I see what you're talking about. :) It's set for Shut down, but I hardly ever use it for that purpose. I always do it from the os (hit "Start - U - H" to hibernate, or "Start U-U" to shutdown). From experience, when it's off and hibernated, pressing the button just resumes the computer...

The only option in the Control Panel / Power Options / Hibernate tab is to enable or disable Hibernation... When I'm not using WOL, I just press the power button on the desktop, which brings it back to life (I have a usb mouse and keyboard, so I can't use the 'wake on PS/2 keyboard'...

I normally don't "Shutdown" the desktop PC, I just hibernate it (using my default account, say "Oakleaf"). And when I resume locally (i.e. press the button on the machine), it goes directly to the Oakleaf desktop. I've got Wake on Lan (I think) to work on a basic level since it does...

Hi, I have a laptop downstairs and a desktop PC upstairs, networked using a D-link router. I'm trying to sync up my photos since I do most of my downloading onto the laptop. My plan is to use Gammadyne's WOL.exe utility to wake up my desktop PC, use Syncback to synchronize the My...

Thanks to KutterMax and Deformer's comments, I just installed the NV Silencer 5 on my Gainward GT (dual DVI, non-GS). My NV Silencer included a single bracket for the cooler, so I also ended up cutting the gainward bracket. I had to use a dremel, since my tin snips were too weak. As KutterMax...

Ordered mine from jab-tech last week at the $24 price + USPS shippping ($29.90 total). Just installed it on my Gainward GT - had to cut off the bracket for the exhaust, but it's MUCH quieter than the stock cooler, with slightly lower temps. Well worth it to me!!:cool: Thanks all

I figured as much. Oh well... Thanks for your help!:D

Hi all, I'm starting to do some video editing and my main hard drive is getting full. I have a hard drive sitting around that I'm now wanting to use. It wasn't in my rig before because I didn't need it and I didn't want the extra heat/noise source in my box. Now, I'd like to put my...

Mine does the same thing - that's why I don't like using the dynamic setting. I have mine set at 50%/80% (2D/3D).

I think Hero means "both GH and Video", referring to the 'General Hardware' and 'Video' forums here.

Oh well. I wasn't too keen on having to remove the ramsinks... I initially had expertool doing the dynamic regulation, but it would change so often that my wife was getting annoyed. :laugh: So, I chose the other option and I have the fans run at 50% when doing 2D stuff, but go up to 80%...

If I try to put an NV5 on my Gainward 6800GT, will I have to take the ramsinks off as well? Anybody done this yet? (Those fans are REALLY loud!) TIA

I thought that as well, but Expertool update downloaded the same version of Expertool (3.18) that I already had loaded on my machine so I'm not sure if the BIOS it downloaded is new or just the same 'ol one that I already have...

Hi all, I just received my 6800GT and was wondering what version is the latest BIOS. When I use Expertool, it says that my BIOS version is 5.40.02.15.01 and when I use the EXPERT update, it downloads a file called 4202be00.zip. I don't know how to decipher that filename, but more...

For those keeping track, no GS for me either. :( I actually don't feel disappointed at all - probably because after following this thread I wasn't expecting one anymore. I just feel a little slighted since the case is building that we were - intentionally or not - given misinformation...
