    CPUID Hardware Monitor

    Which one are you concerned with? The only dodgy one I can immediately see is CPUFANIN1 'max' reading and that could be a fan sensor problem.

    How do I uninstall the nForce4 IDE/SATA controller drivers permanently?

    Download the latest version, disconnect from the internet, safe mode, uninstall all nVidea drivers in add/remove, run DC Pro, install latest drivers and don't take the option to install the IDE driver? It's been a little while since I did it.... Also tried removing from the control panel -...

    Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H User Feedback?

    Thanks but unfortunately the cheapest GPU locally is ATI HD3450 @ AU$39 and an add-in firewire card is $AU15-20 taking the G31 option up to AU$126 minimum.

    Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H User Feedback?

    I'm looking for a cheap s775 MB with integrated GPU to pair with an e7300 or similar to replace my aging s939 box. I was initially looking at the GA-G31M-S2L @ AU$72 (my work PC uses one) but I want DVI and Firewire onboard too and add-on cards would take the G31 well over the price of the...

    ASUS 939 Mainboard

    A quick Google reveals comments that it's a custom made µATX MB for HP/Compaq and is only supported by HP, drivers are hard to find etc etc. I'd only buy it as a last resort.

    Is this S939 board suitable for my needs?

    The Foxconn nForce 4 boards are not renowned for their overclocking ability - the opposite in fact. A quick Google of reviews will reveal the reviewers disappointments... Sorry.

    New Pentium in old server?

    New Pentium in old server?

    I've got a Dell SC430 Server running 24/7 with a Pentium D935 CPU which I presume will be chewing up the power. Can anyone advise if the more efficient Pentium E series or similar CPUs will work on this board (Intel E7230 chipset)?

    Abit warranty question

    Rumour suggests they will cover warranty for a year after the change then you're on your own. If they go out of business then you're definitely on your own :D

    Will X58 Be compatible with "Wolfdale" CPUS?

    Correct You'll be able to use s775 on s775 MBs but not on LGA1366 MBs. Not sure why you'd want to anyway.

    Is it time for me to upgrade my nforce4 mb?

    Does this box do what you require of it? If so. don't upgrade. If it doesn't do what you need of it - upgrade but look at what's coming soon too.

    Oh well, no big cjhange for us Aussies as they're boards have been extremely difficult to source for a long time. Hopefully they'll have the great looking IX58-MAX motherboard as their swansong.

    Gigabyte GA MA78GM still a good budget recommendation??

    Are you talking GM (rev 1.0) or GPM (rev 1.0)? My GPM NB runs nice and cool at around 40c and I've verified that with a probe (ambient is currently 20-25C). That's in contrast to an NF4 NB that ran 5-10C hotter in the same room with aftermarket HR-05 cooling... Maybe the larger heatsink...

    Gigabyte GA MA78GM still a good budget recommendation??

    Current availability seems to be ATX form factor only at the moment (unless you can find a DFI LANPARTY JR790GX-M2RS) in case that is an issue.

    780G / 8200 motherboard roundup?

    I ended up with the GA-MA78GPM-DS2H and and am more than happy with my choice. I was thinking of waiting too but don't need the overclocking abilities of 790GX or RAID5 as I have a server.

    There were good (& thoroughly discussed) reasons why the 690G & P35 roundups didn't appear and I'm sure there is a good reason why this hasn't either. I always look forward to Gary's articles & blogs but if I need reviews of a product now and his haven't appeared then I'll look elsewhere and...
