    What's left from a thermal pad after 3½ years...

    Thanks a lot for all your informative replies! Before doing the job and going to the store, i've both compared AS 5 and Ceramique and have found by reading the specs that Ceramique have a thermal resistance of <0.007°C-in2/Watt (0.001 inch layer) and AS 5 <0.0045°C-in2/Watt (0.001 inch...

    What's left from a thermal pad after 3½ years...

    Hi everyones...thanks to read. Since a few weeks i have reinstalled Windows because the computer was getting slow to do about everything.

    RAID migration with an already installed OS...possible with Matrix Storage Manager?

    Thanks a lot for your reply (and your time!), tuskenraider. I've found this site this morning (check last post on the page) and the guy seems to be able to switch between raid and ahci without reinstall. Of course he speaks about raid 1.

    RAID migration with an already installed OS...possible with Matrix Storage Manager?

    Hi everyones and thanks for your time! I have a single sata2 drive on a P5LD2 Deluxe, with an already installed OS (XP Pro sp2). I wish to create a raid 0 array by of course adding a second identical drive. It is possible to do that (migrate) using the Intel Matrix Storage Manager in Windows...
