They don't have any of the newest .10 Seagates in that article though and wouldn't a RAID of two or three seagates be less noise and temperature than that of one raptor?

not sure what cheap is to you but I'm getting this PSU for my high-end gaming rig, think it's pretty silent. Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-620HX ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 620W Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, CUL, CE, CB, FCC Class B, TUV, CCC, C-tick - Retail

According to this review http://www.elite*******s.com/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=84&Itemid=27&limit=1&limitstart=3 those seagate drives are pretty fast compared to the western digital ones and not that much slower than the raptor, I wonder where the RE WD3200YS would end up in...

about the RAID, is there any setup that gives you better performance than RAID 0? I've been thinking of getting a RAID 0 with 2 of these Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar RE WD3200YS 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM But wouldn't 3 of those in RAID 0 be able to...

yea, I've read reviews and stuff saying the dominators perform well and I've got the cash so I'll be getting them. Though, if I want to go 4gb with Vista, should I try to find 2 x 2gb sticks or will 4 x 1gb do just as fine? read somewhere that 4 modules can't run in dual-channel...

think 4 gb could be good if you go with Vista x64

oh ok

kk, will have to read up on what RAID is all about. b1gapl told me to get an EVGA instead, but isn't the 8800gtx pretty much the same regardless of the different brands? just different clock speeds and cooling systems? EDIT What about DirectX10 Crysis on 1600x1200 or 1280x1024 with all the...

sounds like I can stop worrying about not getting the e6700 then... Just feels wierd when the CPU is cheaper than the mainboard, but I really want those heatpipes and the "bling" factor of the striker though. what about raptors in RAID? guess that would be an overkill just like getting 4 gb of...

ok, I have to admit that I don't know any much at all about RAID, so, is it possible to achieve the same loading speeds in games with some sort of RAID setup? I also kinda like the idea of having my 250mm side fan blowing on those quad copper heatpipes of the striker, but yeh, thanks for the reply.

Alright, so this is the next PC I'm gonna build, just a few final questions. Will Asus do fine or would you recommend getting EVGA/BFG/XFX etc instead for my mainboard and GPU? As for the air cooling I'm going with the standard fans coming with the case, any risk of overheating my memory or...

Look, I ran it on 1100Rpm and 68 degrees C for about a year so I think it will be safe to go 2000 now. So, does anybody know a program that can do this except for SpeedFan and that mother board monitor 5 which didn't work for me?

Huh? I want to lower it to remove the noise, and the temperature is just fine at 2000 Rpm.

I uninstalled SpeedFan and it works alright now. It probably messed my BIOS/GPU settings up for that fan somehow.

I need a way to set my CPU fan from 2600 Rpm to 2000 Rpm. I used to do it with SpeedFan but as it for some reason disabled my GPU fan I can't use it anymore. Does anyone know any similiar application or something to do it with that actually works?
