    The AnandTech Introduction Thread: Get To Know Your Peers

    Hi. :) (Are europeans allowed in..?)

    Strange horizontal lines in the top-right of my monitor (VG248QE)

    I did, twice, and the second time a monitor came that didn't have the problem as pronounced. However in the last month or so I've started to notice it again every now and then in the lower left corner of this sample. Makes me wonder if I should get the G-Sync upgrade kit or wait for a purpose...

    Best RAID1/5 setup inside my PC case?

    I guess I'll just do it manually then - Copying files over every week or so. Everything seems to be breaking today (some non-computer related stuff) so I can't be arsed to try and fix this.

    Best RAID1/5 setup inside my PC case?

    Windows won't boot when it's connected to the intel controller for whatever reason. :/ 'Write back' is greyed out. I can choose between 'Write through', 'Read only' and 'Off'. Ah, it's selectable when disabling Write-cache buffer flushing. It seems to increased my FPS again but not to what it...

    Best RAID1/5 setup inside my PC case?

    Ok, got everything installed and got a nice RAID1 volume going with 2x 4TB drives. However, the FPS when playing games has dropped to about 20% of what it used to be. To see if this RAID is somehow interfering I turned off the whole sata controller (using the Marvell chip for my SSD) and my FPS...

    Best RAID1/5 setup inside my PC case?

    Just tried to swap the 2 drives to Intel SATA ports to look around the IRST interface (they were connected to the Marvell chip before) only to be greeted by a loud mechanical knocking sound from one of the drives. Swapping them back to the Marvell controller made it stop. :\ Either way, I'll...

    Best RAID1/5 setup inside my PC case?

    A few years back I switched from a bunch of random external USB drives to a proper RAID5 setup in a synology NAS box. It's exactly what I wanted, a simple and reliable assistant that does everything for me so no chance of the user (me) fucking something up and breaking the entire array. It's...

    Degraded 4770K

    The HD interface magically started working when I upgraded from a GTX580 to a GTX780. I wonder what exactly the difference is between these 2 cards that made the BIOS finally accept it... :confused: Oh even at 4Ghz it's unstable now? Dang, that's degrading pretty fast then. Best of luck with...

    Degraded 4770K

    Interestingly I have the same exact motherboard and also bought it with a 4770k on release day. I'm running it at 4.5Ghz core with 1.272v and 4.2Ghz uncore and with basically every intel/mobo feature disabled except hyperthreading. It never downclocks when idling and the voltage is stuck at...

    Blower-style GPUs only when using SilverStone RV02/FT02?

    Hmm, I don't really see why you would recommend that, it's not a blower style cooler.

    Blower-style GPUs only when using SilverStone RV02/FT02?

    Does anybody have any experience using a non-blower style GPU in their SilverStone Raven or Fortress? I ask because I remember a comment from SilverStone somewhere that stated it's better to use a blower style GPU cooler as it complements the updraft orientated design? EVGA's new ACX cooler...

    GTX 780 Classified - why no reviews?

    I haven't seen it for sale either so I wouldn't be surprised to see EVGA is still hunting more chips that can clock to that speed reliably.
