780G Chipset Motherboards Roundup

Since the number of motherboards based on AMD 780G chipset gets bigger and bigger, we decided to compare them forthright and to identify possible differences.

Kingston DataTraveler HyperX

We get used to test fast RAM memories from Kingston Company. Hyper X brand was, until now, associated with fastest RAM modules. Still, Kingston decided to utilize this very recognisable brand on other Kingston products. So, thanks to that we were introduced to Kingston DataTravel HyperX USB flash memory.

Force3D ATi HD4870

Radeon HD4800 series of graphics cards is real refreshment in these days. Every new generation of GPU brought a big shift in performances and ATi this time showed us that top model graphics chip (RV770) doesn’t have to be expensive.

Logitech G5 v2
Testing and Conclusion
Package is in distinguished Logitech colors, and G5 is placed in center of magma ring, wherefrom crackle pattern of mouse is emerging. Without opening boxes you can notice main trumps of this version of G5 mouse – new design and return of second button on the side of mouse. Content of the package is already familiar, and includes frame (this time it is blue), and boxes for weights as well as CD with drivers and users' manual.

At first sight you will notice that upper surface of mouse is now covered with crackle black-blue texture. Official name of pattern is crackle blue, and Logitech ensures us that due to process of drying two paint coats, originated pattern is unique for each mouse specimen. This two-layer coat not only has aesthetic role, but ergonomic as well, since this type of rough texture gives us much more pleasant feeling during longtime work or playing on computer, providing better palm cooling. Material for mouse sides has also been slightly modified, consequently reducing roughness, but improving support for thumb and pinky finger. Sole fault characteristic for using materials with rough texture might be more frequent necessity for cleaning of all mouse surfaces and only time will tell about endurance of the texture.

 Logitech G5 v2

If we look more closely into weighted cartridge, apart for theme blue color of holder and removing LED diode from bearing, we will see another modification, new rubber rings used for affixing weights. Reason for this substitute is response to users’ needs originating from the frequent loss of weights with previous G5 version. Weights and their number remained the same, eights 1.7 g and eight 4.5g weights. Laser sensor is unchanged comparing to previous version mouse, 2000dpi resolution.

 Logitech G5 v2

Beside with return of second button on thumb, new G5 offers actually nine programming buttons divided into groups: left, right and middle button, two on thumb, two buttons for changing resolution of mouse, as well as left and right scrolling. Starring in new G5 , thumb buttons are at the same position and with same dimensions, as with MX518 model, meaning that most used button during work on computer, performing function of „back“ button in Internet browser, two times bigger than its match, „forward“ button on thumb. Scroll on the mouse leaves impression of big inertia and more pronounced step, due to bigger resistance during scrolling, comparing to original G5 and MX518. Only fault of scroll mechanism is that it requires harder press the scroll than to move it aside; therefore, if tip of your finger is not aligned with scroll you could easily activate shift aside instead of pressing middle button.
