Your PC ATM

[Velvet Wafer]

I can see you have haha
but sure, if that is what you wanted then that is what you should get imo

and yes i know all speeds published by the companies are not so accurate, but it should be somewhere near it + this ssd is only a test to see if i like it in the long run, and then i will go for a 100gb+ model in the future.
or 2 of these in RAID 0

i will find those programs and start downloading them so i have them ready when it arrives

and yes i think it would be good to make a seperate thread, so we dont use some thread that isnt related to the subject

If half of that is right, what people state, we both will be very happy,i believe!
SSD´s in Raid should also be very nice with the right SB, but i wouldnt use raid 0... its very easy to damage the array as you know... i would prefer raid 1, tho that costs you some space

nice, would be cool! finally im able to do that, SSD´s have come down quite a bit in price till now!
Im looking forward to do a dual bench with you!

haha i guess so
yeah they are wild things, but i think that the performance might get crippled with the onboard raid controller when were at those speeds?

will you be making the thread? i think you should start it, you seem to know just a tad more about it than i do haha

btw, new case

or i havent got it yet, but got some pics in the mail today, it should arrive next week

love that its made of alu, has room for 5x120mm fans, + it has ALOT of room compared to other cubes, but its also bigger than others

At the moment:

 

[Athlonite]

Damn crap stock coolers, slapping fans around the HD 5870 only dropped its temps 5c.

The best way to drop temps on stock coolers like yours is to replace the TIM with even cheapo DeepCool silver TIM mine dropped 9 degC but with better TIM Gelid GC2 i got a whole 15degC idle and load with the fan on auto

 

[Athlonite]

@ mlee49 thats one nice case I looked at getting one but decided on the SilverStone Raven RV02 for $269.00 as it was $305.95 bucks cheaper here in NZ

 

[mlee49]

Tough choice between the Raven02 or Obsidian 800D both excellent cases.


Had a thought about the pic and came up with a good quote:

"In my day we used all the parts of the SSD, that ment the box too!"

 

[computertechy]

hey Don, what case is that?. im in love!

does it take full atx or just mini atx?

 

[(FIH) The Don]

its a NZXT rogue,

but you have to get a used one, its like no one has them in stock anymore
http://www.nzxt.com/products/rogue/
i was lucky to find a used one for cheap because the dvd cage is broken, but idc since i use my usb stick for win install,
it only takes m-atx, but i've seen a few mod it to ATX, but then you wont have the removable mb tray anymore

 

[computertechy]

u can get decent M-atx board now anyway. cheers buddy

 

[(FIH) The Don]

you def can, + it can fit you 5970 in there, i had a 5870 in there without a problem

and there was like 10cm room behind it haha.
you could go for a 785g board, should be nice

 

[computertechy]

was thinking more like the 890 boards when they start to mature.

gonna start building a HTPC pretty soon, and have found the case i want now just hope i can find one..

Very nice Don!

When you get it you should c'mon over to the Nzxt Case Club house and show off your Rogue build.

Depends, when you plan to do raid, your onboard controller will probably lag you out by a bit.
The stuttering and hanging problems, that happened to even single SSD´s a while ago, when it was the OS drive,should have vanished with the newer drives technology

alright, if you like to, i could use my eeeeendless wisdom, to open the thread
just hit me up, when you got the drive!

I really love that Rogue! i must have one my one, really!
how is it moddable to atx?

thats what i've heard so far, but i guess i have to try it out for myself to make sure
yes! use the force and make a awesome thread for us ssd's noobs
here, he modded it to atx, and he also just modded the shit out of that little case haha

i think its one of the best SFF mods i've seen so far

(FIH) The Don

you getting the 5850 still ?

 

[(FIH) The Don]

yes should be here tuesday i hope, or monday if im REALLY lucky

 

[DOM]

what brand are you getting ? im thinking im getting this

 

[(FIH) The Don]

i'm getting this
Sapphire 5850, but i cant find ANY review on that specific model, i would like to know if the voltage can be raised, but if not ill just return it and get a reference one instead

looks like the XFX one has a good cooler, i like those with the middle fan instead of the others

eww idk if that one does

this is wut Paulieg said

Yup, voltage adjustment works on any reference model. The only cards that currently do not have voltage adjustment is the Sapphire non-ref cards, including the Toxic and the Power Color PCS+

 

[(FIH) The Don]

ffs, i have already ordered it, and its the only model thats in stock,

well fuck it, i will have to wait and see how it goes

 

[douglatins]

I ordered a 5850 reference design to add to my 5970

 

[(FIH) The Don]

then you have trifire 5850s

as the 5970 is 2x 5850s imo

 

[mastrdrver]

Any of the 5850s and 5870s that have the fan centrally located use the Vapor-X pcb which does not have voltage control.

 

[digibucc]

Any of the 5850s and 5870s that have the fan centrally located use the Vapor-X pcb which does not have voltage control.

do you know any waterblocks that over everything on those models?

 

[mastrdrver]

Never messed with water so don't know. Though, I would guess that any full block that works on the Vapor-X would work on those but I would check with the maker just to make sure.
