then wrote them behind the motherboard tray through the nearest holes but the others aside
for now we won't need them until later
strictly speaking SSD is don't affect the frame rate at which a game full run so my choice a
couple Intel series SSDs in raid
why seem a little strange to some but
it's not a purely practical thing for this rig the reason I actually did this is bad a while ago
when I did my personal read update
I had a lot of people asking me about running SSDs in raid for extra performance
and I've had the same will hold on No don't do it the way that I was doing it with refer bish
drives and all that
and then the inevitable follow-up question is okay then what way would you recommend
doing it
so to which I would apply well if you must have rain
then this is how I would do it Intel SSD czar legendarily reliable on the series
specifically offers outstanding performance consistency
something that's very important from raid operation where the entire array will slow down
to the speed
all the slowest drive at any given moment
Corsair include handy dandy spring-loaded SS denouncing the front in the case near the
right side panel
so installing RSS these in literally ass nap
popping in there wrote the same data cables as nearly as we can to the motherboard and
double check the manual to ensure
that you're using assay to gigabit per second connector that's running of the Intel chipset
on this particular board it's going to be the top ones then gotta say the power cable from
earlier carefully plug that into each drive without putting unnecessary tension on the con-
nector
and route that back to the power supply now our Jeep you choice and dual GTX TI's for a
fork a gaming rig
is likely to raise some eyebrows but
bear with me here for a minute we'll explain the choice first up
is why two cards i'm just still not a strong believer in three and four way configurations
I don't think the scaling justifies the extra cost heat and power consumption this store card
can fake will be able to run
even the most demanding games today and medium to high settings and k and while I can
you know compare screenshot side by side and tell the difference between
high in all to gain settings when things are actually in motion
I don't really find it that easy to tell so I'm not going to spend a ton more money
just to turn that dial a little bit higher another dial
