    MSI P55-GD80 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    I ended up using a Zerotherm Core 92 cooler. It was the best I could find that only uses the stock Intel mounting solution (ie. 4 plastic pins you have to push in, no mounting bracket). Be careful if you take this route though because the pins really are a pain to push in.

    MSI P55-GD80 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    It looks like the H50 has a mounting bracket that goes behind the motherboard. Do you know if your GD80 has a surface element as mine does? I have some pictures that illustrate what my motherboard looks like on imageshack here. I'm wondering if there are multiple revisions of the board or...

    MSI P55-GD80 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    Anyone care to comment about what heatsinks they have working with this board? I had the same problem that johngalt47 had with his Hyper 212 Plus - the mounting bracket would not fit due to a surface element. I am using the stock cooler now but am not very happy with it. It looks like I will...

    Looking for a Bluetooth gaming headset

    Hello [H], I've been searching for a good bluetooth headset to replace my wired one. I was looking for something comfortable to wear for hours at a time, etc... and then I read about bluetooth profiles on wikipedia. From what I understand, all bluetooth devices must support one or more...

    Can't get my RAM to cooperate. Help?!

    Eww... well, thanks. I guess I won't be using this extra RAM any time soon... Instead, I think I might buy two of these 1GB sticks (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146545). Those should work in dual channel mode, right?

    Can't get my RAM to cooperate. Help?!

    Well, I knew you had to use pairs of even-sized sticks to run in dual channel mode, but I figured if I occupied both channels with unevenly sized sticks that it would just default to single channel mode but with four sticks... Is that incorrect then? I really don't care about dual channel mode...

    Can't get my RAM to cooperate. Help?!

    I have an Asus A8V mobo, A64 3000 (not rev.E, or Venice, iirc), and some RAM. The ram is as follows: one matched pair, 2x256MB. one stick, 512MB. one stick, 256MB. All sticks are PC2100. The lone 512 and 256 sticks are generic, and the pair is Crucial. There are two pairs of slots...

    X800 Pro --> PE (maybe) or X800 XL? Thoughts?

    Looks like the Toxic version has the blue PCB. Do all Toxic X800 Pro VIVOS have the 1.6ns RAM? Anyway, the price diff between Pro VIVO and XT looks to be about $60 for the PCIe versions, less for a Toxic Pro VIVO. Given that even the Pro is a bit too expensive for me to stomach at the...

    X800 Pro --> PE (maybe) or X800 XL? Thoughts?

    Eckies. Too bad about the Pros... perhaps an XT is in my future... Though with prices what they are, it seems it would not be the near future. Yeah, that's where I found the XL, but then there's like $8 shipping.Ah well...

    X800 Pro --> PE (maybe) or X800 XL? Thoughts?

    Looking to do a major upgrade here. Currently have an XP1800 and a softmodded 9500. Gonna buy A64 3200 Winchester, Asus A8V-E Deluxe, maybe new RAM and PSU. And a new videocard. I'm currently debating whether I should get the X800 Pro VIVO and risk that it might not unlock/overclock...

    Locked HD, how to access?

    I have an HP laptop that has this "DriveLock" feature that supposedly prevents access to the hard drive even if it were removed from the laptop and put into another system. Seemed like a good idea, so I turned it on and set a password. One bad BIOS flash later, I can't boot the laptop...

    XP SP2 or not?

    Sorry, I tried a couple searches and came up with a lot of irrelevant looking posts. Guess I didn't try the right search phrase. After several more tries, I still cannot find a good thread - could you recommend a search phrase? Thanks!

    XP SP2 or not?

    Hello there fellow [H]ard|Members, I have been putting off the installation of XP SP2 for a while now. When it came out, I heard vague rumors of "problems" caused by the new SP, so I delayed getting it. Any reason why I should or shouldn't go ahead and get it now? Thanks.

    A mouse? A mouse for my laptop? But which one? Tell me what to buy!

    Fair enough. I guess a cord won't kill me. I was planning on playing games every once in a while - I suppose wireless mice are not good for gaming then? EDIT - About the MX1000... I read several reviews for it. All seem to like the button placement and feel of the mouse better than the...
