Haha ya it's pretty cool looking HDD the Raptors xD Heatsink on the sides Yah, it's funny some old HDDs Ive had only lasted for like 5-6 years and died, while I got this one thats been working since 2006 Time to just leave it on for the next 10 years xD

Hi guys. What is the highest "Power-On Hours" you have on your HDD/SSDs? The winner gets a cookie Ever since I built my first high performance gaming PC in the mid 2000's I've been running this bad boy in all my rigs: WD Raptor 10K RPM 74.3 GB SATA Disk Which of you guys can beat me? 99153 Hours / 4131 Days / 11.317 Years "Power On Time". Edit: TBH, It's not been under "heavy use" for atleast 5 years xD But it is still plugged in and at good health , but it has been in use in like 5 rigs so far, and I will def. bring him with me until he dies

What kind of issues should I look out for? Computer suddenly switching itself off etc? It's been in use for my previous system which was a SB 2500K @ 4.5 Ghz + a GTX 590 (Later being replaced by my GTX 970), 16 GB RAM and alot of drives. Calculated I used around 600 watt at most during the 590 era due to how powerhungry the GTX 590 was. With the GTX 970 it was around 450 -500ish watts, so hardly ever stressed. However now it's in my new system which I bought last year, X299 i7 7820X @ 4.7 Ghz, 32 GB RAM and around 4 drives + 3 SSDs. Still using the GTX 970 (Upgrading to the next Geforce series most likely). During full load I would guess it's up to 600ish watts again due to how hungry X299 is. So still pretty far away from the 850 limit. My usage is mostly a mix of gaming and rendering, though mostly gaming lately.

Hi. I got an old Corsair TX 850W: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Power-Supply-Units/TX-Series™-TX850-—-80-PLUS®-Bronze-Certified-850-Watt-High-Performance-Power-Supply/p/CP-9020043-NA Bought this back in 2013. According to the specs it should work for about 100K hours before failing. I've had my previous PC, and my current new one running mostly 24/7 ever since using it. so I should be at about 40ishK run time by now. I am just wondering how long should I keep using it (for another 4-5 years until it reaches the 100K limit?) or if I should think about switching it out soon? I do not really want to replace my components if it fries everything when it (if?) kicks the bucket in the future. How long do you guys usually keep your PSUs before switching them out? It's been a great PSU so far and I do not think it will fail, but... Worth the risk? I have not had any PSUs die on me so far but I hear these horror stories .

Hi guys. Thought I would do myself a favour and retire 2 x 1 Tb WD hdds from 2010 and a 74GB Raptor hdd from 2007. They actually all still work kinda fine and my 10 year old raptor is still at 100% health according to Acronis Hdd Monitor. I want to make some more room in my case so I ordered myself a 4 TB Seagate Barracuda drive. Did some research and it seems it is one of the best GB per NOK HDDs in Norway. I guess I should also expect a speed bump since according to some benchmarks it hits around 150 MB read / write while my 2 old 1 TB drives maxed out at 80 MB read/Write and my raptor is at about 75 MB Read/Write. I was just wondering which software (free would be nice) I should use. My object is to clone the old HDDs and then glue them into my new 4TB Barracuda Hdd as a partition, so I do not need to reinstall everything I got. I used a cloning software before when cloning to my Samsung ssd, but it only works on Samsung drives. Any freeware software you guys can recommend? Thanks.

If I remember correctly, idle non OC was around 32-35, idle with OC its still aroound mid 30s to 38-39

Yeah, going to run AIDA64 for another 12 minutes, and then up the Ghz to 4.7ghz if its stable. Once I find a ghz/voltage ratio I am happy with Ill do an 1 hour one tonight. I guess try to get the temps stable at around 80*C mark. So far after 7-8 minutes my temps are at 70 - 77 under full load on Aida64. Looking good OK, Done now: https://imgur.com/a/bpqiy Ended up at 4.8 GHZ with 1.22v. Getting around 80*C during benchmarks (20 mins). Ill do a 1 hour one tonight. But I think its final.

Okidoki, time to run AIDA Shit, I need to find out how to hide images behind spoilers

Indeed. Been running CB15. I'll dowload AIDA64 as well, but is 1 hour really necessary?

I lowered the voltage to 1.20 and SYNCed all cores to 4.6 ghz, so far stable at 75*C (10 min benchmark so far).

Hi. Been fooling around with my i7 7820X and I did a quick and dirty OC without too much thinking, ramping the voltage from 1.0 to 1.25 and the Sync All cores from 4.0 to 4.5. With my AIO Nepton 240M I get around 76 - 83 C after 20 minutes of benchmarking. (Room Temp = 20C) I am just wondering what temps I should aim for with this CPU. I am planning on checking if I can dial back on the voltages and higher the frequency a bit more.

Yeah I just checked out Guru3D's article, the 2600K with a 4.3OC and GPU only peaked at 180 I knew they were not that power hungry, but damn !

Yeah perhaps. I used: https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator to get my numbers.

Thanks for the reply. Been using this one on my 2500K system with a GTX 970, load should be around 450 watt, so it has barely been "stressed". Upgrading to a much more powerhungry 150 TDP CPU and mobo, so the workload will go up drastically .

Guys, I am using an old Corsair 850TX, been using it since 2012 or 13? I am unable to find out which tier this is. I just ordered a new system and I am wondering if I should keep on using this or buy a better "tier" psu http://www.corsair.com/en-us/enthusiast-series-tx850-v2-80-plus-bronze-certified-850-watt-high-performance-power-supply
