  1. Wait.. So 3D even on current monitors means that images displayed would be somewhat red and blue?
  2. I was recently using a Dell S2409W monitor. It was with me for about 2 years and served me well. I did not find it bright enough, but that could be due to its matte screen. I have sold the monitor off and now am planning to purchase a brand new monitor. I will be using it for gaming and movie watching. 3D monitors seems to be the hype this time around. I am torn between getting a standard 24" Monitor (Save some cost) or a 27" Asus VG278H 3D Monitor (Mainly because it supports Nvidia 3D vision). I know that the easiest way is to test the monitor and see which is to my liking, however the biggest IT mall in Malaysia (where i am from) doesn't have many 3D monitors in Display. I had to get a retailer to remove a monitor from its packaging (Samsung 27" 3D) and I had a go at it. As the outlet was closing, i just had a few minutes so i didn't see much. What are your guys opinion? Should i go 3D or is 3D still in it's infancy? How about watching 3D movies on 3D monitors? Would it add x100 to my movie watching experience?
  3. Yes, I am. Is there an alternative to this? This is my first build after several years with an Acer computer. Wow. Your room must be really warm. My current rig is at the room outside of my room, which faces the window = Sun. My room should be 2 Celsius cooler since its not facing the sun. Thank you for confirming this for me. I am a newbie in Overclocking and this is my first build. After several weeks of reading, I was just concerned that my setup might be of an issue.
  4. Followed Kwok's advice. Looks like i applied a wee bit too much of TIM the last time. The whole core was covered with TIM and some were out of it! Cleaned the whole thing and applied as recommended (size of a grain of rice) and the temperature seems to be lower (by 2 - 4 Degree Celsius). This is of course in the middle of the night, where the ambient temperature is about 26 - 28 Degree Celsius. Will test tomorrow to check its consistency.
  5. Thank you. Its quite a relief to read your post. I guess my proc is from the "good batch" ? I see. I did read that too much of TIM could cause an increase in temps as well. Should i reapply the TIM?
  6. The amount of TIM that I applied is probably equivalent to the size of a pea, maybe slightly larger. Backplate is installed Well, I am living in Malaysia, a tropical country so its quite warm here. This temperature is recorded at around 8PM. It gets warmer in the morning / afternoon, up to 32 - 33°C. I'll work on my cable managing skills. Tried it before, it seemed okay, then I had to replace a few components as i was pre-ordering parts and it became haywire. Will try soon if everything is confirmed to be okay so that i don't have to mess with the components again.
  7. Hey guys. Below is my rig: i5 2500k Asus p8z68-v 4 GB Kingston Value Ram DDR3 1333Mhz x2 4 GB Kingston Server Value Ram ECC DDR3 1333Mhz x2 (Salvaged from my server) Leadtek Winfast Nvidia GTX580 Coolermaster Silencio 550 Casing Coolermaster Hyper 212+ Cooler Artic F12 PWM fan (4 units) Pictures of my Rig: The Full view of the fans 2x Artic F12 PWM (Push / Pull Config @ Hypermaster 212+): Front Fan (Push / Blow): Rear Fan (Pull / Suck): *The thermal compound used on the processor is Arctic mx-4* The I5 2500K is clocked at 4.5GHz Below are the specs: 1. AI Overclock Tuner: Manual 2. Turbo Ratio: By Per Core.... 3. 1-Core Ratio Limit: 45 2-Core Ratio Limit: 45 3-Core Ratio Limit: 45 4-Core Ratio Limit: 45 4. Internal PLL overvoltage: Auto 5. Load-Line CalibrationL: Auto 6. VRM Fixed Frequency Mode: 350 7. Phase Control: Extreme 8. Duty control: Extreme 9. CPU Voltage: 1.195V Offset Mode: Offset Mode Sign: + CPU Offset Voltage: 0.030 Real Temp temperature after 30 minutes of Prime95: **Ambient Temperature in my room : 30°C** Basically, after fitting in the heatsink (Hyper212 +), I screwed it as tight as I possibly could. However, given some force, i could still turn the heatsink around. Not much but I am afraid that it might cause the temperature to rise. For some of you guys who are using the hyper212+ cooler, is this the same with your setup or is your cooler fixed to its position that you cannot move it even by applying any pressure/force? Are my temperatures normal?
