Monday build!!

New confusion!!

Windows updated fully, graphics drivers up to date, yet I't apparently running DX10??

Any ideas?

Out of interest you did set the sata mode to ACHI before you installed the OS to the SSD?
Click to expand...

Erm..... No :confused: (I assume this is via the BIOS?)

Should I have? And what are the benefits of doing so?

Going to invest in a second Steam SSD anyway, so I might give the whole thing a re-jig soon. Wouldn't have a problem reformatting if needed....
 
It's now where it lives :)

And with the sofa so I can sit comfortably while gaming....

Edit: apologies, iPhone pics suck, but you get the idea :)

2nd Edit: The Boogie Bug 'gaming surface' that came gratis with the mobo is insanely huge!

Next up, 27 inch 120hz monitor (not sure if I'm bothered about 3D really... Should I be??).
Additional SSD dedicated to Steam.
A couple more 200mm fans....

With the fans, I'm not sure whether to get blue LED ones or not? The pre installed 200mm on top has blue LED's, but the lights can be switched on and off via a button on the rear of the case. (nice touch NZXT :))
If it's possible to set the new fans (2nd top fan and additional side fan) up in the same way so I can turn the LED's off then great. If that's not possible then I don't think I'll bother and just get standards.


Then I'm out of things to do to it unless there are any suggestions??

Maybe move on to a MAME build cannibalising my old rig :cool:
 
In 'control panel', go to 'system'. In the 'system' window will be your 'system rating' and next to it will be a clickable link that says "Windows Experience Index".

Click that and you'll get the 'Performance information and tools' page and on the very right, below your score, it will have another clickable "view and print detaialed performance and system information".

Click it.

The end


Edit: (at least in Win 7 that's how I found it)
