    Does a HDD fail out of the blue?

    Backup the data you can and replace the drives. I have seen drives come back like that, but generally they will fail again.

    Hypervee and game performance on windows 10

    HyperV installed with no VM's running would have negligible overhead on your system. There is a service running but that is about it. On your system listed in your Sig, you won't notice a difference if it was running or not. As to your question about VMware player Pro/Free, I would suggest...

    Possible Shipping Damage: Best Way To Test NAS HDDs?

    I agree this is best practice for enterprise solutions, but for personal use I think this is a bit overkill. Out of all of the HD's I have ever purchased, I have only had one bad drive. Not worth the effort of hours or days of testing to see if a drive is bad.

    Possible Shipping Damage: Best Way To Test NAS HDDs?

    If the retail boxes are undamaged, I would just use them. If a drive does die, that's what backups are for.

    Recommend Heatsink for i7-3970x

    I had ended up ordering the Noctua off of Egg before seeing the follow up posts and I also did not see the Cooler Master Evo when perusing the Egg. This is probably due to the way they sort Intel socket coolers. After receiving the Noctua, I am impressed with it's size and apparent quality. I...

    Recommend Heatsink for i7-3970x

    I picked up a Noctua NH-U14S for it, no overclocking in mind and no, I don't have AC. At least not in my computer room. Most of my servers are located in a cool basement but this rig and my gaming rig will be upstairs in a separate yet warm room. A new portable AC unit may be in order. :)

    My bad, the system has an Intel cooler on it, assumed it was stock. I will check out the Noctua cooler. Thanks
