About the same as my rig except I am using the slower Samsung 850 240GB SSD and a Noctua heatsink.

Can I assume seeing Noctua mean most likely using i7 6700k?

It is because 6700 is not that hot... 212X is much more than enought.

Nope, I am not using 6700K.



I had bad experience with one of Coolermaster non-backplate heatsink fan. The mounting wore off and the entire heatsink came off few years back.

Wow... Impressive setup with interesting components. What graphic card is that?

Asus Geforce GTX970 Strix modded with Artic Cooling Accelerro 4 cooler.

Wow... Btw, why you need so many HDD? Why not one bigger one?

Why are you assuming that those HDDs are small?

The HDDs are mostly 6TBs and two of them are 4TBs.

just sharing : Samsung 850 EVO

Why need so much storage? Home usages? Or office?

Home usage.

Why not?

Bro, same spec bought new last week, just that im using 850 pro. Skip 950 pro and wait for sm961 few more months to slot the empty m.2.

I7 6700k 4.7ghz, 32gb ddr4 3000mhz cl15, gtx970

But im not geek like you having more than 10gbs hdd

What cooler is that?

Looks familiar.

I am also skipping PCI SSD at the moment since I am quite happy with the current SATA SSD.

All of my computers are running SATA SSDs including old laptop. May not be as fast as PCI SSD but they have continued to serve me well.

It's cooler master 212x, the fan is great, 7x cfm, it keeps my cpu cool and around 60C on full load. and when idle it's around 38C to 42C depends on room ambient temp.

Yea, just wondering when the SM961 will be release. Lets keep an eye on the release. actually sata SSD is also doing well here, bootup time and loading is just a quick. Not sure can get significant gain or not after switching to nvme ssd.

My 212x only one fan. You add-on extr fan? How to fit?

Worth to add extra fan? How many lower temperature you manage to get?

No need add fan, no difference. Im using the original fan. It seems that the original fan is high grade fan.

Ok... Something wrong with mine. I never hear any sound from my new system.

Tonite will check if the fans are actually spinning.

HI guys,

I need help. I fail to enable the Samsung OS optimization... How can I enable it?

I also fail to enable RAPID mode...

Please help. I think my booting time still exceed 5 seconds...

Forget about RAPID mode - it gives you no tangible benefits, and your data could be at risk since it is cached on the RAM (i.e. if your power ever cuts out, then your files are rendered corrupted).

It is more or less inflating the benchmark score for showing off.

Exceed 5 seconds? How fast you want?

RAPID mode only works on SATA SSDs. I have a 840 EVO and I turned it off because it does not work at all.

Your SSD does not support OS optimization - by default the OS and firmware are good enough for that.

Thanks for all the information.

Possible to be less than 5 seconds... It would be really nice.

If it is not possible, what is the bottleneck? I/O speed again? What if I buy another Samsung Pro 950 and RAID 0 them to double the bandwidth? Will it be using 8x PCIe? Or sharing the same 4x PCIe? Is i7 fast enough to software RAID them?

Sorry for so many question as really newbies in SSD...
