You mean if I did a clean install after moving parts around? I did though I have thought about doing that again to see if it helps before spending money on a psu. I'll try that tonight
I've been dealing with this issue since September. If I don't let my PC go to sleep, it'll run with 0 issues. If I let it go to sleep, 30% of the time it either...
1) shuts down completely
2) black screens and i hit the power button the pc just shuts off. typically if I hit the power...
Yeah, the design doesn't make sense. I emailed Fractal about it and they did say all the other cases came after it - oh well. I ended up ordering a 3.5 caddy thing to place both ssds that I have
It seems like a really odd decision for Fractal to not put caddies in the back and expect to install the ssds before installing the motherboard (and I think PSU). Wondering if anyone ended up handling this differently. I thought about using velcro tape but not sure what that will do with heat...
I recently upgraded my video card to a 1080 and now feel like I might as well upgrade the rest since I can donate my current pc to my sister.
Anyway, I'm a little torn on what to do since Kaby Lake is around the corner. It seems like performance wise it shouldn't make much of a difference...
Hi thanks for such a detailed write up. Very helpful. I wanted to ask a question about the server. Does the server need to be always on because of the domain setup? Or can you log in locally on clients and use as normal? With WHS, the server could be asleep till needed but not sure how...
Mushkin, you're right that it can be my hard drives bottlenecking but I've been using the same drives for a while now. Never seen these speeds. But to answer the question, all the drives are green drives so will be slower.
Saratoga, I'm starting to think it's the cable too. That or the...
For the last month, my speeds have been really slow in between PCs. Nothing really has chanced on my end so I'm not sure what is going on
1) I've tried connecting everything directly into the router (I'm using switches) and that doesn't help
2) I tried changing the NICs (each PC has two)...
I made the change back then and my drives are still running
I also got rid of my mediasmart server and built my own. The server could have been the reason why my drives were failing too. I went through several drives during that period and lost a bit of data. 0 issues since then
This worked flawlessly for about 6 months till recently where my system doesn't even attempt to go to sleep. I can't figure it out and even after reformatting / reinstalling (not for this) I still have the same problems. I also tried switching to a different NIC (different manufacturers with...
Is there a way to confirm within Windows that AHCI is set up? I ended up redoing my WHS v1 set up along with enabling AHCI in my BIOS but I'm not sure if it's actually enabled in Windows.
Thanks for the info. Is AHCI really a requirement for hot swapping? I just did a custom WHS build and I'm pretty certain that I didn't switch it from IDE. Not that I really plan on hot swapping all that much but I'm thinking if a drive fails etc. I have my drives in a 4 bay hot swap cage but...
