You can have both! ... lets say you choose a 900p ... set it up as a seperate drive letter .... in windows you allocate say 40% of the that drive for cache and point the operating system to that drive letter (X) and the other 60% as a extra drive storage on the same drive letter ... win 10 makes...

Just flipped through several pages of this talk about OPTANE ... some good, some a little misinformed,yes it can boost HDD drive performance but the real power is the new buzz word called VROC I'm researching heavily ATM with this new Monopoly/concept that Intel has cooked up ... in a...

GA-x299-WU8 .... She's a beasty and will eat em for Breakfast .... just don't want to pay for bling that will be ripped off anyway to be water cooled. The board also runs not 1 but 2 PLX8 chips ... have a Asus Hyper X v2 card as well to partially get around Intel's VROC monopoly.;) But a good...

About to start the new build (photo editor rig) based on the GA-X299 WU8 work station Mobo Old rig is still humming along but starting to show it's wrinkles (Z97) was researching fastish memory with good timings and G Skill's Trident Z Royals ( F4-4800C18D-16GTRS ) caught my eye ... but the...

Because Scougar want it to sound like a PC!....Not a F15 on the number 1 catapult! You can actually get to the stage were no matter how much air you blast at it ...cooling differential doesn't move much any more. OLDFART!...Your mouth in gear first comment of "I'm afraid you have it all wrong"...

The upgrade box is finally complete and the Q6600 has it's days numbered! I would like some feedback on what some other people think of the configuration I'm about to do! I'll be taking it off life support on the weekend and stripping it down ready for all the new toys Ive been squirrelling...

Make sure you have the right blades and speed for the job! Penetrators are designed for placing air on a given point better the a standard fan....not for delivering high volumes of air ... that's the trade off. Aussie Allan

They just work, as long as it's in contact with the cooling fluid , they just work!

Been away for a few days! Before the days of dremels,...the old method was to "peck-drill then file"..........Mark out your pattern with a fabric marker or similar,Mask off to protect the finish, then with a 3-4mm drill bit drill out inside the line so the holes almost overlap then break-out...

The phobya grill changes the whole ball game Scougar! But might yield results in a different way........"If" you decide to install the hex grill on top,... what about turning both front and rear fans to intake and let all exhaust exit through the top!! you'll even get a little boost with natural...

You didn't say what or how many fans you have on ya cases butt to complement the two on the front !....do you have the option to rotate the intake of the tower cooler to face the front of the case, effectively aligning the air-flow front to back in-line, ??? this will give you the best...

I'm taking them out middle of next week again so will post-a-pic then.....really is a no brainer though..........original (it's only one that needs the mod) only needed a kiss with the round file copper being so soft! I'll also post some images of some Heat-sinks I modified (MOS-1 and 10s)...
