    Win7 On New ssd, but NOT Adobe!?

    So in other words reinstalling the Adobe Suite? Not gonna happen as I said before and if that's my only option I'll just migrate the entire drive and be done with it. It's a shame Win7 doesn't allow more realistic options...

    Win7 On New ssd, but NOT Adobe!?

    Heya everyone, I've been scouring Google (it's my friend) and cannot seem to find a definite answer to my problem. I have Win7 installed on an Intel 80gb ssd along with an Adobe Master Suite. I recently purchased an Intel 530 240gb ssd and want Win7 installed, but not the Adobe Suite (I want to...

    Overclock Assistance, "Fine Tuning"

    Time for an update. I played with the voltages a bit by incrementally lowering Vcore from 1.34375 to 1.29375 and ran Prime for 12+hrs without any errors or BSODs. Lowering Vcore to 1.24375 resulted in an auto reboot after 8hrs +/- of Prime and random system boot freeze. 1.27500 didn't result in...

    Overclock Assistance, "Fine Tuning"

    Thank you for the help. The changes you recommended brought me to 4.0, but within 3 mins. of Prime my temps rocketed to 81 on RealTemp while ELEET showed the cores at 76-78 and cpu at 64. Should I just back off down to 3.6-3.8 for 24/7 use or should I play with settings such as Vcore, VTT, etc...

    Fan Controllers

    I have an EVGA 132-BL-E758-A1 with 3 different fan headers available for fan control, so I've read? I assume a header per fan so anything over 3 would need a separate controller? Thank you for the help, very much appreciated! :)

    Fan Controllers

    Well the case comes with x2 200mm Megaflow fans, x1 120mm rear fan, and I'm wanting to add x2 CM R4's (120mm) for push/pull on a Megahalem. I might add more down the road so I'm thinking perhaps a software will actually give me more leniency/options? I've seen some forums mention Lamptron FC5...

    Fan Controllers

    If this is in the wrong place, feel free to move it :) Can anyone recommend a few quality fan controllers? I've seen some people use hardware versions and some with software to control their setups, which is best in your opinion? Thank you all :D

    Number Pad On Keyboard?

    How many of you actually use a numb pad for gaming...or even outside of gaming? I'm looking to purchase a Filco (104 or tenkeyless) and not sure if they are worth having, also considering the board cost less and a whopping 3.3" shorter XD :p Also, in addition to getting a Filco would it be a...

    SSD, I Want!

    Thank you for the insight. Do the OCZ's have any benefit over the Intel's or vice versa? Does added speed of the OCZ Turbo necessitate a downgrade in another area? I take it they all have about the same/similar features, but from what I have read the Intel controllers are much better than OCZ...

    SSD, I Want!

    Hello's, I'm considering an ssd and wondering what you think would be a good purchase. I have read highly regarded views on the Intel X25-M G2's, but other than one being Retail and the other OEM, is there a difference between these two? Newegg.com - Intel X25-M Mainstream SSDSA2M080G2XXX...

    i7 Build (sick of these yet? ), pick away at it :)

    Ok, so I have everything now except for the **** memory...would either of the OCZ Plats or XMP break the 4.0ghz mark (depending on cpu I'm sure)? I know it's just a number, but a pretty one :) Also, for just running OS (Win 7) and some other programs what size SSD would I need, 60gb? I believe...

    i7 Build (sick of these yet? ), pick away at it :)

    I wrote OCZ regarding a different question, but also snuck in one regarding XMP vs. their Platinums since Plats are back in stock and this was their response: "The link that you have provided (xmp) is better for Intel branded motherboards since their boards are very picky with memory and does...
