Both my seagates are running fine. As is my western digital though. Hitachi/HGST is the only brand I'd avoid.
Hitachi DataStar sometimes known as the Death Star if I recall from what my dad told me I am running twin 4TB WD Black drives (I know they are new okay) but no problems as of yet and I am running my old Seagate drives from my old computer and no problems as of yet from them
does anyone here actually take care of the hard drives temperatures though? Only takes about 55c to kill one, although the supposedly NAS optimised drives (like the WD Reds) will usually survive some extra abuse.
The WD that's currently dying is sitting out in the open with a 140 MM NZXT fan blowing directly on it. The ones that are in any danger are the Seagate and the Maxtor drive, which are running absolutely fine at 32 and 39 degrees respectively.
Installed "The Pinnacle of V" ENB and 4K texture mod for GTA V. My 7850 was screaming out in pain and there were texture pop-ins everywhere. Time for a 390/390x it looks like. Or a GTX 970 *shutters*.
I kept mine below 32c and had windows set to defrag every week, then one day my PC started getting slower and slower, didn't want to boot windows and then I started getting S.M.A.R.T errors. Gave my cousin a 1.5TB Seagate that and one of his 500GB Seagates died, they always seem to die around the 3 - 5 year mark, my 1TB was made towards the end of 2011 and 2012 for the 1.5
Forgot to mention, no. no room for more MUUNNEY. I'm also upgrading my 128gb SSD to a 240GB SSD. I'm tired of having 10gb free (even tho recently I somehow managed to get it up to 35)
Hi, I've been in the process of building a computer for a long time now and I was wondering if these two would run BeamNG on higher settings with ease: EVGA GTX 760 2GB SuperClocked Intel Pentium G3258 (3.2GHz base clock, can be overclocked to over 4GHz) I've used the same GTX 760 on a computer with a 2nd gen i5 clocked at 3.0GHz and it worked well, so is there any reason the Pentium wouldn't with what it's capable of?
Yeah, I knew it would be able to run less cars, but for $70 I think I did well. How many do you think it could run?
The devs say about 1 car per core. But you should also take into account other system processes, VoIP clients, etc. It would really be better to spring for an i3 4130, as it's hyperthreading ability will greatly improve performance.
Two cars at a time will be fine by me till I'm able to upgrade. It's just that I've had this Pentium laying around for over a year ever since I stopped playing games (other than BeamNG of course) and feel like I should use it. I like the idea of the i3 though, so I'll probably go for the newer 4160 since it only costs $7 more. Thanks.
would you think this build would be a decent budget ish build for Beamng drive, as I'm happy with high settings but not ultra? the i3 4170 runs like a quad core... Right? http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/Nb4HCJ I don't know if i should get .1 more GHz and get the i3 4370, but I would be fairly happy with this build... (I would probably not get it for another 6-24 months, very little pocket money and little Christmas present allowance but I could bet 1/3 of the parts now, 1/3 for birthday and another 1/3 for next xmas or something). Because of this, I would like to know of any rumored parts that would cost the same but run better. Thanks for responding.
Other way around. Both are fine though, just the cpu range is getting freaking ancient at this point.
So not only do I have two dead ram slots now I have a dead intel SSD, I have such great luck with computer equipment.
