I have no idea why people are still using analogue video outputs in this day and age. Edit: I am very certain that DVI (and if required, Flat Panel Scaling in the nvidia drivers) will solve the issue unless you've screwed some video setting in the monitor's OSD or GPU driver. Its a very old monitor and I don't have a Dell monitor anymore so I can't help you if the DVI cable doesn't work. I plugged the same cable into the DVI port and the monitor didn't even turn on. Dell says the Vista driver should work but somehow it still doesn't (I installed through "Have Disk" method). Should I uninstall the Nvidia drivers? My card is GT240. | ||

You do not need drivers for any monitor. The only monitor that requires basic drivers is the Apple Cinema Display and that's because you can't control anything without software since it has no buttons. Don't use the VGA cable. You must use a DVI cable. It is obvious why it did not work because the Dell SE198WFP's DVI port is DVI-D and therefore does not accept analogue signals. Get a DVI-D cable, plug one end into the DVI port of your GT240, and the other end into the Dell SE198WFP's DVI port. Have you done this? If so, do into your nvidia drivers and play around with Flat Panel Scaling if there's still resolution problems. | ||

Background info. My self build computer case was dropped one month ago. The case is not salvageable and I needed to replace my HDMI to VGA Adapter (allows me to connect my GPU to my monitor) So decided to run a POST test outside the case, to see if all of the other components were working. (ie: Motherboard, Graphics Card, Processor, Power Supply) I hooked everything up correctly to the power supply. I connected the 24 pin plug, the 8 pin plug, and the plug to the GPU. Then I turned on the system and all three of the fan started turning, (GPU fan, Processor fan, and PS fan,I assumed that meant nothing else was damaged) but nothing appeared on my monitor. No POST test. I didn't even receive any beeps to tell me what is wrong. PS. And yes I had the Monitor plugged in. Sadly I lost my motherboard manual Can someone please help explain to me what is wrong, or point me to a site where I can get more information? | ||

I've only had problems with instability as far as overclocking goes, but are unlocked CPUs such as 2500k, 2600k (and the upcoming 3570k and 3770k) much more stable for overclocking because they use the multiplier rather than fsb? Basically what I'm asking is, do unlocked CPUs run more stable becuase you are overclocking using the multiplier instead of the fsb? I have a q6600 that refuses to go over 3.75ghz (stable 3.6ghz, woot) no matter what the temperatures are under load, I assume that's because I have my fsb too high for the cpu to take (I've tested different volts). So water cooling will in effect raise my overclocking cap (temp-wise) because their stability isn't affected in the same way fsb overclocking is? What's something to watch out for while using liquid cooling such as leaks etc? How often should I expect to clean them and what exactly would I put in the cooler itself? | ||

It doesn't matter what temperatures are under load if the chip can't go any further. Multiplier overclocking is easier so I guess you can call it more stable because there's less shit to fuck up. Corsair H60 is self contained. You don't need to do anything except mount it on the CPU. If it breaks, you go talk to Corsair. What you're thinking about are the custom loops that costs hundreds of dollars. Self-contained water cooling kits are no better than flagship tower heatsinks such as the NH-D14 or Silver Arrow.

Will an aftermarker cooler be quieter? Aftermarket heatsinks are always quieter than the stock heatsink (unless you get a really shit aftermarket heatsink). | ||
