In RAID 0, data is striped across 2 or more drives. Your total storage capacity therefore is the sum of all the drives in the array. PROs: Read and write speed, large storage. CONs: Lose 1 drive and you've lost EVERYTHING.Quote:

Read speed is actually good because the controller can read data from either drive.

3. What are meant by strip size? What are the amount i should put in when creating the RAID set (as stated in the manual) ?
4. Is it possible to create partition(s) within the RAID drives itself? I.e. splitting the 320Gb to say 200GB (Drive C) and 120 (drive D).
5. Let's say, I have already installed XP w/o the RAID drivers. Is there anyway to bypass the XP installation again ?
p.s. Btw, how did removing the master jumper solved the IDE dvd drive problem? Care to explain ? Thanks
That's some nice ram. Can't really compete with that.Quote:

It does - it changed the Tjunction to 100 and now shows similar temps to TAT (for me at least). Speedfan is about 15C off. I think I liked it better the old way. :)Quote:

3. The stripe size specifies how big the blocks written to the array are. If 64K for instance, and there are 2 drives, that means that 32k will be written to each drive. Not really important for RAID 1 since all data goes to both drives. Set to the highest. I forget if that's 64k or 128k,
4: Yep. In Windows disk management you'll see a single 320G drive that you can partition as you see fit.
5: If you have Windows installed on the IDE drive then you're in good shape. First, get the latest Intel Matrix Storage Manager package from http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imsm/
Then restart the system and put the controller in RAID mode and create the array using the new BIOS screen that will pop up. Now reboot and when Windows comes up, you should get a prompt for drivers. Just cancel and install the full package you got from Intel.
EDIT: The jumper thing... I'm guessing you had the ide hard drive and the dvd on different ide controllers on your old board so they could both be masters. Since the bx2 has only 1 ide port when you connected both devices you had 2 masters on the same controller which isn't valid. When the ide driver loaded it got very confused. Removing the jumper on the dvd put it in "cable select" mode which made it be a slave instead of master.
thks mate am running on raid 1 now.
funny thing about the ide drive and ide hd.
still hangs if i load em together (i.e. one ide cable linking the hd, cdrom and ide connector together):
I---------------I-------I
ide port dvdrom ide hd
however if i were to do this:
I---------------I-------I
ide port dvdrom
or
I---------------I-------I
ide port ide hd
everything would be just fine. tried a second ide cable. same results. bx2 bug u reckon ??
1. Can i disable this option at BIOS to avoid seeing all the RAID splash screen:
Advanced - Peripheral - Disable Secondary Controller
2. What's with all the weird wordings that appear on the bottom right of the screen after the BIOS update(i.e. E9, 0, 94,B2, etc). Any way to get rid of em ?
I re-ran the benchmarks and got 5266 for Copy this time. You're probably right about Vista. I mean, I have the SideBar running a couple of gadgets, etc...who knows.Quote:

With my current settings, I got 9504 marks with 3DMark06 at 1600x1200, no antialiasing. Not bad, I guess. Room to grow.
Here's how it works...Quote:

So if you have...

Secondary SATA Controller is the Marvell (red/blue ports). OK to disable it if you're not using it.Quote:

Just got my brand new BX2, the revision is 505 and the bios is version 2663
I bought the bulk version and pair`ed it with an E4300.
The only mods I have done so far is replacing the thermalpaste from Intel with AS5 on the northbridge and A.Ceramique on the southbridge. The stuff that Intel had supplyed with the board didn`t look to High-End :nono:
So far I have not clocked the board or CPU to any max limit, but the first results look good so far.. Will come back with the max OC when I get done.
But as many others I have issues with C1E + EIST. CPU-Z is constantly reporting that the multiplier changes from 6 -> 9 and so on :(
As an old overclocker I like to have FULL control of thing`s like multis my self and this issue is driving me nuts :slapass:
Have done this:
- disabled C1E in maintanance mode
- disabled WatchDog maintanance mode
- turned off EIST
- set all option`s in "override" menu to my own whishes (Voltages, memory timings, and all that stuff..)
The Board OC like it should, and when I put som workload on the CPU it run at the intended speed. But you all know what happens in IDLE, the multi dropps instantly to 6. This is not "the end of the world" for me, BUT do the Voltages and other stuff that I have set manually also get overridden?! :confused:
If so, then I get really worried! I must at any time have control over voltages and timings, this is really important to me as an overcloker.
Must post nice litle pic of the NB, production date 06 is 2006.. but 82? What week is that? ;)
I wouldn't call my solution after market, but I took a fan retension mechanism for a P3 800 I have lying around and it fits the NB heatsink like a glove. A little artic silver on the NB and this fan assembly and it runs completey cool to the touch. No forcing or modifications needed. Of course this isn't a passive solution for those looking for silence and probably not what you were looking for but I thought I would share in case anyone else was interested too.Quote:

Welcome to the club! Get the latest RMClock Beta from http://forum.rightmark.org/?id=6 and you'll be able to turn C1E on and off at will.Quote:

And it would also be nice not to start an app everytime I start my PC, is this problem only present in the BX2 or are other 975X boards also affected by this issue? If not, why can`t Intel correct this in a BIOS relase before I go completly nuts and have to sue them for PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) :toast:
Thanx for the Mars info regarding prod week!
Look at the jumpers. There's usually a label or something telling you which position is which. Sometimes it's no jumper that sets cable select.Quote:

hi guys, great forum. just wanted to ask if 370fsb at 1.35 vcore, 1.6vmch, 1.25 vfsb is a good place to use for everyday use. this is my first time overclocking and this thread was a great resource. i stopped at 23 hrs orthos blend stable at these settings but got a bsod after playing company of heroes. but i didnt restart the computer after using orthos for that long. does that mean its unstable? since restarting and playing again ive had no bsod. i still have to check my memory with memtest. anyway, this is how i approached my overclock. im still new to everything. any constructive criticism would be great. thanks.
my first overlock attempt
note i have the bx2 with 2333 bios and a e6300 allendale. c1e eist off and power slope on. i dont trust my xclio 500w psu yet. my timings are 5 5 5 15.
The only thing C1E plays with is multipler and core voltage and if you've set the vcore to something other than default, then it doesn't even affect that.Quote:

Might be good for you to report it as well. Use the form at http://supportmail.intel.com/scripts...d=36,2386,2578
Make sure you use a concise description like "Disabling C1E in the BIOS does not disable C1E on the processor"
