When the system is up and running, i can reboot without problems from Windows yeah. :)

It's hard for me to test with a different GPU. The PC works fine on the i7 igp, but i don't have any other...

Hi guys,

Been a long time since i posted here, but i was running into some issues with my system and was hoping you could help me out!
I've been using this build for 2 years now and for about 6-8...

Pretty interesting article, thanks.
What i am actually trying to find out is which of my before mentioned solutions will get me the best results (or if they are actually very close to each other)....

Hi guys,

Lately i have been looking at a few options for 'Xtreme' I/O and storage.
I was looking at a solution that involved S-TEC ZeusIOPS SSD's which have pretty remarkable specs.
Then after...

You're welcome.

PS.

When you do create the new RAID array, be sure to test with a few stripe sizes.
Normally, the highest possible 4k QD1 random read speeds are obtained by using a 4K stripe...

If you want to work with the means at your disposal, i'd suggest:
- Putting all 3 drives in a single RAID0 array (and make a few partitions to sort your data).
- Backup images of said partitions on...

Not trying to sound nitwitted or na?ve...but is the controller cache (RAM) non-volatile in any way, on this new controller?
I really dig these hardware solutions, but a non-volatile cache would make...

Yeah, information on this software seems very scarce on the internet.
I have sent them an e-mail asking to see if i can get some answers.
If it actually keeps a sort of pagefile and can operate...

I hope this stays on-topic enough, because i have no intention of hjiacking your thread but ......

I know you are using a RAID controller with hardware caching, but have you ever tried...

Hey,
Thanks for your response.
So i guess your insane 4k speeds are mostly due to the DDR on the controller?
The latencies that AS SSD reports on your usage with the Areca seems neglectable?

Hello Steve,
Yeah Windows 8.1 is working fine for me.
From past experiences, the performance i have seen compared to w7x64 is always the same if not better.
You think these stats are okay?
My 4k...

Interesting topic since i was currently experimenting with this (using some other SSD models though).

I have a serious suspicion my onboard Intel RAID controller is holding me back?

Here is 4 x...

So are you saying even on later batches Intel still didn't change anything to the coolant solution?
Or are they perhaps affraid to run into cold bugs like they did with some early Core 2 series?

Guys,

I haven't read through the entire thread, but uhm... how are normal and OC temps on the current batches of Ivy Bridge CPU's ?
(The above temperatures seem very good to me i think?).
Has...

I have the exact same issue! :shrug:
All drivers installed. But Windows 7 keeps telling me there is an unknown device on Port#/Hub# 4/7.
I unhooked all devices from my PC and after a reboot, the...

Thats a lot of information again, thanks! :)
Yeah even though some people are recommending me Intel boards (for possible ESXi compatibility in the future) i am drawn very much to the Gigabyte/MSI...

Hey guys,

Thanks for sharing and thanks for the offer (PM) @ bot@xs. :)

There are many reasons for the hardware choices i made.
The core i3 for example... it has very nice idle power states...

Hi all,

With the soon-to-be-widely-available 4TB drives i am looking into building a power efficient home storage server.
I am looking for a server that shouldn't come over 50 Watts of power use...

I just got a little fed up with Logitech headsets. I had a Logitech G330 and a H760, both neckband headsets and with both headsets the neckband broke inside their warranty period (even though i take...

I wanted to run my 2600K on 4GHz (for 24/7) use.
Got it OC'ed now and set the Vcore to 1.250 v (CPU-z always seems stuck at the wrong voltage for me... ???).
Are these temps OK?
...

Just finished installing my new rig into my own case this evening. :)
Everything was going perfect until i noticed that my Windows logon loading time got raped!
After continuously searchin what the...

The latest benchmarks on my new RAID0 array (2 x Intel 510 SSD 120GB). Im happy. :)

What was wrong with the memory on other the BIOS version then?

Because i am noticing something strange with my memory latencies....
In my BIOS the Latencies are set to 7-8-7-24 and in CPU-Z,...

Thanks for the info. :)

I recently got me a Z68X-UD7-B3. Really liking the board so far, great quality.
I tried to run Memtest(+) but each time i do it doesn't seem to want to run right.
Now i read somewhere this is...
