    Question New Adata ssd yelds high temperature

    Hello, Bought a new ssd, ADATA SU650 (960 GB) and it runs constantly at 45 degrees and goes to 50+ degrees while copying files - I imagine even higher when I'll try to game on it. My other 3 ssd's are at least 10 degrees cooler. Got Noctua case fans and decent airflow. Should I be worried? I...

    SSD's on Sata II 300 or External HDD?

    Mostly gaming and light PS and Premiere. Are the speeds very bad at SATA 2 for SSD's? Should I switch the expensive ones on SATA 3 and the cheaper SSD's on 2 or it's negligible? I also have a 500 GB laptop drive laying around - should I plug that bad boy in or it's going to be slow as hell and...

    Case on a budget.

    Here prices are pretty bad, the good deals brands are Zalman, Thermaltake and some entry-level CM cases and NZXT. Cooler Master N200 is 55 $, NZXT 210 is like 45$. Are those deals way better than this Deep Cool 30$ case?
