    PCI-E Software RAID Card x16 for up to 4 M.2 SSDs

    I'm not at all proficient in Linux, so to do anything in there would certainly be a struggle for me.

    PCI-E Software RAID Card x16 for up to 4 M.2 SSDs

    I can make the second disk a simple volume, or make a partition on the second disk as a simple volume from the unallocated space without issue. I cannot even make a simple volume from the unallocated space on the boot disk. When I try to make the volume it gives the same error.

    PCI-E Software RAID Card x16 for up to 4 M.2 SSDs

    So, I have the 4x version of the Gen 3, two slot Amfeltec card that I'm using with 2 x 128GB Plextor M.2's. My plan was / is to eventually get a few Samsung 960 Pro's at 1TB each, and then do software raid 0, just like the OP. I have these small drives now just to test the following setup to see...

    I'm using RSC-R2UG-A2E16-A, and the high quality 3m cables, one 250mm, and one 500mm. These were the only cables I tried.

    How did you know that without seeing my GPU-z on Windows 10? ;) It was GPU-z that detected my VRAM as 4GB in Windows 7, however, you happen to be absolutely correct! Windows 10 properly detects the correct amount of VRAM, so that could make all the difference in the scores. I think a good...

    Soooo.... I installed Windows 10 on a separate HDD just to see the results compared to Windows 7. My score increased over 4000 points in Firestrike (stock settings - no GPU overclocking). Too bad I despise Windows 10 with a passion. The most notable difference in the monitoring section if you...

    Thanks for that, I don't think the 92mm Asetek is going to work due to its radiator thickness. I'm definitely open to it though if it can possibly fit because it should provide better cooling than a Corsair H60 for example. My hunch is though that I'll have to sacrifice the cooling ability for...

    I plan on mounting the gpu's with a bracket sideways and vertical where the power supply would normally be. This makes the GPU DVI ports a non issue. The power supply will be horizontally mounted where the fan on the back of the case would be. At least thats the plan so far. I'll be using...

    I've been in contact with John. Nice guy and quick response times. So I guess my question would be the following: How can you get the raw computation power from those monsters *if* for arguments sake the bandwidth is capped? Doesn't every application rely on the amount of bandwidth available?

    You beat me to it! Though I was honestly going to try 2 x 64GB first. You've got guts, keep us updated! I have to say though, I'm not so sure you are going to get amazing performance with those Titan X's. I'd love to be wrong, but my score seems really low for two 1070's in SLI, so there may be...

    So there are two very minor issues I've noticed that are still there: 1) I get screen tearing while in SLI when scrolling up and down with the middle mouse button on webpages (I'm using google Chrome). Never had this before. Changing the "Vertical Sync" setting to "Adaptive" helps some, but it...

    I have resolved the slow boot issue completely by enabling the "Above 4G Decoding" setting in the bios, as well as enabling the "Above 4G Decoding Patch" setting as well. If you don't enable the patch setting, you can't see the post screen (even though it posts) and therefore you can't see the...

    Right now I'm going to try a SuperMicro RSC-R2UG-A2E16-A. Receiving tomorrow I think. Being that this one is specifically listed as "active", I'm thinking that it could potentially bypass bios issues with bifurcation since it would be doing the signal splitting rather than the bios (at...

    Hey buddy, here is the 3.63 bios: https://mega.nz/#!sRMhkZRY!DXPibGDsTsqqmUxfAX3vgq0wLWNNP1B2lsUAAdpwrVQ Do you have full, stable functionality with your 970's in SLI? Hows performance? It seems to me from my testing that the 970 may be more "compatible" and that there could be something in...

    So, I've received some hardware to test, including my 3M Cables ($100 a piece - one 250mm and one 500mm), and my SuperMicro RSC-R2UT-2E8R. Tests were with a GTX 970 and 750ti. I was disappointed to find that the RSC-R2UT-2E8R that I received did not have the 6-pin power socket shown in the...

    Can you tell us exactly which Lian Li riser you got, and where you got it? I need one with a really low profile connector that doesn't extend very high after plugging into the motherboard.

    But aren't these multipliers designed for this purpose? If crosstalk was an issue, how would anyone use these things? Seems like the type of thing that they would iron out in the testing phase before releasing. I'm going to ask Supermicro and see what they say. Update: Here is SuperMicro's...

    Zotac Z68-ITX Wifi

    Updated to brand new bios from within Windows 7 X64. Upon following the instructions and shutting down the computer after bios update, after turning the system back on, there was no post. I waited for about 30 seconds or so, and when I realized nothing was happening, I pushed the reset button on...

    Can someone with the AXP cooler from Thermaltake please give me an idea of what temps you are getting with this board? I seem to be getting average idle of 39c or so from RealTemp with my 2600k (bios temp is closer to 50c). This being a monster cooler, and this being a cool low idling chip, I...

    P67/Z68 ITX: what the manufacturers say

    Thank you thank you thank you! Thanks also for the link to that awesome build of yours! I will use yours as a baseline when I decide to jump into a project such as this (hopefully sooner than later).

    P67/Z68 ITX: what the manufacturers say

    Someone asked the question earlier in this thread but I don't think it was ever answered definitively. LIAN LI PC-Q08B + Noctua NH-C14 (fan on the bottom) Will it fit? Like the rest of you i'm eagerly awaiting this Zotac Z68 board!

    just got my galaxy 8800GT

    I would definitely say not literally a hair dryer, but fairly close. It's loud enough that it is significantly noticable above your other case fans (unless you have very loud ones). I would estimate it to be a constant 45 DB.

    You are probably correct, although if people give them a hard time about that as well, they may relent depending on how much they want to curb RMA's

    Personally I think it is in their best interest to give some sort of compenation, because they probably don't want everyone RMA'ing their cards over something like this.

    just got my galaxy 8800GT

    go through NCIX's customer service steps for your order number and issue a request to them for some sort of compensation. Personally, I don't mind much that there are two different coolers, its just that one of them is "defective", even if it was designed to do this. It should be listed in the...

    My leaf blower version that I just received is really not too bad, except for the inability to control the fan speed. Without changing the cooler, my clocks are at 720 Core / 2040 Mem / 1800 Shader. With my case side off I can get significantly higher all around and about 2100 on the memory, so...
