Does this look right to you?

Yes, precisely what I said - AS SSD reports the size of the logical disk, not the physical array. My disk is 300MB smaller than the one in the review, because the Windows installation created a 300MB reserved partition from the array. Anyway on the advice of a forum post I found, I disabled...

Capacity is different because mine is a Win 8 OS drive, and the first 300MB is a "system reserved" partition. Not completely empty, no - drive being tested has approx 80GB data. But would that account for an order of magnitude of 500% on the 4k write figure? Thanks! X79 / i7 / 16GB

Just found this screen of the exact same setup: Taken from: http://www.rwlabs.com/article.php?cat=&id=604&pagenumber=10 And the 4K speeds destroy mine. :( Any ideas?

2x Sandisk Extreme 240GB in RAID 0 on an X79 board I'm no expert, but I was expecting the sequential write to be nearer the gigabyte mark, and those 4K speeds seem a little on the slow side? Thanks!

Computer will not boot - very weird issue

Just had a good look. All the caps on the board are polymer ones without vents, so I don't think they would display the distinctive "bulge" even if they were failing. I did not see anything out of the ordinary. Thanks for the pointer though.

Computer will not boot - very weird issue

Hi all, My 1366 build (about two years old) suddenly would not turn on about six weeks ago. Power was getting to the motherboard (on-board LED was on) but pressing the power button (whether through the case button or on-board power button) did not turn it on. I started a process of...

DVI/Monitor/Single/Dual/Cable expert help needed please!

Hi guys. I currently have an 8800GTX feeding two monitors (identical three-year-old budget 19" 4:3 LCDs with DVI-D/VGA inputs) over the cables which came with the monitors, which are two-metre DVI-D single-link cables. My main PC unit is quite far away from the monitors, and the cable between...

Moving from NF4 to NF500

I have been running four hard drives using RAID on my DFI SLI-DR, which is an NF4 board. I am migrating to an NF590-SLI motherboard (Asus M2N32), which also supports RAID. As both controllers are by nVidia, is it safe to say that my drives will work on the new board if I set up the arrays...

Need quick answer on PSU diagnosis question

Galvanized, thanks so much. I opened the baby up (Antec TPII, as it so happens!) and took a good look inside. Two of the small caps (about a half inch high) on the main board have a little brown stuff seeping out right at the top, in the middle of the "pie" if you see what I mean. I guess...

Need quick answer on PSU diagnosis question

After about 18 months my PC simply wouldn't turn on with the first hit of the power button, and it would take a few jabs to get it going. It got progressively worse until last week, which is when it stopped working altogether. I tested the PSU by shorting the power pin with a GND pin, and it...

F.E.A.R. & Quake 4 Thread

Have you considered the mechanics? Slow motion wouldn't work in FEAR multiplayer - one person cannot be slowed while the other plays in real time.

Leaked ATi Slides

I haven't read every reply, but if nobody has mentioned it I feel I should: Those slides are from an internal presentation and were never meant for public release. These companies produce that sort of material all the time, including nVidia, and they are always tongue-in-cheek to keep the...

6800GT SLI or 7800GTX?

Exactly! People don't seem to realise running two 7800GTXs does not mean you have redundant power - case in point: with 16x AA/AF at 1280x1024 with everything maxxed, I get ~5fps. Now somebody tell me there is no point to SLI. The fact is you can run games with so much cranked up than you...

X1800, X1600, X1300 Sell Sheets

Guys, read my comments in this thread: http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?p=1333943515#post1333943515 I am convinced these spec sheets are fake. They are grammatical and textual inconsistencies galore.
