Hey Guys,
Finally I have built my PC and so far touch wood I am very pleased.. Here are my hardware:
Antec P183 Case
2 x 40GB Kingston SSD for Main C Drive in Raid0 Array.
Gigabyte EX58-UD5 Intel X58 Motherboard
Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz
Corsair H50-1
Corsair XMS3 6GB PC3-12800C9 DDR3
Sapphire 5770 1GB New Edition
Corsair 1000W Power Supply
4 x 1.5 TB seagate 7200 RPM 32mb cache for storage
There are a few things I wanted to ask thanks for the help of the people on here and other forums I have managed to RAID0 my 2 x Kingston 40GB SSD Drives in RAID0 and used default stripe as 128kb is this a prefered stripe size or should I have chosen anything less?
Also I am going to Raid 0 my 4 x 1.5 TB seagate 7200 RPM 32mb cache in 2 seperate Raid0 (2 x drives for movies and 2 x drives for storage and other downloads) is it reccomended to do them in RAID0 and also what stripe size should I use?
Finally when I tried to put the OC profile for the same combination I purchased from OC previousley it was not stable at all. So I followed a guide where I changed a few things in bios and my OC is stable and solid as a rock . Did prime 95 for 2 hrs and no errors or faults. However my Ram was not majorly boosted I set the System memory multiplier to 6 and the ram sets that to 1200mhz and the voltage is 1.500V now if I start changing the multiplier to 8 and up the voltage the system becomes unstable .. is there any reccomended setting please can you guide or will it not really make a big difference?
Sorry for thousand questions but would really appreciate the help Thank you .
