I'd love to see a chart showing this display's scaling refresh rates vs resolution. If at SOME resolution it can do 120Hz (presumably 1920x1080), then perhaps at 2560x1440 it can do 60Hz. That would be a great buy still to get a 3-4MP 39" monitor for $700 that can game at high res at the same...

All really good info and my bad for making a new thread b/f searching. So, the big one is that sucks for gaming b/c of the 30hz refresh. The reality is the resolution would likely be dropped down anyway since the list of cards than can push 8 MP at >30fps in any recent game is probably small...

So...what's the catch? It seems too good to be true so I think I'm missing a key specification here... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8430969&srkey=S874-3905 39" display 3 HDMI, USB, VGA 3840x2160 native resolution (!) 113 DPI (compared to...

Subject says it, mostly. I've got a PC built and hooked up to an Onkyo SR707 via combination DVI-to-HDMI and TOSLink. Sound from the PC comes through as expect for basic Windows operations, music, etc. The audio is coming from the on-board RealTek digital audio output via optical port...

Strange. You seem to have understood my question and replied to it just fine with the information I provided. Here's a comparison with a Corsair M4 in a different machine: Amazing the difference. In my ignorance, I presumed to think that an SSD would be significantly faster than a...

I was clearly not talking about the sequential read speeds :) It was the 5-7 MBps transfer rates between partitions that got my attention...and yes that's between USB 1.1 (1.5MBps) and USB 2.0 (~20MBps) speeds.

Yeah I'm realizing now this is a problem with the particular flavor of poo that Asus packaged in this ultrabook. Still, I have a hard time understanding the real-life speeds. In what world does transferring between two partitions on the SAME DEVICE result in <10MBps speeds? No modern...

Really.....really bad. AS-SSD Results In IOPS The access times are shockingly bad too. .475 and .940 ms are good compared to mechanical, but modern SSDs are producing times like .03 to .1 ms access times. This is 400-900% slower.

I'm worried about the fact that these numbers are slower than anything I've seen shy of a USB 1.1 device from 10+ years ago and wondering if this is a symptom of an impending drive failure. It's not just synthetic. As I said...copying a block of data files from one partition to the other...

I'm running on an ultrabook: the Asus UX31. The drive in question is the SanDisk SSD U100 256GB. I've heard some reports of sluggish performance in cases, but after running CrystalDiskMark on it, I'm concerned it actually might be failing. I have the drive partitioned into a C and D...

http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-PA3927U-1PRP-Dynadock-Universal-Connect/dp/B006ZGWJU2/ref=pd_sim_pc_1 Looks like a nice alternative to the one I just linked.

http://www.amazon.com/Targus-SuperSpeed-Docking-Station-ACP70USZ/dp/B005YR1PV2 I'd hope the bump to USB 3.0 might alleviate bandwidth issues I'd expect to see supporting multiple WUXGA displays over a USB connection... Thoughts?

Here's what I've got: Asus UX31 24" Ultrasharp Dell Display USB keyboard, wireless mouse, etc What I want to do is add another external monitor (another 24" US) to expand my workspace and cut down on the amount of plugging and plugging I'm doing. The UX31 comes with zero docking...

Have any of you guys picked up a power meter? I'm talking about one of those plug-in units that will tell you how much power you're drawing? Any recommendations?

Alright, so it's not really "mobile", but that's the hardware I'm looking at. Here's the scenario: Run an intensive multi-threaded application in a very confined space with a power budget of ~50Watts or less. So, in trying to find this sweet spot of low power high performance hardware...

I'd vote against Gigabyte. I picked up a 560 Ti SOC and have had NOTHING but trouble. It fails not only to run at the clock speed they advertised and sold me, but it won't run at stock speed of a 560 Ti either. The issue appears to be memory-related as I have to downclock my video card...

The only other option I can think of it to rely on the backup. Wipe the RAID and rebuild is as JBOD and run disk utilities on each drive... Does that sound sane?

The hot spare? I've got 3 drives engaged making up the RAID5. There is no hot spare. The software shows the 3 drives as ID 2, 3, and 4 on Channel 1. All three are marked yellow and the RAID group is classified as "reduced". So yeah, I guess it indicates by "port number" but since...

I've worked with enterprise data storage systems that have LED indicators for bad/failing drives...but this Rosewill unit does not(or if it does it's not working): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816132015&cm_re=Rosewill_5_bay-_-16-132-015-_-Product The SATARAID5...

Thanks, that's kind of in line with my thinking. Since my OP I've discovered that my FiOS router doesn't do GigE. Frustrating. I picked up 250' of Cat6 and a Cisco Linksys WRT160N. My plan is to run the Cat6 from the FiOS router to the WRT160N on the other side of the house. It won't be...

Hey I appreciate wireless as much as the next guy, but across my house the wireless signal drops pretty quickly. By the time it gets to the other side (and it is the exact opposite corner) of the house, the signal has dropped and streaming HD content (5, 10, sometimes 20 Mbps video streams)...

Enjoy your power bill.

Hm. I think I wasn't very clear in my explanation. Basically, I want GigE in my house for machine to machine transfers and media serving. The FiOS router may or may not do that with it's Ethernet controller (might be 10/100), but for the sake of the above I'm assuming it will. I want to get...

So I'm one of the lucky few with a 25Mbps FiOS connection at home. I'm looking to expand the network through the house... What makes the situation perhaps a bit unorthodox is that I'd like to actually avoid using the wireless to expand the network. Is it insane to do this? Wireless...

I've got to build out a processing rack and for specific reasons I need these servers to be able to support dual 1600x1200 displays. The Dell R610 is my server of choice, but the riser card only supports a PCIe x8 slot. 1) does anyone know if x16 slots will fit in these slots? (i.e., are...

I don't know if anyone is still interested in my little saga here, but at the risk of influencing someone's opinion of the Xigmatek Dark Knight cooler or the i7 920, I thought it worth mentioning: the curing time of the Arctic Silver seems to have set in. Ripping a BluRay (yes, one I actually...

It was supposed to be this year and got a big announcement a couple months ago...but no release dates that I've seen. I'm looking to rebuild my server farm at work :P

Priming right now (about 20 minutes in). I hope I get a couple C better as the TIM "cures", but we are where we are: 3.6 Ghz 1440 DRAM clock (couldn't seem to get it stable at 1600, not good for the 1600 rated 7-7-7-24 OCZ... 1.32v Core Auto on PLL 1.35v on QPI 1.66v on DRAM Bus Auto on Load...

Okay, for interested parties: I got the Xigmatek today when I got home from work and installed it this evening. The result: My prime95 load temp went from 83C stock temp to 67C. A 16C drop. Not bad. I'm going to try to overclock now and see what can be done with those 16 degrees:)

Anyone seen an updated release date on this processor? Press release on Dell servers shipping with it?

I always heard it was "pea" sized...which is significantly more than a grain of rice.

Picked up Xigmatek Dark Knight for $36 on sale at Newegg. I'll post again once I get it installed, probably this weekend. Thanks again all on your help thus far.

Here's another random factoid to muddy the waters: I have a Koolance EXOS in my storage room from a couple rigs ago. Anyone think an original EXOS could handle the heat dissipation of the Sun- I mean i7 ? Otherwise, I'll just go nab one of these air coolers. Not sure there's much point to...

CCF? Not familiar with that one... I was thinking Xigmatek Dark Knight. It's $40 or so and people are claiming 25C drops from stock HSF during Prime95 loading. USMC, I haven't forgotten your recommendations. I'm going to test them when I get home from work today. [edit: reading newegg...

Thanks for all the feedback. Sounds like maybe multiple problems. As for the PSU, I'm somewhat surprised it would be an issue. The power calculators I've used show me way under budget on draw and the 2 20A 12v rails should be sufficient. Perhaps it is the problem, though. I've never fully...

Gathered the stones to Prime95 it. Hit 90C on core0 inside of 30 seconds and I shut off the test. Does the stock HSF really suck this hard? I've remounted it 3 times....

You've been a huge help, so the least I can do is share what I've got :) Here's my current configuration running 3.6 Ghz. I can't get excited because I haven't tried prime yet. Not in the mood for another BSOD :rolleyes:

Ugh, 1 step forward and 2 steps back. 1) Loaded profile from the other day with 3.6 Ghz OC and high temps. Today, it won't even boot. I jacked my CPU voltage to 1.35 and QPI to 1.4 and nothing. 2) AS II didn't help one bit over the stock thermal pad. I'm glad I borrowed this stuff from...
