@Billy Tallis One more question - do you have perhaps means to check if the drive from https://www.anandtech.com/show/11792/the-sandisk-ultra-3d-1tb-and-western-digital-wd-blue-3d-nand-1tb-ssd-review supports deterministic trim ? The disks are Marvell based and this controller's firmwares...

Thanks for info. And yea, I have the same fears that they will maybe try to segment the market with something even as basic as that. On a related note, new MX500 firmware "should" be out soon, so there is small hope they will change that (mentioned it on their forums as well). Checking for...

Hi, From the recent recently released sata SSDs, a good few new models - despite being RZAT technically - don't report it at all. Neither basic deterministic read after trim, not deterministic read zero after trim. A few recent models that report basic trim support and nothing else (with most...

I made my friend buy that model, and it's really nice monitor - and a bargain for H-IPS panel at that price. If it only had glossy surface like good old 20wgx2 pro ...

I'm slowly getting ready to upgrade my monitor setup from 20wgx2 pro to something a bit bigger (24+), of course keeping the old one as the secondary monitor. Still, looking today at the choices, there're effectively ... 3 if I want ips based panel and sane price. Two of them unavailable in PL...

Well, the temperatures of cpu are around 54-56 under full load, 41-43 idle. Northbridge under those conditions are at most 54 (59 before I applied decent thermal compound to stock motherboard heatsinks) and ~47 idle. I've tested only with bios v403 so far. The final cpu speed is ~3.3ghz (from...

I've observed rather unusual behavior of my motherboard, while trying to find stable settings at 472x7 with PL:8 vs PL:9 . My configuration: Old E6400 with TR Ultra 120 Asus rampage formula, bios 403 (with replaced el-cheapo double sided sticking tape for some real thermal compound - got -6C...

I have retested this again, and so far it seems that memory was holding me back after all. With relaxed timings it's working fine. Or at least I haven't found any errors yet. Despite that, the only method to find it was to either use mentioned copying, or GoldMemory. I completely forgot about...

Hello In my rig, I've recently discovered, that usual prime95/memtest/3dmark/etc. stress tests weren't enough in my case. Purely by coincidence I disocvered problems with simple I/O operations - when I copied one larger (around 300mb) archive to the other disk, and 1 bit turned out to be...

FP91G and FP93GX+ are available here. Minimally more expensive, shouldn't be a problem though. Out of curiosity - there're also 2 el'cheapo widescreen models - FP92Wa and FP93VW - any experiences with those (or other manufacturers' models in this price range) ? The only thing that turns me...

This time I'm looking for some cheap models. I have to buy ~10 of them to the firm, but unfortunately, the costs have to be kept as minimal as possible. I'm looking for the price comparable to let's say NEC AccuSync LCD93V (approx 250$ in Poland at this moment). Any recommendations for the...

This is pretty much how I approached it as well. They don't bother me becuase they are virtually invisible. In total I've found 5-6 "bigger" ones so far - 2-3 next to each other, but I can't even tell if it's 2 or 3. The other ones I noticed during normal work though. Mentioned handful of...

NEC 20WGX2 Pro, produced march 2007, iirc - don't remember where I found this info.

my computer -> properties -> advanced -> environment variables add to system ones

I've examined the problematic pixel I've found on my new panel. Looking at it closely with a magnifying glass, revealed that it's not really dead or stuck. It actually looks like partially (?) damaged green one - somehow like this. Apart from that, all the 3 subpixels seem to work properly...
