WWSittingduck Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 server board is an Asus Maximus VII. everytime the server restarts, get a slew of messages of apps that were unable to start. Gotta feeling they are refering to some of the asus support software. If anyone has this board, or has had it in the past, would be interested to know if they found the Asus software usefull. There is a setting to "throttle" the speed for games. I am usually skeptical of such software, but if it actually does something, might be benifical. also noticed this board supports m2. seems to me a no brainer to take out the ssd drive and go m2.

WWSittingduck Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 ok, open up to some hi-tech opinions. older architecture here, the m2 is a pci-e interface, 10gb/s, still has to be faster than a sata mechanical drive. If I keep the os where it is, and put the game on an m2 drive, will there be much difference between that and moving the os and game to the m2. I have no idea where this game stores it's temp files, either in RAM or virtual memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWSandMan Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 SATA (II or III?) is 6gb/sec, so your pci-e M2 drive at 10gb/sec will be faster. Suggest OS and game(s) installed on there if you have the space. I have an older Asus board, do not currently have the board auxiliary software installed. I had made some use of some of the apps in the past, mostly related to over-clocking via GUI. I tinker in the BIOS now instead of GUI apps that do the same thing.

WWSittingduck Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 think that is the route I will end up going. This is one of those things your afraid your going to end up sitting there thinking why didn't I just leave it alone...it was working fine... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
