  1. I recently bought a 2nd Seagate ST2000DM008 drive to create a RAID 0 setup with my other identical drive. After I connected the drive I went directly to BIOS (Gigabyte Z370 Gaming 7) and set up the array with the EZ RAID tool. However when I boot the PC different utilities report different drives. Both are recognized in BIOS, however only "Intel Optane Memory and Storage Managment" recognized one of the drives in the array. Now even the Intel RST software does not recognize the drives. In Device manager none of the drives are recognized, and in the partitioning tool the volume does not show up. Do you know how to solve this issue?
  2. The title is pretty much what I want to know. I unknowingly got a few drops of water into my Aquacool Laing DDC pump and ran it. Around 30 mins later I noticed extreme stuttering and found out that the pump wasn't running. From my experience with the loop at that point it might have been off for 30s. I then tried to change the headers and power cycle but well the pump is internally shorted, I found liquid inside. What is the likelyhood of it being irreversibly broken and thus not turning on vs it needing to dry and then work again? I need my PC up at full capacity fast and don't really want to express ship a new pump.
  3. From my roughly mocked up layout that's not really more compact... (Didn't have a fitting reservoir on hand tho). It's thinner, but wider.
  4. I'm currently working with a 3D model of a Zotac GTX 1060 AMP! with a custom waterblock. It's about 20-30mm shorter in every directioin, but even with the 1080Ti it should work.
  5. While the footprint gets smaller, the case gains in height. Putting the rad at the bottom would mean an additional 50mm. That's not really what I'm going for.
  6. Yes, everything needs to be water cooled, anything else would be an airflow disaster.
  7. So just using the PSU as an outer shell, I'd thought there was something more about those PSUs I didn't know.
  8. hehe, currently no contact to any case manufacturer, lower your expectations a bit
  9. I think if I will build a prototype it's going to get expensive... Basically everything has to be CNC-milled or handmade. Lenny
  10. I'm currently designing a mini ITX case from the ground up, focused on watercooling. It should house a mini ITX Motherboard, a 240mm Radiator, video cards up to 220mm, two SSDs and a SFF PSU. Of course, the case will be closed off (by TG on the side, a mesh on the front and rear and a semi-open top). This case is very custom. You will need custom watercooling, a custom PCIe Slot adapter and probably more things I didn't think of. My priorities are: airflow>design=user friendlieness Just give me some thoughts on the basic layout and proportions of the case. (It's actually 50mm longer as in the image) Lenny
  11. The BitFenix PSU "only" has a 5 year warranty, compared to the seasonic and corsair competition. Also, both the Focus Plus Gold and Platinum will make ROI in 8,7years. I meant the Focus Plus Platinum. Wasn't really clear in the post.
  12. ok, thanks. Both will make ROI, and I somewhat like corsair stuff more, so I'll go with that one.
  13. That would be 31$ in Shipping and other fees (total 87€), but thanks. Btw my location is germany <-----
  14. I'm looking for a new power supply since my current one is quite loud, not very effective (80+ Bronze) and has a problem with PCIe power. A few notes about my usecase: My PC is drawing an average of about 110W-130W, a maximum of about 270W. Therefore a 550W-650W PSU makes the most sense for me. also I'm looking for ROI compared to my current PSU in the next 8-9 years. (assuming 23€ wasted per year with my current one, 12€ with the RMx) So far I've broken down my options to the Corsair RM650x (90-92% efficiency, 90€) and the 550W Seasonic FOCUS Plus (90€ too). The only question remaining is: Does sombody know the actual efficiency of the Seasonic PSU at 230V? Also, is there something to watch out for with any of those models? Lenny
