Lol what do you want to know ?

This is purely for benching purpose, not to be used in my Home PC. For that I have DFI P45 DK + C2D E8600.

As for RAM, I have Crucial Value DDR3 3GB kit which has D9JNM memory ICs on them.
In short, even if they are rated at 1333MHz, they can do 2000MHz

As for HSF, I would mostly be using TRUE or Kogage or Noctua while benching with 2 x 120mm high CFM NMB fans.

Benching meaning...? You work for a testing company..??

GPUs, well depends. GTX 275/GTX 260/GTX 295 and so on.
RAM, as i said, my Crucial Value Ram
HSF, mostly TRUE or else my copper pot for DICE/LN2

Benching - Benchmarking. Running benchmarks at overclocked speeds.

I dont work for anyone. Overclocking and benching is my hobby which I do in my free time

[asigh]

Ok..that is nice. But how you get the equipment to test and bench. Doubt any hardware vendor will hand it over for testing..?

Well apart from GPU, I buy almost all other parts.
Even this board and CPU is purchased by me,not sent to me for testing.
GPU are given to me by a dealer friend as and when required.

[azaad_shri75]

^^ cool, nice though.

[keith_j_snyder2]

So darklord returns with X58 classified material!
Nice!

[Krow]

[darklord]

Sure will once i get some free time to bench

Yeah seems boxy. Appears to be resized without keeping the aspect ratio. The image has a widescreen monitor but it doesn't appear so on looking on the image.

Congrats.

[asigh]

^^ does the above monitor also give 1920x1200. Then what is the difference in DELL 24" which also gives 1920x1200 also. Is it just the 1" hypotenuse difference, or is it something else.

Sorry am a noob regarding monitors.

No, it gives only upto 1920x1080. 1920x1200 is 16:10 while 1920x1080 is 16:9, so 1920x1200 has a bit higher pixel count(vertically) than the 1920x1080 one, that's the only difference.

[desiibond]

Microsoft wireless optical mouse 3000. paid 930 bucks and am sure i would've got it for 100 bucks less at SP road.

But 16 : 10 ratio monitors reduce FPS in games more above 20%

thats y HD monitors 16:9 which they bring SIZE + FPS , but the pixel density & clarity on games which is good in 16:10

Less 20% with reference to what..?

Why would this happen..?

Less than 20% to 1920x1080, this will happen as 1920x1200 monitor has higher no of pixels than 1920x1080, so more pixels mean less performance, that's all.

Yea, ok..got it...but this fails right if someone has enough GPU power to render the 1920x1200 easily.

If we go by the above hypothesis, then upgrading monitors always means...loosing performance, but we compensate with better CPU/GPU.

[desiibond]

^^of course, going for a better monitor always results in loss in fps. And a better GPU means more load on PSU, which means that if you upgrade monitor and current GPU can't drive it, you may need to upgrade GPU+PSU.
