Did my post here get deleted? I was sure that I posted in this thread.

EDIT:

Yep, my post did get deleted, any particular reason why?

This is a thread to show off systems. Not to post benchmarks and stock images.

The bench was to demonstrate an undocumented feature, without it how can you prove that the solution is functioning? If you really want me to take pictures of the identical drives I can do that.

This will be the base for a VROC 0 VM drive in my new workstation.

In Tom's Hardware forums, we have 3 different topics about users PCs:
1. "Show off your newest system upgrade components here!" this topic here where to post pics about your latest PC hardware purchases.

2. "Tom's Hardware Member System Gallery" where to post pics about your rig and show it off,
link: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/310222-31-hardware-member-system-gallery

3. "The Member's Systems Discussion Thread" where to discuss anything about your build and components,
link: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1980287/member-systems-discussion-thread.html

You can post your bench results either in the "The Member's Systems Discussion Thread" or make a separate discussion topic about it.

So anyway back on topic I got the RAM installed. I know you're supposed to use the 1 and 3 slots or the 2 and 4 slots but the 1 and 2 slots are blocked by my cooler, so I'm using the 3 and 4 slots for the time being. I will probably fill the other two at some point but I'll fix it when I get my Kraken and get that installed. I will say G Skill's RGB controller is kind of janky compared to Corsair and NZXT. I'm trying to figure out how to get the color to match the color I have my fans and light strips set at.

Running the memory in single channel is hurting more on that than computer than it would be on an Intel build. I'm not going benchmark hunting when you can google it but I think you're probably crippling it up to about 10% in some situations.

I think I'm going to be buying the Kraken next week anyways so that will get fixed when I do.

Redesign of my setup. bought the two monitors and the vesa mount for them. then attached it to my rolling desk I was using for the mouse and keyboard while I used my TV as my monitor.

Why is your NVME drive listed as SCSI?

 

[Aeacus]

Why is your NVME drive listed as SCSI?

I don't know. Then again, Speccy doesn't want to play ball with my system. For example, it fails to identify my RAM as Kingston HyperX Savage. Reason why i keep Speccy around is to confirm temps between it and HWinfo64. Also, i use it's sys tray icon to show my GPU temps.

Though, i have multiple programs in use to confirm specs and temps within my system.
Crystal Disk Info:

Samsung Magician:

Looking from those two programs above, i don't see anything wrong with my NVMe drive.

Here's also results of my NVMe drive's performance,
Crystal Disk Mark:

Looks normal , speccy doesn't show mine as a SCSI...Strange

It's not only Speccy who says my NVMe is SCSI device. My Win 7 Device Manager also states that:

Then again, Win 7 was out before NVMe drives were a thing and that could be why my Win 7 shows it as SCSI and not ATA device.

Found a topic about it too where CountMike explains it quite well,

[Dark Lord of Tech]

My 7 machines 2 of them , don't list as SCSI , but seems to be normal in some scenarios. Nice setup you have.

Two new Samsung 860 EVO's.

250GB and 500GB, using in two different PC's, 500GB in my main machine for a game drive and the 250GB for the main OS drive in the other.

June
Bought a bunch of CableMod accessories for my Skylake and Haswell builds.

For anyone who's interested in what i exactly bought, here's the list:
20x anodized thumbscrews (10x in red, 10x in blue)
8x 2-pin chassis I/O cables (4x in red, 4x in blue)
4x internal USB 2.0 cables (2x in red, 2x in blue)
2x internal HD audio cables (1x in red, 1x in blue)
2x 4-pin fan cables (1x in red, 1x in blue)

Skylake build before and after.

Haswell build before and after.

Wow, attention to detail. It's these subtle things that highlights a build!

Sidenote : have you considered painting the alternate slot covers red/blue?

Thank you.

As far as painting case's PCI-E covers go, i don't like painting those. Thumbscrews there provide enough eyecandy to bring that part of the case out.

Picked this 240GB M.2 NVMe drive (for $90 AUD! (¬$66 USD)) to replace my current boot drive, a 128GB SATA SSD i got back in 2012 for about the same price as this! Also going to put Star Citizen on it since as anyone who's played it can confirm, probably the longest loading times in any game... Takes 1-2 minutes on my WD Red HDD, 30 seconds on my Samsung 840 Pro SSD and hoping i can drop that down to half that on this!
