Hi, I'verecently bought a new gaming system, it was customised by me and bought from PC Specialist, the spec are as follows:
COOLERMASTER CM690 MKII ADVANCED CASE
Overclocked Intel® Quad Core i7-3820 (3.6GHz @ max 4.6GHz)
Motherboard ASUS® SABERTOOTH X79: SOCKET 2011, R.O.G
Memory (RAM) 16GB KINGSTON HYPERX GENESIS QUAD-DDR3 1600MHz X.M.P
Graphics Card 3GB AMD RADEON™ HD7970
2TB WD CAVIAR BLACK WD2002FAEX, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64MB CACHE (7200rpm)
20GB INTEL® SSD 313 SERIES - SLC CACHE DRIVE FOR SYSTEM / 1st HDD
12x BLU-RAY RE-WRITER DRIVE, 16x DVD ±R/±RW
INTERNAL 52 IN 1 CARD READER (XD, MS, CF, SD, etc) + 1 x USB 2.0 PORT
CORSAIR 650W ENTHUSIAST SERIES™ TX650 V2-80 PLUS® BRONZE
INTEL CERTIFIED LIQUID CPU COOLER FOR SOCKET LG2011
ARCTIC MX-4 EXTREME THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY COMPOUND
NZXT Sentry 2 Fan Controller with 5 Fitted Case Fans
ASUS Xonar DS soundcard
DUAL-BAND WIRELESS 802.11N 450Mbps PCI-E CARD
Im not overly impressed with th SSD Caching so ive bought a Samsung 830 256gb SSD, its arriving tommorow.
Is there any way I can make the new SSD my primary hard drive without re-installing windows? I know I can clone my current drive onto the new SSD drive but unsure how to make it my primary hard disk drive.
Will my current 20gb SSD Caching drive interfere with anything? Or can I still use it in conjunction with the 2tb drive (2tb as my second hard disk) without any issues? Or should I disable it all together? I just thought I might still be able to use it to speed up the 2tb drive.
Any help would be greatly recieved
Many thanks
Eric
