    How to test potentially bad ram?

    I have overclocked my system, but have not done anything with the memory settings. My memory is G.Skill F3-12800CL9 which is made up of 8 sticks of 4GB at DDR3 1600.

    How to test potentially bad ram?

    I just started to have problems with BSOD when running my backups and when I did video editing (both memory intensive). The BSOD error said something about memory, so I did a Memtest. I ran it for several hours and it showed hundreds of thousands of errors. Since I have 8 sticks, what is the...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    I just re-installed Win7-64 to my computer that has an Areca 1882i-12-4G raid card. I think I should have added the driver during install, but forgot. Is there a way to do that now? If it makes a huge difference, I may just start over and add the driver during Win install. But for now, it is...

    I am having a problem with some website management. I have a hosting company that holds my domain name and a hosting package, which I only use for email. I also use an admin company that ultimately hosts my website. I can set my settings according to the hosting company suggestions and my...

    Need a monitor reco

    I'm not worried about the budget - to a degree. I think the Hanns-g cost about $250. I would not be opposed to spending a bit more. I use it mostly for video editing. I have Adobe's Master Collection CS6 and use Premiere Pro the most. Edit: OK, I just looked at the Dell and that's more...

    Need a monitor reco

    I have this display LINK, but it was damaged during a company paid move from Nashville to Houston. In fact, it has what looks like a cepia-looking band at the top edge of the display. Any idea what caused this? A hard blow, or rough handling? Regardless, I need to replace the display and...

    How to improve wifi reception

    I just moved into an apartment complex and am having trouble with wifi reception. The complex only has wireless and it is almost unusable. I can't move because my company is paying part of the rent. I complained and the manager let me try my computer in two other apartments, but they did not...

    Is it OK to use GPT mode?

    Not sure I want to go down the flexraid path at the moment. The drive will be used for storage, and I definitely want a good backup program. I have been looking at Shadow Protect, but have not asked if it will recognize a GPT raid volume.

    Is it OK to use GPT mode?

    I would like to create a raid0 set with 2 each 2TB drives and have the new volume be the full 4TB size (actual size is 3.7TB). When I do that, I need to choose either MBR mode or GPT mode in disk management. Since MBR mode creates 2 volumes and GPT mode creates one large volume, is the GPT...

    Is the LSI 9265 raid card compatible with Asus P9X79 Pro MB?

    Thanks so much. This was the type of info I was looking for. Now I am torn between two cards: LSI 9265 with FastPath Areca 1882i with 4GB cache Looks like the LSI is about $200 cheaper. I am leaning toward the Areca because I'll be using spinners for a while. Do you think there will be...

    SATA III controller card recommendation?

    Hi OldHippie. I have seen your comments about the LSI 9265/Fastpath and have been thinking of going with that setup for some time and am aware of the price, but have a few questions: 1) Will this work with HDD's? I have 4 now, but will be upgrading to SSD's in the future. 2) Where can I go...

    Is the LSI 9265 raid card compatible with Asus P9X79 Pro MB?

    I left a question for LSI tech support. I got an automated response that I would get an answer in 48 hours. It has been two times that and still no answer. I also left a similar question for Areca tech support and got an answer in about 5 hours. In fact, I got a different person that...

    Is the LSI 9265 raid card compatible with Asus P9X79 Pro MB?

    I was hoping I wouldn't have to be the guinea pig as the card plus drives adds up to a large sum.

    Is the LSI 9265 raid card compatible with Asus P9X79 Pro MB?

    Anybody have this combination? Also, is there an Areca card that is equal to this in performance (and is compatible with the P9X79 Pro MB) ?
