MS16F2 along GTX580M (dell, rev3)

Bit quiet on the MSI front, what's going down guys?

I see tanderson is part of the long list of users that have defected to the dark side.

i saw that too...pretty shame.

Lol, well I have actually been using my comp lol, you know for games and the like

[tanderson]

Me? Jump to the dark side? Maybe....

I gave into temptation...

The only thing I miss so far is the Matte screen, less reflection but the 18 is like a tank....

You've moved to a different weight class now though.

That's like comparing s super heavy weight to a middleweight....

All in all, I enjoyed the MSI and would definitely be a top choice. I just found a refurbished with a year warranty (and upgradable, which I like), got a good offer on my MSI and knew I could not afford a new 4500 M18x (refurbish was half that), so I jumped on the opportunity.

Wished MSI would make the warranty transferable, make the resell a little easier.

All right, just upgraded my no-name 4 DIMMS 1333 to 8GB HyperX PnP 1600. I didn't expect any improvement in game but got them for a good price so just thought it was worth trying them.
Benchmark speaking, gave me some improvement as well as boosting my CPU:

No I think I'm done with my msi16f2.

No problem.

i de-soldered it just to see what's in there and found nothing but a PCB hole:
