Got the 17" Sammy SyncMaster 731b in the mail today that LaughingMan cut me a good deal on. It's taking some getting used to (haven't used multiple monitors in a while) but I think I'll have fun with it. Using DisplayFusion Pro for the wallpaper and taskbar management. It's a great program, even the free version is good (Pro is only ~$23 from their website).

Got a new Seagate 320GB hard drive today.

Also moved my Cooler Master 80mm fan to the hard drive bay area. The light from the fan was shining towards my bed and keeping my GF up at night. *Sigh*

Hockster · May 21, 2010, 08:21 AM

Got a couple of new toys as well.

Radical_Edward · May 21, 2010, 08:26 AM

Nice dude. Going to run those in RAID?

Hockster · May 21, 2010, 08:34 AM

Probably not. Windows and regular apps on one, games on the other. My Steam folder was around 150GB, but there's a few I rarely play anymore.

Radical_Edward · May 21, 2010, 08:44 AM

Ah. Sounds like good times to me.

Hehe thanks.

The pics are taken by my iPhone so quality is not the finest. But you get an idea about my setup.

Just a question here:

Am I the only person in the world lining up the "qwerty" section of my keyboard to the center of the screen?

Your centered "Dell" logo is somewhere around the Enter key. I mean centered with the "6" or "G" key being in the center of your screen, so excluding the arrows and numpad.

brandonwh64 · May 21, 2010, 01:20 PM

So like this? if so i def couldnt do that cause i have to be centered

Yeah like that. It's centered for pure typing purposes. I type alot, at work too, and if I use my keyboard for a day and it's not centered for typing, man, you don't want to be my shoulders/neck.

brandonwh64 · May 21, 2010, 01:28 PM

LOL! yea i type a lot too but i don't type like how the typing teachers wanted me to LOL i don't use the "Home keys" or the "typing fingers" I actually have my own typing style i taught myself at a very young age and i couldn't break it when i was in typing class.

I never had a typing class in my life, but I tend to type something like traditional 10 fingers blind. I just always forget all the things around the letters so I have to look anyway.

brandonwh64 · May 21, 2010, 01:37 PM

i dunno but its weird. i really dont have to look anymore and it like my finger have a mind of there own

Somehow your statement and your pic do not tell the same story...

brandonwh64 · May 21, 2010, 02:08 PM

Ok i got a huge question! Ive got this ASRock board for my HTPC and i have been doing some OCing and it clocks pretty decent and i was gonna OC the NB but i was looking in the bios and cannot find the NB voltage. I went to the board specs pages and it says "VCCM, NB Voltage Multi-adjustment" so doesn't that mean i can increase the NB volts? will NB volts limit my CPU OC?

A785GMH/128M

mlee49 · May 21, 2010, 02:34 PM

First thing, if you choose to overvolt the NB make sure your case airflow is good. That passive heatsink is going to heat up the entire case when it gets hot(BluRay/gaming, plain DVDs are fine).

Second thing, usually there is a NB voltage control within the bios. If it doesn't have a standalone NB control then may have a NB/SB control.

brandonwh64 · May 21, 2010, 03:05 PM

Ok here are my OCing bios settings. It allows me to change the CPU voltage, DRAM voltage, sideport voltage, and mGPU voltage. what is the sideport?

ALSO!

I found a modded bios on the net but didnt want to have a bricked bios so i remebered i had a bios from my old M4A79T Deluxe board that asus sent me. So what i did was i found it and went into the bios on the board and got it to the ASRock Instant bios flash page with the bios on a thumb drive. then i carfully took two small screwdrivers and popped the orginal bios out and installed the one from the ASUS board. i then hit enter to start the flash and i was amazed that it flashed it. so it rebooted and BAM! newly flashed bios! HAHA! now i have two bioses incase one get corrupted or a flash goes wrong.

Thrackan · May 21, 2010, 03:09 PM

Sideport is "special" memory for the onboard GFX.
