I know this is off topic sort of... I have a 4870x2 took off all goop that was dried out and crumbling away, it's hard to tell by looking through the card but I have a row of VRM's(Longest Row like 4 of em) the space appears to be around .5mm between the HS and card would this tape be ok if I...
I don't think RAID0 works that way, I could make a 64gb partition and it would still split the data between the 2 disks and then my Reads would probably beat most SSD's I'm sure.
I copied 500GIG's in ISO's Movies etc from my RAID5 Apps drive last night and the copy never went under 180MB/s I never saw that with my 7200 drives in RAID0.
Started copying them back this morn to my Newly built RAID5(1TBx3) and it never went over 35mb/s... doh!
I'm happy with my Raptors but if I split my RAID0 drive in Half 300/300 it would smoke!
HD Tune 2.55(RAID0 2x300gb Raptors 1 partition)
Now I get:
Min: 136.6
Max: 231.1
Avr. 186.2
Access time - 7.2
Burst Rate - 185
I wouldn't worry too much, your temps are great, and that failure... meh probably something you wouldn't notice in day to day use, unless your folding or have some mission critical data that must be deadly accurate 24/7... UT3 should be just fine... :)
How do you set up your prime? Blend...
Please remember I modded the x2 BIOS and the Fan is running 40% minimum, In real life I don't hear it at all and it never spikes even in the hardest games... 40% is the best speed I would say for Quiet/Cooling.
I run 8k for about half an hour then 1024k to test memory for about the same ammount of time, to me that's solid. I could loop it overnight but I don't see a point in a$$ raping my CPU. If you're too overclocked Prime will fail just about instantly, if you fail after some time... it's usually a...
It is... and I went through a lot of boards for a lot more money(Sold em All) that don't come close to this thing for LGA775 quads.... I can do 4400 but it's just not stable enough for my taste... ;)
