Hello again!

Does this board supports *multiple* RAID-configurations, or i need an additional RAID-controller? I mean something like two 500gb drives in raid 1 mirror array and two separate 1tb drives into another raid 1 mirror array? Didn't checked it, but maybe should i turn on onboard devices prompts?

Does the Thermal Throttling belongs only to CPU, or is it a part of Intel SpeedStep technology?
Does C1E state still locked to enabled?

(I was out of PC market for at least 7 years...)

You should be able to do that.

as for thermal throttling, good question. I dont think that you can disable it...as i think that it can work in more than one way.

1) if your CPU is above the lowest multi (even with speedstep enabled, which is more of a power saver than a CPU protection mechanism) and you hit the thermal threshold, the CPU will start to lower the multi to reduce the frequency in an attemp to reduce the heat.

2) at some point, the CPU will limit the maximum load that it will take. For example, under normal conditions, the CPU will run at 100% load, but when it gets too hot, it may run at something like 80% of the maximum load for the current settings (hostXmulti).

for your last question, i think that with the newest BIOS, disabling C1E will actually disable it. my memory is that earlier versions had the option, but it didnt work correctly.
