QUOTE(everling @ Jun 18 2012, 02:17 PM) 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. |

QUOTE(bontotalan @ Jul 3 2012, 10:58 AM) gonna buy my first SSD today, what should i do once i get it? 1st of all..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? 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.. |

QUOTE(owikh84 @ Aug 1 2012, 06:54 AM) The cable management can be better. Yeah.. i think oso can. but dunno how to route already.abnormal placement of RAM sticks should be installed like 0 1 0 1 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. |

QUOTE(everling @ Aug 3 2012, 04:25 PM) 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? |
