    Samsung T260 vs Viewsonic VP2650

    Of the 26" TN lcd's I have looked at these 2 seem to be among the best. I prefer TN monitors because I am always looking straight on at my mine and my experience has been that they look better when gaming.

    Samsung T260 vs Viewsonic VP2650

    I know both of these lcd's are good. I was wondering if the viewsonic had anything that made it worth the $100 extra it would cost to get it over the T260

    According to coolermaster it is 22-26db. To be honest I can't tell you because I have one of the mountain mod ufo cases so All I can hear is the case fan noise.

    I have seen that gigabyte board in action. The big advantage that I think it has over this board is the voltage stability. I have to really put the vcore up there to get 3.6GHz on my 6600 because of the voltage drops. When I dropped it in my friends gigabyte board it took much less vcore. As far...

    Has anyone else noticed that when rebooting the nvidia controller takes a while to dectect the raid arrays? If I do a cold start it detects the arrays quickly and continues booting. When I restart the system, the bios takes about 30-40 seconds to detect the raid arrays on the nvidia controller.

    I have a Ultra-120 mounted using the bolt thru kit. I don't have any issues with the ram ram or nb cooler but I have removed the stock NB cooler and have a lower profile blue ice pro. The cooling is great with this. I am at 8x400 with 1.41v and load temps never go above 40C.

    I had asked about the onboard sound earlier in this thread and was told it sounded okay but to get rid of the popping sound I needed to disable the onboard speaker. Is there a setting in the speaker driver to do this or do I just unplug the speaker?

    Does anyone know where the sensor for the motherboard temperature is located? By this I mean is it at the top of the mobo near the memory or cpu area or near the video cards or near the bottom.

    You mentioned that the zalman is just sitting on the cpu. Do you have it clamped on or is it just sitting on the cpu without the fastener attached? If it is just sitting without the fastener then these temps are about right and they are a little high to be running on.

    This is a bug with XP. It happens you use and onboard raid controller(or at least the nvidia and the intel ones). It doesn't seem to happen if you have a pci or pci express raid card.

    Try a little better cooling and then increase the vcore some more. For me to get to 3.2GHZ with my 6600 I had to put the NB up to 1.5 and I am not sure what yours is at.
