Definitely 120GB. 60gb is just enough for my os and apps alone.

okay yeah... i'm really curious about this but why is it that buying a 2 kit of ram cost more than buying 2 single ones of the same kind? :fulloffuck:

They're tested and guaranteed to work in pairs. That's about it.

Also 60 gb is nowhere near as fast. SSDs need a lot of parallel threads to run at full speed. That's why 2 drives using the same controller but different flash can be so different. For the MOST part, larger drives = faster

Sometimes you can get 2 'identical' 120GB drives, with the same controller and same type of flash chip. But one may have flash that only has 1 or 2 die per flash chip, while the other has 4. This was the case with A-Data S511 in my review.

This was also the case in my review of the OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS. The 120GB version I tested has the hot 4 die flash, but with only 8 chips, it wasn't that much faster than the other drives that use 2 die flash, but with 16 chips.

Thinking about getting a new graphics card, but idk if I should wait for the 7 series..

bam!
AMD Southern Island key slides are leaked
it looks like the rumours of it being as fast as 6990 is true after all :joy:
apparently it will be running <300W during load thanks to the new 28nm architecture

it will be officially revealed next Thursday and will ship Janurary 9th when CES 2012 starts.

I will need a new PSU as mine only has 2x 6 pci-e pins :okay:
let's just hope it's under $400!

Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 ATX LGA1155 Z68 DDR3 1PCI-E16 3PCI-E1 2PCI HDMI SLI SATA3 USB3.0 Motherboard - Gigabyte - GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3

Thoughts? I know a lot of you guys run the UD4 but I'd like an unbiased opinion on this one. Runs in my price range. Is it really worth it to get the 4 over this? I don't plan on doing any OC'ing.

It's very similar to the GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 but slightly better. I say go for it.

Totally fine. I run this with a 2500k and OC'd to 4.5ghz stable at 1.33v.

gl to whoever tries to rob his house

Since I'm going to move my system into my new case soon, I was wondering if you guys think its worth it for me to spring for a new modular PSU. Currently I am using a PCP&C Silencer 750. It's from 2009(2008?) and it has served me faithfully. Recently noticed more BSOD happening randomly and I'm worried that it is a sign of the PSU failing. Also, wondering about next generation GPU power requirements - will the 28nm process mean that they use less power or not necessarily? What power level do I need to budget for? I'm thinking something around 950-1000 watts.

i'm also in the market for a new PSU for the 28nm based cards

i am aiming for the 850w range...i'd think 1000w is overkill especiallly since the new cards are gonna be more power efficient...by how much? we'll find out on thursday.

1000w+ is only necessary if you go triple/quad SLI/CF or SLI/CF for dual GPU cards IMO

Yeah, how efficient the new cards are is going to play a major role in my PSU selection. I also want modular for better cable management... Non-modular is a total pain in the ass.

I really like the look of the Corsair HX/TX-M series, or the XFX Pro line.

OCZ PSU = no-no? There's a really good deal on at NCIX for an older Z-series 1000-watt unit. $139 after rebate.

i only looked at the TX-M and XFX Pro...can't afford seasonic lol
i haven't looked at anitec nor nznt ones
usually semi-modular is good enough for me

i am not familiar with OCZ PSU but $140 doesn't seem that great of a deal for an old model? especially since OCZ is notorious for not honouring MIR's. I am sure OCZ PSU are safe to go with though...since they are so popular on the market.

edit:also haven't looked into the diff btwn TX-M and TX version 2 in terms of efficiency/reliability

i actually got the ocz-z 1000w psu for 119 after mir and i received my rebate 5? weeks after i sent in the letter :alonehappy:

How is the PSU? Good build quality? Noisy or quiet? Reliable?
Posted via RS Mobile

anything over 500w is overkill for single card systems
Posted via RS Mobile

it has been a solid psu so far
dont think i ever heard the fans going crazy yet

SLI here. So I need a fairly beefy one.

Good to hear that it's a decent PSU.
