    Installed WC For The First Time, Need Help Making It Better Then The Air It Replaced

    Hmm, you must have had one of the first batches of Apogee GTs. According to the Apogee tweaking guide http://www.swiftnets.com/products/apogee-tweaking.asp, some early shipments left out the bigger o-ring, but Swiftech will send you one for free. It might be worth trying it, just to see if it...

    Installed WC For The First Time, Need Help Making It Better Then The Air It Replaced

    I see you are using an Apogee GT. Which O-ring are you using? The fatter o-ring bows the base, which might be causing the problem of all the TIM being pushed to the sides. Also, do be careful about overtightening the GT, as there have been instances of people destroying the base of the block...

    Have you tried WC with fans off

    An even better idea is to have it execute this little freeware program called "SuperFast Shutdown" (http://www.xp-smoker.com/freeware.html). It will power off the PC virtually instantly.

    Question for those with a TT MozartTx

    Thanks zipdrive, thats exactly what I was hoping for. 28 1/4 inches = 717 mm including the feet, so without them I should just make it. Thanks again for your help, and I'll get on and order this thing!

    Question for those with a TT MozartTx

    Good idea! Unfortunately the desk is just one of those cheepo Ikea ones, not a nice hardwood one, but I am sure I could get 1cm out of some sort of pad or feet. Maybe even really small casters would do the trick, if I can find them narrow enough. Of course, I would love to be able to save...

    Question for those with a TT MozartTx

    I am building a new machine and I desperately want a MozartTx, but I have a slight concern with the height. The only place I have for it is under my desk, which is exactly 710mm off the ground. According to the MozartTx specs, the height of the case is 720mm. Now here is the question - the...

    Post Your 2405FPW RGB, Brightness, & Contrast Settings Here

    It doesnt really matter. The term "hardware whitepoint" is simply a description of the current whitepoint of the monitor. It does not change anything on the display. What it does instead is make a point of reference for the "adjusted whitepoint", so it knows what amount of correction to make...

    Unofficial 2405FPW Thread (Now that its been announced)

    Just as a warning, be VERY careful in that menu, especially the "reset defaults" choice that is within the factory menu. I accidentally hit that, and it reset all the default color presets to numbers that were NOT what it came like when I got the monitor. Luckily, I had written down the...

    eye strain from 2405?

    Sounds like you have a defective panel there boss. The black levels on mine are incredibly black (far and away the darkest of any LCD I have ever used), and darker than my very good quality CRT sitting right next to it in all lighting conditions other than when the lights are completely off...

    eye strain from 2405?

    I can't say that I have had any eyestrain at all with it. In fact, I find it much more comfortable to view that any other monitor i've owned. The only thing I can think of is maybe the native resolution is too small for your eyes...

    The listed "hardware whitepoint" is the whitepoint as listed in the profile you are using, unless you you use the measurement tool which is pretty innaccurate. It probably lists the whitepoint as 5000K because you are using the wrong profile. In terms of the changes you see, this is where it...

    This 82" display the one you REALLY WANT !

    I think they are counting the red, green and blue subpixels in that number, so 1920x1080 = 2,073,600 pixels * 3 subpixels = 6,220,800 subpixels

    As I said, I used Adobe Gamma, which is a software gamma calibrator that works by creating an ICC profile for the monitor. It is a purely visual method of calibration, but is can be reasonably accurate with the right test patterns. It doesnt give me numbers to use as such, but it only took my...

    I did a very nice calibration of the colors using Adobe Gamma and the test pattern at the following site: http://www.photoscientia.co.uk/Gamma.htm

    Post your Dell 2405FPW Review here!

    As of yet I have not noticed any of these problems. The desktop settings seem to revert back just fine after gaming (are you saving the settings with a name? Maybe thats the difference). That said though I have only used the ATI "color" settings for a day or so, and I don't plan on using the...
