SSD performance over time, a few results

Used the first method, PartedMagic is now downloaded as an iso so you can create a bootable CD or USB stick. I did have to use the "Alternate graphics server" option to get the wake up after sleep to be visible. Don't see much if any improvement in performance. At some point in the future...

SSD performance over time, a few results

I have write-back enabled in two places. - Opening IRST->Manage->open Advanced->"Write-back cache" Enabled - open Device Manager->open Disk drives->open Properties of RAID drive->Policies tab-> "Enable write caching on the device" is checked. Results don't change. These SSDs have seen...

SSD performance over time, a few results

I did a quick check with the more recent version and as you guessed it doesn't really matter. Since this is a business working machine and I had 3 out of 6 failures with OCZ Vertex2 SSDs, I selected the SSD with the lowest failure rate (Intel) I could find knowing full well it wasn't the...

Hummm, I thought that was associated with caching, SRT? A look at IRST and that is the only reference I can see is related to caching. How do you do it on RAID? Do I need more recent drivers?

SSD performance over time, a few results

Since there has been discussion of SSD performance over time I had a little time and thought I would take a look at my particular setup. I'm running Win7 so TRIM is active on one SSD with my OS; it is an Inter 510 120G (using SATAIII) that has < 48G used. I also have two older...

want to have ssd as boot drive and 2 hdd in raid0 as secondary

I'm not an AMD expert but it does look like that chipset should support RAID. I've always installed Win7 using the ACHI option, never tried to do it under RAID but not surprising if Win7 might not allow it. I suggest you: 1) Connect only the SSD (no hard drives) and install Win7 using...

Asus LGA1155 ROG Maximus vs PRO / Deluxe ? What is best Asus Mobo?

If you don't use the added features of the more expensive boards then they are of no value to you. Spend you money on something else.

I don't know what your motherboard is but after installing Win7 on one SSD using ACHI, I switched the bios to RAID and installed a 2*60 SSD RAID0 employing Intel's RST feature. The original SSD with the OS now shows up as a "non-RAID" drive in the bios. As LokutusofBorg suggests, check your...

MOBO Question

If there isn't a quick and easy fix, perdomot's suggestion is a good one. Lots of room to move up from the P35 chipset even if you're funds are limited. With Sand Bridge out, prices will go down on the older motherboards and chips. Also while AMD isn't the fastest, it is always a reasonable...

MOBO Question

Could be mobo as you suggest but I would do a little troubleshooting first. For example, will it boot into bios (not frozen) with 1) one stick RAM at a time and use a couple different memory slots 2) disconnected hard drives 3) any other variations you can think of. If you still can't get...

does voltage matter if temps are low?

Answer to your original question, if temps are OK then you are OK to go.

Dumb, n00b question about thermal paste on the CPU/Heatsink

The method suggested can hold you for awhile. But the problem that might result is capturing an air pocket within the new interface when you replace the heat sink with old past on the heat sink. In the long term buy some new TIM if you don't have some available and install the heat sink after...

What? You bumped the voltage from 1.65V stock to 1.325V? Gota be a typo in there.

XP, 754 and 939 CPU benchmark comparisons

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback folks. You mean more statistics or different tests. The second isn't going to happen, at least by me, the systems have been parted out. Common for server-like machines of course. Just concentrate on calculational testing when it is useful...

Have been accumulating testing results for my rigs over the last few years and put together a comparison just for the fun of it. Plus I was curious. For those that are curious about such a comparison too, here is a link to a html page.

Motherboard, Memory, & CPU - Overclocking Guide

Yes, I fully agree that controlling the CPU temperature determines the high end overclock because of the higher voltages required. Won't argue that point. I've chosen not to add cooling to the guide and instead noted that you want to monitor temps plus added cooling links for those interested...
