TheModMonster reacted to WoodenMarker in Good 1080p Monitor?
I'd suggest going with a decent IPS panel: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/acer-monitor-umqg6aa001

I'm still considering to get one of this.
Philips 224E5Q
LG 22MP67HQ
Both range on $150-160, 1080p, IPS Panel, and HDMI Ports.
why considering? because I still have 3 working monitors.

TheModMonster reacted to Glenwing in Refresh Rate and Monitor Opinion/Que
It's 60Hz. It can do up to 75Hz but not at full resolution, you have to change it down to like 800x600 to enable 75Hz refresh rate.

TheModMonster reacted to jprig6 in Refresh Rate and Monitor Opinion/Que
I use the VX228H and it has worked great for me so far. Going strong for a year and a half now. I think the refresh rate is around 60 but I don't mind. Then again I am not a hardcore gamer that the most out of their monitor. But it works fine with games like TF2, Shadows of Mordor, etc.

You could go with something like this. http://www.amazon.com/Black2-Dual-Drive-2-5-WD1001X06XDTL/dp/B00GSJ9X4Q
It gives you 120GB of SSD storage for your operating system and other small applications and a larger 1TB drive for the bulk of your storage.

TheModMonster reacted to Captain_WD in Laptop Storage Upgrade Questions.
Hey TheModMonster, As @Vegarg suggested, you can check out WD Black2 drive. It combines a 120GB SSD drive with a 1TB HDD drive. Unlike SSHDs, this is actually a dual drive and the two separate portions of it are treated separately, meaning you can use the SSD as your boot partition and the HDD as a secondary or multiple secondary partitions independently all in the same 2.5" form factor. Here's a link with more info: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=RXnYJe Captain_WD. -

BX100 is the slowest of the bunch, but it's the most efficient and cheapest.
Samsung is the fastest of the bunch ( does not really affect you since your laptop probably has SATA2 anyway)
MX100 is just a good ssd.
Btw jupiter has no surface so having a road should be complicated.

They are called Galaxiens, but right now I am visiting Earth. I think this place is called Ammurikah. Its not Mars. Its Jupiter.

TheModMonster reacted to Str_Mape in Intel Xeon?
A Xeon at the same speed as an i7 will perform the same and will cost quite a bit less.
The price - performance of a Xeon is far better than an i7 at stock clocks.

TheModMonster reacted to G33k 4 L1F3 in Slow Laptop?
p.s.(original post TL;DR)
sound like your bad ordeal is over?
If you get around to it too, get your hands on thermal paste, and if you want, replace the original with yours.
some tips:
1.try not to run a whole bunch of programs on start up. this can cause even a well build desktop to lag a bit.
2.do not have an abundant amount of programs open all at once, this can cause alot of the slowdowns.
3. If you are confident, disable your antivirus from running when you do not need it to. This can improve performance 2 fold.
4. Run CCleaner on a daily basis, this can improve start times, software boot times, and even improve read speeds from the HDD when you delete unused registry keys.
5. Plug in when playing games. higher quality games require more power to play. when running off battery, your laptop automatically throttles back the power usage, and when you try to play games, it will not perform well. when plugged in, your laptop is able to use all power it needs to play the games.
Hope the problems you had stays fixed ^-^

I finally downloaded Garry's Mod with about 450 Addons. It did load them all. In about 3 minutes it loaded up a world (not bad). So I think the Refresh solved some things. However I lowered the settings to Medium and I hit 55Fps. Great! My temps got up to 75C though. But I know it was not a complete waste of time. I launched a 720p youtube video ON HIGH POWER SAVING MODE! It launched without lag! I used to lag on Balanced! I think there may be a bit more dust. So when I get my hands on some bottle'd air, I hope it will stop getting so HOT! (Most laptops now days, don't get that hot on FULL load.)

Thank you guys for helping. I will first reinstall the OS. If that doesn't help, I will buy a new HDD, then thermal compound. Thank you so much.

I just did a System Refresh. I ran Heaven Benchmark 4.0 at the same settings. The results were... The same. HOWEVER; the graphics just looked better. Right now I am installing steam, to see if can load Garry's Mod with all of my addons.

We use HDD Scan 3.3 - Reads Smart Status and does surface scans like MHDD. HDTune will show you how many run time hours your hard drive is (based on if it is set to ACHI in the BIOS).
That's a whole lot of reading for me to scroll through. lol
Usually when you have slow speeds you have to factor in:
A: does it still have the original hard drive
B: do you have malware or virus scans going on

TheModMonster reacted to Tedster in Slow Laptop?
Try messing with your Power settings. Make sure everything is favouring max performance?

I will do that now, but I had speedfan open when I played games, they stayed in the 70sC
