The problem with using sponge is that it will trap heat, because it is mostly air. Air is a terrible heat conductor.
*
simpler way to avoid heat trap just cut sponge/rubber ( if can find thicker/ harder is better)
so just cut into few pieces and put on each corner.

guys, im considering either M4 or vertex 4, is vertex4 a good buy ? 128mb SSD i mean.
*
vertex 4 currently one of the fastest, but with quite few hot case of BSOD
if want fast n reliable. i rather take M4..
peace of mind

What if i get 128 Crucial M4 and 1TB seagate instead?

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...4269&hl=crucial
get the 128 from here how bout it? RM385

PS : I never used SSD before
*
take 128+1TB better..
3TB is quite risky if kaput

gonna buy my first SSD today, what should i do once i get it?

Crucial M4 9mm 128gb

I heard something about after install and boot up an OS, i need to adjust a cache or something. is that correct?
*
1st of all..
enter ur bios and set sata setting to AHCI ( for TRIM support )
then if u lazy n love ur old installation, u can just clone ur old C: drive into ur M4
or else.. start with clean windows installation.. (please remove old HDD 1st if u wan to follow this route, only connect it back after ur new windows on M4 is up and running.. )
cache etc i suggest download crucial tool lor..

What's crucial tool? a tool that comes with the SSD?

http://blog.superuser.com/2011/05/10/maxim...me-of-your-ssd/
is this good to follow?

So basically.

- Remove ALL HDD
- Install SDD
- Bios > SATA Setting AHCI
- Load up an OS
- Install back the HDD
- Bios > SDD as 1st boot
- Crucial Tool
- Follow steps http://blog.superuser.com/2011/05/10/maxim...me-of-your-ssd/

that guide is great help.
owh yeah..
check ur firmware if its already updated or not.
http://www.crucial.com/help/ssd/index.aspx?source=web
( ur seller can help u update if u ask him )

bracket not dat really expensive. i bought 4 sets bracket frm viewnet last 3mth @ RM20 each. i think its kingston oem bracket. u may run ur ssd without bracket, u cud use a velcro tape to secure ur ssd (RM5 @ daiso).
*
ya lor.. ssd is yeah u know it.. "SOLID"
u just doublesided tape it, slap on ur case ( on any orientation oso no problem) n leave it there for years.
no biggie..

The cable management can be better.
abnormal placement of RAM sticks should be installed like 0 1 0 1
*
Yeah.. i think oso can. but dunno how to route already.
cable quite hard to bend also.( case is USP 100, PSU CM 650W )
just finish pasang and in process of cloning my hdd into that m4

sharp eyes notice that ram.
i just test tat 1-2 socket before that, cant boot. so when i put on 2-3, okay. can boot.
so just let they stay that way until finish cloning 1st.
but bios n cpuz detected as dual channel also. blush.gif

It might be better to get someone with an Intel-based motherboard with both SATA 3.0 Gb/s and 6.0 Gb/s ports, and then have them post the boot time benchmarks using the different SATA ports. It is straightforwardly simple and eliminates any doubts due to different hardware component performances.

im just using h77 mobo only.
what intel mobo have sata 6?

H77 has two SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports and four SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports. You can do the test that I have suggested. smile.gif
