So I have no idea about what happened the first time but, this time the computer has been running for almost 2 full days with 0 problems.
I had a 680 almost kill my raptor 150 aswell. The raptor150 has been cause for several sata errors on various boards. NEw firmwares should have addressed this by now. I got rid of the pos 680 though after my second try. My raptor turned out to be fine on intel board.
as anyone tried a pcie/pci sata controller yet?
Poll reset to zeros on saaya's request as some didn't understand.
Vote for one only please and everyone above this post please vote again.
Thanks.
actually, you can vote for both if you do/did have access to reference board and the asus board :)
so those hdds dieing could be a problem of the WD firmware?
i dont know... then how come they only seem to die on nvidia chipsets?
1. it weighed quite a few kilosQuote:

3. i didnt like the design tbh
4. you had to literally take half the case apart to change the psu depending on the size of the psu
5. cheap plastic bad quality usb and sound plugs on the top
thanks vince :D looks like youll have to vote again tho ^^Quote:

but back to hdd problems, has smbody experience about when and how coming this issues? with high nb voltage, or if you test max fsb, push the mobo some high clocks ect... this could be REALLY important...
I haven't voted since this is 790i but my 780i corrupted HD [WD?] and hence OS after plus 470FSB oc'ing with DDR2 MEM under 650 always, so I'm not sure you can say it's a problem restricted to only 790i. I have a dual boot with Ubuntu 64b, 64b is always more vigilant to catching MEM errors so I try it. I just booted the Ubuntu install after I felt the errors were being caused with very heavy fragmentation and it showed all the offsets which were corrupted at boot and when booting Windows again, the drive kept needing Checkdisk to fix physical errors. SATA II drive, E8400, S2F. CPU/MEM can do these settings easily though and they seemed fine on the S2F until I rebooted.
You'd have to test very accurately to determine any corruption at low and stable settings, for a first, you'd have to know the state of hardware and OS right before the "corruption inducing" tests.
hmmm i emailed gary from anandtech but didnt get a reply yet...
ask xt0m, he had 2 hdds die on him, he should be able to give you some details.
if he tells you interesting details please post them here :D
and dinos, you cant vote?
you should all be able to vote again, editing wasnt possible so i asked for a clear reset.
KTE, well, this hdd corruption thing seems to be related to the southbridge, which on 790 and 680 is identical right?
the memory instability causing corruption seems to be yet another problem related to the northbridge, or maybe just the bios...
hopefully just the bios...
Yep can't vote again. :( "You have already voted on this poll"
I'll be watching this to see how it develops.
Maybe this is why Vista64, kept blue screening on me. Finally resulting in NTFS Failure and had to reinstall.
I went back to XP this go around, and haven't had the issue from that point on.
Now I have been having problems getting it to run stable with memory at 1333, but it could just be the ram. I have had the bios come up as corruption but a reset makes it go away. This is with the ram being set to 1333.
Also, the people that have been experiencing this corruption are using nvidia sata drivers or vista ones (assuming it has their own)?
I don't think it's a driver related issue ;)
nvidia sata drivers here
im waiting for staff to fix the poll guys, just hang in there :D
it should dissapear soon, then there will be a fresh poll and i will pm you all asking to vote again :D
sorry for the hassle... seems polls arent working very well in vbulletin...
nvidia SATA drivers a CR@P and always seem to have been, EVGA recommended NOT using them over on their forums.
What does EVGA recommend us using?Quote:

Hopefully this means something (dont know how serious NVIDIA is, but remembering 680i, we might have a solution soon). We need the fix ASAP as I have components ready to be OC! :D
I think you mean nForce 9.64 since I dont remember 9.46Quote:

Do you think ASUS would exchange the board if NVIDIA made an announcement saying B1 SPPs are defective?Quote:

The design, seems ok for me, and about the PSU, yes thats right TT has always made the worse PSU space designs. About the cheap plastic well, not all is made of plastic, bad quality USB? Im not gonna use that neither the sound plugs :)
The reason why Im interested on that case is because is spacious and it has cable management (not as good as Antec but has one)
See? ;)Quote:
