Ram- 2*1 gb 1333 mhz Transcend (Life-Time warranty :) )- 1.8k
Tagan 600w- u37 - 4.3k
cabby (Reaper) 1.5k
1 TB - seagate - 4.6k

I m planning to buy 22' monitor
Benq- g2220hd - 9.2k
In the overview it shows 40000:1 ratio but in specs it says 10000:1.... which of the one is true??? Or please suggest a good one...
And how about HD4850 (budget under 9k) Palit or XFX or sapphire ( their price diff too)??? which one is better. . ???
Help me out guys... Thanks in advance... :)

both are misleading. They are about Dynamic Contrast Ratio which is like Digital zoom in cameras. Look for typical CR.

for a 22" display, I would pick Samsung 2233sw if you want to buy in market. Lot better than G2200HD.

^^ first i was confused with latest bios which shows 59 idle

shocked ! then downgraded to my stock bios which came when i bought the mobo , then it shows perfectly

anyway in yahoo answers many of them told that , donot trust in Core temps for phenom 2 , cause there is core sensor for phenom 2 yet !!

Why did you go back to the older BIOS. You should stay with the latest BIOS, since it is optimized and an upgrade version...? Is the latest BIOS 'actually' causing you Cores to heat up more..or just reporting incorrect.

Try realtemp/hardware monitor/everest for temperatures, and see which is correct or incorrect.

To those fellow members who asked about my Temp Condition.

After Installing Cooler master Hyper 212 with Dual Fan (LED) 69.99 CFM in Gladiator 600 Cabinet accompanied with CM's one 120 mm (non LED) rear + one 140 mm Side cooling {came with cabinet} (Due to heavy Hyper 212,I need to mount it side) + One front LED (Transparent) 120 mm fan {Came with Cabinet}...Total Closed Box

Idle Temperature of Intel D 3.2 Ghz 940 is now below 45'C - 47'C as registered by Speed Fan & Intel Desktop Utilities.

Where as before (with stock heat sink) It was 57'C - 59'C with Side open + Ceiling Fan On...some time it need pedestal fan.

I don't have any game...so can't test with that...but I use Adobe Photoshop and other resource hungry program and intentionally at the same time,but it struggle heard to reach 50'c.

When converting some video for my pod then it is 50'C,once it done again go back to the 45'c-46'c. During the time, there was no source of air in the room unless one table fan for me.

I know this is not a real test unless a game shoot on...but I am happy with this performance..as I am not a gamer.

Thanks for reading.

Hyper 212 is a good after market cooler. gosh..it is so so big. But it keeps my CPU cool. it never goes beyond 48C...no matter what I throw at it (i.e. stress it).

If you want to stress it out..try OCCT or Prime95 (2 worker threads)..it will heat your processor good..but believe me..the Hyper 212 will keep it nice and cool...!

^^ u r saying that because u used dual core with low power , use Quad core with higher clock & also corei7 like that processor

try Q9550 , AMD 940 , 955 , corei7

Then see Hyper 212 temp !! recent coolers should be tested with quad core not dual core

Quad cores heats up more than core 2 duo

Hey...

What you mean..YOU ARE saying that..of course I am saying that. It is true. How is a good cooler designated...

1. It has a good contact surface.
2. Has good heat dissapating area.
3. Is easily compatible with current systems.
4. Does the job -- keeps the CPU cool.
5. Does a better job then the benchmark ------> stock system.
6. Is affordable.

I guess the Hyper 212 fulfills all this. I never said that the Hyper 212 was the BEST in its league, but yes it does the job..and it does it quite well. Much much better than stock..I am sure, on i7s and Quads, the Hyper will beat the pants off the stock coolers. But YES if you want to compare to other after market coolers...then this is a never ending story..! :)

And you can have your pound of flesh... read this..it is not that far behind the Thermalright Ultra-120.
