    How to keep FaH at highest priority?

    Yes. It varies. When it's set to low priority, I get maybe 3000 PPD. When it's set to Realtime, and I'm home all day, setting it back to Realtime every couple of hours, I get upwards of 7,000. Back before nVidia's CUDA drivers for my 780 Ti were broken in a driver update (and on a platform way...

    How to keep FaH at highest priority?

    FahCore_a7.exe is the 32-bit executable that runs the algorithm. By default, it's set to run as a low-priority task, at least with Win10 x64 Home. I use my computer maybe 25% of the day or less. The rest of the time, I want it to use every bit of power my computer has to run various FaH. I can...

    joeybuddy96's quest for 1950x cooling components

    I've been lurking in the forums for over a week reading up on water cooling. Here's my rolling component build spreadsheet, an amorphous system that keeps getting upgraded. I started with AMD's list of compatible cooling solutions and made a sheet listing all of the ones they claim to be...

    A few new drives... think they'd miss them? ;-)

    I've got three ST3000DM001 drives, only one of which is used as an OS host drive. One is for backup, and the third one is used as bulk storage in an SSD OS host system. I've experienced failures multiple times with Seagate drives (that said, Seagate's current 6TB drive . The capacity used on the...

    Are there any drives that are 4k logical

    This is from a clean UEFI AHCI enabled install of Win8 x64 Preview on a ST3000DM001 connected to a SATA 3.0 port. The result is 512e. C:\Windows\system32>fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo c: NTFS Volume Serial Number : 0x1080c55580c541c8 NTFS Version : 3.1 LFS Version ...

    Fastest Theoretical SSD Build?

    The X9DAX-7/i(T)F line from Supermicro are the ones that support OC'd RAM. The only differences between the four boards are the drive ports and network ports onboard. The X9DAX-7TF had the fullest feature set out of the four that I looked at, but board features are not relevant when you plan on...

    Fastest Theoretical SSD Build?

    The board mentioned in the spreadsheet markets itself as being able to run up to 2133 overclocked RAM. http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z9PED8_WS/#specifications It uses the E5-2600 family of procs. I can't think of how they could market it as being able to OC unless it ran in a single LGA2011...

    Fastest Theoretical SSD Build?

    anandtech is good for benchmark comparisons. They cover SATA SSDs mostly; there aren't many PCIe test results. The documentation for the 48 lane 8747 bridge up to the 96 lane 8796 said they supported PCIe 3.0. http://www.plxtech.com/products/expresslane/gen3 The 8764, 8780, 8796 bridge can...

    Fastest Theoretical SSD Build?

    1 Supermicro: Supermicro's socket 1567 4P boards don't support PCIe 3.0. One of the socket 2011 4P boards I looked at from Supermicro, the X9QR7-TF, assigns two PCIe slots to each CPU, with CPU1 limiting 8 of its lanes to its onboard X540 controller and 8 to its RAID controller. It has a total...

    Fastest Theoretical SSD Build?

    @-Dragon-: Going by the theoretical numbers, a single port on a 10Gbit/s card should deliver 1.25GB/s, and a dual-port 10Gbit/s card should deliver 2.5GB/s. For a 30GB/s SSD spam system spread over six PCIe x8 slots, it would require twelve cards to break even with the bandwidth. You're right...

    Fastest Theoretical SSD Build?

    Did you have any particular boards in mind? There's several dozen from each manufacturer. For the purposes of this thread, the emphasis is on SSDs performance, so one of the first criteria would be the number of PCIe lanes dedicated to the SSD cards (ideally, there would be one chip for the SSD...

    Fastest Theoretical SSD Build?

    For those just tuning in, Lost-Benji is probably referring to my rolling build list linked in the OP. The number of PCIe lanes supported by the CPU isn't important since the motherboard PCIe chipset will handle it (the maximum number of lanes is forty on the 3970x and E5-2690). PCIe 3.0 has a...

    Fastest Theoretical SSD Build?

    Here's the working link (updated in the older post too): 1 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApzIz1YSh_e7dEZYb3RORFZxU21jUDh0MWRRSkhhcUE&usp=sharing 2 It sounds like the only way an array would work with PCIe based SSDs is a software managed system, in which case there should be a...

    Fastest Theoretical SSD Build?

    I'm trying to find out what the fastest performing SSD setup would be, irregardless of price and risk of data loss, limited only by technical considerations, for the purpose of scientific curiosity. My rolling component build of an optimal system...
