No it works fine when the image is oriented in Landscape mode and the monitor is rotated 90 degrees to portrait mode. So it's not the viewing angle or anything like that. It's purely a software thing. When the monitor is stationary in physical portrait mode, swapping the image between...

Ok, this is a bit of an older thread and is going in a theoretical direction, but since there seem to be a lot of people here who have a clue about monitors, ClearType, etc., I'll ask here. My new secondary monitor is a 24" Dell IPS. I got it to use in Portrait mode for reading and such...

It is entirely possible and is probably how negotiations work in this field. In the end, however, the agreement still has to be made on whether the end-product is satisfactory for the party who orders its production. So I make my conclusions based on that fact. If compromises had to be made...

Givent that a company ordering a new product through an OEM provides specifications, I don't see how the OEM would just give isomething back in response and say "oh we thought you wanted it this way, not that way." I'm sure everything is reviewed and agreed upon, with sample models for review...

Was not the case for me. No obstructed airflow and still noisy at idle. And no heat in the case to speak of at idle loads. Anyway, I'm certain Silverstone will come up with a solution. Their products are always associated with good reputation and quality (love their cases!!), so this will...

To be completely fair, this can happen with ANY PSU from ANY manufacturer. I had a PC Power and Cooling PSU die on me in 2 days brand new. I had it replaced at my vendor, and all was well. I don't see what your experience with a completely different model has to add to this SFX PSU...

From AnandTech (and TechPowerUp used the same orientation): I'd also like to add that it's not easy to separate those qualities from one another. It's clearly related to the fan, it's not something like coil whine. Whether it's "fan noise" or "air noise", what is the difference really...

Photos of the internals (360 Watt version) here: http://www.tech-review.de/include.php?path=content/news.php&contentid=15525 (full review still upcoming)

I'm awaiting a review of the 360-watt Seasonic G PSU, because I am seriously considering swapping to it from this little guy, even though the Seasonic is nonmodular (but still fairly small vs. some other cheaper gold/platinum PSUs). Just need to know how quiet the Seasonic's 120mm fan profile...

If this PSU can go over the rated wattage, which many PSUs can, I can see it providing 400 Watts for short durations. edit: Why aren't there reviews of this PSU yet!!!!

I've accounted for that already - don't think it's a big deal. I do really like the Rosewill Capstone / Fortress options, but their size is significantly larger, making them an extreme tight fit (and really they will probably stick out of my case by a good amount,with all the cables tucked in)...

Aha. So if my system will need to briefly go to 400 Watts, this PSU can probably pull it off for a short time, but not much higher? edit: it's not listed on the 80+ official site yet :( Was going to look up its efficiency breakdown.

Excellent, thank you!!! Now, to be sure, the power supplies are rated to provide x number of watts for the system, not draw from the wall, correct? So it's 360 Watts to the system (and, say, 400-ish Watts from the wall). I wonder if this PSU goes beyond its rating somewhat. Some are rated...

I'm back to considering the 360 W version because of the size of the PSU box, because it's Seasonic, and because it's 80+ Gold at $60. Can it drive my i7 3770 (light overclock, undervolted with offset voltage) and GTX 670 ITX build? I'm showing sub 300 Watt consumption on pretty much all the...

Was about to pick a Rosewill PSU for my build, but then I stumbled upon the new Sparkle 80+ Platinum PSUs which have smaller dimensions (a big plus for my case) - unfortunately, I can't find any information on how good (or not) these would be. "SPARKLE R-FSP400-60ETN" is a 400-Watt version...

Thanks a lot for your replies. I'm trying to find a good quiet well-rated PSU on a budget ASAP, so information is greatly appreciated!

I was thinking that the platinum rating is nice, but of course, not hugely different from good efficiency of the Capstone line. Mostly though, Fortress is newer and has a 7-year warranty, and I thought perhaps has improved upon the Capstone line. Very very few reviews of the Fortress series...

I am looking to get one of these power supplies and cannot decide if the Fortress is worth the extra expense over Capstone (I could really use a modular PSU, but could make do with a regular--just barely). I'm really concerned with the noise factor, as my case is small, and it's on my desk...

I feel privileged! P.S.: Please do a review on both of these power supplies! <3

I will be powering an i5 3570k, ASUS GTX 670 TOP, 8 gigs of low watt RAM, a few fans, an SSD, and a hard drive - that's about it. I heeded the advice here and went for the new Silverstone SFX 80+ Gold modular PSU -- was just trying to be frugal, seeing as my Kill-a-Watt numbers were well below...

Waiting and waiting... Been waiting for a month and a half, and finally have all the other components ready, sitting around in boxes, and this PSU is still not widely available. Sure, FrozenCPU and some other sites have it, but $94 with free shipping is a lot more reasonable from Amazon...

Interesting reading - thanks for the thread list. I'll go with a safer 450-Watt range then and keep reading. I've tested 3 different computers with my K-a-W, and they have a similar range of components in terms of power draw, and none were over 350 Watts at max draw (that's 3 different power...

Has anyone tried this or found any reviews? I am considering purchasing it for my fairly low power system (I'm pretty sure I should be fine with it--used Kill-a-Watt to test my current set-up). On that note, should I be okay making a second PCIe connector by joining 2 molex connectors? My GTX...

Logically, yes - if Amazon and some other resellers followed these rules of labeling their products consistently. However, the black case from Amazon is labeled with its original USB2.0 model name and yet is the updated version. Apparently the same can be the case for the silver version...

Yeah, I'm just trying to decide if Amazon has some old stock FT02s that they are selling for $20 less than the USB3.0 versions... Hence why they have 2 listings with different prices. It's an expensive case already, so trying to save where I can! The black version is listed as simply FT02-BW...

Right, the black ones I don't have an issue with. It's the silver ones that are confusing, as they've added a separate listing for a FT02S-W-USB3.0 model... So there are TWO listings for silver FT02 with a window, one of which is $20 more expensive. Since then though, there's a review in the...

Does anyone have an idea whether all of the silver FT02 cases on Amazon should have been upgraded to USB3.0 and better fans by now? I'm more concerned about the fans, although USB3.0 is nice too at some point. The black cases have been upgraded in a stealth upgrade, as the reviews say, but the...

That looks like a nice one. After some experimentation, it appears that the brick only gets very hot if I run a complex video for a while at full brightness (which I did to try to get rid of stuck pixels). It's warm otherwise. Perhaps it's within specifications for it to run like at maximum...

Do your power bricks get very hot? I have a new 110V power brick, and it's very toasty (came with my monitor). Unsure if it's okay... It's rated for 110V+ and I'm operating it at 110V. Edit: actually I think it's just one of my new bricks... could be defective, as the other one is nice and...

IPSB is getting discontinued, and IPSI is its replacement. I'm guessing those who have monitors shipped directly from a factory warehouse might be sending out replacements if they are out of IPSB stock. I think IPSI can be marked as IPSB(B).

Well, basically with tempered glass fronts there will be a lot of tiny dust particles that you will not see. They are tiny and don't really have a color associated with them. Occasionally though there might be larger pieces that will have enough size to cast a shadow and appear black against...

FYI, TA_planet offers Welltronics 110V power bricks for US customers (and those who use 110V) with some Achieva ShiMians (have to request them for a separate fee on listings that come with 220V). I wasn't sure what brand it was, so I asked. Some sort of an updated Welltronics power brick...

Ah, do you normally use 220V sockets or does your country use 110V? I was hoping 110V to see which brand of 110V power bricks AW ships out.

Congratulations! Which power brick did you get with your new ShiMian?

Please post a review of your Achieva ShiMian IPSI! You are one of a handful of people who owns it.

I don't even... Your logic... I don't know how to even approach this comment, so I'll just leave it be. ---- Edit: I am still looking for info on this mysterious upgraded version that TA_planet is offering, because I'm about to buy a second monitor and want to know if it's worth the...

It does? Mine has been running cool and well for over a month now. I don't know where you got that information. Mine is rated for 110V+.

Which adapter is this seller talking about? I wonder if it is advertising or if this adapter is really better than the stock Nanjing Frontek: http://www.ebay.com/itm/320879998554?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_10085wt_943 "Overclock.net users requested for high quality...
