cool, i was going to actually disable it and rerun the benchmark but you beat me to the punch with the screenshots, thank you! So, it seems that i SHOULD just keep the m.2 than or does RAPID mode make that big of a difference in practice?

Well, I'm just looking for help from the experts here. I know my board is getting old and support for m.2 drives had just hit the market when the Z97-A came out. However, I needed to upgrade my OS drive and figured I would give the m.2 a try. With the price very reasonable on the ADATA XPG...

what's the screen rez 1080p or 768p? hard drive 5200 or 7200rpm? key factors for either 'junk' or 'go and get it'

well i just found this guy on the lenovo outlet and picked it up... don't think it can be beat for the $ and what i'm looking for. ThinkPad L540 - New Part number: R90HZCQK-20AVCTO1WW Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4340M Processor (3M Cache, up to 3.60 GHz) Operating system: Windows 10...

i'm certainly open to doing that... is there a good utility for 'cloning' the drive to ensure you get the boot sector etc. and all the key stuff necessary? i also assume this would void the warranty with pretty much any manufacturer... even though it's a rather mundane and simple task. that...

I am certainly open to a dual core for what it's going to be used for (general office/browsing/youtubeing/nonsense)... I am against the low end XPS 15 now since it doesn't have an SSD... The $800 dell just looks like it can't be beat for the price...

thoughts on spending a tad more and getting the XPS 15? Similar spec without dedicated card is $950 with the $50 coupon from dells website. Although i see it has a 500gb mechanical drive an 8gb flash storage... Do they install the OS on that little 8BG or is it only used for swap memory? If...

if this thing was a 14 or 15.6" screen i would jump all over it for the price. but 12" is seriously crap, way to small for me.

Hey all -- this is really troubling me that I cannot for the life of me find the same or similar specs to the 'gaming laptop' that Dell makes without a dedicated video card... How can this be possible that no one makes a laptop with those specs? 15.6" 1080p screen (IPS preferred but not...

i've been testing this chip as well... posted about high temps too. i am able to run stable 4.4ghz @ 1.125V so definitely set it to manual in the bios and try stepping up little by little until you reach the voltage that the system boots with and then runs stable @. I started at 1.0V and...

i'm still using other temp programs (HWMonitor, Asus) and they read the same as Aida.

i've been doing a ton of 'googling' and trying to figure out if i have any problem with my chip and i should RMA it or if it's just Prime95 that's the odd ball out. I've read others that have had super high temps with this chip and prime95 after RMA have seen significant drops... Corei7 4790k...

I upgraded the rest of my rig recently... I'm still using my old GTX 285 1GB and playing what I am playing at management settings. I was thinking of getting the Asus GTX 770 2GB version or possibly holding out for another couple months (maybe) to see if the higher end cards drop in price to the...

awesome recommendation, thank you. i was wondering if it was compatible with my mobo given the 120mm size. however, i found this link: http://unfilteredreviews.blogspot.com/2013/04/cooler-master-hyper-212-evo-rr-212e.html which is my exact mobo and someone stating it cleared the heatsinks...

thanks again for the feedback, i really do appreciate it. i was actually reading the same numbers you saw when i provided the link yesterday and got a little concerned. i have a pretty well ventilated case with a top exhaust 120mm as well so that's probably been helping out over the last 6...
