Re: Please help me set up my hard drive partitions
Yeah I've read to run two OS's for each task at hand. One for recording studio and one for designing... but what about gaming? and use a totally separate HD for all file storage. What the file storage HD work with both OS's? A bit confusing and I dont want to buy another win7x64 pro key.

This computer will be used for: - a small home recording studio. (business) - graphic design & multi...

Well first of all I believe we can ask God questions and get answers but sometimes not how we want etc etc.... but going with the theme. I would ask him why he created Man and Woman knowing they would sin and fall away from his Holiness and knowing that some people would not repent and turn from the...

How should I partition my hard drive? Or shouldnt I?
Should I partition it and how? I've seen some people have like 10-15 different partitions for things which say the reason is for defragment purposes of certain drives and incase one fails others will still be in tact? For instance. On one computer I do recording audio, bands, rappers, etc, mixing, e...

Just a note: I have my GPU fan on a zalman fanmate. When I game, I manually crank it up to 2500RPM to get some real air blowing over the thing. When I'm done gaming, I often forget to bring the RPM back down to earth, so Ill be sitting there and about 10 min later think to myself..wtf is taht noise...

No, I remove the duct and seal the holes in the side pannel Is how I voted, cause that's how all the big boys do it my mom told me.

Thats a good build meato! Be careful with the ripjaws ram if your going to use an aftermarket CPU cooler/fan because of possible clearance issues. I would go with a different case fan 18dBA is still just too loud for me. The 120mm scythe's I got are 8dBA and 10dBA and still push a good amount of air...

Hey rogue or anyone. I suspended the hard drive like the ascii diagram and kept it the same way front to back. I'm wondering if I can mount it so instead of the SATA plugins on the back of the hard drive facing the MOBO so that it faces up. This would make the hard drive fit in my case better. To sa...

From some website: Replace the fan Most chipset fans are 40x40x10mm, and Papst/EBM makes an excellent replacement fan called 412FM, however, many gfx cards and chipsets use special mountings for the fans, which makes it impossible to replace the fan with a standard fan. If this is the case you will ...
