I dont have a raid controller im using the onboard raid support of my motherboard. will it be an issue if i dont have a raid card ?

Alright thanks mikensan i decided to go raid 1+0 (raid 10) haha now my 12tb gives me 5.8 tb which is fine i want to know if one of my drives fail how do i repair the lost data do i just plug in a new hard drive and it will repair itself or do you need to do something. Im new to raid setups. But im very much liking the redundancy it helps alot incase of hardware failure.

R9 Nano (which is 10fps away from 980ti in benchmarks) or crossfire R9 390xs which is still cheaper then 980ti and will out perform it by miles. both of these options are either 600 to 700 AUD cheaper then 980ti

I have crossfire R9 280xs By XFX I always up date to latest software so no problems there. Now when i boot up my system it will wipe the drivers off the graphics cards. i boot up msi to see if the graphics cards are there and they are not also my AMD GAMING EVLOVED keeps telling me to update my drivers but when i do and i turn it off it will wipe the drivers off the graphics cards now this happens randomly it might not wipe it has happened 6 out of 10 times and im getting quit frustrated. There is a pick below of after boot up. ALso another issue is when im not playing games the GPU2 will run at 100% the whole time and heat up to 60 degrees without increasing fan speeds this is also quit frustrating and im wondering wether i should just send them back to XFX but i dont want to bother them yet with my (probably small issues) Thanks in advance

5Excellent work mikensan so this will help me attach a sata port card to a pcie slot without having to try and ran it in there. Could you also fine me a sata port card that would be very help thanks mate ?

Ok guys thanks for insight. I have decided it would be just so much easier to sell the cpu cooler and just buy the water cooler for practicality. I dont really care about computer noise at all its not a deciding factor when coming to performance. It could start up like a race car and i would still be happy Thanks all i hope you guys have fun and solve other peoples problems

Ok first problem with having this air cooler its bloody huge its legit 5mm away from my graphics card which i assume affects the cooling ability for both cpu and gpus. Now i want to know if i remove this massive cooler allowing more breathing room for my gpu and less heat near the gpus will it help keep gpus cooler. I already want this liquid cooler because of practicality and the way it fits in my case.i also want to know im a first time water cooler noob question income will it ever leak and how can i prevent it from ever leaking. Also performance wise how much does this watercooler kick that air coolers ass. Thanks in advance guys

Ok guys i have the cage installed i managed to cut away the lips using a small angle grinder (altho i would try bending them back and forth repeatedly until they weakin and snap) oh and please remove all hardware before you attempt any of that. The box looks very nice and flush up agaisnt my pc without a doubt makes me smile. Now next week or the week after i will be ordering 4 3tb nas drives in from PC CASE GEAR they are the seagate nas drives. (Have you guys had any problems with using nas drives in a enclosure.) Now i will be using up all my sata ports on my motherboard is there any other to insert more hard drives without using a pcie slot card (i got a crossfire setup that doesnt allow me to put in raid cards and sound cards ect) which also means i will be doing raid 1. Alright will report back when i have more for you guys

Alright thank you very much guys i have order a icy dock 5.25 dock to fit 5 drives in ill be grabing 4 of either 3tb or 4 tb nas drives and setting up either raid 1 or 5 depending on if i decide to get a raid card. Hahah oh shit i completely forgot about the lips ok that shouldnt be a problem considering i got some nice power tools to cut that shit away hahah ? ill report back in 8 days when i get the box Redwulf thanks for the insight to nas external boxes that has also given me some more insight cheers guys

OK guys i need help i have recently out grown my storage for movies tv shows ect. i got a 5.25 inch bay drive that can hold up to 5 drives my plan is to have 4 3tb drives in it. now should i get NAS branded hardrives ? or just normal ones i read and write from my current hard drive alot so im not sure. i want to setup up just one massive drive but im worried about hard drive failure i need some confidence and help from some pros at this sort of thing. Im thinking Raid 1 for relaibilty but im still unsure as to what to do. also i want to be able to use it like a NAS as well so just help me and tell me what i need to do in order for this to happen.
