  1. Thank you both, I have ordered an 850 evo 500GB
  2. Do you have any replacements in mind that you would recommend I get? Ideally around the £60 mark for each drive?
  3. I have followed what you said and I have TRIM enabled and I optimised all of my drives but the results are still the same unfortunately
  4. I checked this earlier, my C drive is in slot 1 and my E drive is in slot 2 and my HDD is in slot 3, with my disk drive in 4
  5. I'm using Windows 10 Pro x64
  6. Hi, I currently have two SSDs and one HDD in my PC. One SSD is a Kingston 120GB (I cannot remember the product number but I believe it's the V300) and the other is a quite old OCZ 60GB one. I have ran CrystalDiskMark 5.1.2 x64 on both drives and I cannot achieve anything above 180MB/s Read and 85 MB/s Write from either drive. Quite strangely, the results from both drives are pretty much the exact same. I have both drives in Sata 3 slots in my Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard, both of which are using sata 3 cables as well. I have attached screenshots showing the results from all my drives. The C and E drives are the SSDs
  7. Hi, I'd like to just finish this top off by saying that Rockstar eventually got back to me and told me I had to change a setting deep in the .ini files of the game. They gave me specific instructions on where it was and everything, so good on them even though it was unplayable for quite a while. Thanks for all your help and suggestions anyway
  8. My drivers are currently on the Beta ones released for GTA V specifically and everything else is up to date. I also seem to be having problems with other games, but the list is very specific. Games such as: Batman (all of the Arkham series) & Dead space barely work whereas games like the Talos principle seem to run fine.
  9. Hi there, my pc build is as follows: - AMD FX-8350 @ 4.3 - MSI R9 290X OC Edition - 8GB DDR3 RAM - Corsair 650M - WD 1TB My issue is, whenever I am playing Grand Theft Auto V, I can only manage to run the game on the lowest settings and even then the fps is below 20. Surely this can't be normal for my build. Any advice you could give would be much appreciated.
  10. Thanks for your help Today, I did as you said and; I changed both the side fans to be intakes and changed the two fans on the H100i to be out-take fans. This has led to an immediate drop of around 8-10C in idle temps from both my GPUs, the main being at 48-50 as oppose to 58-65, and the second one being at a constant 38 as oppose to a constant 50. I have yet to test this under load, but I will get back to you in a couple of hours when I do. Again, thanks for all the help you guys have offered me. UPDATE: I have just run dying light for approx. 30-40 minutes and the temps never rose above 76C. I wasn't expecting such a drastic improvement. Thank you so very much for helping me out :)
  11. Would that still be the case when using a H100i? The reason I have the setup in the way I do is because Corsair "recommends having the H100i fans as intakes". Also, wouldn't this mean that I'd be passing much hotter air through the radiator which would affect the cooling performance of the H100i?
  12. Thanks for the help, could you possibly link me to the video where he discusses this? Also, would you say that the temperatures are okay for these cards then? I'm worried simply because of the other build I saw with the exact same cards as me, but reaching 10C lower
  13. Thanks for the advice. However, on my current case the 300R, I have two 120mm fans on the side panel which are extracting air from both graphics cards.
  14. Surely this wouldn't be right because they both do the exact same Any advice you could offer me to remedy this? Would it still reach 95C though, it seems extremely hot for any card. The reason I'm asking is because I have looked around and found people with similar setups barely touching 85C
  15. Hi there, Recently I purchased two R9 290x's from MSI, I chose MSI because of their relatively good reputation and because their card appeared to run cooler than a reference card. To date, my main card will run at approximately 95C when under load, the fan will max out and it will then lower the clock speed to keep it at a constant 95C. Surely this can't be normal operation for a card which isn't reference and any help you can offer me would be greatly appreciated. P.s. My second card in the crossfire only hits around 80c but does the exact same just in reverse when I switch the cards around.
