    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    My monitor from newegg arrived today. (ordered last Tuesday) No firmware update. Manufactured in October. Shipped from New Jersey. I've used a CRT my whole life (32 year old professional programmer/sysadmin) and I can honestly say that this is as good as a CRT. I'm certainly no...

    yeah, but this guy claiming to have received the 1:1 update is the reason a few of us went ahead and bought it, and none of us (so far - mine comes today) have received it with the update from either the california or new jersey warehouse. So perhaps he is not entirely in touch with reality.

    Sorry to hear that balz. And spoonie_g got his without 1:1 update from new jersey. So either the guy who claimed to get one with 1:1 update was lying or newegg doesn't use a FIFO queue for their products and shipped him a newer one even though they had older ones.

    There is no rule that you have to set your PC to 1920x1200 resolution. Run it at 960x600 and the monitor will scale it up to fill the screen. There'll be a hit in quality, but if your card can't handle 1920x1200 then this is probably a better solution. p.s. They finally issued a tracking...

    MSI P965 Platinum

    I don't see any threads dedicated to this nice board. I've built a great system around it dual booting windows xp pro and debian. I love the huge number of sata and usb sockets on the ICH8R southbridge. And that "d-bracket" with the extra usb ports and the 4 red/green LEDs to indicate each step...

    newegg must not like my address for some reason. I ordered shortly before you but all I get today is an e-mail saying, "This email is to inform you that upon further verification, your bill-to and ship-to addresses have been approved." and the status is "GOOD - Your Ship To address has been...

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    I don't think your state matters so much. That order for my new PC parts I mentioned consisted of 4 different shipments from 3 different warehouses: California, Memphis, and New Jersey. The shipment from New Jersey came last, even though I am in Miami. I'll certainly keep the thread informed...

    Whee, :D so some shipping from newegg with firmware update in the US, finally. Ordering now... and done. Perhaps a bit premature since they have multiple warehouses, but I feel lucky. Hopefully they can improve upon my last dismal 3-day shipping which took from Dec 29th until January 9th for...

    overclocking a e6300 questions

    That's what the MSI manual calls the expansion slot bracket that has two usb ports and 4 LEDs. It has two wired plugs that go in the motherboard; one for the usb and the other goes in a plug at the edge of the board between the sata plugs and the atx power plug. These 4 lights symbolize 4...

    overclocking a e6300 questions

    Actually I got a rounding error with orthos at 375. So now I am trying 366. Maybe I should make a MSI P965 Platinum thread. I don't see a single one listed on the conroe overclock db.

    temp difference between cores

    TAT and Core Temp both show a 2 to 4 degree fluctuating difference between core 0 and core 1. Is this normal? (47C and 43C idle. 62C and 58C right now after running orthos a while according to TAT and 62C and 60C according to core temp)

    overclocking a e6300 questions

    I missed one question. No the voltage is not increased automatically. But I am running at 375Mhz now with no voltage increase using your same processor and motherboard. Your mileage may vary. :D

    overclocking a e6300 questions

    Well, my attempt to jump to 400 failed miserably, but hopefuly you will have better luck. :) TAT is the Intel Thermal Analysis Tool http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/392 TAT has a method for stressing cpu (by applying 100% workload to both cores) orthos is another common stress...

    overclocking a e6300 questions

    Success at 350Mhz and 375Mhz, but failure at 388even after bumping up voltage. By failure I mean it POSTs but crashes upon windows xp loading. (same at 400 or 401) My core temps are around 60C running orthos small FFTs and almost reach 70c if I use iTAT's 2x100% workload. I just tried a bunch...
