Yeah I get that the monitor can be rotated. I was speaking more of the physical display area width of the side monitors matching the height of the center monitor when they are rotated. ie. 16:9 20" is 44cm wide, a 16:10 30" is 40cm high. Based on that link I posed at Wikipedia. As people...

I had thought about 1600x1200 but it's still not the right aspect ratio, so the size of the monitors display around won't line up again. I have a feeling that it may not be possible to align the display area dimension.

I'm looking into making a PLP 20-30-20 monitor setup for my main work PC, and maybe the occasional windowed multi-monitor gaming. I was about to order some monitors when I realized that the aspect ratios don't match up, and so the actual display area width of the 20's won't match up with the...

Win 7 will align the partition automatically on a RAID 0 array? Yeah I know old post, I still had the spreadsheet saved so I looked up the thread.

I am setting up a pair of OCZ Vertex 4's in RAID 0 in the next couple of days, is partition alignment still necessary on SSDs in RAID? If so is this spreadsheet still valid?

So I did end up buying two 5K3000's and adding them to my array of 3 7K2000's. I ran the new drives through 3 days of BST5 then multiple full passes of Hitachi's drive test and finally 2 verifies per expansion (I did the OCE in two steps). I haven't had any issues and everything appears fine...

I was wondering if you decided to mix the 5k3000's in with your 7k2000's and if so what your results were?

I'm wondering the same thing re: stress testing my array. I've been running BST5 for about a total of 72 hours on the RAID5 array, the drives didn't drop out, so far my controller (RR4320) reports 0 bad sectors found & repaired. Is 72 hours of testing enough? I've run two threads on the server...

I got 3 of these on Monday and have had good experiences with them so far. I ran the Hitachi Drive Fitness Test Quick/Advanced tests on all three drives, no issues. I hooked them up to my RR4320 and the RAID5 array built with no problems. I've been running BST5 on them going on 36 hours now. Two...

I'm running a RR4320, and I have my spin down time set to 10minutes. I build the system as low power as I could, so I'm just trying to keep up with the power savings. I'd like to run the drives in LowPower or LowRPM I'm just not sure if that will cause the drives to not work in the array...

I'm just Advanced checking my 3 drives that came today, long process, going to build the array tomorrow and stress test it with BST5 for a few days I think, see if it drops out. I was looking at the Hitachi Feature Tool, mainly to change the APM to the lowest setting. Not sure if APM will...

Someone replied in my other thread that they are using the 1.5TB F3EG drives in RAID no issue. At least on the same controller as me. I'm interested in either these Hitachi drives or the Samsung F3EG 2TB for an array. I'd prefer the F3EG's for power consumption and lower platter count, but...

That's a good idea. I'll probably end up stress testing the array for a week to iron everything out. I also found this in another forum post, from Samsung, here. "What Leads to Long Error recovery situations? Enterprise workloads with lots of I/O including random I/O and Streaming I/O...

Well that's relieving to hear that the Samsung F3EG's will work in Raid 5 since the WD GP drives have issues just creating the array. It's even better to hear that you got the 1.5TB's working on a 4320 no problems, so I'm hoping the 2TB will follow suit. How long have you been running the array...

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I wasn't planning on choosing any Seagate drives because of the issues they've been having. You have 4 ecogreen 1.5TB's in RAID 5 on a 4320? They just wouldn't work in RAID 6? Or are they in RAID 5 on a different controller? Do you have any issues with them dropping...

My small 3x250GB array is way past running out of space, and I'm tired of backing up all my data to DVD, and I've been looking to buy new drives to create a new raid 5 array for a while. My controller is a Highpoint RocketRaid 4320, and the drive compatibility list is located here. Based...

Do any of these tools copy NTFS permissions along with doing a CRC check like TeraCopy does? I'm looking through TeraCopy options but it doesn't seem to state anything of the sort.

I've gotten around a couple of the missing DLL issues. Is there any way to edit a config file so that I can avoid installing DX9.0c and just use DX11?

I am apparently missing OpenAL32.dll as well.

Ok, so after re-entering my CD key, being told that I had already activated that product I had to exit Steam, launch Steam again, enter my Dirt 2 CD key a second time. After being told that I had already activated this CD key I then was prompted with the option to install. As TiWizard said...

I re-entered my CD key into steam and it told me that that CD key is already added. I see no Dirt 2 folders added either, so I'm guessing it's still not doing anything. (Are you referring to Windows Programs files folder or steamapps/common/... in the Steam folder?) I wonder if my Steam cd...

@Supertag: 60fps where? I upgraded from a Q6600 @ 3.6 3870x2 to the system in my sig in stages. Swapping the 3870x2 to the 5870 gained me about 10fps in Dal (I pick a spot in Dal as my benchmark on a busy night). Upgrading to the i7 gained me another 20fps or so. Upgrading to the X25-M's only...

That post got my hopes up but by the time I read through it to then end I was just as frustrated. I'd love to use some 1.5TB WD GP drives in R5, I don't suppose we can flash an old firmware onto them so that the WDTLER tool will work. Or maybe a retailer that has old stock? Wishful thinking I'm...

I was in the same situation this past summer. I was looking into the QNAP 8 bay solutions and I really couldn't justify the cost before drives. I ended up buying an ECS 945GCT-D (Intel Atom), with a Highpoint 4320 SAS raid + gigabit NIC. All parts included, before drives was ~$600. Runs great...

I recieved two X25 G2's (80GB) last week. Performance seems fine, both had the same smudged metal look on the bottom casing.

I just installed Win7 64bit on two X25 g2's the other day, RAID 0. I used the driver from the Asus website and I get 525MB/170MB sequential read/writes. Of course that has gone down now that I've installed some apps/games. I'm not using the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, just the drivers...

1. I do have Load Line Calibration enabled in BIOS which is Asus' vdroop eliminator. At all speeds/voltages I've tried the system is not stable without it. With vcore still set to 1.3563V in BIOS I get idle readings of: CPU-z 1.336V HWMonitor 1.34V Everest 1.33V LCD 1.336V MM Probe...

mI'm currently running the rig in my sig, i7 920 @ 4200MHz 200MHzx21, CPU voltage set to 1.3563. I've been doing some stress testing, trying to find a sweet spot for my CPU and I've been using a bunch of different programs to monitor temperatures and voltages. At first I was just using Core...

I'm rebuilding my water cooling setup and cleaning everything out, and I was wondering if I should still use the D-Tek Fuzion Quad Core Nozzle accelerator insert in my D-Tek Fuzion v1? The old Core 2 Quad had two separate die's so I can see the benefit of the quad core insert to divert the...

Good reminder. My first XFX card, so easy to register almost seems like I missed something/a step.

1GHz GPU? What's your memory OC'd to?

Good to know. Much appreciated.

I just ordered my i7 920 and I was planning on using my D-Tek Fusion V1 w/ Quad Core Nozzel kit to overclock as high as possible (with the 1366 kit adapter). Most benchmarks I see are for the V2 Fusion, will I be ok with a V1? Or should I start looking for a new water block? It's a 1 loops...

Appreciate the confirmation. Thank you.

I get the model number ordering from Intel. My question is that some retailers I look at mark the drive as a Postville drive, and some mark the drive as a Mainstream. I want to make sure that if it's a G2 model number that it is indeed a Postville (34nm) drive regardless if the retailer marks it...

Yeah for the last to digits C1 is OEM and R5 is retail which includes the mounting bracket. That would make sense though, that the M in X25-M stands for Mainstream and E for Extreme. Can anyone else confirm this? The article also confirms that the 34nm is codename Postville. With all the mixed...

Referencing the model number in this article The model number for the 34nm X25-M Postville G2 drives is SSDSA2MH080G2C1. A lot of the online retailers plus local retailers are calling that a X25-M Mainstream drive. Such as Newegg.ca here. Others are selling the same model number as a 34nm...

I also don't think that 2x GTX260 would outperform an HD5870, and if so, but such a large margin. I'm curious about that processAffinityMask in config.wtf. I'll have to research this as well.
