get raid 0 for OS drive

 

Would ssd+hdd in raid 0 cause decrease performance, since ssd is much faster than hdd?

Somebody mentioned the H80i... no, it's not going to cool any better than the Red Scorpion.

 

For AIO look at a H110, or a H105 if you haven't the rad space.

 

For air, look at the new NH-D15.

Got 2 SSD, one for W7 x64 and one for FSX, all the other files are on another computer, accesable trough network, also for FSUIPC or EFASS.

Also 8gb of ram, Vengeance 1600 mhz CL9.

My systeem is pure, no addons like ASN or so.

Gonna make a test approach Insbruck the next days.
