    1TB Desktop Hybrid Drive

    I'm looking to buy a 1tb desktop (3.5") hybrid drive from seagate ( http://www.seagate.com/internal-hard-drives/solid-state-hybrid/desktop-solid-state-hybrid-drive/ ) However, I can't find any place that actually sells this drive. Is it not out for wide release yet? I prefer this over the...

    MSI Cyclone GTX 460 dying?

    I've tried Skyrim, Arkham City, and The Witcher 2. All used to run fine, but now have extremely low fps. I didn't change the settings at all for any of these games. I've noticed that even though I set my max core to 800mhz and max shader to 1600mhz, my card doesnt even get close to those...

    MSI Cyclone GTX 460 dying?

    Ok I set it to performance and GPU-Z tells me that my PCI-Ex16 is running at x16. The core clock doesn't change from 400mhz at all when I am in game still. Any other suggestions?

    MSI Cyclone GTX 460 dying?

    To set it to performance do I turn off Link State Power Management for PCI Express? I don't see anythign else that allows me to adjust the video card performance. As for clock speeds, it stays at 400mhz even while I'm in game

    MSI Cyclone GTX 460 dying?

    I'm not sure what the issue with my card is, but games that used to run at 60fps and above now have trouble hitting 30fps. I also notice that my card used to idle at 41C on average and would increase to about 49C in game, but now idles at 36C and doesn't change when I go in game. Is my card...

    Asus GTX460 1GB Overclocked Edition With DirectCU Cooler $210

    I ordered two and contacted them. No "sorry money", just a bland response and them telling me they hope that I purchase from them again. Not happening.

    Asus GTX460 1GB Overclocked Edition With DirectCU Cooler $210

    I just can't believe that they can lower it to 175 twice and call it a price order and won't even ship my original order for a price of 210. Just strung me along for two months. Really hope a good deal elsewhere comes along, gotta upgrade my 8800GT!

    Asus GTX460 1GB Overclocked Edition With DirectCU Cooler $210

    Amazon just cancelled my order saying it was a price error. Even though I've been waiting for two months. Knew there going to do that.

    Asus GTX460 1GB Overclocked Edition With DirectCU Cooler $210

    I just have a bad feeling that amazon is going to indefinitely delay orders until everyone cancels. I ordered on August 8th and so far have had two delays. Can't say I'm looking forward to a third one.

    Asus GTX460 1GB Overclocked Edition With DirectCU Cooler $210

    I ordered mine August 8th....The shipping date has been updated twice. The estimate is now Oct 1-20. If any other good deals pop up I plan on canceling in an instant. Ridiculous to wait two months.

    Very strange q6600 temps

    Room is at..well room temperature. But I was looking to overclock slightly, and see that intel rates this cpu for a max temperature limit of 62.2C. What's the max limit most people use? Also I don't know what temperature my case it at. Reason I'm concerned is that my main rig which uses a...

    Very strange q6600 temps

    I have a q6600 at stock speeds with a Zalman CNPS9500, eVGA 8800GT, ASUS pk5-e mobo, 4 1gb sticks of kingston ram, all in a thermaltake armor+ vh6000 case. When I'm just chatting and using the internet my core temps average 43C and my gpu temp is 55C. This seems a little high especially since...

    HP LP2475w Scanning

    I have DVI-1 set to my default connection, but whenever I turn my monitor on it still scans through all the other connectivity options. How I can I set it so that it only scans my default connection and turns on right away?

    High 8800GT Temps

    I have an EVGA 8800GT 512mb video card. When idling on the TF2 main screen, my 8800GT core temps go up to a staggering 105C. It idles at about 80C. I set the Fan to stay at 60% max rpm as any higher and the noise becomes intolerable. When I first got my comp the card would idle at around 55C...

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    If anyone is thinking of getting this monitor still, order from Buy on Ebay. You can use bing cashback to save an additional 8% on the monitor. I received it within 3 days of ordering and its rev 153 gig 72 or something like that, manufactured june 2009. No defects that I could tell. Also...

    Dual Background with nView

    Makes sense. But I'd still like to figure out how to do it with nView as I'd want to easily change one background and not the other without going through the hassle of making a new image each time. Thanks, for the help though Washuu, if nobody else knows how to fix it I guess I'll just do it...

    Dual Background with nView

    I have an HP LP2475w in front of me and a very old Princeton LCD19D sitting to the left of it. They are setup using dual view. The one in the front of me is my primary monitor, the one to the left is the secondary. My video card is a 8800GT. Now, my problem is with the separate backgrounds per...

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    I bought mine from an ebay seller for 515 before coupon discounts.....this was 3.5 weeks ago. He just shipped it 3 days ago, so be wary if you order from ebay and want it in a timely fashion!

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    That's an awesome price for two of these monitors. Never really seen it that cheap, even with multiple promos.

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    Yea, I just realized by adblock was preventing me from seeing it. Silly me. Anyone have a promo code that works for ebay? I found one that worked but once I click continue to paypal it doesn't work and when I try to reenter it, it fails.

    Thanks jaypeezee, I'm gonna get a Sealed HP Factory Remarketed from ebay and its nice to know that if there are any problems I can exchange it. Can't wait!

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    Yea, but with ebay i can get an 8-13% discount right now, that's why I want to order through there instead of Amazon. The monitor comes out to be really cheap, I just want to know if I can do hassle free trading directly with HP in case I need it.
  33. G

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    If I order this from Ebay or also from Ebay and the unit has some defects, will I still be able to trade it in with HP at no hassle? Or would I have to directly contact the seller?

    Nvidia Control Panel

    Is there a point to adjusting the video color,video image, and desktop image settings in the Nvidia Control Panel when calibrating a monitor? I never see it mentioned in any threads. What's the purpose of Nvidia providing these adjustments if they aren't needed?

    HP LP2475w pricing

    Yea I read about the wide gamut, and I for sure can't afford calibration hardware so I will try to optimize my best by eye. But there aren't any better monitors in this price range right? All the others I've looked at have bigger flaws.

    HP LP2475w pricing

    Bump. Anyone know where else I can check for the pricing of this monitor and the cheapest its sold for? I want to wait a month or so to see if any deals pop up.

    HP LP2475w pricing

    I have a maximum of 500 dollars to spend on a monitor and the HP LP2475w seems to be the best one for what I do (mainly watch movies/tv with gaming on the side). It's listed on Amazon as selling for $555. What's the cheapest this monitor has been sold for and are there any other places I can...

    DFI Decision

    Just go for the LT, the transpiper heatsink on the UT is pretty much useless and both mobos seem to run a tad hot, though safe, at around 50C for PWM and 48C for the Chipset. I just bought 2 scythe mini kazes for 8 bucks total and zip tied them to the PWM and northbridge heatsinks on my LT and...
