    Which GAP insurance company?

    Sorry for the late reply, only got around to doing this now but I bought the car for £14k and WeBuyAnyCar value it at £12k. This is my first car so I thought why not get GAP insurance just in case. I have checked with ALA, it's £160 for 4 years (Back to Invoice Plus GAP).

    Which mATX board for G4560

    Yes, I know they are all out of stock and would need to get them from elsewhere. Would it not work with just the 4 pin CPU connector as the CPU is only 54W? I have been using the same power supply for a AMD chip that is 80W.
