    Dell S2740L Removed glass facia to reduce reflections

    I have been using a Dell S2740L for a few weeks now and it has many merits but there is one issue I have with it where it is far too reflective. There is a company that makes filters for that which I have not tried but instead I noticed just running my fingernail along the edge that the glass...

    ASRock A785GXH/128 Fails to boot after changing Overclock Mode (stock frequency)

    Hi, I believe this belongs more in this forum (motherboard) although correct me if I'm wrong. Currently my ASRock A785GXH/128 fails to boot and intermittently post if I change the Overclock mode from anything else than normal, even if the frequencies are left at or below stock. I...

    Phenom/Barcelona L3 Disabled Benchmarks?

    Has anyone managed to find any benchmarks of a Phenom or Barcelona compared to the same configuration with the L3 cache disabled? I'm really curious what sort of performance benefit if any is provided in real world applications, more so in the gaming/encoding and perhaps maya. This is mostly...

    Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe 4xDIMM oc'ing and RAID array migration

    Hi, I currently have an ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 that I am planning on replacing with an Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe. My first question is, does anyone have their or other's typical overclocks with all 4dimms populated(assuming it would be CMD-1T)? So far, nearly every review site only reviews the...

    Hi, I currently have an opteron 165 @2.4ghz mated to a Zalman 9500 in a HD-160 case. It has been running for quite some time (I dont shut it down at night, usually running for a few weeks before an update or something else requires a reboot) and I would like to improve on its cooling...

    Which is faster 2xXeon 2.0ghz or Pentium D 805 as a server?

    I have a peculiar situation here with two servers, one that was a mediocre server when originally purchased a few years ago, and a relatively recent absolute budget server. Soon I plan on rolling out windows 2003 on both servers primarily for shadow copy to handle the small "whoopsies" when I...

    Any motherboard with dimms at the top edge?

    Hi. Currently I have a Zalman HD-160 case and so far I am fairly happy with it, however I am looking to improve on the overall cooling by finding some components to re-arrange the airflow, notably the motherboard. How it is situated right now, the intake for the CPU fan is about 1cm from the...

    Alternative backlighting LCD?

    Story later on, details first: I am hoping to build or simply learn from other's mistakes as I do not want to dump a few grand into a project with no or limited success. I have a few LCDs (recent 4ms/6ms 17" LCDs and a single 19" LCD) that I'ld be willing to use as my guinea pigs for this...

    Explorer.exe/Post-Mortem Debugger w/Dual Core enabled

    This problem has been perplexing me for some time now. Originally I was having some instabilities with my system along with this one, however I nailed it down to a power supply problem. Upon acquring a new powersuply (OCZ GameXStream 700) all the other instabilities disappeared, however this...
