I recently purchased an LSI MegaRAID SAS 9271-4i and 4x WD Red 4TB drives. I'm attempting to create a RAID 10. I've went through the process of creating the array but instantly after the process is finished, the array degrades with the drive connected to port 2 dropping out. To troubleshoot...
I'm currently looking to upgrade my storage for the PC in my sig. I currently have a couple of older WD Black 2TB drives that I do not have in RAID but I'm running out of storage. I'm looking at using 4x WD Red 4TB drives in a RAID 10, but the market of RAID controller cards is fairly complex...

I'm building a new rig with a Cooler Master Cosmos S and I have several questions.
I have already taken the case apart so it can be painted and powder coated. I have my hardware except for WC and various other parts.
I'm going with a black and red theme built around an EVGA Classified. My...
I will be setting up a new CPU loop in a few weeks with the new Heatkiller Rev3 1366 block (CU or LT, probably LT), Feser X-Changer 360, and Laing DDC-3.2 (w/XSPC Reservoir Top) in a Cosmos S case. I'll use 1/2" Feser UV Red tubing with Bitspower compression fittings. I might add a 285 GTX...
...wondering something. I was gonna buy the base EVGA X58 board this week along with a i7 920, 6GB Corsair DDR3-1600, EVGA 285 GTX, and a new Cosmos S case anyways. And now since I don't have to spend some of that money on a board. Should I go ahead and get a water cooling setup? I only...
I'm RMAing my 680i and wondering if I should reinstall windows with the new board or should it be fine. I know when changing make and models I should but this is the same model. I have a drive to dump stuff on so it'll be no problem to do it just want to know if its neccesary.
I'm having to RMA my EVGA A1 680i now after 8 months of use.
The problem: cooked NB - nope, frying RAM - nadda, no post - no, drive controller - yep.
The board is having a hard time getting past IDE drive detection code 75. It happened twice in the past few months. Would take many boots...
I have a EVGA 8800 Ultra KO and I'm wondering if my temps sound right.
I had my temps go as far as 90c during games a few weeks ago. I was idling at 75c or so. No artifacting but it was still too hot. I added 2 120mm fans blowing across the card and now am idling at 52c and load at 65c...
Well, I'm in need of a fan controling program so I can set fan speeds for my 8800 Ultra. NVidia's control panel doesn't have many options.
BTW, I found a way to lower my temps for my card. I was idling at 78c and load about 91c. I added a Scythe SFF21F fan blowing air across the card and...
I just reapplied my thermal paste about an hour ago so it hasn't had any burn in time.
Here's my current OC.
I know thats not long for Orthos but tell me if this is a good first time overclock.
1.425 v in bois
EVGA 680i A1 mobo.
Ok, I know this is silly for me to ask. I have a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme and a pair of Scythe S-FLEX fans. Should one plug in the cpu fan header? and does the other just use anyother on the motherboard? or should they just be connected to the powersupply directly?
This will be the system Ill be ordering after the price cuts. Any suggestions, advice on the parts I have lined up?

I have Office 2007. It can be used on 3 computers it says. I'm going to use it on 3 computers but my desktop is going to have Vista on one drive and XP on another. Will the software tie to the OS or mobo? I want to install it on both OS's and 2 other computers. Will it work?
I really am a n00b when it comes to case fans, so I don't really know what to ask.
I want a fan thats effective and quiet. Also, I'm looking for some that would work for a watercooling rad setup. So give me a rundown on what to look for and any recommendations.

I'm either getting the aluminum or steel chassis so here are a few questions I have.
1. Which would better at cooling, steel or aluminum?
2. Is the...
I'm planning a watercooled system build with a Tt Armor case and various cooling parts.
I've pretty much decided on 2x120 DD radiator put in the front of the case. Thats the only place air can be intaked and it will restrict case air flow. Will putting fans on both sides of the radiator...
I know the OEM rules about not installing it with 2 different mobos but what about processors?
Can someone explain the retail version rules aswell.
As of right now, if my thoughts are justified, buying the retail version will be more worth it IF I intent to update my mobo more than twice...
I've heard Q3 but not sure.
I'm looking at the E6850 when it comes out. I plan to start ordering at the beginning of August. I know there is plans for more great price cuts around that time. When historically do they bring them out?
Thanks for the help.
