But when raise the multi to the dizzy heights of 15 (3GHz) it will just lock up, ive tried uping each voltage one by one but it still lock in the first 17s of LinX.

any chance of speeding up the boot up time on jmicron raid for the ex58 extreme? i was able to borrow my old msi eclipse and did try to setup the HW raid on both eclipse and extreme and i clocked that the eclipse is around 3-5 secs faster than the extreme Also I attached the silent pipe and my IOH cooling is pretty good but i am not happy with the build in sound of the giga board so i am planning to buy xfi platinum pcie. I can put that in the last x16 slot ( configure as x8 ) right ? or is there another driver aside from realtek ( of there are any 3rd party driver that works with vista 64 please ) that can improve the sound quality of this board ( well to save some cost on my part ).


my setup
ex58 extreme - f8b
i7 920 cooled by hr01+
g skill 3 x 2 gig ddr3 1600 8-8-8-21 1.6v
MSI gtx275
2 x 74gb WD raptor 10k rpm 16mb cache -- raid 0 via HW raid
1 tb + 640 gb WD black for data and games
700W PSU
