i saw gt ppl use msata SSD...there r two type of SSD?

mSATA SSD usually using for caching, but of course u can also install OS inside, but speed will be slower than normal SSD and they are also SATA II only

There are mSATA SSD SATAIII...

You won't be putting that inside a notebook

yeah... ada geng using intel 330
well, take time to read the optimization guide & probably some stuff from The SSD Thread V3, The speed you need

oh yeah~will read it.

thx man

dvd/odd slot is sata2 speed... i swap it out

ya...

'
msata port is sata2 speed meh? i tot sata3 for y580

Well u need to test out lo, I think it should next sata 2 only

so far no1 can confirm this... differing answers from the internet..

if you look through this thread from the start, it's mentioned multiple times that on Y580 HDD slot is SATA3 while ODD slot & mSATA slot is SATA2

Guys new official NVIDIA driver is up :claps: :claps: :claps: :claps:

finally... whql driver

hello bro, im planning to buy Y480. Is there any big difference between i7-3610 & i7-3630 ?
And can i put ssd and replace the dvd rom with hdisk caddy? will it void the warranty? thanks in advance for any reply. Im in tight budget.

Now downloading the WHQL driver....

It's not too much different, if I am not mistaken the 3630 is the replacement model for 3610. All new batch of Y580 should be containing i7-3630.
It does not make sense for you to go for 3610, unless that you have a budget constrain and the vendor willing to cut the price for you.
If so, does it justified for the amount of price cut in return of sacrificing 100 Mhz lor.
If it is affordable, extra juice will always be good as backup for future purpose.

for normal use , i5 is enough. any i7 proc is overkill. so it is up to u to choose 3630 or 3610

The I7 is mainly for gaming, as well as the graphic card inside it

uh no.... i5 is enough for gaming.... i7 is more for heavy use like video rendering etc...
that's why there's no need actually to go for i7 if there's i5 alternative as most likely i7 wont be optimized fully

Barely any games make use of more than dual core other than real time strategy games, the quad core just means unnecessary extra heat. But yes quad cores are extremely useful for rendering purposes.
