  1. So I have an SN750, 500GB, and currently I am running my OS off a Kingston 250GB Sata SSD. I am wondering if I should be using the SN750 as my new OS drive, or if I should use it as drive for a studio application that has to fetch a lot of resources and then video process using adobe premier. If I use an NVME SSD for games and stuff, will their speed be limited by the OS SSD? What should I be using this SN750 for?

    Hmm, that is strange. The drive is only rated for 950 MB/s (SLC sequential write) at that capacity due to its denser flash although technically it can spike up to 1250 MB/s, the TLC speeds should be in the 250-300 MB/s range. The SLC is static and probably ~6GB in size. Normally in HD Tune (possibly need Pro) I run "Full test" at maximum "Accurate" with a 128 KB block size to test the SLC response.

    I upgraded to a Gigabyte Aorus Elite 570 which supports NVME drives natively, and ran the test again, same result. I ran the test your way though, and instead of the lows being at 300MBPS, the lows were 500. 

  3. So guys, I recently cloned an old intel SATA SSD to a WD Blue SN550 NVME drive. I then placed the drive into a PCIE 3.0 adapter, from M.2 to PCIE 3.0x4, and then I plugged that into my Asus Maximus 6 Formula motherboard. After that was done I ran TRIM on the NVME drive and then ran HDTUNE bench mark and got this...

     

    So what happened?

  4. Hello Linolians, I am looking to upgrade my current monitor but I am not too familiar with all the different models out there and was wondering if anyone knew a monitor that would fit my needs and be like the go to monitor to move to. 

     

    Currently I am using a asus vn279QL monitor, I will list the specs below.
    Panel Size: Wide Screen 27.0"(68.6cm) 16:9
    True Resolution : 1920x1080
    Full HD 1080P : Yes
    Pixel Pitch : 0.311mm
    Brightness(Max) : 300 cd/㎡
    ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio (ASCR) : 100000000:1(BS I know)
    Viewing Angle (CR≧10) : 178°(H)/178°(V)
    Response Time : 5ms (Gray to Gray)
    Display Colors : 16.7M
    Refresh Rate: 60Hz

    Pan Type: VA

    Now my main problems with this monitor is that it's capped at 60HZ, it's capped at 1080p, and it has no freesync or gsync capabilities. (I am currently using a 1070ti)
    What I like is that it's 27inches, which means it's pretty big, it has a brightness of 300nits and not something abysmal, and the contrast ratio is higher than the other panel types because it is a VA panel.

    Currently, I am looking to upgrade to a monitor that is at least 120HZ, g-sync or freesync capabilities (I heard Nvidia can now use freesync....) at least the same size, same or better brightness, and I am looking for a 1440p minimum resolution. I do live in Canada, and I also don't have a billlioonnn dollars to spend, I am hoping for something in the $400-600 range. 

    I have looked at some monitors myself, but I am asking if there are any hidden gems anyone might know of that fit the bill for what I need. If there isn't I will trawl through all the monitors I can find 1 by 1 but I thought I'd ask first.

     

     

  5. Well your motherboard supports 9000 series CPUs I believe, so depending on how much money you want to spend you can get up to the 9900KS, but as far as the minimum I would upgrade to, the i5 9600 is probably the minimum. You're looking at 2.9 vs 3.7GHZ in base clock speeds. Anything more powerful than the 9600 is an option, but anything lower isn't going to give you a big performance boost.

    If you're running Windows 10 it should take the upgrade w/o issue.

     

    You should however go in and manually uninstall any drivers like chipset, ethernet, and audio, and then just install the drivers corresponding to the hardware you upgrade to! :)

    Ah okay, that makes sense. I am running windows 10, my current system is old, Asus Maximus 6 with i7 4770, I was going to upgrade when the ryzen 4000 5nm CPUs came out. so when the time comes, if I uninstall the chipset drivers, I should be fine using the new system without re-installing windows?

    If you're changing motherboards you should do a clean install.

    If not, no it's not necessary.

    I will have to change motherboards, because I want to go from an i7 4770 to one of the Ryzen 4000 5nm CPUs when they come out.

    Size doesnt matter, it's how you efficiently utilize the space inside.

     

    The Fractal Design Define R6 and Define 7 are cases that can support both that long GPU and a lot of hard drives simultaneously, while being smaller than your current case. (Also comes in white for that modernized 1995 look ;))

    Thank you, when I looked into fractal designs i found they had a case that came in XL size, so it had the ability to store 8 SSD/HHD and 3 5.25 inch, plus enough size for my long GPU.

  8. Hello fellow Linolians I have a really large graphics card, its the the MSI 1070ti Duke 312 x 140 x 40 mm in size, and sweet mother of nutmeg it is very long and too long for my current biggo case. I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for extra large cases that can accommodate such a large package and also has a lot of drive bays because I have 7-8 drives hooked up at once, but also looks nice. I don't care about RBG, but I don't want like a white plastic case that looks like it was made in 1995.

     

    Currently I am using the Antec Lanboy air and it is not big enough.

     

    Please hep.
