I installed kalyway_leo_10.5.1 on mine a few months ago. I can't give you much advice, however, since I never used it much and really don't recall the specifics. I do know SATA worked and it was...

@Dabrin

You are right about the WiFi running off a USB port. It sounds like a +5v power problem. Maybe it's not the fault of the PSU but something on the board.

That'll teach Asus to make crappy boards.

I wonder why this isn't documented (I read the RAID section of the manual multiple times and I don't recall this info)? I wish I had more SATA drives to test this configuration with.

Based on what I've read over the past few months of owning this board, any configuration in which the SIL is alive you get no NCQ or SMART. That's great news about enabling the direct ICH7 port...

Yeah, it's IDE and I've had the same issues with different drives installed in the enclosure.



Thanks for the info. I tried switching drives and the second drive did the same thing. I thought...

Is anyone using a FireWire hard drive on this board's FireWire controller? I have and admittedly cheap FireWire/USB to IDE enclosure. I was getting delayed write failures and other error messages and...

That's a great tip if it really works. One of my biggest gripes with this board's design is the use of the SiliconImage port multiplier on the ICH7R. Have you verified that it is really turned off...

You can move one to an EZ port if you don't want RAID. If you move two then, as JBOD apparently doesn't, work you'll have to use RAID or 'big' mode. There is also an internal JMicron SATA port which...

In addition to bichi's suggestions, if you don't want to solder I'd suggest something like JB Weld for reattaching the original or a replacement hook. There's also the option of making a warranty...

Yes, but considering that you are going with 10k RPM drives in RAID 0 one would assume that you are interested in getting the best performance. If that is correct then the EZ-RAID is a bad choice...

No idea about that, but might I suggest not using EZ-RAID? You'll get better performance using SATA 1 and 3.

Yes, you can run one stick at a time.

When it didn't boot with one stick did you try the other stick by itself? Maybe the stick you tried in the board alone (resulting in no boot) was the bad one....

Have you tried typing in the multiplier? Someone said that worked, but he didn't have an unlocked chip so even if it allows you to enter a number it may not actually set the multiplier to that value.

I did have my Adobe apps request reactivation once when I changed something (can't remember what it was now--maybe a driver update), but after reactivating it hasn't happened again.

The EZ-Backup ports are on a port multiplier. They come off what would be SATA 2, so they share SATA 2's maximum theoretical 300MB/s. It is also my understanding that NCQ doesn't work on the EZ...

Update to BIOS 1705.

I just mounted a fan on the stock northbridge heatsink after cleaning off the stock thermal "concrete" and replacing it with AS5.

I want that feature.

Are you pressing the DEL key after the USB had initialized? I use a USB keyboard and it works fine, but I have to wait for the USB controllers to init. I'll see the message "Entering BIOS setup..."...

If you mean adding tRFC to the menu then I agree. It might be possible to edit it in such a way that is uses a more conservative tRFC setting so that manual timings work better, however.

1) Some new memory related thing which pertains to 64-bit OSs. I don't remember exactly what it does at the moment.

2) I do it because the square root of 6 is 2.44948974278 and...

Has anyone tried cpu-z 1.38? I'm getting "An error occured when opening the driver."

I've done it using my mp3 player.

I looked at the RAM at newegg by clicking the link you provided then I checked the reviews there. Granted you have to take those reviews with a grain of salt (a lot of people just don't know what...
