It says it's at 60 Hz, which is the recommended setting, but the lines are still there. There's a setting called Phase which says it "allows you to remove any horizontal noise and clear or sharpen the image of characters." It sounds exactly like my problem but changing it doesn't do anything.Orellio said:

I'll be building my new PC soon and I think I would like to use RAID 1 with two of my hard drives so that I can create some redundancy in my system.
I have 3x 250gb HDs and I plan to install Win7 on one of them and use the other two in RAID storage.
I thought I read somewhere that Raid1 doesn't guarantee data protection even if one drive still works. Is this the case?
Secondary question: If I already have data on one drive, can I then setup the Raid 0 and mirror the data to the 2nd drive (so I don't lose any data while setting up?) Or, do I need to completely empty drives to setup the array.
THANKS!

Alright guys, please help me out 
.
At the end of 2007 I bought myself a brand new PC with lots of cool stuff. But at that time DirectX 10 supported carts were rare and not so good as now, so I chose the Sapphire X1950XT which was one of the last great DirectX9 cards. I enjoyed it until now, because more and more games are demanding a DirectX10 compatible card. My system is still pretty decent and fast, so I don't have the urge, nor the money, to upgrade everything or buy a new PC. And because I'm out of the scene, I really want someone to advise me what graphic card to buy, because that's the component I wish to upgrade to make my PC last a little longer before I can safe money to buy a new one. So, any thoughts?

RAID0 just connects the drives, so they appear as one with the space of both. You can't RAID0 an already RAID1 drive, afaik, what you want is just RAID7 once you have 3 or 4 drives, which gives you a little of both, by creating enough redundancy that if one of the drives fail, the remaining ones can rebuilt the data once the missing drive is replaced.
Your RAID1 data is definitely 100% protected from one of the drives failing. It is however not protected from both drives failing, or from you actually deleting files, by mistake or intentionally.
You usually need to format drives to configure their RAID status, but I guess software may vary so I have no idea about needing to clear the drive first. If you do, it should force you to however, so it will clear the drive as it RAIDs it, meaning you should backup anything important first... I'd do that just to have the security that if I picked an option wrong, so I don't lose everything.

Where is the GPU scaling options in CCC?
Ok, got my new RAM in again and want to be 100% sure that I have it set right this time. Can someone double check this for me and let me know if I should alter anything?
First off, these are the settings listed right on GSKILLs site for my RAM (Ripjaws F3-10666CL8D-4GBRM):
CAS Latency 8-8-8-24-2N
Capacity 4GB (2GBx2)
Speed DDR3-1333 (PC3 10666)
Test Voltage 1.5 Volts
PCB
Registered/Unbuffered Unbuffered
Error Checking Non-ECC
And heres photos of my settings in the BIOS. The values on the right side are what I custom set.

Looking at getting a new PC in the next month or two. If I can help it, I'd rather not build my own. I know pre-built machines are a little more expensive, but are any of them fairly good? Is Dell a good manufacturer, I see some good looking deals on their site, but are the machines trust worthy? What about pre-built Acer or Sony machines? I'm sitting on a 6 year old computer, and badly need an upgrade but don't want to bother with building it... (also since I'm inexperienced I'm sure I'll fuck something up :lol )
Hey guys, I've got a build for a friend here. He originally didn't want to go above $500, but my build is above $600 at the moment.
59.82 - Antec Three Hundred Gaming Case (should I switch it to the Cooler Master RC-310-BWN1-GP Elite 310 ATX case for $40?)
$75 - MSI Socket ATX Motherboard 770-G45
OR
$85 minus 10 MIR + tax - ASUS M4A77TD AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
$100 - AMD Athlon II X4 630 95W AM3 2MB 2800MHz Retail
$139.99 - XFX Radeon HD 5750 1GB DDR5 PCIE Graphics Card HD575XZNFC
$75 - Western Digital 750 GB Caviar Black SATA 7200 RPM 32 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive WD7501AALS
After mail in rebates, these last two will be $162.83:
A-DATA Gaming Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ500MXSP 500W ATX12V V2.2 Power Supply
Total is about $613. I wanted components that are good (quad core, good ram), but also components that would be good investments (the antec case, power supply). Any suggestions for saving a few bucks while not crippling the computer?
I have DVD drives and extra 120mm fans already.

WHere are you based?
If the States or Canada spec up a custom machine at ncix and pay the $50 assembly fee. There's a lot more benefits to a custom rig than just the money you save initially.
Having said that, building a computer is easy and its a great skill to have as it makes all future upgrades/purchases/tweaking much easier.

You can get a 5770 for the same price as you're paying for that 5750 (after a $10 rebate anyway), its a huge leap in performance and highly recommended.
I'd take the Sonata 3 + Earthwatts 500w PSU bundle personally.

Any help input on what parts I should be looking into/ordering to build a new PC?
My goal is to run Starcraft 2, and the upcoming Capcom PC games on medium settings while still being able to run a video recording program, and to play both on high when not running one. Only thing I'm set on right now is the 5770, its the right card at the right price everything else is flexible. Price wise I'd like to stay as close to $600 as possible but have no problem going over, just means less I'd have to spend on a new monitor. Cooler and quieter parts are preferred if it means a slight sacrifice in performance or future upgrade ability, though I'd still like the ablitity to upgrade in two years. Best place I'm looking for price savings is hard drive, I have plenty of externals so I have no need for a TB internal drive, and even 500gb would be excessive.

A 5770 should max SC2, and Capcom games, even while recording. There's no reason you'd have to drop GPU settings record/compress video, that is going to be CPU / HDD performance, which I'd be suspicious about a USB external drive being up to the challenge. Definitely would say SATA >>> USB, and I'd advise against making your recording HDD the same as the OS drive, or the drive housing the games, if you want the least amount of issues. You'll probably be fine though, as long as it's not the OS drive.
I don't think you're going to be cutting a lot off your price by not including HDDs, a 250 GB Samsung F3 is like $45 (1TB is only $90), and that's basically the fastest non-SSD you can buy without spending ridiculous amounts of money for questionable gains.
I'd say get two of those HDDs ($90), so you can put your OS one one, and your recording on to another, and you'll be as good as you could hope for. Combine that with a 4 core phenom CPU, and you'll have plenty of CPU leftover to keep up the compression.
So I need to give my boss a plan for two new items in our small business office:
1) He needs a new server. He's running some ancient shit with 32gb storage and the operating Windows Server 2000. Most of our current accounting software is not supporting this OS after this tax year. He wants Server 2003, but I think we'll run into the same effing problem a couple years from now. I'm pushing for Server 2008. We don't need something fancy, and storage at the MOST would be 500gb. Even then that's overkill.
2) One of our offices needs a new computer. At least a cpu with 2 cores, nothing super fancy, but something that is fast and will handle ram heavy applications. Shelf life of 3 years at the least. Storage, again, isn't a huge issue.
His budget is $1200, but I figured that would be the server alone with the software needed.
My budget proposal: $1500
Can we make that happen GAF? Thanks in advance.

It's been talked about quite a few times over the last few pages I believe. Only real "con" is that it has a 128Bit memory bus, but as it's GDDR5 it's still faster than GDDR3 with a 256Bit bus at least. Other than that, pretty much the best card for that price range.

Go directly with Server 2008 R2 as that is the latest server code base, which is the same as Windows 7.

Hi gaf, how does this look for a new build:
AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition 3.1GHz 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 Retail Boxed Processor @ £68.88
Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3 770 Socket AM2+ 7.1 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard @ £59.08
Will use this to unlock the 550 to quad core and hopefully overclock to around 3.8GHz. Erm, I've emailed ebuyer asking them if it's the new rev 2.0 or 2.1 of this board which does have a SB710 chipset. Pretty sure it is as in the reviews section people from 6+ months ago have talked about unlocking 550's.
OCZ 400W Stealth XStream PSU - 140mm Fan 1x PCI-E 4x SATA @ £24.99
Antec 300 Three Hundred Case @ £43.00
Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 1TB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache @ £61.99
Graphics Card, 800MHz DDR2 RAM and optical drive will be salvaged from old PC.

Prologue Type S Alpha
So I ended up jumping on a refurbed HP Elite w/ Core i7 920, 9GB DDR3, and a GTX 260 (1.8GB).
Cost was more of a concern than ULTRA-MAX performance (this thing was $799+shipping), and I have this connected to my 46" Toshiba LCD TV (DVI to HDMI converter).
My question is: am I limiting my max frames per second by connecting to my TV? According to my TV's manual, both the HDMI and VGA ports are limited to 59Hz (not 60 --- 59 --- weird). I'm noticing that with the few benchmarks that I've run (like SFIV), my max and average fps don't go over the high-50s.
From everything I'm reading, it seems likely that the TV's refresh rate is the culprit for the low fps numbers, but I thought this would be a good place to ask.
Thanks in advance!

I need a 4pin molex to 6pin PCI-express power cable.
Radio Shack? Best Buy? where can I get these quick
Also,
I need some blank pci brackets to cover the gaping hole in the bottom of my tower. I lost/tossed them long ago.
Additionally,
I need two plastic drive bay covers. Maybe fry's has all of these parts and I'll have to go get them tomorrow

GAF, my friend needs your help. His PC will not turn on at all. No signs of life from any component. I thought it was probably a dead PSU (it is a cheap brand after all). Would I be correct in my guess?

I am going to be building my first pc in the near future and I have my eyes on the Athlon II X4 630 or the Core I5 750. I only use my pc for games and the net and I want to run Dragon Age, Borderlands and some newer stuff at decent settings. For $100 less, the AMD seems really nice. Would I really notice a difference between the two just gaming and internetting? And, could someone plz recommend a mobo for the AMD?

Hello GAF. I haven't used a PC for gaming in ages. Currently my main PC is a netbook, so looking to build a rig to satisfy some gaming needs.
Budget: $500-ish (give or take a $100 if necessary)
Main Use(s): Gaming and streaming media through PS3
Monitor Resolution: Plan on using my HD TV with PC input. I don't recall the model of the TV, but it supports 720p and 1080i. Will be using my TV exclusively with it.
Mainly looking to replace my 360 (red rings again! I done with this shit. FU MS!). So i'm looking to pretty much play the multiplatform 3rd party outings. Would like to have them play on par with x360 quality, perhaps better, and something that'll last a few years and play some of the games lined up for the next year or so.
Don't let me down GAF. I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks guys!!

Everything here go well together? Any additional parts/pieces will I need to get (other than the tower and PSU) to put this all together? Wires I may need that don't come with the parts or something?
Is there an i5-750 build of comparable price?

Well the i5-750 is a $200 processor on a platform with more expensive motherboards, so no absolutely not.
Don't buy the 635 its completely shitty value. You're paying 20% more for less than a 5% increase in performance, and its an increase in performance that can be had with 5 minutes BIOS tweaking.

Looks good to me. A core i5 would probably bump up the price a good $100-$150 minimum unless you can jump in on that deal posted earlier in this thread. If you plan on overclocking that CPU, you won't see a huge difference between the two processors in the majority of games anyways though if you're planning on gaming at high resolutions. I recently built a buddy a rig using the coolermaster USP 100 case/psu combo. I'm not crazy about coolermaster PSUs as they have poor power efficiency and the one I bought last had noisy capacitors, but it seems to be working great for his $570 CDN (taxed and shipped) budget build.

Hey guys, what's a reasonable and safe way/amount to OC a Core i5 750 2.66GHz 8mb cache CPU for someone that's never done any OCing before. My PSU is this if it matters.

Wait, they're gonna launch with a 3.2GHz part? I kinda feel bad pulling the trigger on my 965 recently (even though I got a really good deal on it).

Woah, those clockspeeds are way higher than I expected. 3.6ghz turbo? Wow indeed.
Hopefully AMD's turbo mode works on older boards. Pretty cool that all those GAFers buying cheapie Athlon X4s already have a great and affordable upgrade option with more goodness on the way. So say thanks to uncle brain_stew, for looking after all of you
