    Combining two hard drives into one (RAID?)

    Crap. The computer I built has a RAID controller which from what I've looked up is what I need for JBOD. However the server I'm wanting to use this for does not. Guess I can buy a cheap PCI RAID card? EDIT: Saw the bit about disadvantages on software RAID, not a good idea...I need to...

    Combining two hard drives into one (RAID?)

    Hi, kinda experienced with computers in most ways (built the machine I'm currently using, 8 Gb ram, QX9650, watercooled GTS 8800 vid). Now for my server I've got an old Dell XPS Gen 4 computer running Windows Server 2008. It has an SSD drive to boot off of and a media volume to hold my...

    Server 2008 freezes when installing OS on SSD

    Odd problem. I boot to the DVD to install (a legit) copy of server 2008 x86. I've had server 2008 before on this machine. My hardware is fine. But I changed out the drive for an SSD just to test it out. Keyboard works in pre-boot environment. Then installation files load and Server 2008...

    Didn't Nvidia used to have a feature in their drivers to view GPU temperature?

    2.06 works like a charm! Uninstalled 2.05, never worked at all for me. Thanks.

    Didn't Nvidia used to have a feature in their drivers to view GPU temperature?

    Ntune causes a BSOD whenever I try to run it. It's the only app that has done that to my new rig! I'll try the new rivatuner later and see if this works! Thanks...

    Tried Rivatuner, got some kind of error saying it doesn't work with 64 bit systems :/

    Didn't Nvidia used to have a feature in their drivers to view GPU temperature?

    It's not there anymore..running Vista 64 and an 8800GTS watercooled. Wanted to check what it's operating at under load and I'm not seeing a place to do that. Looked around for 3rd party apps like everest, but those are paid programs...there used to be a way to do this for free ~_~ EDIT: Am...

    .....my hard drive caught fire

    It was already plugged into the PSU when I booted. I just plugged it into the mobo while I was in Windows. It had already been plugged into the PSU and active for at least 15 minutes before it blew. It was a WD raptor 73! A good drive, or was...

    Is my CPU-Z reading me right?

    I've heard they run cool...they do for me, at least...I've had a lot of problems but one that that has worked very well is my water cooling. As for speed stepping, thanks, I'll check it out. When I'm all settled down and ready to start learning to OC, I'll do that as well :p

    Is my CPU-Z reading me right?

    http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/1269/asdlv6.jpg Stock QX9650, says it's running @ 2.0 GHz if I'm reading this correctly. Easy Tune 5 says it's running @ 2.6. Isn't it supposed to run at 3.0? Never overclocked anything before in my life by the way, once my rig is finished setting up I...

    .....my hard drive caught fire

    Oh sorry, thought I posted that...Ultra X3 1 kW PSU. I'm going to take a spare drive and install Vista and see what happens. The Internet is crap across my entire place, on three computers and two laptops. From none of them can I get alcohol 120, access download.com and actually download...

    .....my hard drive caught fire

    Ugh. I've been having nothing but trouble with this. This is my first, and possibly for a while, last attempt at building a computer. I almost wish I didn't get state-of-the-art stuff for it. Made another topic here (Power Supplies) because the next day I had sparks flying out of my PSU...

    Did I break my ulta X3?

    Maybe. Wouldn't it short out immediately, though? I plugged it into the SATA port on the mobo while Windows was active, but it had been plugged into the PSU for at least 15 minutes. While we're on the subject of power, quick easy question: A video card that is water cooled doesn't need a...

    8 gigs of ram and none of it free?

    http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/4326/testut0.jpg Am I reading this right? Is there some way to stop vista from caching this?
