The greenish tinge was there before the adjustment and afterwards. I did another WPB yesterday and got rid of the green tinge by using IRE 0 for the Cutoff Max adjustment, it seems like that may have been the setting you were pointing out. I had been using the 1 target on the HCFR near black...

Yes, I used a Xrite Colourmunki Display. I used HCFRs 1% and 2% moving black bars for the first G2 adjustment, I drop G2 until I can't see the 1% and can just barely make out the 2% bar. I'm not sure what the other G2 adjustment you are referring to is?

jka I spent several hours today going through two separate WPB procedures for my F520, both in which I had no problems meeting the targets during the calibration process and both after finalizing are plagued with a hazy strongly green tinged picture and noticeably blurry OSD afterwards. In the...

9600GT and GTX460

Crucial, Intel, OCZ

balls to that article

I wonder what the performance difference will be between 850/1ghz core on a 460. Also will it be as quiet as the Cyclone?

Hoping this squeezes out a bit more performance from my 9600gt in BFBC2.

I'm still waiting for the £100 card that runs Crysis at 1680x1050 on very high settings with 4x aa/af at 30fps minimum. Will probably be sticking with my 9600gt until then, unless Starcraft 2/Diablo 3 are released and force me to upgrade to run them smoothly at max settings. I suppose its more...

Am I the only one who thinks that the 8800 series has now surpassed the 9800pro in terms of longevity? (aka legendary card status :D)

mine does the same thing, i think they all do it.

I'm looking forward to widespread USB 3.0 adoption more than any other technology in 2010. I really hope they will release cheap PCI or PCI-E USB 3.0 expansion cards for people who don't intend to upgrade their whole system just for USB 3.0. For me USB 3.0 will mean incredibly faster system...

Made me put my mx518 next to my ear to see if i could hear any noise, i can and now i can't help but notice it.

Gentle typhoon, S-Flex, 38mm Yate Loons. Keep them below 1600rpm for best airflow:noise.

Just run it at 1066mhz. If it doesn't boot all you'll have to do is take the new sticks out and reset bios.

Never heard of vdroop effecting voltage settings besides vcore. I'd also be interested in a definitive answer though.

Probably will work fine at stock, unless you have a mobo that doesn't like having 4 slots occupied. If your ram is overclocked atm you might find the new sticks hold you back, http://ramlist.i4memory.com/ddr2/ revisions overclock differently. For instance I have corsair dominator 8500c5ds too...

Temp monitoring and stress testing are essential to overclocking. Your idea about getting "a lower end processor that doesn't get as hot" and overclocking it makes little sense, since to overclock further than where you are atm would result in higher temps and probably lower performance - when...

In the UK, hoping I can still get it though.

The 8800gtx was followed by two bad turnouts from Ati in the 2000/3000 series, then met by the 4000 which competed on the same level as it. To me this seems to be the reason that most people hold the 8800gtx in such high regard. If Nvidia don't make a worthy come back to the 5870 for another two...

It would be nice to see cpu/gpu/dedicated physx gpu load % graphs during gameplay. I really wasn't impressed by the physics effects in those videos and would agree with ElMolsEviL in that I think that most of the effects (with the exception of perhaps steam) could and should have been produced...

I went ahead and flashed my card with all the fan speed's in nibitor set to 35%, succesfully flashed but hasn't changed the fan speed at all on boot.

yeah i wish my damn gpu fan would stay quiet on boot too, looked at flashing the bios to something else but can't find definate information that it will work.

Reseat the heatsink, rip off the silenx fan and swap it out for a 120x38mm Yate Loon.

IntelBurnTest v2.0 Released IntelBurnTest is a CPU stress benchmark for testing stability of your x86/x64 processor. The new benchmark is said to be extremely processor intensive, so much in fact that it can load your CPU 22'C more than the well known Prime95 benchmark? Keep in mind to use this...

http://www.custompc.co.uk/labs/605450/fan-controllers/products.html A recent fan controller roundup. I've got two kama meters but I'd swap their readouts for the extra front bay space I'd get from having all my fans plugged into a MFC-1.

Seemed to me that since Palit had stopped using the Xpertvision name, at least in the UK they had been releasing cards that were a cut better than most. I'm actually surpised that they're closing, especially since I only managed to get my 9600gt Sonic after two rounds of restocks being eaten up...

i want to see a chicken leg thrown at the 11k rpm papst

I wonder if ram drives have overclocking utilities and if a clockspeed increase between 800 and 1066mhz is more noticeable in that scenario.

If you're handy with a dremel you can add another 140mm to the top and bottom of the 300, add a couple holes for routing cables and you'll end up with equal if not better airflow than the 690 and better overall build quality case for about half the price. Closing the right case door of the...

Maybe the YL bastardization is moving onto Scythe and Noctua. I'd almost welcome it so knock offs become such a problem that every retailer deals directly with the manufacturers, ultimately so that I can be sure that my cheap YLs will still be real YLs :D

I don't know about the M12-P but out of the Scythes I'd go for either the 1200 or 1600rpm models. 1200rpm would be the better for low noise if you aren't going to undervolt, 1600rpm would give you headroom for reducing temps and the option of undervolting to low noise as well.

Never thought about a flash/floppy bootable stability checker, that would really save some mouseclicks and add convenience if you could just leave bios to bootup first from flash/floppy when you want to check your ocs. Could save the settings (amount of runs, test intensity) you want it to use...

So you're saying during P95 your voltage actually rises to 1.44-1.47/1.47-1.5? That explains why your temps are so high. Probably best to remove and reapply the pencil mod.

Are you sure you measured both under the same load? In terms of temps though I'd say 80c is about right for 1.4v with an average aircooling setup, what intake/exhaust fans do you have running? I agree with dwell that your pre-pencil modded board probably drooped alot more than 0.02v, thats...

I bought a 2B pencil to correct the idle vdrop of 0.046 on my Asus Commando. However I'm having second thoughts after having read (but not really understood) an article about vdrop. Theres quite alot of information to digest and I'm looking for someone to tell me whats what, and hopefully...
