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

    @notareal, when you said that "[Speedfan] can change CPU fan speed smoothly, but will only report SYS Fan speed." did you mean: A) It can only control (but NOT report) the CPU fan speed, as well as report the SYS fan speed or B) It can report AND control the CPU fan, and monitor-only...

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

    Has anyone tried using SpeedFan with this board? I currently use SpeedFan on my K8N Neo2/Antec Sonata to control the speeds of both the CPU and HD fans based on a variety of temperature readings, and also to monitor the speed of the rear fan. Can at least 2 of the K8NGM2-FID's fan headers be...

    Which S939/NF3U board w/passively cooled NB?

    I'm trying to build a somewhat quiet but decent gaming system around a Winchester core A64-3500 and my Leadtek 6800GT AGP (2-slot cooler). Currently I'm using a MSI K8N Neo (NF3 250Gb/S754) which has had many problems, but has the big advantage of a passively cooled NB. In my experience, the NB...

    6800GT videos play very dark on monitor

    I'm using a Spyder calibrated Dell 2001FP on DVI as well as a ISF-calibrated TV via Svideo output. When viewing the desktop, photos, 3D games, etc, the two monitors look virtually identical. However when watching videos, the overlay on the desktop is very very dark, and the full-screen mirror on...
