is there a program to find out what chips are hiding under the ram heatspreader? like cpu/gpu-z.

I dont think so but it would be very handy indeed. SiSoft Sandra i will check right now for you.

I know now for a fact that users can browser invisibly and hide so they are not on the Users viewing list. Some of you must be either unaware its turned on or are switching it on and off.

haha you got a world more knowledge than me on the subject mate,i just try brute force stuff and hit it if/when that doesnt work

i'm not too kind on things that don't work either...

could be tabbed browsing causing the problem, user posts here flicks away quickly to other tab as active users only updates when you refresh

I can see why your wife hides her face when shes around you.

Yea w1zz only added the invisibility thing recently. It's turned off by default but you can turn it on if you want.

its always just resized them in the past, theres a few threads about that, and erocker put it in without resizing it (Unless he did it and didn't tell me)

 

[MilkyWay]

I just checked and SiSoft Sandra and it only gives the ram manufacturer and model not the actual chips used. I dont think you can tell the actual chips used for the ram unless you look at them. Feel free to correct me if im wrong because it would be awesome to be able to tell what it is without taking the heatspreaders off.

Must be a problem at your end, definitely try another browser.

 

[MightyMission]

just a thought,but if you know your stuff you either wouldnt need to ask or i guess enough googling will turn up the ram chip details anyway,i was hoping for a lazy way..

i wanted to take apart the ripjaws i had to see if they were really what the stickers on the heatspreaders claimed because it was nothing short of a nightmare getting them to do the rated speed

That was bugging me for months though? Users would post and not even appear in the Users viewing section. I was assured they had just turned on the invisibility thing. So every time it happens i know for a fact they are using the invisibility thingymabobjigger.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

What sort of chips they are, are usually spread by word of mouth. Ive been in Guru3d and Xtreme Forums where they had an entire thread dedicated to keeping people up to date with the makes, models and batches of RAM that were using D9 chips.

lol I literally just posted the answer to that in the other thread!

I don't think people are messing with it, it's just that the "Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread" thing doesn't update in real time like the posts do. I have, say, 3 tabs open at a time and I'm posting in 3 different threads, but I'll only show up as an active user in one.

yes, its was sneakypeets fault, he caused me to change mine, then i think other people to changed to see if my avatar breakage was the same for them

it also helps its a friday so people have more time to screw around with their accounts

 

[scaminatrix]

Yup, and I managed to pull up cheesy's old avatar and jacked it for Doctor Who. It's a big Dr. Who avatar orgy

 

[MightyMission]

i didnt realise i had disabled the show avatar setting,i guess it was from when i was using my fones interweb,so i enabled it then thought i better add one myself.

its gone through about 3 people before me, i've been using edited versions of mods avatars lately therefore = DR.WHO theme

YOU STOLE MY CHICKEN!!!, i only just noticed your using loads of bits from my past avatars

 

[MilkyWay]

For the record i hate Dr Who, its fucking terrible.

Please, if erocker or sneakypeet (or even TATTY) are listening change his avatar to Dr.who

EDIT:Close enough, why do i always get a parody of what i'm asking?

EDIT: Okay so apparently its good for gaming the Dell IPS uses CCFL which has slightly better coverage but the colours are more vivid on LED.
