I got the BSOD duing the time when it said "Windows is starting up." During install. It just froze there and after some time (<5min) it just got a BSOD.Quote:

I am not using the Jmicron controller.
I selected RAID instead of AHCI. I think that is the reason for the BSOD.

are you re-doing it to confirm now?
i am about ready to run AHCI install if you haven't found the problem...LMK

I don't have to enable the controller do I?
that controller might possibly be intererring with the installation...disable it!
have you re-installed the AHCI (OS) driver to see if that makes it work since you believed you used the Raid driver by mistake?
I thought I needed the Raid driver?Quote:

I will try to disable it and try installing again, but not right now. :)
EDIT:
I installed the AHCI driver from the driver disk. I restarted and ran the tests with and without volume write back cache. There are the same results as before.
i am going to run an installation on a solo drive since i do have the time and want to test it to see how good AHCI is...although, AHCI is like NCQ and that only comes to fruition when you have multiple file requests going on at the same time...AHCI driver can work out of order for the requests by picking out the closest request first...it supposedly avoids thrashing from disc to disc looking for the files which leads to greater time getting the job done.
By the way. The floppy driver that you linked for me was for the previous chipset. (ICH8)Quote:

I am going to try to do something similar on my build in progress. I have a stack of Thermalright boxes patiently waiting on my desk with an HR-03+,Ultra 120EX,and both of the HR-05's, for my IP35 Pro from which I have removed the heatpipe system. Also an Antec 900 case:cool:Quote:

I am debating about putting two rows of copper ramsinks on the pwm chips and mounting a 40mm delta fan beside it, to avoid cutting the heatpipe on the stock cooler and using that instead. Don't know if that would provide effective cooling to the pwm though:shrug:
If you wanna save the stock heatpipe cooler, just get a HR-09u.Quote:

Thermalright's page states it not being compatible with the ip35-pro.Quote:

well, after many hours of fooling with trying to make AHCI work...i finally conquered it.
i was overclocking pretty good...i thought my voltages were sufficient but not necessarily for a DOS windows install.
on the first couple of attempts my solo drive was not showing up in the windows setup...the post screen showed AHCI...the post screen was quick...i could not catch it correctly by using the "pause" key...i see part of it...the drive info went like a flash...could never read it.
after multiple re-configurations by plugging it into different Intel ports...it finally showed up when i enable the virtualization technology...that little change made the drive partitions show up...i made two partitions on the drive through my other OS...i then turned off the virtualization setting and that did not disrupt the AHCI from that point on.
i am thinking the vcore was a tad low and the ICHIO 1.5 was a tad low to support the overclock in DOS...on top of that, my memory timings were probably to tight...loosen those up too!
finally, i was able to use AHCI on the solo drive.
the procedure the way i see to utilize AHCI.
1. enable AHCI in the bios
2. set boot device order such as hard drive, sata drive (select drive name), floppy (if installed).
3. go into "hard disk booting priority" and move the drive to the top of the list that you are using for AHCI.
4. set sufficient vcore, CPU VTT, MCH, vdimm and ICHIO 1.5v to support your overclock...even if you run setup at default speed juice up vcore and ICHIO 1.5v just a little.
5. run loose timings during the OS install
that's it in a nutshell.;)
This board is great.
Granted I haven't done anything extreme yet, I booted right in at 400x7 to install Windows, then went back in after everything was set up to try 458x7 and again, flawless. Every RAM timing and voltage in the BIOS are bone stock except for the FSB and DDR voltage at 2.1 which I don't really know how much it needs at this point. We'll see how it does with some RAM timing tweaking.
So far rock solid board. This has been the absolute #1 issue-free system build I have ever done. I feel like I am barely tickling the thing and it loves it.
Wow very complete work. :clap:Quote:

Do I install the first one on the list here?

i am enjoying it big time!Quote:

only two areas that i could quibble about...one is the vdrop+vdroop and the other is the heatpipe installation...you need to remove that...sit it on a flat surfac to level it...and then do my mod.

How much did you drop your temps by doing that?
I read a lot of talk about vdroop too - CPU-Z says my load vcore drops as low as 1.288 with 1.350 set in the BIOS...
do you have the pro board or the non pro?
It sounds to me that AHCI is used for none raid? Is that right? My goal is to make my raid 0 array work right. :(Quote:

Also
I don't think HR-09 (either U or S) will fit (it's too narrow to cover all the chips)
