Plastic brake covers are for women or morons.
- They collect dust
- They cause extra heat
- They can cause brake fade (get you killed)
- waste of money
- Anyone that knows anything about cars will think you are a phony and moron
- etc etc
yes go buy them.
I thought I explained the drives are indeed different. I swapped mounting areas and also ran tests outside the case. The drives are in raid 1 and nothing running. One drive runs hotter and its from the way it was manufactured. It has more vibration than the other drive.
Its expected to...
Its not too hot as its within the spec. But I looked up drive failure rates and temps. Right around 35c and above the percentage of drive failures starts a steep increase. Maybe a drive at 25c lasts 8 years and the same drive at 45c lasts 5 years.

I have two of these 5 platter drives. I put them in a Dell workstation with ECC ram for a NAS. They do run a bit hot and one of mine is hotter than the other by around 7c.
One runs at 33c other at 40c.
I swapped drives to make sure it was not the case location causing...
Unless he has SLI or Crossfire there is not gaming reason to get a IVY E over a I7 950.
Just admit you are addicted to hardware and have to have the latest needed or not needed.
In most cases its NOT worth it money wise. But if you want it for some sick reason due to addiction then fine...
Well thats a 6 core and a very nice 600.00 chip. If I had no cpu and were to get a new system that would be nice. Still not worth upgrade to me yet. Extra 2 cores would go to waste.
But would I want it? Sure why not!
You just had upgraditis. I have a I7-920@ 3.4 with a 770GTX and a I73770k with GTX 580. The 920 holds it own just fine in everything gaming. Better in most games than the faster 3770k I have due to its better gpu.
In SC2 (cpu limited) the 3770k will pull 5-10 more fps, not huge. I...
You ask very good questions, without the answers you seek. I think people just guess or spew off something they read but never verified.
I have over 12 cpus in my house from 16 core rack servers to old p3s. I pulled out a A64 3200+ single core with 2 gig onboard ram to see. I put a 8.00...
I have a 920 OC to 3.4 and just got a 3770K for son. I like the ivy for its power savings but it does not give me the WOW when I use his then go to mine. They feel same, both very fast.
In games not much different, as its mostly video card.
encoding, the intel hd4000 is faster than...
Juju has some sense. Its the OCD in people that makes them
agonize over ram timings overclocking etc.
You will feel zero difference if you do its just delusional thoughts.
Nice job! Glad to be of service.
Is this the card you ended up buying?
SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100352VXSR Radeon HD 7950 3GB for 330.00 (sold out)
Looks like a nice one.
Yes I have to agree, this reminds me of a women shopping for a dress.
Man up and buy the card already.
If you want quality I would stick with AMD. I liked the 570/580 nvidias but not the 670/680
they look good on paper but are junk in terms of quality. Something bad with the silicon...
I'm running CAT 12.3 but drivers before were fine too.
I have dual LCDs one is
Alienware 120hz 1920x1080
and
Viewsonic 1680x1050
They both run at native resolutions and also at different frequencies.
So my Viewsonic is running at 60hz at its lower rez and the Alienware is running at 120Hz...
Yes the video card drivers seem to have fixed it. This is not good for Nvidia gtx 670/680 owners. I have read many threads of people returning the card or reinstalling entire OS to fix.
Alt Tabbling in a game or even a pop up ad while in game (ie. steam, avast etc) seems to start the...
