De-overclocking makes it more stable, but not stable. Have unchecked the automatic restart.

Please someone help me! Sometimes it just restarts, no beeping. Sounds like the PSU, doesn't it? But right now it's been working for a couple of hours, so I'm afraid to send it in since they might send it back and say nothing is wrong with the PSU.

Haven't got one that fits... unfortunately. What about the air-duster?

Hey, This is my system: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3,15GHz Sparkle 8800GTX Asus P5W DH Deluxe 2x1048Mb Corsair TWIN2X 6400 DDR2 RAM Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic Logitech X-540 5.1 2x Samsung Spinpoint T133S 400Gb Chieftec Mesh LCX Cooltek PSU 600W ATX 2.2 Samsung Syncmaster TFT 213T...

Have downloaded and scanned, found nothing. Vista Ultimate x86 is the OS.

Intel's Thermal Analysis Tool. Doesn't work so well on 64 bit OS...

Ok I'm not gonna bump anymore but I really need help. Doesn't someone have any idea?

Actually, task manager works fine and I don't see any strange processes. Have checked the startup in msconfig and it looks fine, too.

Someone, please?

You really thinks it's silly? Well, performancy is a big part of compatability and even hinting that a 7xxx card would have roughly equal performance as a 8xxx is crazy. There seems to be some kind of myth going around that there is really no need for a DX10 card since there is no software that...

Oh, I just assumed it was 6.0. Why make a scale where the highest number is too low for the best hardware? Sure, a scale can't be accurate forever, but it should at least not be obsolete by the time of release (like WIE)... just strange! Why not set the scale at max 10.0 and make the best...

Blazestorm, you get 5.9 on the graphics score with a 7950 GT? I get 5.9 with a 8800GTX overclocked! This is crazy, my card pwns yours but we get the same score... and I don't even get 6.0 :P Has anyone gotten 6.0 btw? I get: Processor: 5,7 (E6600 @ 3,15 GHz) Memory: 5,9 (TWIN2X 2048 MB...

Hey, Sorry if I post in the wrong forum but I really need your help. Have posted in a couple of other places but I never did get a response. First off, I run Vista Ultimate on a P5W DH Deluxe + E6600 + 8800GTX + 2GB RAM etc etc. It has worked perfectly until 5 days ago... The 11th of March...

I e-mailed Intel 3 times and never got a reply. I don't think they like foreigners.

Only the BenQ available in Europe... damn you americans have it good ;)

Any recommendations on the 24" widescreen?

Okay, I'm convinced. 1680x1050 is too small... that's just the way it is! I'll just wait for a good 1900x1200 screen... that way, I gain 300 pixels on width and keep the wonderful 1200 pixels of height. Woho! Maybe the Syncmaster 245T? I hear it's gonna be pretty sweet! Now to keep games running...

Yeah, that's what I meant. I did the same calculations. 200 000 pixels is a lot of pixels. Can I just ask you, ScYcS, where do you notice the difference? In windows, in games, watching movies? Do the 80 extra wide pixels do anything for you? EDIT: It's 156 000 pixels.

Okay! Calm down! I don't even know what an emo is (like an animal, right?). Well it's good that you think it's barely noticeable... I hope I think so too. Though ScYcS "couldn't stand the smaller size horizontally"... hmm. I'm just afraid to make the wrong purchase.. anyway, sorry if I...

I would, but I can't... not available in my country and shipping overseas would cost lots of money. I now can't get the idle temp under 58 degrees... It was 53 before... should have stopped trying to fix it! So nobody got a magical solution for me? Oh and the "remove CPU from socket...

Ok, thanks for the info... but is there anyone else who has switched from 1600x1200 to 1680x1050?

God... this talk of panels makes me feel like a noobie again... What panel is the 226BW? What panel will the 245T have? What's overdrive?

No, can't say that I have...

Yeah it's ok, but it's 8 ms... I really like the fact that the 226BW is only 2 ms.

Hey, I've had a Samsung Syncmaster 213T for a couple of years now and it's wonderful but I'm getting a bit tired of the input lag and the 25ms delay, so I'm planning on buying the 226BW (cheap, good response times, good picture). My only problem is that the screen is like 10% smaller because...

Well, I don't live in the states so the retailers are a bit different.

Actually I was in contact with my retailer and they refused to take it back. They said 70 degrees and more was perfectly OK and that I should call back if the CPU started malfunctioning at stock speeds.

Yes! Throttle galore! Everything starts hacking and it gets really weird.

Yeah I know but I was kind of hoping for a malfunctioning Ninja... coolers are cheap, CPU:s are expensive ;)

Dammit! Just put the Ninja on the stove and it heated up on a few seconds! The entire metal construction was hot (and I've never felt it getting so hot before, especially not the metal fins) and I now realize this is how the Ninja is supposed to feel when my CPU is 80 degrees. So...

Lots of good feedback! Yes, yes! Sorry if I was unclear; DeadlyAura: yes I have run unlapped IHS on unlapped Ninja, default configuration, same problem. I have run basically all configurations imaginable and still the same problem. Maybe you think I messed up the C2D or the Ninja while lapping -...

With the stock cooler: @2,4 GHz 40 idle, 53 full load (cooler than the ninja) @3,15 Ghz 61 idle, 82 full loaf Now the big question - are these normal temperatures?

Thanks for all replies, and extra thanks to BillParish! I really appriciate the help. I know it's a tough problem but I've been posting on countless boards and the replies are mostly the same: "You have airflow issues, you are not mounting properly, the IHS is concave, you are applying...

Yes it has been ruled out. I can't RMA the CPU because it is lapped.

BillParish, that may be something... the heatpipes malfunctioning on the Ninja. That's the only thing I haven't tested, but it's not impossible. When I feel the bottom plate it's kind of hot, though the big part of the Ninja, with the fins and all, is very cool. To maybe the copper pipes haven't...

The mainbord is around 38 degrees constant. The MB temp sensors don't seem to be off, as I've seen the CPU throttle at around 84 which is kind of normal. And I have reapplied AS5, brand new, around 20 times. Even tried a different tube of AS5. And as I said, I already tried going back to the...

As I said, the IHS is lapped and no longer concave. The cooler does not become hot, not even at full load. And of course, I also understand that there is something wrong with the heat transfer. That knowledge hasn't helped my temperatures. So, to add to the list: * Is it not an airflow issue...

A concave *chip*?

Hey, I've written here before but things don't get better and at full load my CPU begins throttling because it's like over 80-82 degrees with TAT @ 3,15 GHz. I have a E6600 with a Scythe Ninja. * I've remounted 27 times * I've applied AS5 in 10 different ways * I've grinded down parts of...

So... no new 4:3 screens (preferably 20-22 inch 1600x1200) with good response times and nice picture quality under development? Just loads of new widescreens?
