    Raid Levels Compared

    I decided to try out raid 10, mainly for the rebuild times. Raid 5 has always burned me more then once, with its 72 hour rebuild time (highpoint controllers are not fast). So far my choice has been fantastic. Using Windows server 2012, I made 6 Virtual disks and their respective 6 targets...

    [Solved] GA-Z77X-UD5H freezing and lockups

    Lock ups are less frequent, but the shutdowns still occur with 100.1 On the good side of things, it seems gigabyte may have found a solution. Currently i have been running bios beta F8a with defaults for about 4 hours, and I have had no issues. too soon to tell, but I still have hope. edit...

    The Radeon 7850 is an overclocking beast

    my friends are so impressed I may have talked them into ordering some. Just for kicks though, I may want to try out a 4 way crossfire. It looks like I would just need 1000 watt psu. Is that correct? 200 system, 150x4 = 800 watts.

    msi p55-gd65 beware

    test #1, stuck my video card in each slot (gtx 460) and ran gpuz. test #2, stuck my raid controller in each slot and as ssd on my ssd. My ssd is the patriot wildfire. It has 500 read and 400 write. So i could only test up to a pcie v1.1 @ x2 or a pcie v2.0 @ x1.
