New computer with SSD boots incredibly slowly.

Koenig99 · 6 days

I have the same exact motherboard and SSD and my pc boots in a matter of seconds.

Edit: adrenaline_x's post pretty much covers all of my suggestions.

The idea of sleeving cables is indeed to make it tidier and less of an obstruction of airflow. The idea of individually sleeving cables is just to look nice and nothing else.

$90 ain't that much. Especially for such a high quality chassis. It's all aluminum.

I sleeved them myself. I bought all of the sleeve and heatshrink from mdpc-x.

Edit: if you plan to do this yourself, just use paracord and you will save a lot of money (and IMO, paracord looks better).

Server Website: impulse-gamers.com

Server Playstyle: SMP, no PvP

Server Policy: Public, build permissions upon request

Server Implementation: Latest Bukkit Recommended Build (non-beta builds)

Host Style/Uptime: 24/7 Dedicated (server located in Chicago, IL)

Server Age: Online since August 2011

Notable Plugins: Server Watchdog (logs blocks), xAuth (offline-mode authentication), WorldGuard, Essentials, PrivateWarp, Safe Creeper (explosions don't break blocks, but still hurt players), Dynamic Map

Community Vibe: Rather small server with a good mix of new and more experienced players. Moderators are laid back and are always willing to help you out. No free handouts, so don't bother asking.

Building Type: Anything! Collaborations are encouraged.

Average Player Load: 4 people on at a time, on average.

Free Land: Tons of area yet to be explored, let alone built/mined.

Other Comments: Server is in offline mode, since some of our members cannot afford Minecraft. We have a separate authentication system within the server that requires all users to register/login every time they connect to prevent users from using others' usernames. We have an anti-grief system (WorldGuard) that allows us to protect specified areas from being modified by other players. Please ask a moderator in-game (mods have purple names) if you would like a region to be protected.

Despite a depressing series, we have a lot to be proud of. Look at where this team was at the beginning of the season. This team has the potential to be the best, and they're just getting started.

Colaiacovo is already hurt. I shouldn't be surprised.

I can get FSMW, but sometimes there will be a football game on instead of hockey. I end up having to stream my games online about 50% of the time. It sucks.

I was able to watch the entire first round though.

How's the fan on that graphics card? I had one with the same cooler and I had to exchange it for a reference card because the fan was so damn loud. Even when it was turned all the way down.

Nvidia's 8800 series. The G80 core was a huge step forward and I think the G92 core that came shortly thereafter was an even bigger step forward as far as overclocking and thermal headroom goes. My 8800GTS (G92) still runs all of my games flawlessly.

You forgot about about the 7950GX2

Agreed. Stewart's performance has left a lot to be desired for the majority of the season.

FTFY

Yeah I was able to watch the Red Wings/Preds game last night on CNBC so I should be set. Some of the online streams were better quality than cable though haha.
