    SSD - 96MB Offset?

    I guess I'm confusing "offset" with "alignment"? Maybe 1024 Offset for Primary Partition with Size of 95MB + 1MB Spacing = 96MB Offest for partition 2? If this is the case, does the inital offset of 1024KB for partition 1 mean the entire drive is aligned at 1024KB? What's the difference...

    SSD - 96MB Offset?

    I bought a new 520 Intel 240GB SSD and it comes with the "Powered by Acronis" data migration software. I used it to clone & migrate the entire contents of my Vertex3 240G SSD to the Intel 240GB. Afterward, I look at the Intel volume/partitions in Diskpart. There's the 95MB system reserve aligned...

    Thanks for the help! I managed to get it working by following the diagram on the post. :D

    GTX680 3-way SLI w/ 2-way bridges

    Thanks for all the feedback. 20MMRain, if you wanna give it a go, I'd appreciate it. I have various brand/lengths of 2-way cables I've either bought or collected through upgrades. I'm going to try them when I get home from work today. If you test too, then maybe we can rule out an additional...

    GTX680 3-way SLI w/ 2-way bridges

    I have an ASUS Rampage Formula 2011 with two MSI GTX680 FROZR cards. I just bought a third 680 and tried to install the 3-way bridge that came with my MB. It will not fit because the fan shrouds prevent the 3-way bridge from fitting down on the card slots. I've seen other folks use three 2-way...

    MSI GTX 680 TWIN FROZR - First look and hands on testing

    I'd be happy to, but I've never done that before. From what I've learned on the web you can screw things up if you don't know what you're doing. You have a link that's current and explains it properly? I'm sure I can do it, I just don't wanna screw anything up...

    MSI GeForce GTX 680 Twin Frozr III Graphics Card Pictured

    So; I wrote a scathing review on Newegg about the outrageous shipping fees. They censor what you write (of course) and the person doing the censoring noticed that something was wrong. Afterward, I received an email indicating they were refunding $165 in shipping fees as it was a mistake. The CSR...

    MSI GTX 680 TWIN FROZR - First look and hands on testing

    Thanks for the testing. I have two of these coming from Newegg Tuesday and was wondering how they would perform. Correct me if I'm wrong, but on your second test at 1164Mhz OC -99% utilization; with a temp of 66C; and the fans are only turning at 52%? That's awesome. I have two FrozrII 560ti OC...

    MSI GeForce GTX 680 Twin Frozr III Graphics Card Pictured

    I know what you mean. I have two FrozrII GTX560ti/OCs 80mm and they're pretty loud. I use the software fan control in afterburner and it helps a lot. The temps only go up about 2-3C at 75% vs. 100%. About 71C instead of 68C. With the hysteresis set at 2C they don't fluctuate constantly... When...

    I couldn't beleive Newegg would do this either. They're just taking advantage of people because they really want the product and they can get away with it. They are also the only distributor of the cards right now. When you go to the site now it says "Out of Stock", but they list a super-saver...

    Newegg Sucks! I happened to check the website at the right time and picked up two of these today, but had to pay $84.94 each for three day delivery! That was the cheapest option offered. That's $169.88 to deliver two cards! Want 2 day service? That's $187.58 EACH! How about overnight? Well...
