    Cooler for a 18.4" laptop

    Thanks, sirmonkey. I know that the performance of the cooler is relative to vent positions, but with laptops of this size there is a very narrow window of products available to choose from. I've got the Enermax Aeolus and I'm trying it right now. Ordered the Thermaltake Massive23 CS as...

    Cooler for a 18.4" laptop

    Hi. I have an Acer Aspire 8930G. The laptop gets a bit hot at times and I want to stick a coolpad under it to cool it a few degrees. Googling about the issue I seemed to understand that the best cooler available for such a big laptop is the NZXT Cryo LX. If cannot but it because it seems...

    Acer X233H vs ASUS VW 222 S

    Hi. I've been looking for a while for a cheap LCD monitor to attach it to my 15'4" laptop. I wanted nothing special. Just something easy on the eyes to use when I'm working out of home. I went to the store today and found those two screens in the title for the same price (189 €, both...

    Another mobo advice thread: Abit IP35 Pro vs Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R vs MSI P35 Platinum

    Well my friends, I finally found a board so cheap I couldn't resist. I've bought an MSI P35 Neo2-FR and I don't regret. The CPU is not so lazy. The chip hits 3.2 GHz stably even with undervolt with this board, and there is 0 vdroop at those speeds. Zero-effort overclock! I guess it will clock...

    Yep. Version is 1.0. Any chances that this may mean that my CPU is not as lazy as I suspect?

    OK, I sorted out my mind about this. Thank you everybody. I have some feeling that it may be the processor what is hindering OC, so I won't gamble with a new P35 mobo at the prices they are today. The system works beatifully for now and I have plenty of power for my needs. I'd maybe pick...

    Thanks everyone who bothered to answer. Very helpful responses. You guys rule :) As for the NIC on PCI on the Abit IP35 Pro, I couldn't care less. I have thrown in the case some El Cheapo Ethernet card which handles better than I can ask my slow 3 MB/s ADSL. Don't have local network neither...

    Another mobo advice thread: Abit IP35 Pro vs Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R vs MSI P35 Platinum

    Hi there. First post here, so greetings to everybody in this forum. I'm hesitating about whether to puchase a new P35 board or not. I have now an MSI P35 Neo-F. While it does well, it seeems somewhat limited in overclocking regards. It requires 1.6v on the processor to get it up to 433x8 MHz...
