    How to Un-RAID an HDD?

    Thanks for all the advice, I <3 HardForum... The first reply worked for me, I didn't think of setting my BIOS back to RAID mode since my system was non-RAID, but I did and sure enough I was able to choose "Delete RAID array" on the affected drive. Vista formatted it successfully now...

    How to Un-RAID an HDD?

    I figured this would be easy but it won't let me format my drives... A long time ago I had 2x250gb HDDs running in RAID0. I have a new PC and those 2 drives have been sitting in my closet now for some time. I wanted to use one of them to compliment my main HDD as a backup drive. So I...

    Arctic Cooling Twin Turbo out yet?

    I installed these on my friends 2 8800GTs and more recently I installed one on my HD 4850. There were a few annoyances I had with this cooler. Out of the 4 VRM heatsinks that stick on, only 3 of them can be properly fitted, the 4th being slightly raised on one side because of something...

    Going in circles with Asus P5Q Pro

    Initially I had my 2 Corsair ddr2-800 sticks in the two yellow DIMMS, as directed on the Asus QVL. Since then, I've tried one stick at a time on the first DIMM slot. I also tried one stick on one of the two black DIMM slots. Did the same thing with another pair of RAM, crucial ballistix...

    Going in circles with Asus P5Q Pro

    PS. I've now brought my computer to my buddie's house and haven't had it crash all night long and this morning. Seems the longest I've gone without a crash. If it turns out that it works completely fine at a different house than mine, what would that point to? Is it possible my power outlet at...

    System failure caused by WD MyBook

    Hello fellow enthusiasts, I'm at a bit of a loss now on what to do. For the better part of 2 weeks now, I've been plagued with games that crash/reboot a few seconds into the menus (happened same way with AoC and CoD4), not to mention an occasional Windows crash. All this after upgrading my...

    Quick/Noob RAID0 question

    so are you saying that a raid0 in my case would outperform my single 16mb cache drive? also i have to sacrifice putting my pagefile on a seperate drive if I go that route (important since my ram is low)... If all you wanted was increased performance for a certain game (age of conan), not...

    Quick/Noob RAID0 question

    Hi all, I read these forums more than I write on them. But I have a question that's eating away at me. I just bought Age of Conan and the loading times are atrocious, as well as loading new textures. These are the HDDs I have: WD2500JS, 8mb cache, 8.9ms seek time, 7200rpm <-- Windows...

    loop order

    despite the little difference in what loop order you choose, i will add that waterblocks that use impingement (e.g. TDX waterblock) work best when they get hit with the most pressure, hence my loop order: pump --> cpu block --> gpu block --> radiator --> reservoir --> pump since...
