for the first time after 2 weeks of only CRT. Its a day and night difference in text sharpness. At first you think something must be wrong with the CRT Monitor. But after a couple minutes you get used to it again. :D

    Mitsubishi 2070sb CRT: How to calibrate & is it normal?

    It's about 2 weeks now since i started using this monitor as my main monitor. I really like everything except: This monitor can easily do 2048x1536 @ 85hz but when i use any resolution higher than 1280x960 i have trouble reading the text. Its to small/not sharp enough. I actually have the best...

    Mitsubishi 2070sb CRT: How to calibrate & is it normal?

    There is no daylight but four 100w incandescent light bulbs. So its not as bright as daylight but also not dim. But i'm currently running without super bright mode and the lights somewhat dimmed. There are some cases where i put the super bright mode back on but most of the time i can leave it...

    Well just how much will this shorten the lifespan? I do not want to kill it anytime soon. :D

    Mitsubishi 2070sb CRT: How to calibrate & is it normal?

    SH1 jbltecnicspro Thanks for the clarification. :) I currently run mine in SB (Super Bright) Mode all the time. I'm happy with the picture. Can this harm the monitor long term or will it just "distort" the picture? I'm actually pretty happy with the picture in super bright mode 1 (picture).

    Mitsubishi 2070sb CRT: How to calibrate & is it normal?

    I'm currently using the monitor on a daily basis at home. Does someone know the specs for max. brightness and contrast? I can't find them in the user manual. I just found ballpark information here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_CRT,_LCD,_plasma,_and_OLED_displays and someone...

    Mitsubishi 2070sb CRT: How to calibrate & is it normal?

    I spent some time comparing the Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2070sb (CRT) with my EIZO Flexscan EV2450 (LCD). I compared images, grey scales and even gta vice city. To me they are relatively close, unfortunately i think the eizo is even somewhat better in regards of sharpness and contrast. I'm not a...
