I recently purchased a SSD, and previously had 2 HDDs from before, which I still have. I would like to follow this process:
1. Run Windows and keep basic documents on the SSD
2. Back up this SSD content onto HDD1 (and also keep my photos/videos on HDD1; I don't have that much data, less than...
That is good to hear - where does it say it is rated to 100C? My main source of info was from following information at https://communities.intel.com/thread/76843?start=0&tstart=0
I recently set up a system with a Xeon E3-1230-V3. I am using the stock heatsink but wiped off the default paste (using rubbing alcohol and coffee filter) and added Arctic MX-4. For temperature, at idle it runs in mid-30s, and during regular windows usage, tops out at low 50s (all temps in C of...
Thanks again for everyone's help on this - the information benefited me tremendously and got me up to speed quickly on today's hardware market. I considered all of the options suggested, and pursuing each of them actually led me from one road to another, and in the process I found some different...
You guys are great! This is extremely helpful, and will likely save me some $ as well. I will seriously consider a Skylake i3, which might save me a quite a bit, and good to know the IGP is same as the i5.
I'm looking to replace my mobo/processor/ram for about $300-350. I'm thinking a Skylake i5 for about $200, and a Gigabyte mobo for about $60. I don't play any games, I just watch youtube videos and do internet/writing/spreadsheets and also do data analysis (not using graphics card for the...
Thank you for the clarification on RAID - this is helpful to me! I will keep these suggestions in mind regarding tweaking Crashplan settings.
To answer the question from Essence_of_War: The OS being used will be Windows 8. Perhaps I could just use the included Windows backup software. I will...
I'm looking to configure a 3-monitor setup. It's just for office style tasks so I don't need much power. I was thinking of using the CPU/mobo for one monitor then getting a ~$35 graphics card for the other 2 monitors, but from reading it looks like only certain motherboards can run graphics in...
I'm setting up a computer for a friend who was looking to have a continuous backup. I've tried Crashplan in the past and I found it actually a little confusing for the people I set it up for (as the backup is compressed so the original files are not immediately visible) and I'd rather not use up...
I'm looking to get another netbook-style laptop. The main purpose is to take meeting notes and quickly check the interwebs. Thus, I want to use it like a paper notebook with a little added functionality (e.g., edit documents, check email).
I've had an eeePc 1000HE for a little over 3 years...
