    I intend getting the Gigabyte GA-Z87MX-D3H. The manual states ( under Fan Speed Control ) : Are these adjustments 'permanent' or only applied only when EasyTune is running ( ie, when Windows with EasyTune installed is booted ) ? For eg. if I use EasyTune to control fan speed and then boot...

    IB G1610 is $49 while G2120 is $99. Would a average/typical user ( non-gamer, non-development, email/browsing/chat/music/video ) notice a difference between the two ? Any reviews of G161x G20xx ?
