Hey , This happened to me as well with this monitor. What is the model number ? Mine is the Gateway FPD2185W 21". At this point not a happy camper as thin blue line from the top to the bottom on the left side has now appeared and is not going away.

All, I sent an email to thermalright asking pretty much this same question and they quite helpfully indicated that given the dimensions of the case and the motherboard layout , that the V-1 Ultra would not fit . They even provided a schematic of the cooler to reinforce their...

I have been thinking the same thing. I have the wireless card which is really a PCMCIA card with a PCI adapter then there's the Audigy sound card both are very important. The only option would be to get some kind of external adapter for the network card but I've looked and haven't turned up...

Hi Again, In a desperate bid to further reduce costs can I not use a reservoir ? I have read in these forums that some don't they just use a T junction with a closed tube to act as a filler. Regards, Caspanis

L1ght , Thanks for your feedback so far ! I have one other problem which is caused by my Location (Jamaica W.I.) , I may not be able to get some of the cooling liquids as readily as I'd like :( . You said I could use water (distilled) and anti-freeze , question: Why anti-freeze , I'm in the...

LOL yea. Your opinions on the changes ? Anyone ? Cheers, Caspanis

I figured that it would given the prices I saw on the web. Maybe I need to readjust for now and tackle my chief offender which I think is the GPU. With that I could use 1 radiator and reduce costs it make it simpler given that I'm a first timer. For the GPU block I guess I'll have to use the...

Thanks for the feedback ! The acronyms got me at first (BIP = Black ICE Pro right ?). Again a couple of questions: 1) Is the Danger Den Maze 4 GPU waterblock a single slot solution ? 2) Why two BIP radiators ? And can They be mounted inside the case ? 3) Will the DDC motor fit with the...

Hi, Thanks for the feedback . Yes I think they do , Like This Koolance Product Keep the comments coming ! Cheers, Caspanis

Hi All, I recently built a system using the following : 1) Silverstone TJ-08 MATX tower Case 2) Biostar TForce6100-939 Motherboard 3) XFX 7900GT Extreme Video Card 4) A Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS 5) Belkin Pre-N Desktop Card 6) Seasonic 430 Watt Power Supply My problem is this ...

Blur2u, Thanks a million for the PICS they actually reveal alot and make me that maybe this could actually work ! There are in my mind three issues to consider : 1) Is there enough space below the 7900GT on my motherboard (Biostar TForce6100-939) with the sound card in the very next...

Hi, Devices are : 1) XFX 7900GT PCI-E Video Card 2) Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS 3) Belkin Pre-N Wireless Desktop Card Link = http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=&Section_Id=202570&pcount=&Product_Id=186931 I have listed them in the order that they...

Hi. The problem with the VF900Cu is that the slot immediately below the video card becomes unuseable and in the Tforce I have 2 PCI devices along with the PCI-E video card. Best Regards, Caspanis

Hi All, I have recently acquired the Silverstone Tj08 mATX case and a Biostar TForce6100-939 motherboard. I also have an XFX 7900GT video card which is VERY loud and annoying. I want to quiet and cool this VGA card down and was thinking of the Thermalright V-1 Ultra cooler. My question is...

mlapqw, I am very interested as well , but I have found no reviews on this monitor , in fact I posted about this monitor here : http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=990159 But got no replies :( Does anyone have an opinion ??? Best Regards, Caspanis

Hi All, I need to purchase a decent LCD (19" or higher) for general use and some considerable gaming. After a bad experience with a Viewsonic VP930B , I'm in the market again and saw this monitor (Envision EN-2028 ) and wondered if anyone here had any comments/opinions on this unit. Please...

Not sure which is better all reports I've seen indicate that both are comparable. Tom's Hardware has reviews on both should you need further information. I purchased the VP930 but had to send it back as it had a rather nasty backlight bleeding problem which looked roughly like an "X" shaped...

g33zy, How's the board now , I had a similar problem to yours and had to RMA the thing. I hope when it finally gets back here it works :( Cheers, Caspanis

The differences are: 1) The VP930 has two rear facing support legs in addition to the two at the front. 2) The VP930 uses a different LCD panel (not sure of model AU optronics comes to mind ) 3) Higher advertised contrast ratio on the VP930 -> 1000:1 4) Response times are the same. (I...

josh_1413, Your picture links don't work :( P.S. Anymore pictures , very interested in this monitor after my VP930B fiasco :( Best Regards, Caspanis

All, I couldn't take the pain any more. The lockups , the not posting ............ all of it ! I RMA'd the board , hopefully the one I get back will work :( I just hope and pray that this isn't the beginning of an endless RMA cycle . I gone through one like that before and its a damn...

josh_1413, For all us LCD display junkies out here : 1) Please, Please post some Pictures :) 2) What about backlight bleeding , is there any ? Again pictures required using a blank or totally black screen in dimly lit surroundings 3) What about ghosting and/or blurring in the games you...

See what the web says about this one: http://www.heatsinkfactory.com/Nexus-PHT-7750-Socket-775-Quiet-CPU-Cooler-p-16330.html I've been looking at this one for a while but there are no reviews that I've seen. Maybe you'll have better luck finding some. Personally unless there are a few good...

Can you post any pics of your monitor that clearly shows the problem ? Sorry about your situation that sucks I have one as well and like I'm wondering if I should send it back. Cheers, Caspanis

solo16, Which video card drivers are you now using given the problems with the 81.85's ? P.S. Off-Topic : In the market for a new PS , I'm thinkin' to mix it up a bit so I am playing with two (2) options: 1) The Seasonic S12-500 2) The OCZ Powerstream 520 Cheers, Caspanis

RHollister, Thanks for the words of encouragement, helps alot. Any advice for those not getting BSODs but having POST problems and random freezes ? Does the advice remain the same ? Best Regards, Caspanis

All, I just ran my memory (2x1GB Crucial Ballistix PC4000 ) through 81/2 hours of memtest 3.2 . well now I know its not the memory and I know its not the other components 'cause I have them all running happily on an intel 925XCV system ! The big question now is: WTF is wrong with this mobo...

Moose777, At what exact point of installing did you start getting the BSOD ? The expected sequence of things to do is : 1 Windows XP (Use F6 to load Nvidia RAID drivers) 2. Windows XP SP2 3 Nvidia Chipset drivers 4 Nvidia/Ati video card drivers 5 Other hardware components video card...

Dangfx, Admittedly , I hadn't tried that but it's worth a shot, heck at this point , I'd dance around this rig with pom poms just to get it working ! AppaYipYip, Two questions for you: 1) Was it also stable at stock settings and 2) What are the details of your overclock and your system...

Seriously, I wish there was something that could tell me definitively what the problem is. I'll be doing the full memtest on the memory to make sure they are good . I have to do this on another system though (A nf3 250GB giga-byte board !) . That being said, I have run this setup through...

I wish I could do this but I am unable at this point to get this MOBO to even post :( The fans start spinning but no video output and no beeps to indicate an error of any kind. Now I feel that all is lost. Caspanis

All, Are you serious :eek: I am using a seasonic S12-500 , I would have thought that that would be more than enough. Quite surprising this opinion. But , I have to get a new PS anyway so what do you think of a OCZ powerstream 520 for the rig in my sig ( that rhymes :D) ?? Yep its a crazy...

glinwnc, You could try plugging in you speakers/headphones to the line out jack (lime green in colour) on the back of your PC . In the BIOS you would enable the onboard sound and the ASUS reporter functionality to get it to work. Not sure on the details of speaker sizes and/or impedances...

Moose777, Welcome to the club buddy. :( I am still trying to get this sucker working. I know its not the memory as I tried the sticks (Crucial Ballistix DDR500) in another mobo with an NF3 chipset and it detected it and booted no problem with no hiccups. Also ran memtest on them for about...

Ronbo, 1) I have the Seasonic S12-500 500W power supply : http://www.seasonicusa.com/products.php?lineId=9 2) Is there such a bios for the A8N-SLI premium ? I've seen this for the A8N-SLI deluxe and higher , I think they are up to 1015 by now but 1009 is the highest listed for the A8N-SLI...

I'll try to duplicate what you have posted: 1) I'm running the 1009 bios , 6.70 integrated chipset drivers and 81.85 whql drivers 2) Memory is now set to run at 200Mhz with vdimm=2.8v If you need other details please ask. Best Regards, Caspanis

1) I will try that and report back (reformat). 2) I have aleady updated the BIOS to 1009 final using ASUS update Thanks for the tips ! keep them coming Best Regards, Caspanis

I'm havin' hell over here with this board :mad: I can only get it to post occasionally and when it does I have random freezing once I get into Windows. I've noticed only the following: The system is stable as long as there are no video card drivers installed, the minute these are installed...

I didn't do that , I used nLite to slipstream SP2 and the nvidia drivers into windows XP. What has transpired is that without the nvidia VGA drivers the system (when it does post :mad: ) can do Prime95 for 9-10 hours with no errors !! This is with two Prime95 instances running (1 on each...

Hi All, Sorry to hijack your thread but I am interested in the same thing , particularly when windows is installed on a RAID volume. Wouldn't it be disastrous to remove the current drivers in this scenario to make way for the newer ones ? Please advise. Best Regards, Caspanis
