You should get a whole lot of test pots and just let rip

Yeah okay that would be a lot of work and risk. I am only using this computer for gaming. but i still want to push the overclocking limit to the max. Maybe i should stress test my cpu by playing the games instead of using a stress test software? because my temps are about 15c lower when playing games.
 
I am gonna try to bump the cache to 46x  today and see what happens.
 
i could imagine your reaction when pump failed, but there was a positive outcome out of the pump fail. hope that you will be up ad running soon.!

I'm bias due to working for them, but I'll be honest :P
 
-ISP Name -- Lightwire Limited (New Zealand)
-What speed you're supposed to get -- Custom solution, >20mbps
-What speed you actually get -- 30-40mbps
-Rating (Out of 5) -- 4 (due to PPPoE sessions being dropped 3-5 times per day)

sort of, There are ways to maintain DRM and transfer files from one owner to another. It will be just the DRM's that prevent that that will have to be removed.
 
I like that the government here is starting to look out for the consumer, but they could have started years ago rather than living with their heads in the sand.

Damn it feels good to be non-American, non-tin foil, and non-paranoid. I didn't pay for it, you did.

Humm, this

Tinfoilhats everywhere ppl

Yes..

Is the PSU fan taking air from the case or from the outside?

Yeah same as me about 30 minutes in blue screened, still got some work to do

Nope, the way it put's load on the CPU is designed specifically to create high temperatures, which you'd never get in any real-life workload. The load it puts on the CPU isn't realistic, just heat inducing. I for one would rather not risk shortening the lifespan of my cpu.

I am more interested to see if these will become optional on mITX. Imagine the speed of a PCIe drive in a very small for factor pc. 

840 is the best out of them all, o and the diffrence between it and the pro version is not noticiable and not worth the price jump

Yep, so if it is cheaper then get it. 
 
In reality because your cpu, motherboard, ram, psu etc is not the same as the test bench PC you will get slightly different results.  A marvel controller might provide slightly better performance in your system than a sandforce or vice versa. 
 
As I said before you have narrowed it down to 2 disks, they will both perform adequately. We are just splitting hairs no about which one is best.
 
Get the cheaper one. you won't regret it. ;)

Thanks for the advice :) I just want to ask about the read/write speeds. My hard drive does about 150-190MB/S. So if the SSD is lets say 300 MB/S that means it is at most twice as fast as the hard drive?

Yes, read speeds will definitely be noticeable and could easily halve boot time/average load time.  However forget write speeds, you won't notice a difference anyway. the actual speeds you get will be slower than the advertised and in all likely hood any large files you write are probably going to be either downloaded thus limited to your net speed or from an optical drive, which again is much slower than the hard drive.

This really makes me wonder why people care so much about which SSD they get :P btw, I read somewhere that SSDs are 900 times faster than hard drives due to latency??

AS I said earlier, we research the best components because we want the best bang for buck, you are researching because you don't want to buy an ssd that turns out to have issues or is unreliable.  You ask us which is the best because the sum of experience on these forums is big enough that you will end up with good advice.  Some people will spend more because they specifically want the fastest write speed (random or sequential) some might just want the cheapest drive that makes no noise. It's simply horses for courses.
 
Now stop asking questions and just buy the thing :D

I just went to purchase the 840, but when I went to the store the salesman said that he has had many customers return their 840 SSDs due to failures and reliability issues. He then recommended the Kingston V300 instead, and said that if I saved up a bit I could even get the HyperX 240GB. Normally I wouldn't trust this advice, but I know him very well and when a salesman actually refuses to sell a customer a certain product, there has to be some credibility behind his words...So now I'm back at home wondering what to do :P

they must have a bad batch, buy online or go somewhere else.

Hello Everybody,
 
So I have this modem, and I have had it for a while, but it recently started overhearing for some unknown reason. I contemplated putting a heatsink in the main processor, however I did not have one that did not interfere with other components, so I found a (what I think) very original solution:

 
My question is has anyone else ever done anything silly but necessary like this?

But the Sandisk has nearly twice the write speeds of the Samsung if I'm not mistaken

space-sniffer and windirstat are both good for that.

I'd still go the Samsung,  I have just put an 840 in my wife's  netbook and the performance difference was huge. It used to take a good 15 sec to open IE now it is about 2 sec. Boot time is less than 40sec where previously it took about 1 and 1/2 minutes.  for the OS and few select games I would go the 120G.
 
In my pc I have a 120G OCZ vertex 3 and a 2TB Seagate for storage and general program installation.  For me this is the perfect setup.

Should I go with the 120GB 840 pro or the 240GB non pro?

I would go non pro either way, 120 has been fine for me with a 2Tb storage drive but if you don't have one then the 240 is a better bet.
 
 
You can already get PCIe drives.  OCZ make the revodrive. Quite a good unit but In my opinion the performance speed is not enough to justify the cost.
