    to RAID or not to Raid....that is the question

    I just finished installing my 4 hard drives in my Lian Li PC-V1000. I have the drives staggerd and a 120mm fan is blowing across them. I also just finished installing a NV Silencer 5 on my eVGA 6800 GT in hopes to get it over 1050/390 that I had in my other system I removed it from. It went up...

    cool...thanks....I think I know what your saying. The bottle neck then becomes the controller, makes sense.

    to RAID or not to Raid....that is the question

    .wav files can be very large aeternitas. Has anyone ever witness a 4 Raid 0 array before? A long time ago I think CPU mag built one.....of course I couldn't find the mag for the life of me.

    to RAID or not to Raid....that is the question

    cool tracerB......thanks for the input and advice. Now for a surprise and I'm not joking. I have 4 Hitachi SATA's, 2 from my old system, and I made sure to get the other 2 as exact models. Would I be able to create a TERAbyte of RAID 0 on my Neo2? Since it has 4 SATA connections. I'm thinking I...

    Recommend me a socket 939 AGP motherboard for overclocking

    http://www17.tomshardware.com/...rd/20050103/index.html This is the one that finally pushed me over the top for a Neo2. I must have read every review you could think of. Fell back to this for it's large comparison.

    FX-55 Availability.....

    I think he wants the Top Dog. The FX-53 is the next best thing at that price because it's unlocked. You don't want second fiddle do ya Geforcer!

    to RAID or not to Raid....that is the question

    I don't want to run RAID 1 Duvie. I guess I should just run RAID 0 and see if the array fails when I overclock the snot out of the little 3000 chester. hmmm Can always reinstall windows I guess if it goes kaput. Hope everything is good and locked on this Neo2. Thanks you guys, you all were...

    Athlon XP 3000 runs very hot

    It seems to me you have other issues rather than heat as mentioned by kiwi. It very well could be a RAM thing. What RAM are you running? You shouldn't compare heat ratings to other CPU types. They have different cores and thus different temp ratings. My Thermaltake Volcano 12 extreme is...

    to RAID or not to Raid....that is the question

    You guy's really got me thinking. What if I pull a Maxtor 9 120gb from my old build and put it on my IDE and use something like Norton Ghost to make backups. If something was to happen, I could just boot off the IDE right?

    FX-55 Availability.....

    Which is why I went for that 155 buck item. Who knows how this price thing is going go anyway. All's i know is that I'm not going to buy a REAL expensive CPU from any ol' vender....know what I mean. ;)

    Athlon XP 3000 runs very hot

    I've been running 47c for over a year now with a Volcano 12 HSU. I have taxed the hell out of it and it has never gone over 53c. Stock case fans in my Cooler Master ATCs case. This is going by the ASUS Probe utility.

    FX-55 Availability.....

    I've been looking just like you.......Nope!!!!!!! I read somewhere that Venders have first come first served. It's such a hot one right now that the end user will pay anything to get there hands on one. I finally settled in on a 3000+ chester until things settle down (hopefully). The chester...

    Will the Raid 0 put a cap on how much I can overclock?

    Thermalright XP-90 and A8N-SLI Deluxe

    "I think it's safe to say you must have the heat pipes going up". I am wrong with that statement and retract it!!!!!!!! It works with compressed gas and gravity does not have any effect. BUT, the priciple of the gas moving away from the heat source and returning when cooled is still valid I...
