Looking to upgrade to run more VMs. Currently have a 3570k at 5.0GHz. Would it be better to get a 6800k or 5820k if I plan on over clocking both to the max?

Asus Gene V and 8.1

Hello, I was thinking of going RAID0 with my SSD's now that I have a NAS setup for redundancy. Right now I have a system image of my single AHCI SSD on the NAS. Is it possible to setup RAID0 and restore the single SSD image onto the array? Thanks!

Even if you OC your GPU and CPU you shouldn't even hit 400 watts. Depending on luck and your CPU cooler, you could get 15% on that 8120. 3.6Ghz would not be unreasonable.

Coil whine comes from a component being taxed. If your power supply is running at 100%+ it would "whine". Same thing if the video card is pushed. Especially if you are overclocking them. A better power supply is always going to be of benefit, but if your card has coil whine and is adequately...

Out of those 2 I would go with the 3800, it has a wider memory bus and 3 times the CUDA cores. If color support is a need later you might want to upgrade to a newer version. Any reason why AMD is not an option?

I believe all three of those brands have a 0 RPM setting until a certain temperature, or close to it. But yes, that G1 is typically louder. If noise is your concern I would go with the Asus Matrix.

I am kind of in the same boat when it comes to upgrading. I figured I would at least wait until the 3xx lines come out, just to see how they change pricing in the market. If AMD flops or the Nvidia pricing stays the same, I will probably wait until the microarchitecture changes.

All you pay for with the Matrix or Classy is a factory OC and different cooling solutions. Honestly I think you best bet right now would be this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125682 With a $20 rebate, you get one of the better overclocking cards for $549. At least...

Other than the GUI they are completely different. The list is way too long. Windows 8 is an end user device and Windows Server 2012 functions to host groups of users. It has many "roles" it can fill; DNS, DHCP, ACL, printer server, file server, ADUC... It is not meant as a standalone O/S on one...

Nope. Even crossfired the total stream processors are half of a single r9 270.

I mean you could always call and ask her what the she set the password as...

You might need to have your keyboard plugged into a USB 2.0 port.

The i3 and 270x will be much better for just gaming. Online gaming may be closer with both options as the CPU gets leveraged a bit more. The i5 will probably last you longer, but you could always update your processor later. If you can wait, the new AMD series GPU's are about to be released...
