MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU

[gt_white_gold]

Does anyone know if the crashed harddrive problem is still present in the MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU?

I was thinking about purchasing one, but if overclocking will either erase or kill my harddrive I believe that I should make a different purchasing decision.

Thanks in advance.

Isn't this a common problem with any board using high FSBs if HDD connected to standard IDE instead of Raid socket??
I run my hard-drives off my highpoint controller to avoid problems such as this...

I never lost a HD on my MSI mobo's I just could not get them higher than 162 on a 266 mobo with my old tried and true T-B, depending how high your trying to go I do not see a problem I just built a system for a pal with a 333 ultra with a fortis A102 Pro HSF samsung pc2700 his xp hums along at 10x170...and everthing works USB's Firewire; he's not hardcore just wanted fast and stable

I had seen an incident in which it was using the 166fsb setting and the 1/5 pci multiplier was not properly implemented causing said errors.

I honestly cannot say there were any problems with MSi 266a mobos or 333 mobos as LONG as they were kept at around 170 FSB I have a M8 in England that gets great #s on MSI mobos, he has his own custom bios and such if you Pm me I'll give you his addy..IMO the msi boards are feature filled ,inexpensive mobos that clock easy to a certain point...other than Trubador (my M8) I have seen nobody get ABIT type #s
