1
00:00:00,599 --> 00:00:06,680
so I've got some pretty cool stuff I'm going to be working on over the weekend

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:10,920
uh first of all I got my Zotac gtx480 that I unboxed the other day and

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:16,199
actually did an NC Tech tips episode regarding uh well I guess the value of a

4
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:21,680
lifetime warranty and then next over I've got an adaptech

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:25,599
5445 RAID controller card it's hooked up

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:27,679
to three Hitachi 1 TB drive so this is

7
00:00:25,599 --> 00:00:32,000
going to be a part of a couple of different things I'm going to do an

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:34,879
episode about their Max IQ SSD cache

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,559
feature and I'm also going to do a actually here I should give some

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:44,719
background for that where's that drive uh got a momentus XT here so basically

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,920
this is like a big um server grade

12
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:52,840
solution of what a momentus XT is so instead of having a single laptop hard

13
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:55,079
drive with one uh 4 gig SSD kind of

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:01:00,760
built in you can take this RAID controller card you can hook up like

15
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,600
three drives in raid five or a raid zero

16
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:10,840
or whatever you want and then you hook up an adaptech SSD as a 32 gig cash for

17
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:14,520
it so that's pretty cool and then the next one over is just a a network card

18
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:20,960
so that's not very interesting but basically I'm going to be doing a couple things these Hitachi drives are for an

19
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:26,000
episode on raid how to set it up how to install Windows on a raid configuration

20
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:29,920
and then this is for the maxiq episode and then this one this Zotac one I'm

21
00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:33,640
actually going to be using for a G4 so overclocking guide it'll be pretty much

22
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:38,320
like the radon overclocking guide but the key difference is that um you have

23
00:01:36,439 --> 00:01:42,159
to adjust the Shader clock as well as the core clock one more piece of

24
00:01:40,119 --> 00:01:47,759
Hardware I have that is pending an episode of tech tips is this Kingston 4

25
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:51,399
gig kit of their blue series RAM and I wish I had a better angle on it so I

26
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:55,560
could show you where it says blue on the heat spreader but it looks like I can't

27
00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:59,280
but that's going to be a little episode on RAM overclocking because Kingston's

28
00:01:58,039 --> 00:02:03,719
big thing with this RAM is that it overclocks really well so there you have it that's

29
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:11,679
all the stuff that's sitting on my test bench right now and uh that is my

30
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,679
weekend update I guess
