I recently bough a 512gb samsung 950 pro M.2 SSD. My intention was to use to boot my PC and my games faster than my 500gb 840 evo. However, I'm not feeling like my money was well spent. I double checked everything with benchmarks to verify that all my speeds were as advertised and that I set...

So I have been working on trying to make my power supply quieter. After buying a watt meter and running a bunch of troubleshooting measures there just seems to be nothing wrong with it. I've owned it for about a year now and its the one on my "signature", sorry if im using the wrong term. the...

I've never used linux. Any suggestions? I currently use windows 7 and 8 but am willing to try something different from a linux OS similar to windows if recommended.
