Right is very quiet aswell. when i switch the center cable and front cable around, center becomes correct but the fronts dont work at all. Below is my spec and set up...

    RECOMMENDATIONS: 22" monitor for gaming ??

    Got my LG L227WT this morning and COD4 looks awesome compared to my old CRT. Don't take my opinion as gold though as this is my first LCD experience ;)

    £220 budget for gaming monitor - 226CW?

    Is adding a 24" PVA panel to the equasion for £270 worth doing? Yes its out of my budget that i want to spend, but it is within my fund limit. If its not worth adding to my list of 4 to choose from, can it replace the other 24" one i have on my list at £255 (Iiyama B2403WS) or is that one better...

    £220 budget for gaming monitor - 226CW?

    LOL the 2232BW was where i first looked before doing any research as i thought it looked pretty decent. Then i read up and found it got a lot of bad reviews hence my quest for research. Amazon have it for £191.

    £220 budget for gaming monitor - 226CW?

    19 views and no opinions :( What about the IIyama E2403WS 24"? Its a bit more at £255 delivered but seems to get good reviews by gamers. http://www.misco.co.uk/applica...u=137702&sourceid=2003

    £220 budget for gaming monitor - 226CW?

    Hi guys, i have £220 (think thats around $420), and was hoping you can help me choose a monitor. I have read as much as i can, and i feel like i'm more confused than before now as i knew nothing about input lag, panel lotteries etc. I know theres a 226BW but again total confusion over which is...

    How far can i push my Athlon X2 6400+?

    Hmm, was getting BSOD's in 3dmark and Crysis CTD within seconds lol. Temps are fine so does that mean the voltages are the next thing to increase?

    How far can i push my Athlon X2 6400+?

    Just gone higher than i could when i tried before i read your post myocardia ;) Obviously lowering the RAM has done that trick. Ilde temp is 1c more at 3.45ghz so will load 3dmark up and see how high it goes. Finally i also see voltages may need highering as i go along? I have 4 or 5 to...

    How far can i push my Athlon X2 6400+?

    I haven't increased the voltage as i wasn't sure which to choose. I have presets in the bios so i guess i go up each one as i increase the multiplier. My old case was bad for airflow and the mobo won't boot up unless the fan is connected. What about memory? do i need to adjust that asi go...

    How far can i push my Athlon X2 6400+?

    Having just finsihed my upgrade of a new case (Antec 900), i am seeing temps lower than i have ever seen. I will be asking the same question as i am here about my 8800 GTX in the gfx forum but for the CPU specifically how far can i take it? At stock its 3.2ghz and i have just pushed it up to...

    M2N Sli Deluxe

    Sorry for being stupid but i can't see anywhere in the BIOS to disable it. Having installed a Xfi sound card, what shouldn't be in my device manager?
