    Preventing I/O Limits on Hard Drive

    I was wondering if a SATA card will give more bandwidth (if that's the correct term) than the SATA ports on a motherboard? For example sometimes I try to burn 2 discs at once and it pauses saying waiting for hard disk to reach activity level. Which means too many other things are trying to...

    Any idea if they have fan control software that actually works like Asus motherboards have?

    Using both PCI x16 and x8 without slowing x16 slot down?

    Thanks guys. I didn't realize the CPU determines how many lanes are supported. I never even new about "lanes" until now. Until now I was just looking for motherboards with 2 x16 slots! Are there any motherboards with 2 M.2 slots?

    Using both PCI x16 and x8 without slowing x16 slot down?

    I don't want to use a Gigabyte motherboard as the fan software for it doesn't work.

    Using both PCI x16 and x8 without slowing x16 slot down?

    I just want to play it safe and make sure I get a motherboard that will allow one of the x8 or x16 slots to NOT slow down the other x16 slot. Does anyone have any motherboard suggestions please? Need a Turbo M.2 slot. I currently have a Gigabyte motherboard but I don't like it as the included...

    Using both PCI x16 and x8 without slowing x16 slot down?

    OK but what motherboard is he using? 8 Port Supermicro SAS/SATA Card (AOC-SAS2LP-MV8). It needs an x8 or x16 slot. Yes I need the bandwidth. I may decide to use something else instead of the Supermicro in future. I just need some assurance that whatever I use in the slot won't slow down a...

    Using both PCI x16 and x8 without slowing x16 slot down?

    Just to be clear guys I'm going to be using an Intel i7 5960X and I'll be overclocking it to at least 4Ghz. Will also be using 64GB DDR4 RAM. Slots should be PCI Express 3. I'll be using a SATA III card in either a x8 or x16 slot. Will also be using a powerful graphics card in an x16 slot. I...

    Using both PCI x16 and x8 without slowing x16 slot down?

    My existing motherboard has this in the manual: The PCIEX8 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX16 slot. When PCIEX8 is populated with a card, the PCIEX16 slot will operate at up to x8 mode. I'm going to be using an Intel i7 5960X and I'll be overclocking it to at least 4Ghz. Will also be using...

    Turns out I need to change "Hard Drive BBS Priorities" motherboard setting to have C Drive 1st. Now Windows boots with 7 8TB hard drives, 2 SSDs and 2 Bluray drives! What exactly does BBS mean? I never even thought to change that setting since boot order already had C drive first then the...

    Windows Won't Boot - Too many drives connected to PSU

    Yes the C drive is set as the boot drive. Each 8TB drive only uses 7 watts. Total of 28 watts per socket plugged into PSU. I've got 2 LG BH10LS38.AUAR Bluray writers and 2 SSDs connected to one socket of the PSU. I don't know how many watts the writers use as it doesn't say in the manual. SSDs...

    Why does text in Google Chrome look ugly?

    You guys are correct. The font looks fine when everything is working correctly. I tested it on a 2nd PC I have that just has internal intel graphics. So why does the text look weird on my PC and how do I fix it?

    Why does text in Google Chrome look ugly?

    Is that a file inside Google Chrome or inside nVidia? Where do I find that file? I can't find any Nvideo configuration menu in the start menu.

    Why does text in Google Chrome look ugly?

    Look at the following page in the latest version of Firefox and Chrome to see the difference in how they display the font: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MnHeUCDC8Os8torVR-f5hQzWYDvdLMqTBNW94d3_NS4/edit To show you more clearly I took a screenshot and put them side by side.

    What happened to Vampire Diaries?

    I didn't like The Originals. I like the characters (the originals) but the story was rubbish. Didn't help either that it was set in New Orleans. Is season 2 any better?

    How does VirtualBox work?

    OK but after it's setup can you just copy and paste a virtual machine to create another one or do I need to go through the Virtual Machine creation process again?
