Perhaps I use the word wrong. That is a clone isn't it? I'd consider a clone a mirror...

Of course, I'm like Ryan here...just trying hard.

Ah. Mirror is usually a reference to a RAID.

Wanted a Vertex 4, but the 840 was $90 cheaper randomly the day I bought it.

You got a great drive. It actually has rated faster than the other ones in certain instances.

I'll stripe when I build next.

For now, my storage drive was dying. Boot drive was 55gb of 60gb so I thought I'd upgrade them both. Add a 2nd 840p when I by a new mobo and have time to rerip Windows and all my automation shit.

Just mirror the 60 onto the new 256 and copy my fresh backup onto the data disk.

Not that the speed is even close to useable on our machines, but it's a lot like owning a turbo S. Not useful for most practical things, but when you can use it, it will put a smile on your face.

Shouldn't have read about cloning first...easier.

<-still hasn't read the link I'm posting.

again. It talks about an image...that I don't have. I do have 3 copies of the same thing now though.

I could boot off anything. Lol

Amusingly I should have done what I originally wanted which was to mimic what I setup for my dad. I imaged his drive after I built his machine in case I had to restore. Figured it'd be good to test it out on my own. Helped me rationalize the new SSD, lol

Mono=Asus

They have been rock solid in the last 4-5 builds. My cheepo (for a hyper game machine) mono is managing a decent 30% OC on my CPU for me. It feels no stress.

My office chairs now have that new car smell.

Detailed them with some Mothers/meguires cleaner/protector.

Lmao

Watched the video, and you are right. It has some great points, and is something I'll be trying out over the next few interviews. Especially at the DOD interview, and th Verizon FIOS one.

I would love to replace all my fans with noctua fans.

The radiator for the coolant on the CPU is a little loud, as are the others. It wouldn't make too much of a difference however, it's the damn GFX cards that make all the damn noise anyway.

Those loud sons of Bitches are annoying in stereo.

I have done it a long time to great success. Now someone did the math to prove what I knew to work. Maybe I should say believed to work.

Well played.

My computer is in my basement, monitor and such in the kitchen.

Your distance is nice. Makes it ok to go with louder cheeper fans... Or maybe not cheeper, just ones that move the most air.

I never thought it was reasonable, but I might be inclined to water cool my GFX cards next time.

The cost is kinda silly for the set up, but the much quieter operation would be cool. Big radiator, maybe even put it externallyand have a few silent fans on it....

I am so happy with the stand alone water cooler for my processor. It functions so amazingly well. It's cheeper than the top of the line air coolers, and keeps the processor chilly Willy as all hell.

I do nothing to make heat, but have plenty o'120's in the case. Figure cooler is happier.

That thing, but I got it for less and got $15 mail in rebate.

It will massively extend the life of your machine and the speed at which it runs over time... And to the real point, it allows you PC to stay relevant longer. I can spend half the $$ and run a moderate overclock and the processor will stay cool so it won't have the wear and tear.

My tower has a cool design of a pair of big 200's on the top of the case. So I can use naturally rising hot air properties to my advantage.

The radiator for the CPU rides under the top and I effectively have a push pull radiator flow. Pluss then the radiator itself helps cool the tower.

The ideal set up is a tower with only a couple fans and a pump, and then an external radiator with a Fuck load of fans.

SSD will also usually cut heat down too. No moving parts, and less electric draw = cooler running.

The case being key to good flow. The PSU is the real hot part, so when you can, have it at the top of the case.

My case is the Nzxt Phantom full tower. I got the white one because it was $20 bucks cheeper at the time... Maybe even a bigger discount. I can always take it to the paint booth and give it a pump paint job!

I wanted Orange real bad, but I'm too thrifty.
