Re: Samsung PN58C6400 Plasma HDTV
I wonder what this thing is called in Europe. PS58C6505 ? Why oh why can't they call them the same across regions..

Re: OOPS! 6850 -> 5850 and Power Supply/AMP concerns
88C is completely 100% safe for a GPU and your CPU temps seem quite low so don't know why you'd need any more fans..

Re: OOPS! 6850 -> 5850 and Power Supply/AMP concerns
If you don't OC, you are more than fine. I'm running an OC'd E4500 and OC'd Radeon 6850 on my Seasonic 330W. My system most likely draws more power than yours.

Re: Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 very silent and not even vapor-x
Thanks micksh.
Yeah I was confused 'cause both of my displays were detected when I swapped them around. I hope I can sort this out now.

Re: Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 very silent and not even vapor-x
Well it was going too well with this upgrade of mine. It was too good to be true. So what is wrong? The damn thing doesn't detect my HDTV while it's connect via a DVI-VGA cable. My 3850 detected the TV instantly but clicking 'detect monitors' does nothing here. Just tells me I only have one monitor ...

Re: Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 very silent and not even vapor-x
Just got my Sapphire 6850 1GB today and man was happily surprised there was a 1.8m HDMI-cable included. And the performance is awesome compared to my old Radeon 3850. I'm loving it. What about noise? :mrgreen: Can't hear it over the rest of the system while idle. In my opinion the sound of the fan ...

You shouldn't hold off, instead buy a Pioneer Kuro full HD if you can still find one. My friend has a 50" and it's just awesome. Didn't Panasonic buy Pioneer's tech or something?

Both syllables are short. The first syllable isn't a long kah but short, just like ze in terms on length.

I'm a big fan of Corsair, but I just don't like this product as it's kind of like the worst of both worlds. You don't get the performance of a water cooling setup, and you get additional noise from a pump compared to just the fan on a tower heatsink. The only real use I see for it is small setups l...

Whether the pump was defective or not doesn't make a difference here. There's a chance that a noisier pump is also a less efficient pump. I mean, if our sample is noisier than usual, it's possible that the thing also doesn't pump as well as usual. Until we get a another sample to examine, we really...

It's a PS2 emulator. But the answer was in the following post. Fast memory is required for overclocking headroom so you're not limited by your RAM when overclocking. And of course benchmarking.
