    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    Don't remember exactly as the input lag was my main concern at the time but think it was something about uneven brightness across the screen, think there was some mention in this thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1264046

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    Hi! My old crt finally died on me so I'm looking for a new lcd. I'll use it for digital artwork, 3dsmax/photoshop (not so much for actual photo editing though), but also for games and I also read quite a bit so it would be nice if text is readable. Movies aren't as important as I'll just watch...

    a8n-sli chipset heatsink fan

    Asus is screwing the Netherlands it seems. Helpdesk is only available through a webform that gets answered in Taiwan and when you have a comment about the support you can sent a mail to some adress in China which doesn't reply at all. I also tried the german webform but no reply as well. I'm...

    a8n-sli chipset heatsink fan

    What I meant is that the premium will be fanless, so where did the new fans come from? Were they specifically designed to fix the problem for the current a8n-sli (deluxe) ? Fisher999: Where are you from? (read: will they sent it to Europe?)

    a8n-sli chipset heatsink fan

    Apparently, the a8n-sli premium will have some sort of heatsink solution. I thought the replacement fans (that only US customers seem to get) were supposed to be for the premium or did I misunderstand something?

    a8n-sli chipset heatsink fan

    Anyway to get the new fan in Europe? All helpdesk stuff gets linked through to Taiwan where they just have useless untrained monkeys = no help at all. (from The Netherlands anyway)

    a8n-sli chipset heatsink fan

    I guess Asus customer service isn't much help either: Also I just looked at the papst site and I noticed there are different types of 412F fans, the 412FM which was mentioned here is the slowest with 4300 rpm and the 412FH is the fastest with 6000 rpm. Wouldn't it make more sense to go...

    a8n-sli chipset heatsink fan

    So how much higher will it be with the papst fan? :) (using standard hs) Also how hard is it to replace? can you do it without having to remove the board from the case? ( just about 0 xp here)

    a8n-sli chipset heatsink fan

    Im going crazy here too, it was fine for some weeks but now its making more noise than a lawnmower. My question is: will the papst fan fit with a silencer 5? Also hasn't asus given an official response yet? Cause this is insane.

    Building a new pc, would you change anything?

    Ike0069: yeah or maybe I'll use the sb live 5.1 I have in this system, I don't realy know how much better the audigy is other than that it support latest eax etc. It has been a pain in this system, often the cause of crashing games etc. so I was hoping things would be sorted out by now but I...

    Building a new pc, would you change anything?

    blackinches: I'm from the Netherlands so I'm checking out local shops :) Chosonman: I just checked the requirements on the asus site and it should do 2x 6800gt with 400W? pelikan: Sounds like a plan. How much trouble would installing the new cooler be? I couldn't find anything like an...

    Building a new pc, would you change anything?

    Thanks for replying! Pelikan: I don't think I'll be doing any overclocking and the xp-120 is a bit more expensive + needs a separate fan right? Think it will be much quieter? I don't think we get fortron's over here, at least not the one you mentioned, I picked this one since the noisetakers...

    Non-SLI Socket PCI-E 939 Motherboard (best)

    Let me add a question: could a SLI board actually be the best PCI-E board of the moment even if you'll never use the SLI part? It seems to me like SLI boards get priority from manufacturers with SLI versions appearing first.

    Diamond Max 10: what do you guys think of these 16mg sata hdd

    Seagates are known for reliability and silence, however since they don't seem to be so silent anymore... 5 years warranty is nice though (even if it won't get your data back), Raptors have 5 years too I believe. Anybody have any opinion on the rubber grommets + raptor thing I mentioned in my...

    Diamond Max 10: what do you guys think of these 16mg sata hdd

    Some more random thoughts(I probably should stop having those since they only seem to complicate matters or I end up spending way more :P ) : -For less than 30? more you can get 50 GB extra with the 300 GB version of the DM. -Add 20? to that and you can have 2 200 GB DM's = 400 GB in raid 0...

    Diamond Max 10: what do you guys think of these 16mg sata hdd

    So which one is noisier? I'm also looking for a new HD (+pc :) ). I currently have 2 Seagate Barracudas IV's in raid 0 and they seem very quiet, so I'm inclined to think Seagate might be quieter. Also, I couldn't actualy find a review of the Maxtor Diamondmax 10 on storagereview but apparently...
