  1. Does anyone know why do virtually all pascal laptops have not only half the battery life of their maxwell counterparts but also have much higher DPC latency? As can be seen in these quick examples (check the performance section for the DPC latency and the battery life): P55w (1060) - http://www.notebookcheck.net/Gigabyte-P55W-v6-Notebook-Review.195782.0.html GL502VM (1060) - http://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-ROG-Strix-GL502VM-Notebook-Review.187341.0.html Acer Predator 15 (970M) - http://www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Predator-15-i7-6700HQ-GTX-970M-Notebook-Review.166041.0.html I'm on the lookout for a laptop for audio (I'm a professional mixing engineer and need something for the occasional on the go mixing), I had a GS63VR that was absolutely terrible in the DPC latency department and it was ONLY better if WIFI was disabled in the device manager... That's absolutely insane, didn't matter what driver versions I used, I believe it might be due to the Killer NIC? Here's my post on that here --> http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/if-your-msi-notebook-has-micro-stutters-or-mouse-pointer-freezes-try-this.798873/#post-10451683
  2. Hi! I decided to move my 950 Pro to run from an adaptor to fully utilise its potential. I bought an ASUS Hyper M.2 X4 Mini and chucked it on the second PCI-E 16x on my z97 Pro. Now, in theory this would make both lanes run at 8x right? Instead, it's showing in the BIOS its running at 4x each as can be seen in the photo I took. I don't seem to have anyway to change this... Could anyone help me? The card itself supports 8x and 16x pci-e, so, if one lane runs at 16x, both should be running at 8x... I'm only pissed off because it's forcing my GPU to run at 4x... Cheers If I was to insert it into the 3rd PCI-E x16, I'd lose 2 USB ports at the back to be able to run it at 4x as can be seen in the manual: Also, just out of curiosity here's AS SSD on before and after.
  3. Yeah, in theory it makes sense. Will give it a go. One more question, which slot should I install it? My mobo is an Asus z97 Pro and this is what it says in the manual regarding PCI-E slots:
  4. Hi guys, Basically I've been running my 950 pro on my mobo's m2 connector but it's only x2, so I'm keen on buying an Asus Hyper m.2 x4 pci-e adapter. My only question is the following. Windows 10 is installed on this drive, so, moving the drive to the adapter, will I have to change anything in the BIOS or will it pickup automatically? I just don't want to go through the hassle of formatting everything as I'm in the middle of a few projects. Thanks!
  5. Basically, it's this exact tab: It shows exactly like this picture, NVME controller and Drive information is greyed out.
  6. There's no issues, just curiosity. On the UEFI under NVME it should say something regarding the drive or nvme drivers but it doesn't. I have the latest bios as well. Crystalmark scores around 700-800 read/write. Would be faster with a pcie adapter
  7. Hi everyone,I bought a 950PRO and am using it as the boot drive, running windows 10, everything is working perfectly, samsung nvme drivers installed etc.I do have a question though, I have an Asus z97 pro and on the UEFI if you go to NVME configuration (or something among those words) and it shows nothing within and Speccy shows the following:Is this normal? Although Samsung NVME drivers are installed, it shows on the Device Manager (it replaced the microsoft default ones) is it normal for the motherboard to not have anything inside NVME and for speccy to show unknown?
  8. I was a semipro in 1.6. GE in CSGO for fun, stopped playing and with update I'm LE atm. Add me to play some dank MMs, I'm from EU! http://steamcommunity.com/id/sptz87/

  10. From what I've gathered around tha few forums it's actually part of the asus probe sensor, so it shoul be OK to delete it since I don't use any asus software.
  11. Hi everyone,So, after a fresh install I immediately noticed this service running, I know this is Windows 10 pushing Asus crap on me (I own a z97 pro mobo). It did not install any actual Asus software, just the driver in the device manager for AMDA00 which includes this process.My main question is, how can I actually remove this? I know where the service is located, I can just simply remove that folder but what about the AMDA00 in the device manager? Is it safe to just uninstall it? I think this is just a probe thing to be used with Asus Suite which I don't use, nor any other asus software.thanks

  13. So, if you disable CSM in the BIOS so it forces it to just boot from UEFI devices. Will it boot from the USB disk drive (with Windows installation on it)? Will it also detect that "brand new" SSD?
