Obviously I had to use WinRAR,but that doesn't give you a .bin file. Can't things jsut be simple and posted as the usable file needed to begin with? Why do things have to be made complicated?

I've returned the Ergo 4000 for refund and bought the Logitech G-15 wich I'm now typing on.It'll take some getting used the regular KB type again,but sofar myh typing actually matches that of the Natural/Ergo's I've been using for the last 10 years. All in all I love this Logitech G-15.

Motherboard or Memory Problem?

I'm assuming you kow that the RAM goes in either 1 & 2 or 3 & 4 slots to function dual channel. Also set manual timings for your specefic memory and adjust voltage according to your mem. spec's I'm using Corsair XMS3200XL 512 x2 without a hitch @ stock timings of 2-2-2-5-1t and 2.75v

The best case for the money???

Antec P-160 or Antec SLK-3700BQE. 120mm fans.I swapped PSU right away on my 3700 BQE to a NeoPower 480. Oh,and don't reuse old fans.That's just plain stingy.Put some new stuff in and rest in peace knowing their lifespan isn't already shortened.Plus newer fans tend to run a bit quieter.

Stock speeds = 3200XL Overclocking = 4000 At stock speeds the 3200XL with tighter latency timings will perform better,but when you move to overclock the extra bandwidth comes into play.To match speeds the XL would have to be timed loosely.At some point during overclocking you'll get...

And unfortunately MSI placed the CMOS jumper in the most idiotic spot in on the entire motherboard.It sits just above the floor of the case on the most bottom end of the MB,right under the last PCI slot. And that's the slot that's favored for add-on soundcards. So everytime I need to reset,I...
