Official MSI GX640 Owner's Thread

What notebook coolers will work best with the GX640? I'm interested in the Zalman NC1000 or NC2000, but not sure if it will line up with the GPU's air intake.

Wait for the Zalman NC3000,

I'm waiting for it now as well.

The CFM would obviously be better on the NC3000 series

than on the ZM-NC2000 that I currently use.

the NC3000's look really good, EXACTLY what I want in a cooler. 3 USB ports and AC external power, +pumps air EVERYWHERE.

ETA?

Nice. The performance for the price is great.

I am intending to get NC3000 as well, once i've place my order on the GX640.

If i am not wrong, the ETA should be in april or may...

Did any of you guys take the stickers off the GX640 when you got it?

[Tree_Burner]

i took mine off. i left the i5, the ati, and the windows 7 sticker on.

So I just had a question about doing a fresh install of windows 7. I have made a windows 7 disk from an .iso file. Do I just boot up the computer using this disk and use the Windows 7 key that comes with the laptop to re-install it?

Also, I know many laptops come with a recovery partition. Do I want to get rid of this (and if yes, how so?) or is it best to keep this partition just in case something goes wrong so that it can be recovered back to factory settings?

how come people are getting such a huge range of temperatures, like min getting only 84 in MW2 from his review while some people are getting over 95-105 in other games? what's the ambient temp that you guys are in?

There's a dedicated thread for posting about GX640 temps here, so that's probably the best place for the discussion.
