Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I will probably buy 160GB Gen2 then. After all what I need is small files speed.
Finally my decision goes to SSD 160GB INTEL G2 for random speed which I actually need most.
Thanks everyone for help!
Of course, I could also buy (same price)
Corsair 6GB (3x2GB) 1600MHz 7-7-7-20 Dominator GT DHX+
and remove the added heatsinks to make them compatible with Noctua.
But, would those modules survive? Or that added heatsinks don't really matter that much...
And what about Intel's ridiculous write speed (compared to Crucial for example)?
Also, Kingston and Intel are identical drives, so it doesn't matter which I take?
What I'm looking at now is:
1. Single X25-M 160GB G2 / Kingston 160GB G2 (same drive different name?) 250/70 R/W
2. Single Crucial...
I'm in a dilema.
I use my PC primarily as a development workstation (build, debug, small files like html/css/js/.cs code, libs, dlls.....) and as a gaming rig.
At this moment I have 2x WD Velociraptor 300HLFS in RAID0 with 4K stripe.
It's a fine drive(s), but I've been experiencing slow...
I've chosen Noctua.
What timings you have on that 6GB RAM?
Mushkin I am planing to buy is 6-8-6-24 which should be enough to run it the same way I presume? (http://www.mushkin.com/Memory/Redline/998805.aspx)
I would like to overclock i7 975 @ 4GHz on ASUS Rampage II Extreme
I need a fast decision:
- buy Noctua NH-D14
- buy Corsair H50 watercooling
If I buy Noctua NH-D14, I will need to use one of the supported RAMs like
6 GB MUSHKIN RedLine FrostByte DDR3 1600MHz
to avoid Noctua large...
