    A couple of questions about replacing a capacitor on my mobo...

    I have a cap that's swelling and I want to replace it before it becomes a problem, it's a 6.3v 3300uf cap rated for 105c. I found this on ebay and I was wondering if it's ok... (mine also says KZG on it...) Also any general tips/recommendations would be great (like a link to a guide...) Thanks!

    The *Official* MSI K8NGM2-FID GeForce 6150 Motherboard Thread

    I started having problems last week where my comp would freeze randomly, and to make a long story short it turned out to be the SATA cable attached to my OS hard drive. I replaced it and everything is fine, this is the cable that I got with my mobo and I just thought that I'd let everybody know...

    HELP!!! Using SATA optical drives while using RAID (how do I do it?)

In the bios I can choose whether sata ports 0-3 are "raid", "ahci" or "ide" and under that I have the option to make ports 4-5 either "same as 0-3" or "ide" (port 5 is the esata port on the back) so i made the first one raid and the second one ide so that only gives me...

    HELP!!! Using SATA optical drives while using RAID (how do I do it?)

    I made a RAID 0 array and in the BIOS there is an option where I choose to turn on RAID to make SATA ports 4 and 5 work independently of the RAID array (4 is a regular port and 5 is an eSATA port in the back) but I need 2 SATA ports for optical drives... How do I do that??? TIA
