Change to a ssd and you'll freak out

I second that.. I was in the exact same position with my previous build, it makes a world of difference in a situation like that!

If I had the $350 to shell out for one.. Im lucky to pay $45/Mo for my cell phone

This (link) was quite literally just posted in another thread.. So who knows, keep your eye out for random specials and it might be a bit more possible than you think.

Never say never. Unless youre saying never..

Only then, never any other time.

I can relate possibly just a small one for the os and keep the other for user folder...

Again, although, instead of moving the entire user folder, you can just move your data folders to the other drive. I have a 128GB Samsung 840 Pro for my boot drive and its performance is sizzling. 128GB is plenty big for my OS and Programs. The 850 Pro has replaced the 840 pros but the 850 pros are selling for even less than the 840 Pros now. You can get one at Newegg for only $100. If you are really strapped, the Crucial MX100 is only $72 (although I feel it is worth holding out for the 850 Pro).

I may Do just that. But I am trading 2 Network Routers for 2 500GB 7500 RPM Drives. I am Saving cash currently for my drivers license fees.

What about mine?




The laptop was made in Sep.19,2012 and bought in January 2013. In RAM,the max will always be 5.9,because the laptop has a 64-bit processor (Intel Core i3-3110M) and 4 GB RAM. It can do most of the things I want fast,but it also gets hot really fast.

 

[ThrashZone]

SSd's also cut down on heat and your Primary hard disk score will be nearly perfect

 

[VistaUltimate]

True,the hard disk is the one who gets hot faster than any other component in my laptop. However,that doesn't mean that it is the hottest. The highest degree was 75°C/167°F and it was achieved by the CPU and motherboard. The hard disk has reached 57°C/134.6°F so far. I'm surprised to see that in my VM the base score was 4.3 (Windows Vista x64).

The CPU and motherboard have nearly the same temperature every time.

 

[AddRAM]

The CPU is always the hottest spot in a laptop because of inadequate cooling

 

[ThrashZone]

Yep I returned a laptop because it was acting more like a small space heater than a laptop = it was unusable,
Probably more a sign of a defective design/ fan.... as AddRam has pointed out

My returned one was not a gaming computer either

Great! You can't do any better than that without Photoshop!

 

[essenbe]

Looks great, Gav. It doesn't get any better than that.

 

[Boozad]

Thanks all. As soon as I get the new fans fitted to the H80i tomorrow I'll start putting it through its paces to see what it can do, it's just too bloody loud at the moment.
