I opened a new thread sorry

They are NVMe (M.2) I have a "Asus ROG Maximus X Hero", but wouldn't thunderbolt use PCIe lanes too? Money is no concern, I would rather to it with ethernet, but thanks! Thank you! At the intel chipset spec site the max number of PCIe lanes is 24, so could it be a x8 link too?

Hello! I want to upgrade to 10GBit at home (well, the connection from Gaming Rig to NAS). The question now is, would I loose any performance on my Gaming Rig by doing so? I have: 1x i7-8700K 2 x 1080Ti 2 x Samsung 960 Pro 1TB, in RAID0 I want to add one 10G NIC (ROG AREION 10G ?) I kinda know that there is an "excess" of PCIe Lanes on the Z370 Chipset for the drives and other stuff. But will those be enough? Or will I loose any performance? Thanks in advance!

Yes, sorry! I meant which software to use... Thank you, I will try Veeam

You are right, its just the games, most save files are on the steam cloud anyway. I just like to have them backed up the games somewhere, since my RAID 0 array failed a few times (my own faults ^^). Since I download new games sometimes and sometimes there are big updates, I would like to back them up weekly and automatically (my NAS has a lot of unused space anyway).

Hello! So I run a NAS in my home (unraid OS) and want to backup my steam library which currently is 1,04TB in size. My documents and such are managed by the Windows 10 backup tool... Do you have any recommendations for a GOOD Backup software? I made some bad experiences with Acronis and Crashplan, but maybe because of trial versions? It should allow for 2 or more schedules and be as quick as possible ^^! Also I don't care for the price (as long as it's reasonable) and don't want any cloud stuff. Thank you very much in advance!

okay thanks! Could be the windows update thing, I did a fresh install like 2 weeks ago! Additionally, could it be my overclock? I remember a few years back, you had to increase the VCCIO (or whatever ^^) voltage too and do some fine tuning. But I kept it fairly low with 4,7 GHz

That could be the cause! I opted to install as few drivers as possible and let Windows do its stuff... (read it would be better, somewhere...)

Hello everybody! So since some time my PC feels so sluggish ... Many programs need way too long to start, Windows explorer takes forever sometimes to open file directories. I just want a fast experience when I am using my PC ! My Hardware shouldn't be the problem, I hope: OS: Windows 10 latest Update CPU: i7-6700K @ 4,7 GHz MB: Asus Maximus VIII Formula C drive: Samsung 960 Pro 1 TB D drive: 2 x Samsung 950 Pro 1 TB in Raid0 gfx cards: 2 x 1080 Ti (Asus FE) Last new windows installation ~2 weeks ago

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind!

It was a pack of 4 DIMMs (4 x 8GB). So I guess, if all slots are filled (Maximus VIII Formula [4 RAM Slots]), then I should be fine right? Thanks!

Since the motherboard has 8 slots you could, potentially, just put another Kit of 64GB into it. oops 2l8, sorry ^^

Hey Guys! So I have a stupid question, kind of. I got a "Dual Channel Kit" of DDR4 RAM (Link: GSKILL F4-3200C16Q-32GVK) Does it matter in which order i plug the DIMMs in? So, are they marked with like numbers or something to indicate which 2 DIMMs to put in the same colored slots? Thank you very much in advance! Best regards TomSerious

Just got my second 1080 Ti, thanks all ^^

Hello all. I just got my 1080 Ti. Now I am considering a second 1080 Ti (FE). Is it worth it? (Cost does not matter) Thanks!

I got a really big case so should be no problem, but I will throw away the cooler anyway ^^ Just ordered the Asus Founders Edition btw !

Then sorry for the misunderstanding and thank you!

Sorry to oppose, but if the temperature is lower you can OC a chip further. If I forget to adjust my fans (after I turned them down to run while I sleep) my CPU OC fails (normal 50°C max, low fans 70-80°C)! But anyway, my question was not asked correctly (I'll edit): If I can cool down the Founders Edition Card enough, will it be able to achieve the same performance / OC as the Strix one?

Hey all, I want to get the new GTX 1080 Ti and watercool it. Either the Founders Edition or the Strix one. My question now is, do I only pay extra for the cooler, * so do I get the same performance if I apply a better cooler myself? Thanks in advance! TomSerious * b4 edit: or is it possible to overclock the Strix card further than the Founders Edition?

Hey guys, so I am bored out of my mind and I am bored of the typical games I play (WoW, Assetto Corsa, TESO)... Could anyone recommend me a single player game? Or a way to find a game that's actually fun (I pretty much like everything, except retro games)? I have, currently, 666 games in my steam library but I go down the list and can't seem to find anything fun... Maybe tell me which game you play currently? Thank you in advance Cheers, TomSerious

Unluckily, I already reset the array and it works fine now, I did automaticly disable CSM though. Thanks anyway, but I hope I don't have to try that in the future haha.

Well, that option is greyed out Thank you for your help!

@goodtofufriday, thanks, I updated the original comment @pwn_intended, thanks for the information, but I changed it directly after the BIOS update was finished

Dear LTT cummunity! I hope you can help me with this one. A few minutes ago I updated my bios and that made my RAID 0 array fail. As in the attached picture, there is 1 drive missing but an "additional" drive down below which should correctly be the "missing" disk! It should be mentioned, that it's not a boot drive, but the storage array with all my games and documents (I can't remember if all my data on that storage array is backed up on my NAS) Additional note, everything was running fine for months, just after the (successful) BIOS update the raid array broke, everything else still runs fine. Hardware: i7-6700K at 4,8GHz 32gb of some Gskill RAM at 3200 MHz Asus Maximus VIII Formula Samsung 950 512gb (Boot drive) Samsung 850 Pro x 2 (should be Raid 0) GTX 1080 FE at ~1900MHz Custom Watercooling (EKWB) Has anyone any ideas? Thank you very much in advance! Best regards TomSerious

Thank you!! To clarify, I got a very nice desktop at home (i7 6700k 4,7ghz/gtx 1080/950pro/custom water cooling and so on ^^), I would just need the laptop on business trips to play in the evening or when I am at my gf and would do my on trip office work on it.
