Ahh right okay. Good luck 

Missed the edit on this, I'll be doing the RAID from a hardware level in the BIOS (hopefully)

I noticed it when I was running a non-UEFI install on just the one SSD, but I don't think I'll notice on a RAID 0 non-UEFI install.

Somewhere a 14 year old is having an asthma attack after watching this..
 
Thanks @nicklmg

yea it could, the plug could trickle power from the storm and mess woth things.

So I set the computer to run a memtesk (passmark memtest) and left at ~60% on pass one, come back and my machine had booted back to windows, I am going to assume that there was a power failure somewhere along the line and it continued with normal boot.
 
@Raffy98

Edited that in or I missed it after the fact lol
 
Absolutely you can, doing it right now lol
 
The 660 only came out 3 years ago, assuming that they are new, they are still under warranty, they only came out September 2012

Here's a guide, I followed it to do my install, pretty straight forward

I love when people have one bad experience with a product, all of the sudden its a piece of shit.........

I don't really wanna do the razor method, the traces are too close to surface for my liking. Much rather use the block method or vice method.

I have used both Artic cooling MX-4 and Noctua NT-H1 and they worked pretty well for me.

Well then I may have to get that stuff instead.
 

I don't need a billion GHz out of this chip, it's still a really good performer for what I need it to do, I ran it at stock speeds on a stock cooler for 2 full years before I decided I wanted to try my hand at overclocking.
It's been fairly warm here in the last few weeks with summer and all, so I figure if I can suck a bit of heat out then I may as well, and I read about doing this at the time but didn't matter much since I was only on stock air cooler.

Most testing software only test one piece of hardware at a time and doesn't account for conflict, test from within windows to make sure nothing is conflicting with something else.

This is getting old now.

Just remember most Techies and manufacturers suggest that you DO NOT DEFAG AN SSD.
 
Heh, defag

This case is great, I am actually able to mount it directly to my desk so that I can max out my desk space.

I'd rather hack this case up a bit and see if that fixes the issue first, then buy a new case if it doesn't work.

But I won't lie, that Phantek case I kinda like the look of.

Who needs grounding when you have socks and sandals?

Tell that to an old Canadian Loonie (One Dollar Piece)

I wouldn't even worry about that, that's dick all.

If it was more like someone had stepped on the rad and left a massive dent in it the size of say a cup bottom then there's room for concern, but that I wouldn't even bother worrying about.
 
 

Talk to your friend without being in game? You mean the magical thing known as skype?
