I wonder can you just copy Program Files //(x86) to your storage drive. Delete it on the main drive and create a symbolic link? All in Safe Mode? Otherwise in Safe Mode Command Prompt?


Maybe something like this (assuming C is your main ssd directory)
Code:
c:
cd \
xcopy "Program Files"  D:\"Program Files" /B /K /H /E /O
xcopy "Program Files (x86)"  D:\"Program Files (x86)" /B /K /H /E /O
rd /S /Q "Program Files"
rd /S /Q "Program Files (x86)" 
mklink /D "Program Files"  D:\"Program Files"
mklink /D "Program Files (x86)"  D:\"Program Files (x86)"

To explain what this does (at least if it works) is:
first line: go to C drive
second line: go to the main directory (C:\)
copy Program Files to D drive (/B is copy sym links not folder, /K is copy attributes, /H is copy hidden /E copies empty dir /O copies ownership information, someone else tell me what else should probably be needed kuz I don't know)
copy 32 bit version to D drive
delete program files and everything in it quietly
deletes the 32 bit version of program files and everything in it and quietly
create a symbolic link from program files to D drive version
create a symbolic link from program files to d drive version...

Now whenever you install anything to C:\Program Files it'll really be in D:\Program Files... etc

Wow! it's amazing what a difference the proper application of thermal paste will make! Obviously my first attempt was not good but following Gunsrunner's tip has worked a treat!.Now running prime95 at a fairly steady 42 degrees on HWmonitor. Very very pleased with this! thumb.gifthumb.gifthumb.gif

Now, which should I believe? HWmonitor tells me 42 degrees but AMD overdrive is showing around 50, seems a really big discrepency

you might be able to setup JBOD but i don't think that guarentees it'll be on the ssd

I did this (referring to the cmd prompt stuff) for some system files when I had a 60gb ssd and r/w limit was a paranoia issue and steam games. doesn't matter much now.
