Does anyone know how to get an entire 3TB of a 3TB drive to show up on an X79 system?? I has EFi bios but it can only show 2TB for some reason

There should be a setting in the bios to enable uefi boot or something like that

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Got that setting on but it still isnt working

Is it internal or external? format GPT

 

[FreedomEclipse]

NVM, researched how to use diskpart and formatted it in GPT TWICE before it would fully initialise as 3TB instead of 2TB+800Gig-on-the-side+MBR.

fucking infuriating - and i fixed the fucking NAS because it was showing up as 100mb connection instead of 1Gig.

And to think i thought id be up all night fucking with something so trivial is unbelievable.

Hmm, thinking of picking up a Steelseries 6Gv2 off PCW for £60

I've been noticing PCW actually sell certain products at decent prices. I've bought a few peripherals from there in the past recently. Last was a Steel Series Sensai RAW mouse for about £40-£45. Unfortunately I couldn't adapt to it so after a week or so i went back to my trusted 3+yr old G9 Logitech mouse.

I've also seen a few SSD's at online prices or cheaper, unfortunately they're never the latest releases.

It's reassuring that if something goes wrong you can pop down and get it sorted without RMA nonsense.

I got my RAW off amazon for £33, but that is another story

I agree that PCW is actually offering competitive prices for a lot of things, Sennheiser Momentum is on price parity with Amazon. Pretty impressive seeing that they have to fund a big box store.

I can type without lights thanks

Been using G11 with the backlights turned off for years now, upgrade bug itching.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Yeah I do that occasionally - touch typing in the dark just makes my keyboard skills stronger.

Well I am used to typing without looking at my keyboard unless I am looking for specific keys (those pesky ~:¬ symbols, no standards at all between keyboards )

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Not many people know how to touch type. though i would say at best i am average at it. I just cant seem to 'flow' very well but I know of a few people whose hands move over the keyboard really fluid like while they touch type and can keep up a constant WPM ratio.

I think part of the reason why my typing is so inconsistent is because Im using a K90 with black switches, when i switch over to my laptop which has the chicklet style keys, I totally fly when it comes to typing

You are probably used to your laptop's keyboard. I have problems going from my laptop's keyboard and the G11 too, I play games much better with the G11 yet I can type slightly more accurate on my laptop. More and more people can touch type now that everything is digitized. Not too convinced with the tablet environment youngsters nowadays are growing up on though, I can see them using crappy language regularly to save on the keystrokes.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Not really, Its more that the chicklet style keys are lower and have less travel than these black switches. I used to use a Logitech illuminated keyboard before the K90 and it used scissor switches like some laptop keyboards do so typing was great on that. I think i need to experiment with MX browns and reds and see which ones more suitable for me.

Welp my local PCW ran out of 6Gv2. I need to take a look at the keyboard before buying, the "\" key needs to be next to left shift for Dota purposes

Let me know if this ever happens. I need to book a train ticket to London for it though. Could be quite a laugh.

 

[MightyMission]

Online pictures show that they don't have the \ key next to the z key, its important because it brings up the Dota 2 KDA list. I am not going to buy until I am sure the keyboard layout is satisfactory

Edit: I am just going to reserve it, if I don't like the layout I have the right to refuse purchase
