Guest Senth Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 If anyone need any tech help on computers hardware and computer in general let me know Can help on suggestion on upgrade, new builds, Driver issue, Bios, Price hunting. New build is my specialty. So i know the market for pretty much all the parts. Me and decayed are computer junkies so we tend to fallow each trend as soon they come out. I cannot give support on software.. just hardware. My rate is 10 dollars on hour. thanks Cpl. senth P.S. Just kidding on the 10 dollar rate. Im glad to be a service to this clan, ask me anything.

Guest RET.CW4.ThievingSix=US= Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Im pretty sure he knows how to mod a floppy disk into a hard drive aswell :D. Also the corsair H70 came out, what do you think because i was going to buy the h50, but not for a few months at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say minimum, especially when it comes to your CPU, as that typically puts out considerably more heat than any other element in your case. Again, I've not tested the H50/H70... but in my humble opinion, a single 120mm rad is not sufficient for a CPU cooler, even in push/pull. Overclocking? Forget about it. Just my two cents... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in the state it is on sale often for 59.99 from orgiinal price of 79.99 H70 is over priced i think in the US its around 120 to 130. The major difference is that the radiator is larger meaning more surface area to cool down faster, the Pump enclosure is alot smaller I bet you will get 2 to 4 degree lower the h50 but that extra 2 -4 degree will cost u double H50 on a push pull setup is more then enough build that OCEd to 4.0 ghz. anything over 4.0 should be full water cooled. My 1055t hexacore is at 3.9 ghz 1.488 volts. Idles around 35c and at load max at 45c this temps are in summer time when the ambient air is higher. on winter expect the temps to drop 5-10 degree lower.

But these h50 h70 series are really good. they dont require refill. rarely hear the pump sound. And do a great job cooling. Because the whole system is enclosed there is no worry about leakage and the water line is very sturdy. I heard one incident on the corsair forums about leakage and ruining the whole system and Corsair paid for all the damaged components. Im running AMD which usually runs cooler then intel chips but check out overclocked.net about h50. Everyone is happy with the system AMD and Intel Owners.

ALL priced around 400 to 600 range Intel ICH10R south bridge chipset controls those port. there was study that the chipset is limited and bottlenecks the full potential of USB/Sata 3. As for AMD board the south bridge opens all the bandwidth for both usb and sata 3. Board costing around 150 to 240. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RET.CW4.ThievingSix=US= Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hmnn and what do you guys think about SSD? is it worth buying now or should i wait a year or 2 to upgrade to SSD, because it seems like great technology but im not sure sure on how stable it is.

Guest CC.Decayed=US= Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Pretty expensive still. If you want get a small one just for OS and some progs. But I still don't think it's worth the cost. If you don't care about the cost, then yeah it's pretty solid ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Krawll Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 So...My comp keeps BSODing on me. It was only doing it when I was watching videos online but as of yesterday, it did it in game too. I know there is a report that tells you why it blue screened but I cannot remember how to get to it. Senth, can you post instructions on how to get that so I can post the problem?

Guest oXJerXo Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I have a Dell Mini 9 running Linux on SSD and it boots in 30 seconds, no joke. On my gaming PC I'm running a pair of 75GB 10K RPM Raptors RAID 0 so I get plenty of speed there and about 150GB of usable space. It looks like the 150GB drives are about $120 for now, I didn't see any 75s. I think SSD is at least $2 per GB so it's pretty expensive comparatively.

And the wd black sata 3 one for file transfer. Other drives i have it on my wife computer and 2 other computers i have. the SSD i got it for 144 couple months ago but now the same SSD goes for around 110. They are good investment. Boot up is really fast and loading time for program is fast too. I did HDtune test. (make sure all your HD,SSD are on ahci mode not IDE cuz IDE limits the drives capability) my SSD does around 210 MB/s read seek rate of .02 seconds. My f3 raid does 250mb/s read Single Vraptor 10k does 140mb/s read SO for only 80 buck with 2 F3 500 gig on raid 0 is faster then a single Vraptor which cost 180. F3 has proven to be the fastest drive on raid in the market . BUT SSD is improving and geting faster. Ill Say get a cheap SSD for OS and 1 or 2 programs and put other programs in another drive.

Guest CC.Decayed=US= Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 They say you should put OS and programs on the same drive for maximum performance. Like when you Fraps, it's recommended to have windows, fraps, and game on same drive. and then the video out file on a secondary drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In critical u should see + sign to open all the number of event that happen within couple days. Find the most recent one and just double click on until u see the log.
