I have a Hitachi sATA 2 hdd (see sig), sATA 2 ,when active, gives me some sh*t at windows boot, the hdd LED blinks a while and the drive is making strange sound, it happens on warm boot, dunno why ... :stick: Any ideas?
Nope, soz man. I have an 80GB WD SATA and an 80GB Seagate SATA in RAID 0, both 80GB on nVRAID, and they're fast and don't give prob's. You're using the purple port's right?
And yea this board does kick ass, and the bios is great too. :)
I have ballistix like you too. Kick ass don't they. :D
Perfect for this board.
I know with every MSI Motherboard I ever had they died on me within 3 months or so and had to RMA them for a new one. I had a total of 2 different MSIs and I will never buy one again. DFI all the way! LoL
I built a system for a good friend of mine based on this board. I liked it alot. We weren't able to get it up as high as you folks, topping out at 250HTT, but I think that's cause of the crappy mem controller on the winchester he's got. It's good to know that results in excess of 3Ghz are possible on this board with Opties, grats folks!
Yeah, its a great combination, very nice for both games and benchin,Quote:

have to be perfectly cooled thou :exclaim:
This mobo goes rock-stable at high clocks and low volts even the a Winchester!
From my expieriences the best OC-stable BIOSes for this mobo are: 1.6 and 1.A,
the 1.9 wasnt that good for me, didnt test the new 1.B yet
TRY THEM! Maybe could give you better results! Have fun ... :toast:
i owe a msi myself, but still i think dfi is better
why?
with the right bios you get higher mem frequency
higher cpu frequency
=> better overclock => better results
:D Nice result on air....., i can do exactly this only on water:

But I can do the 273 1:1 at 2-2-2-5. You need better RAM guys........;)
