    AM2 MB BIOS Chip - Problem with OCZ RAM (FYI)

    I just found out that my AMD (AM2) motherboard's BIOS chip only supports RAM voltage up to 1.8V. My OCZ RAM that I have installed is 1.9V so MSI is shipping me a new BIOS chip that will support the higher voltage. Has anyone else run into this problem?

    Importance of hard drive cooling?

    You shouldn't have a problem unless you're running 10K RPM HD's. The 7200 and lower are built to be run warm. Also, aren't those two from 80mm the intake? Where are you relocating your intake? Just a thought... :)

    New AM2 Processor Install

    I'm picking up my new processor this evening (4200) and was wondering if I will need any thermal gel? I know that some processors use the pre-applied stuff so you just peel off the strip and you're good to go. Anyone know how AMD handle's this? I'd like to pick it up on the way home if I need...

    Question about LianLi case (Cooling)

    That's what I figured. I should have looked into the fan assembly more before I purchased. Oh well, I'm not planning on OCing very much so I'll leave well enough alone. Thanks much for the reply,
