    [SOLVED] 2 RAID 1 sets with asus p8z68-v pro

    I think we are diverging from the original question. I want to know if this will work on my motherboard. I already have backups to cloud and external raid 10. I need a redundant raid while editing so I do not lose my lightroom catalog in case of a single drive failure. Windows 10. No other...

    [SOLVED] 2 RAID 1 sets with asus p8z68-v pro

    Thanks! Any ideas why my processor and ram are getting lower scores? Are there any quick setting I might have missed to maximize performance (without overclocking)? Uploaded with ImageShack.us whoops, forgot pic before.

    I got it all put together and POSTed the first time :) It is working beautifully. However, when playing BF3 I sometimes get this black jagged shape at the top of the screen (gets worse when I look down). It seems to happen if i am switching between desktop and game, maybe. Any ideas?

    too late to get the EVO. think the RAM i got is good enough. I just wanted to get the best of the best for processor. Who knows, maybe I will get into some activities that I can use the HT :) I can't wait to build this thing!!

    I've actually switched it up a bit. I am going with the HAF 932, mushkin radioactive 8 gb, i7 2600k, and hyper 212 plus. I didn't want to run into clearance issues with the vengence heat sinks and cpu cooler.
