I just bought the Philips 240PW9ES


Captain L.

Not bad, the 9800GTX+ here being 178 euros and single GTX295 being in the 400 range. Too bad IPS monitors are a tad expensive I would have plugged two 9800GTX+'s myself. But since I love my colors and had a crappy time with TN panels before (especially with professional photo editing) I had to spare...

That seems very interesting. I would have expected the new GT200 chip to outperform the older G83 chip. Looking at that the GTX295 has more processor cores (480 vs 256 in your case, 2x128), and a higher bandwidth channel (256 vs 448), and more memory 1.7GB vs 1GB. However, memory and graphics clocks...

I am planning on using a 900W PSU from CoolMaster. I used to have 620W wich was good from Corsair, but I am planning on replacing my 2-yr-old 8800 Ultra with two GTX 295's in SLI in the near future. Yep, I saved up! The choice for monitor is now: HP LP2475w 24" OR Philips 240PW9ES What do you guys t...

oops, I may have accidentally posted in te wrong section. That's my bad.

Hi folks, Captainel is BACK!! :) Hehe, I am looking to buy a new PC. Since I moved to Holland from Egypt (college) I had to leave my two-year-old then-monstrous PC behind. I am however bringing my XFX 8800 Ultra with me I am looking for good specs to run FSX very good. I have set a limit of €1,100...

Ooh, sorry to make myself confusing.. I used to have Acceleration Pack, before I re-installed FSX (because all my aircrafts seemed to have no textures). Now I don't have Acceleration Pack, only SP2. If I disable DX10 in the options, all the aircraft now have textures, but when I enable DX10, 60% of ...

Yesterday I just updated my NVidia 8800 Ultra driver to the newest version (169.25). My BIOS is updated to the latest F7 version on my Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6. I haven't gotten a BSoD yet since, because I avoided music while tasking, (but I know there are some due when I am listening to music while exec...

Updated to version 169.25 and I can assure you, there is nothing wrong with my graphics card. All my other games work perfectly, and I have no problems whatsoever with my graphics card.


Captain El

Nope, no Acceleration Pack.. only SP2.

I got another and it said as follows: A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. The system encountered an uncorrectable hardware error. Please contact blah blah blah... for solutions blah blah... Technical Information: *** STOP: 0x00000124 (0x0000...

Yes, I have SP2 installed. I disabled DX10 and it loaded the textures. Something is wrong with DX10 support in the aircrafts. Does anyone else have this problem with DX10 and addon aircrafts (like Wilco or anything else) not loading textures?


Captain El

But I still don't understand.. how come those aircrafts don't load.. but other aircrafts do?? Is it SP2? Because I had the same problem long before overclocking my computer a while back.. after I installed Acceleration Pack. Is this due to DX10? Because It is not possible a dying CPU or Graphics car...

I have a serious problem. It seems as if a lot of my aircrafts do not want to load up the textures. An example is my Wilco PIC 737 in FSX.. the textures don't seem to load! 8O They seem to show up in the thumbnail but not in the previewing of them. What could be the problem?? This is true for a lot ...

I've been playing FSX for a while no problems Q6600 @ 3.51GHz and 3.5GB DDR2-800 @ 936.. But it seems like I get BSoD after 1 - 2 hours of playing if I have music running in the background, when I'm flying up a massive aircraft (PMDG). Is it possible the cause of this the starving RAM? (I only incre...

Hmm, I agree. But maybe 3 weeks or 3 months is a bit exaggeratedly short. Maybe 1.5 to 3 years seems more reasonable, because if my CPU is in use, it'll run at 3.51GHz.. but when its idle, it'll 'throttle' down to 2.3GHz (from 9x multiplier to 6x, as of why I thought mine was underclocked to 1.6GHz ...

3 weeks to 3 months? Are you sure?


I ran mine already for a long time... and no problems.

I know that overclocking will decrease CPU lifetime overall just for doing it. But I am still wondering if there will be any particular danger in overvoltaging the CPU above 1.52V?


Captain El

Yes. Except I would add another step to your method :wink: . I'd start from my original clock and start with +5 FSB increments increase each time. Keep your voltage where it is. Run Prime for 16 minutes or so (small FFT's!) is sufficient to simulate for most daily tasks (unless your running superhea...

I ran a test in Prime for 16hours 37minutes hours last night, no problems :D . It's perfectly stable at 3.51GHz at 1.520V. I got this optimum by raising the voltage one tiny step each time I got a BSoD while running Prime. It's a painstaking process... but I now have the optimum :) . But I am still ...

I did that. I am now at 9x 390MHz -> 3510MHz (3.51GHz), but I require a voltage of 1.520V in order not to get a BSoD after running Prime 95 with small FFTs for an hour or so. I'm running my Q6600 at 3.51GHz rock-stable at this 1.52V. But my question is... is it safe to run my CPU at this voltage in ...

I'm saying it takes 1.52V to run at 3.51GHz. Is it safe to keep my voltage at this level? Is it safe to keep my voltage at 1.520V? Intel stated the highest voltage recommended is 0.89V to 1.5V. So I'm just a little concerned, lol.


Captain El

Is it safe to take the Q6600 to 1.524V? I am a little worried because I can run my Q6600 perfectly stable 3.51GHz at 1.524V.. lower and I get BSoD's.


Captain El

Ok, I have now used the 2.66D --> 400MHz strapping to OC my memory from 800 to 950MHz. System running stable. Below is a pic of what it now looks like. But I am a little concerned about the memory having more bandwidth than the Front Side Bus. Would you recommend going form 9x 357MHz FSB to 8x 402MH...

I have posted my current OC rating of my computer below. I have one question regarding memory multipliers in the BIOS. I have the option of setting the memory in the following settings which OC my RAM to the exact same speed: 950MHz. I am confused with a few settings that I can set in my BIOS: Memor...

While playing Crysis at stock cooling at this 2.99GHz after an hour or so.. my BIOS alarmed telling me the core has exceeded 70oC. But surprisingly, the system was very stable and nothing seemed to be wrong! (besides the beeping noise from my BIOS). I'm not sure, but I think the Q6600 could handle e...

No mate, theirs is also 1.44. I checked it and confirmed. Well, I managed to get this baby up to 3.0GHz. 333MHz Bus speed with 9x multiplier. Rated FSB 1332.1MHz core #1 temperature of my Q6600 reached up to 82 degrees C. The rest were lower at about 60 - 68 oC. Is this a withstandable temperature f...

Your right. It does go up to 2.4GHz. But now the question is... I want to overclock that to 3.4GHz with 1.28V to 1.4V with the Bus speed 426.0MHz and Rated FSB 1704.2MHz. I have read a few overclocking tips as follows: http://www.tweak3d.net/joomla/features/hardware/overclocking-tips http://www.pcst...

Good day, Here, again, I come before you with a question regarding my Q6600 CPU. The other day my friend talked about overclocking his P4 to 4.0GHz and told me to see if my Q6600 is worth overclocking. Here is the data I've gathered. Temperatures, clocks measured using Everest Ultimate Edition and C...

I'd personally recommend you wait till the nForce 780i comes out! :wink: Yes they are compatible with each other, but no, Quad-SLI is not possible. Only Tri-SLI (I do beleive Quad SLI is out there... but thats just like having 2 seperate SLI systems 2xdualSLI..) I have that exact same Q6600, and it ...
