Returning the drive is not necessary. I am actually quite impressed with the drive compared to my Sata 3 SSD. Quite reasonable in price too.

I have no major concerns really. I was just interested in the two 4k speeds being different from other M.2 speeds I've seen.

Hello all, I've recently purchased the Samsung PM961 Polaris 256GB M.2 SSD for the main replacement of my Sata 3 SSD. I am currently using it on the PCI-E 3.0 x16 lane (running at x4) on my Z97 Vii Ranger (Asus) using the Asus M.2 X4 PCI-E Mini Adapter Card, which I believe should give it...

Hw monitor has my 3.3V at 3.344, my 5V at 5.080 and my 12V at 12.192. I replaced my old old corsair PSU because it was buzzing at high loads.

I'll just launch the Blu-ray drive from a cannon. Give it a good send off.

Hello all I recently purchased a Corsair RM750x PSU that recently came out. I replaced the old PSU and put the new one in, connected everything easily as they were before etc. The issue started when i turned on the computer. First thing i could smell was a fresh plastic smell that filled the...

Hi guys Yesterday i changed the thermal compound on my CPU as it wasn't that great. I think i was using MX-2. Anyway, after i changed the thermal compound, i got a 55 error on my motherboard, and the computer only boots if memory DIMM slots B1 and B2 are populated. If i use the first two A1 and...

Might as well get the Kelvin S36 if you need 360mm.

Some tests (v-sync applies): Watch Dogs Ultra at 60fps (with e3 mod) Battlefield 4 on Ultra at 60fps. Elite: Dangerous at 60fps maxed in crowded systems. All of that and it hits 70c What a card.

I've decided to keep the 780Ti due to the fact that it's overclocked and edges the 970 in some games. The card is new and was priced very similar to a 970. And 5 years warranty is better than most 970s with 2. Edit: System specs updated.

I have recently acquired a Zotac GeForce GTX 780Ti AMP GHz Edition and was wondering how it fares against the 970? I am asking this because I have an opportunity to get a 970 in its stead. Many thanks.

Update: I've replaced my cooler with a Raijintek Ereboss and temps are 61-63c load under BF4. Ambient temp of 20C

Is it possible to turn off the intel graphics chip? (I'm using dedicated 280x) Would it effect the temps? Intel says T max is 72c for Devils canyon. How come people are hitting above this and not having trouble?

I am using the pea method yes. I apply a pea size blob in the middle, then apply the heat sink and fan. I've used Mx-2 and Mx4. I prefer Mx4 for its spreadability. Not OC. It's at stock 1.2v 4ghz
