We'll see. I may head back there tomorrow. Sad thing is I wasn't even shopping for a new TV/monitor. Just stumbled upon it.

My local Best Buy has this monitor on clearance for just $999. Sounded like a good deal but I wasn't sure. How is this monitor different from the 37W3? Is it just an older model? Thanks.

Have you seen any issues that may be related to overheating? If not, then I'd say you are fine. You have a good heatsink, you've checked the mounting of it, you shouldn't really have anything to worry about. I found a post on the asus forums where someone is noticing a similar issue. He has...

I am wondering the exact same thing about this board. I'm running this board and I also ran the gigabyte 6100/430 board for a short while. Temps on the a8n-vm csm seemed much higher to me as well, possibly as much as 10 C. I'm watercooling my cpu and gpu in an x-qpack case. At stock speed my...

Everyone seems to be missing a major point here. This comes straight from the swiftech description of the apogee block: "In particular we took into account the trend for dual core processors which feature larger die sizes thus requiring a different treatment of the heat fluxes." I read that...

It took about a week or so before I started hearing the sounds. I never ran it continuously though, just for a couple hours every night. I'll give it another couple of days and see if the problems persist or get worse. If so I'll try to return it to the store I bought it from. Thanks for the...

I've been running the danger den csp-mag pump in my loop for about a week. It sounded fine at first but now it sounds strange when it is powered on or off. When powered on it seems to have trouble starting up. It doesn't sound smooth. Once it gets going though it sounds fine and I haven't...

I think I fixed it. I flipped the power switch connector around the other way. This got rid of the issue where the system would power on if the video card bracket was touching the case. Is this normal? I thought that the orientation of the power switch didn't matter. I thought it would...

I finally got it working....sort of. I was able to hook up my video card and get the motherboard to post. I still had my monitor hooked up to the onboard video though. I even installed windows. This is still with the mobo on a piece of cardboard. I thought everything was fine so I went to...

I had it at that setting when I had everything in the case. That's when I first saw the problem. I set it to always enable because I wanted to be able to just leave my monitor cable plugged into the onboard gpu. These new chipsets are supposed to be able to run both onboard and external...

Yes, the system seems fine when i disconnect my 6800gt and use the onboard video. Once I connect it, the system acts strangely as described. In the bios there is an option for the onboard gpu "Always enable" or "Enable if no PCIe GPU". I have it set to always enable. Update: I tested...

So I got my replacement gigabyte 6100/430 board on wednesday. First thing I did was test it with the stock cooler, no video card, 2 sticks of ram. Motherboard posted fine. Powered down and connected HDD and cdrom. Still fine. Now I decide to put everything into my case with my cpu...

I do not get any error messages or beeps. The system will power on but the motherboard does not post. I sent the motherboard back to newegg this morning. I hope to have a replacement by next week. I'll definitely test it out with the stock heatsink this time. I don't want to fuss with the...

It's looking more and more like the motherboard is the culprit. I tested the power supply by shorting the green and black wires. It's working fine. With the power supply connected I'm able to power on the system but i'm getting no post. I disconnected my 6800 GT and connected my monitor to...

Thanks for the help. I hope to try all that out when I get home from work tonight. My problem is that it's tough to swap stuff in/out because of the watercooling.

I'm pretty sure nothing is overheating. I'm watercooling my cpu and gpu. Radiator fan and pump are both working fine. I had it on for at least 10 minutes while I explored the bios. CPU was holding steady at 29 C and system temp was reading 28 C.

I finished putting together my new system last night. Powered it up and went into the BIOS setup. Everything seemed to be ok. CPU, memory, HDD were all recognized. I exited and booted from my windows CD. All was good until I hit enter to set up a partition on the hard drive. At this point...

I just got my new swiftech 6000K waterblock for my athlon 64 X2 4200+ I also bought the new gigabyte board based on the geforce 6100 chipset. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128315 It looks like the waterblock mounts are not compatible with this board. The...

Where did you buy the a8n-vm csm from? I've been waiting 3 weeks to get this board. I cannot find it in stock anywhere.

I just got my new 2005FPW yesterday. I checked for dead pixels and found two....not a big deal I guess. I'm using the DVI input. Then as I was reading this post I noticed the horizontal bars moving down the screen on the left edge....thanks a lot!! ;) I have a 6800 GT and I played around...

Where did you order that gigabyte board from?

I think you'll find that the best board currently available in the US with the 6100/410 chipset is the biostar tforce6100. The only other board that I've seen in stock is a foxconn at newegg. Has anyone else seen a different board in stock anywhere?

It looks like it will be a pretty solid board. I don't think any US e-tailers have it in stock yet....i've searched everywhere.

I've considered using a 120x2 rad but i want to use a small form factor case and it doesn't make sense. Maybe i'm just expecting too much to have a quiet, high performance watercooling setup in a sff. I'll have to decide what tradeoffs I want to make. Are the new thermochill PA120 radiators...

Ok, BIX is out. I'd still really like to use a single 120mm radiator + fan though (preferably one that doesn't cost $90). What kind of temperature difference would there be between the BIP and BIP2? I can live with a few more degrees C if it means a more compact, quieter setup. I won't...

I'm going to have a TDX block cooling a Athlon X2 4200+ and an MCW55 cooling a 6800 GT. I plan to use the swiftech mcp350 pump. I want a quiet system so I want to use a low CFM fan. Also, my radiator will be mounted externally. Is the black ice pro my best bet? Would the BIX perform any...

I thought there would be more boards out by now. How much longer until we see tforce boards from asus, DFI, abit, etc? I'm ready to build my system. I'm just waiting to get one of these motherboards. Should I just give in and buy the biostar board that's available?

Anybody know how these boards will perform compared to nforce 4? I'm not interested in using the onboard graphics, but I am interested in the overall system performance.

What blocks did you use? What size tubing? What radiator? What pump? Give me something....

How many of you have done watercooling with the X-QPACK case? Do you also have a waterblock for your GPU? I have a 6800GT and I'm wondering if there is room between the PSU and the top of the video card for a Danger Den 6800 block. Or possibly room to route tubing with a DD Maze 4 block...

Check out the review on anandtech. They have a comparison of several 6600GT pci express models, including noise levels. http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2295

I had a similar leak occur in my case recently. I thought that I fried my X300 (don't laugh--it's temporary until I can get my hands on a 6600GT or X700XT). Water even managed to work its way in between where the gpu package bonds to the board. Anyway, I blew the water out with compressed...

TrueGamer, DangerDen has the TDX for socket 775. I have it installed in my system...works well. Your sig says that you have a Geforce 6600....where did you get it? I'd like to buy a 6600GT for my Intel 775 system.

Can the reviewers comment on how the system overclocks with the 6600GT? I recall in previous reviews on the web that higher FSB speeds on the 925X chipset were attainable using ATI native PCI express cards. The bridged NVIDIA cards were said to be less tolerant of out of spec PCI express...
