    PCI-E Software RAID Card x16 for up to 4 M.2 SSDs

    I'm not at all proficient in Linux, so to do anything in there would certainly be a struggle for me.

    PCI-E Software RAID Card x16 for up to 4 M.2 SSDs

    I can make the second disk a simple volume, or make a partition on the second disk as a simple volume from the unallocated space without issue. I cannot even make a simple volume from the unallocated space on the boot disk. When I try to make the volume it gives the same error.

    PCI-E Software RAID Card x16 for up to 4 M.2 SSDs

    So, I have the 4x version of the Gen 3, two slot Amfeltec card that I'm using with 2 x 128GB Plextor M.2's. My plan was / is to eventually get a few Samsung 960 Pro's at 1TB each, and then do software raid 0, just like the OP. I have these small drives now just to test the following setup to see...

    I'm using RSC-R2UG-A2E16-A, and the high quality 3m cables, one 250mm, and one 500mm. These were the only cables I tried.

    How did you know that without seeing my GPU-z on Windows 10? ;) It was GPU-z that detected my VRAM as 4GB in Windows 7, however, you happen to be absolutely correct! Windows 10 properly detects the correct amount of VRAM, so that could make all the difference in the scores. I think a good...

    Soooo.... I installed Windows 10 on a separate HDD just to see the results compared to Windows 7. My score increased over 4000 points in Firestrike (stock settings - no GPU overclocking). Too bad I despise Windows 10 with a passion. The most notable difference in the monitoring section if you...

    Thanks for that, I don't think the 92mm Asetek is going to work due to its radiator thickness. I'm definitely open to it though if it can possibly fit because it should provide better cooling than a Corsair H60 for example. My hunch is though that I'll have to sacrifice the cooling ability for...

    I plan on mounting the gpu's with a bracket sideways and vertical where the power supply would normally be. This makes the GPU DVI ports a non issue. The power supply will be horizontally mounted where the fan on the back of the case would be. At least thats the plan so far. I'll be using...

    I've been in contact with John. Nice guy and quick response times. So I guess my question would be the following: How can you get the raw computation power from those monsters *if* for arguments sake the bandwidth is capped? Doesn't every application rely on the amount of bandwidth available?

    You beat me to it! Though I was honestly going to try 2 x 64GB first. You've got guts, keep us updated! I have to say though, I'm not so sure you are going to get amazing performance with those Titan X's. I'd love to be wrong, but my score seems really low for two 1070's in SLI, so there may be...

    So there are two very minor issues I've noticed that are still there: 1) I get screen tearing while in SLI when scrolling up and down with the middle mouse button on webpages (I'm using google Chrome). Never had this before. Changing the "Vertical Sync" setting to "Adaptive" helps some, but it...

    I have resolved the slow boot issue completely by enabling the "Above 4G Decoding" setting in the bios, as well as enabling the "Above 4G Decoding Patch" setting as well. If you don't enable the patch setting, you can't see the post screen (even though it posts) and therefore you can't see the...

    Success suckaaaaaaaaz ;): Can someone tell me that I'm the first known example of a fully working 64GB RAM, 2 x 1070 Mini ITX SLI? :whistle: Seriously though, big shout out to Chemist_Slime for being the initial Guinea Pig and getting all this going and testing all these riser...

    Right now I'm going to try a SuperMicro RSC-R2UG-A2E16-A. Receiving tomorrow I think. Being that this one is specifically listed as "active", I'm thinking that it could potentially bypass bios issues with bifurcation since it would be doing the signal splitting rather than the bios (at...
