If it helps I ended up going for the Samsung LS24E650, but it was close between that and the LS24F350.

Holy crap, I had to double check I hadn't written this post! I have a Samsung 226CW that is doing the exact same thing, and is also 12 years old. It's definitely the monitor, it's been doing it for years but slowly getting worse. I also came here looking for my next monitor, because I don't...

Soooo... It turned out that even though my motherboard has three full size PCIE slots, only two of them are 16x. The one I had my 560 plugged into was only 4x. Thank you for all your help, it's running plenty faster now!

Hi everyone, Thank you for your many and in-depth responses! I'm going to take it apart and re-do the thermal paste - I did this before a few years ago but perhaps the dust and heat have dried it all out, as efish suggested? Although, if this was the case wouldn't I see temps higher than the...

Hi guys, I've got a potential problem with my graphics card, and I was wondering if you could tell me if it IS a problem, or normal behaviour. The problem is that it just seems... rubbish. It's a 2GB MSI GTX560Ti Twin Frozr II OC, and the game I'll use as my example is COD Modern Warfare 2...

Hey guys, thanks for the replies :) I've tried cleaning it out, and even redoing the thermal paste. I've also played around with MSI Afterburner, but it doesn't seem to make much difference. I think the main problem is now that I don't have much room, the PC is kinda wedged into a corner so...

Hi folks, I'm looking for a bit of help regarding an upgrade that may seem rather odd, but bear with me... I'd like to upgrade my 2GB GTX 560 Ti for a fanless 4GB GTX 1050 Ti - but given the age of my PC (2.83Ghz Core 2 Quad, 8GB RAM, motherboard only supports PCIE2.0) would I run the risk of...

Just to let you all know, the whole removing the heat spreader thing seems to have worked. Looks like it was loose, so wasn't feeding the heat through to the heatsink! Need to run it for a few days, but already idle temps are much better.

Played up at work today, and has been jumping around again at home :( Gonna see if I can RMA for another one. Thanks for all your advice guys!

Thank you all, the advice I've received from everyone in this thread has really helped me decide what I need to do: Cut my loses. Someone on another forum pointed me toward this: http://www.overclock.net/t/1156145/official-guide-modifying-removing-nvidia-gpu-heat-spreader-ihs Seems a bit crazy...

Under load between 95°C and 102°C.

I don't use a mouse mat, just the desk itself. Similar beech desk to what I use at work where I've been trying the mouse for the past few days. Had no problems with it there, and it seems to have quietened down at home now too. Just every now and then, it'll sort've jump to the left when I'm...

I tried doing that, but the fan / clock settings I set only took effect for a few seconds after I applied them. After that, straight back to 100% fan usage....

This is the GPU I have: http://uk.msi.com/product/vga/N560GTX-Ti-Twin-Frozr-II-2GD5-OC.html I got it because all the reviews said it was both powerful and quiet. However, whilst I found the first bit to be true, the second not so much! The first card I had I had to RMA, but it was super...

Haven't got another system at home to try it on, though I could take it into work and use it there. Will do that on Monday. 100% sure there's no hair or anything though. I've looked at the sensor with a bright light, nothing reflects. Happens on both 3600dpi (max) and 2000dpi. Haven't really...

Nope. Only input devices I have connected are mouse and keyboard.

Purchased a Logitech G400 a week ago from this very site, everything is groovy except every now and then the mouse does this (managed to capture it with my phone): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4z0n_yNKTs You sort've notice something is wrong as the mouse isn't responding well to your...

I'd ordered a Q9550s from somewhere before I realised what my benchies were like. Gonna whip that in when it finally arrives (from Hong Kong) and see how it improves. If poo I may re-sell it and go SandyBridge. Gonna be limited to socket 1155 though as I don't want to have to fork out for triple...

Decided to benchmark this game during a recent multiplayer match (Conquest, Caspian Border). Here are the average FPS results for each setting (1680x1050): Low: 47 Medium: 46 High: 43 Ultra: 34 Is it me or are these ridiculously low? Running the rig in the sig... is the CPU going to be the...

Awesome. Guess I've made up my mind then. Thanks everyone!
