Strange Artifacting in 2ms monitors

I think Tom's hardware said the VX922 panel that I have was their top pick for gaming, and I guess that makes sense as this artifacting is much harder to see. I tried the video on a CRT and it never occured so I'm positive this is an LCD issue. Have you ever seen this kind of thing occur with...

Strange Artifacting in 2ms monitors

Hi there, I've noticed in 3 different 2ms TN panel monitors a strange kind of artifacting. Basically it seems similar to when AVI video's lose data and don't update bits of the screen. Mind you, its not nearly that bad or noticeable. I've notice it happen alot when pixels go from...

E6550 Not very popular?

Well, I did a bit of overclocking and had it stable at 2.8 GHz with ram timings at 5-5-5-12 instead of 5-5-5-18. Played FEAR at max for a while and ran SuperPi (21sec stock, 18 seconds this round). Right now I'm running at 3.195 ghz and my ram is running at 900mhz with the 5-5-5-12. So far it...

Where did you find that number? CPUz just says my stepping is B, and revision G0. I think if anything is limiting your chip its your motherboard, I don't know how well that particular one goes, I know some of the Abits were really great for the 1066 models but I don't know about 1333.

Sorry I've been away for a bit.. Umm about overclocking, well I haven't really done much, in fact that 2.8 Ghz, I would just ignore that because there was a few things about my motherboard I wasn't aware of that were causing blue screens and random restarts. Apparently, if I left the CPU Core...

A lot of power supplies have them split as 2 4pin connectors for boards that don't support 8pin, so I imagine its the exact same cable, just two of them. And I don't need to overclock my RAM at all, I can clock the CPU bus asynchronously, so it doesn't change memory speed at all. But...

That's good to hear, mine are a little loud too, I think I left one of them on high or something by accident. But I can't hear the 200mm fan on high, at all. Anyway, I finally have mostly everything sorted out, and here is my first overclock, didn't want to push it far just yet: Should...

Apparently the EVGA 680i does. It says in the manual, that using 1 4 pin connector will do, but highly recommended 2. I assumed it that I might lose stability with high clocks or something. I ended up ordering the Mushkin HP 550, managed to get it for 65 CDN. Mixed reviews but it seems like it...

Received all my parts today, but.. I realized I need a new power supply as my current one only has 1 4Pin 12V cable instead of 2, which seems to be required if I want any decent results on my new board. But that ships tomorrow so I should be good. But jeez, how many power inputs do these...

Are there any disadvantages for using async?

Thanks, myocardia. Well, I bought the EVGA 680i board, and that allows me to clock the RAM and CPU asynchronously. I also bought Mushkin EM 6400 ram, which is decent for overclocking but nothing overly fantastic. I think it uses that Micron D9 stuff but i could be wrong. I wasn't really...

My girlfriend's old p3 board seems to have died just yesterday, she's had that for at least 5 years and ive kept it for one. It was in constant use for those 5 years but i've hardly used it. plus it was a used PC, was used in a fitness center and im pretty sure it was running all the time...

I ended up getting Mushkin EM-PC2-6400 instead of higher speed ram due to that very reason, asynchronous FSB clocking. My main reason for posting however is because I am surprised to see not many people talking about this particular processor. I can barely find reviews on it, it seems to be...

Hi there :) I noticed that there aren't many topics around about overclocking the E6550 that just came out. Is it because of the 20 dollar price difference between the E6750 and the E6550? I forget where I read it, but I had found out that the E6550 was wonderful for overclocking. I did see...
