    What is the coolest running 2TB/3TB drives?

    I would opt for green drives from Western Digital in this case. Hitachi's coolspin drives should be good as well. But with either drives, their spindle speed will be 5400-5900 rpm so you will lose some performance. I have the seagate's green drive but I don't find them any cooler than their 7200...

    Pentium or Core processors?

    Nope. It depends on the TDP for the processor in question AND the effectiveness of the thermal solution in place on your laptop. Some laptops overheat with a given CPU and some don't due to a more efficient cooling system and better chassis design (aluminum/magnesium dissipates heat).

    Sabertooth x79 + 3930K, 1.35v vs 1.5v / Best Corsair RAM?

    If you know you won't need that much then why do you want that much? Yep, just make sure you can pay your next cell phone bill :rolleyes: Honestly I don't see what you are even trying to ask. If you are set out for Corsair and you are also set out to get 16 GB then why ask? Just go and get it.

    another upgrade advice topic

    For gaming yes but will you notice the performance difference? NO You can do anything you want - it's your money. But unless you are unhappy with the performance of your current system, you may be disappointed with your upgrade.

    Gaming PC - $800 budget

    Looks like that friend picked a wrong friend :D I'm not much concerned about what CPU/RAM you get for him - there are many choices for that - most will be fine and you will have as many number of answers/suggestions as the number of people who will post here. But if he is indeed a Biochemist in...

    SSD cahing non os drive?

    I couldn't disagree with that more when it comes to loading game maps. OP, with the SSD cache, you will improve the access times and that's exactly what you need for loading game maps. The caching algorithm works with words (in bytes) using LRU algorithm and write-back cache policy (research...

    another upgrade advice topic

    Looking at your current rig, for gaming you have a fairly moderate machine. What's wrong with it exactly? But if you still have money to blow, then get a new graphic card. Preferablly nvidia 670 which will cost you about $500 give or take. You want to reuse the graphic card for an upgrade...

    64 gb of ram, if and how

    +1. The fool and his money are soon parted. Glad to hear let us know how it serves. But I doubt you will notice any difference because you already said it is not your need. As with most replies here and the one quoted above, I would have spent my money elsewhere - I noticed your rig doesn't...

    Best Way to Organize and Access 3TB+ of Media With Existing Equip.

    Calculate the total capacity for all drives. Then DriveBender them into 4 aggregated drives. Put two of them in Raid 0 and two of them in Raid 1 for backup. Use the Raid 0 to store your data and Use Raid 1 volume to keep it's backup.

    64 gb of ram, if and how

    Much like how it will work with 4 or 8 GB. I can tell you it won't do your laundry. But heck, 64 GB is a LOT!. Unless you want to fit an enterprise database directly onto your ram, I really don't see any compelling reason why you want to go with a 64 GB mammoth. For that money why don't you do...

    Good Brand/Model for 670/680/7970

    Depends on the customer and their software requirements. If you take a general approach to this question - you will be left with the "best selling" as opposed to the "best for you".

    HDD to SSD clone. Must be done and what's best?

    Really - says who? And If anyone told you that, likely she/he is a douche-bag and knows nothing about technology. Use Clonezilla - unless you like reconfiguring windows and wasting time. I can tell you that in your case, a reinstall is NOT necessary because you are only swapping the hard...
