Configuration question. Please help
I have 3 SATA drives and just want to install them on the Intel ICH8R controller.
(Not the JMB. I just want to connect my "old" DVD burner here ). First disk intended as OS disk (No RAID) the other 2 as RAID 1.
How to do that. ?
In Bios I found an option for EDIE configuration [EIDE,AHCI,RAID] but cannot set individually for each device. ???
Seems to me there is no option to just mix a RAID,NON RAID configuration on a single controller.
Thanks.
do somebody have problems with the front USB connected to the bottom of the MB?
I'm using the bottom right one on the mobo. Works perfectly fine from all that i can tell.Quote:

hi guys, i bought a p5b-dlx 1.03g . suprb but i had the X1 link bug. flashed to 0804 from 0711 and it got fixed .
its a damn nice mobo :D
I never got t try any BIOS, my first P5B-D was DOA, and the second died after a couple of reboots. Got a nasty burning smell from the board. I guess I was lucky it didn't take anything else with it. My first Asus board and I am not impressed.
Well...after several weeks of corrupt data, crashes no post, clearing cmos trying diff ram slots trying one stick pulling cpu, etc..... reformating reinstalling windoes over and over and over.....I finally could not get my P5B to POST...no matter what I tried....was about to RMA it when I tried some some OZC 675 that I had in another system an wala! It's running @ 3700 @ 370 FSB 1:1 @ 740 fine now (The RAM).
Now to try the GSkill HZ PC6400 in the other board to see if they are bad or does the P5B not like it....funning thing is it's been running fine for months up untill a couple weeks ago!
Plug in just your RAID disks, then set the controller to RAID, push CTRL-I to go into the raid setup when prompted then create your RAID-1 (give it a somewhat distinctive volume name). Power down and plug in your OS drive. When you install windows push F6 for the raid driver installation, install the intel driver, select the non-raid volume and create your install partition.Quote:

And why the heck do people want to install the Intel and Jmicron drivers at the same time? You just need to F6 for drivers for one or the other for your BOOT drive. You can install the other one from Windows. And BTW, as long as it's not your boot drive you can switch from AHCI/RAID back to IDE and vice-versa (well unless you have a RAID config). You can not do this with a boot drive because AHCI/RAID changes the boot blocks.
Indeed, the only driver that you SHOULD install during windows setup is the driver for the controller to which your OS volume is connected. If you absolutely MUST have both drivers at install time you can slipstream the drivers into your XP install disc, it's not a hard process:Quote:

my ram's voltage is 1.9 so i guess raising it a little shouldn't create any problems rightQuote:

i'm about to try these settings here
Just to summarize:
-Onboard sound ADI DTS driver problem (scratching, crackling, popping sound and slow boot time into windowsXP etc) My board has it, cant run sound test no.3 in 3Dmark03 = driver problem most likely
-Double restart on high fsb - mine solved with bios update
-4:5 fsb:mem issue - ???
-PCI-X 1x issue - ????
-VDIMM @2.15 doesnt work issue - mine has it
-Mem timings 4-4-4 > 4-4-3 > 3-3-3 issue - ??????==>

-Slow USB device detection - ????????
I think this mobo is setting its own WR :D
I hope u guys test ur mobos with all possible bugs and RMA it if u can, coz it aint gonna be easy to sell it IF u do have plan for it in the future.

Hi sluzbenik
If you read http://www.codemonkeyx.net/node/22 there seems some people have problems with "Windows Installation" of the JMB drivers resulting in strange driver/controller allocation ending up finally with DVD drives on PATA connector not working properly very slow etc. I have seen several complaints here in the forum.Quote:

Thanks for the info regarding the Bios switch [AHCI,RAID,IDE].
I did not understand setting is important only for the Boot device. !!

do the asus team read forums like this?

Best temp monitors are CoreTemp and TAT ... they report the internal (die) temp of the proc ... bios and asus probe only report temps registered by the mb sensors.
Try the settings from my first post (be sure not to miss anything) and come back with the results ...and hopefully a bear or two ;)
Does anyone know how to increase fan speed to 2800 rpms without using qfan-or ai programs? I know people working with winbond but I can't wait to oc more & more fans in my case seem to make temps go up or the arctic silver 2 I used is "old"? or not as good as the stock thermal pads used when I switched to the 680.
~ Problems? Well My DVD burner sounds like a cross between a cow & a hovercraft!
I just bought this motherboard for my new E6600 BUILD. Did I make a good choice? My goals for this build is to hit 3.5GHz+ using my 630A832 E6600 chip. Will this board make me happy? I've been using a DS3 for my current E6300 and this board is awesome, but this time around I wanted something made by asus. Please tell me I made a good choice for a good and solid oc'able motherboard.
EDIT, I keep reading here about a X1 issue. What the hell is this?
somebody have the pcie 1x problem at ocing..
only when overclocking'?
pcie@1x problem @stock speeds and at overclocked speeds :/
@Hot_fifty: I found that disabling CGI, setting PEG Link to Normal, increasing VNB, VSB, VFSB or a combination of the previous, fixed my problem. But the problem sometimes does reoccur with a failed OC on my gfx card.
Oh no I thought I was going to skate by with the p5b delux wifi/ no big sound issues. Today I went to put my bios (recently went from 0804 to 0711) I thought it may help latency feel in gaming. Anyways went to bios settings to go back to default...for the 6600. I have an audigy 2 platinum installed too (recently - no problems for a week) to test latency ...and The system came back to xp windows active desktop recovery and super loud static. :O
Any Ideas?\
Flashed to bios 0804...thinking I must install windows again and am wondering...should I ditch the audigy or keep it. HD audio was Off...all settings were fine. The only thing I changed was to let asus bios set the voltages & timings for memory etc at 266! Last night I did add a few fans because the temps seemed hot ever since (last week) when I switched back from the 680 BFG....\
So I had to use arctic silver 2 with the chip.
So far it is totally locked up with active desktop recov. & spinning hourglass...:confused:
bleh cant type..
