    Dead Swiftech MCP355 Pump, Installing Replacement

    I am a newbie to liquid cooling, and trying to assess whether one of the pumps is dead. I have a dual loop system (GPU + CPU) and a dual resevoir. My graphics card is overheating and the water in the right-side of the reservoir is motionless (I'm guessing this is the loop for the GPU) compared...

    How MUCH faster is a 15K SCSI drive vs 7.2K SATA drive at the following

    With regard to SCSI drives being for servers, from my online shopping experience I would agree, but several people here have mentioned (in other posts) how much they adore their 10K or 15K SCSI boot drives and they are not using them for servers (some even only for games). Even for an...

    I just purchased a high-end system from Dell and have three questions about some higher-end components... 1. A few days after ordering, I noticed that Dell offers a a 146GB Ultra 320 SCSI, 1 inch (15,000 rpm) hard drive upgrade for the Precision 670. I purchased the Dimension XPS Gen4. I am...

    7200 RPM versus 10,000 RPM SATA hard drives

    Can anyone provide some real-life perfomance differences between 7200 RPM hard drives and 10,000 RPM hard drives (such as the Western Digital Raptor)? I see there are claims here that the system will boot and load initial startup programs more quickly with a 10,000 RPM hard drive, and that...
