Not Sure about the duals - Only got a quad. Im Back on 1307

New kit is working rather well, just got tweak the timing to get my read score up a bit
Runs really cool compared to the CL5D's

does anyone know if RAID-0 will run faster under ICH10R or the speeding HD connected to the two black ports? since i couldn't set up the RAID0 correctly on ICH10R, i used the speeding HD with two velociraptors, and it seems a bit slow. i'm only getting about 131mb/s average transfer rate.
and second, how do i set up a RAID on the ICH10R? when i set the SATA to RAID in the BIOS, it seems like the boot up gets frozen during the POST. i tried putting the RAID drivers from the CD on a flash drive also and it won't work. i formatted the flash drive to FAT format. tried this on BIOS 1501 and ket's modded 1307. does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
I run Raid0 and I'm getting about 125MB/S on my WD 7200PRM drives so I would say your raptor scores are low.
I use Vista and required NO raid drivers to install.
If your using XP try getting teh updated chipsets drivers from Intel they might help.
If you have a spare drive about you could alwayd install the OS on it then creat the raid in XP and migrate the OS drive to the raid and it should be good. A few extra steps but it will work. Or you could send me those raptors and I can test them to make sure there not faulty :D:D:D:D
Here are the links to the UPDATED raid drivers

Can u post your voltages settings??
My Gskill PI run Prime blend 11h at 570 mhz...but i need 1.4+ @NB so there is a problem with..--> (f@cking vNB-VTT=0.15 bug :D).
i have booted at 580,590 but the system is very unstable.
At 600 mhz the mobo posts !! but freezes when loading win..;) :up:
just tried BIOS 1602 in hopes of fixing my RAID problem, but after a reboot after the BIOS flash, it can't even get past the POST
This is a fantastic board, I am loving it.
It runs so cool... Check out NB / SB / MOSFET temps during 2h of prime95...
Air cooled system. Ambient temps arround 27-28C.

hey all, just got this beast on thursday, but haven't had the time to play until last night... here's where i'm at now.

this is the first time i've ever tried overclocking with an intel chipset, always used nvidia before, so a lot of these options are new. :confused:
does anyone know if asus' pc probe is accurate for voltages?
i want to say thanks to everyone posting problems/solutions because they have been VERY helpful! every time occt wouldn't pass i was digging through this thread looking for answers!;)
the voltages are pretty accurate to -/+ 0.01v. you could use a digital mulitmeter to measure the actual voltages.
your e8500 is an E0, so you wont need 1.3X vcore for just 4ghz unless it's a really bad chip. you can either lower the vcore or raise your clocks
hmmm i seem to be having a problem dropping my FSB to 500 w/ 8.5 multi and then using 5:6 ratio, i can get bench stable w/ 2.35 vdimm but im getting frequent crashes while gaming. so atm im back on 533x8 1:1.
should i try relaxing the timings? or should i adjust something else. messing with any of the GTL's bluescreens me when loading windows.
Unless your dominators are D9 based its very unlikely you'll be running 1200MHz on a reasonable voltage.
guys just a question: is it true that the white slots (DIMM) are better than the blue?
Yes, on the manual, they recommend the blue ones. They don't say why...
@EVO, they sent revision A2.
LOL yellow slots! =D
On my printed manual, it says blue slots.
Looks like you have some funny manual there hum? Are you sure it is a MIIF manual? Maybe a DFI manual? =/
ATM I use the white slots!
Can any one confirm that the blue slots do any improvement?? :)
ppl see what they want....my 4 kits of ram perform the same in the blue or white there is no diffrence in performance or clocks
I haven't seen any difference too. I tryed the blue and white also.
But I am no board engineer, and if asus's board engineers wrote that on the manual, there should be a reason for it. So, I say using the blue slots, is probably the smartest choice. Trying to out-smart the asus board engineers is probably the "not so smart" choice.
