Bird Bird Bird Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Are Dell monitors not covered under 3years of warranty? Anyways if you have sent them invoice, I guess they will provide warranty. EDIT - lol, just checked you mentioned power cord was loose Yeah even I thought it's covered for 3 years. Anyways mailed them again for an update on the warranty status. I checked all the plug end of the monitor with so many sockets, but it never occurred that the monitor end of the cable could also be loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Aight I'm gonna go kill myself The power cord was loose from the monitor's end. Shoved the monitor to recheck the Serial number & the thing sprang back to life. :| :| N00b me Reminds me of The IT Crowd: "Hello this is IT? ... Have you turned it off and on again? ... Have you checked that the power cord is inserted? ... Thank you" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixke Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 And got a call from Dell.. It's under 3 years warranty And it's on-site service, right? There is a reason why I prefer Dell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 BTW can the warranty extension be possible on monitors ? or is it just on DELL laptops & desktops ? My Dell SP2208WFP 3yr warranty is gonna expire in June or July 2011 , so far haven't encountered any problem from my monitor , DELL rocks.

ram87 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hey guys! Help me select the right graphic card for my pc. I already have a PALIT HD4850 but it has gotten old and no longer offers the same performance as before. I plan on upgrading to a new card and i need sound advice on which card i am gonna choose. 1. HD 5850 2. HD 6850 3. HD 6870 These are the three cards in my budget and i am in a dilemma and i do not know which to choose. Here are my RIG specs Processor : AMD PHENOM X4 9950 BE Ram: 4 GB DDR2 (Transcend) PSU: Cooler Master EXTERME POWER 600W SMPS MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H I know that the ATI HD6850 card can be overclocked to extreme ends but i am also confused if every card can be overclocked. I also know that the 5850 is also a powerful card and the HD6870 is not a slouch either. Here is the OCC CLUB linkOCC CLUB Even if i narrow it down to any one card which is the most preferrable i.e, in terms of the seller. Which is the best Sapphire,palit,Powercolor,XFX,HIS or ASUS? I will be thankful if you can point me out to the right card. Thanks, Sriram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtheK Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 why not Nvidia cards...wats your budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 phasing out should not be a concern, GTX 460 is a steal in around 10k and handles almost all the games full throttle in full HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram87 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 His budget seems to be in the 15K range. Given that the GTX460 is going to be phased out and the 570 being around 20K odd gives him slim pickings from Team Green. Unless you count the GTX470 but then again that's being phased out too. Yup man. The Nvidia fermi is going to be phased out and i saw that the 6850 could be overclocked to over (940+)core clock using msi afterburner or Gpu tool... But still fermi is a good card. I have a samsung monitor which supports max 1600x900 res. But i thought of getting the new 68xx series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a ZOTAC is around 11k, the palit is around 14.5k... itwares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) 1600x900 res- what's that? Shouldn't it be 1440x900. Sooooo decided to OC the GTX 465 - Crysis crashed, after showing some nice artefacts on screen. Can someone explain the relationship between core voltage, core speed, and memory speed? If I bump up the voltage do I need more cooling? Is Sam brave enough to try this if his desktop has cooling?

W!z@rd Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Core Voltage is directly propotional to Core Speed (Frequency) & heat emission. If you increase the core voltage by 100%, the frequency will also increase by 100% (ideally). But with 100% increase in core voltage, the amount of heat generated will increase by 800%. e.g. If your GPU originally emitted 10 W of heat at 5V, it will now emitt 80 W of heat @ 10 V. Cooling is most important if you want to hike the core voltage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
