790 corruption issues?

[slim142]

Anybody besides OBR had corruptions or BSoDs using RAID with Nvidia Mediashield?

Sorry if I missed it, but could these issues be avoided by using a Areca RAID Controller? Obviously this doesn't help if your RAM overclock is what mucks it up, but would it help in the other cases?

on the drives connected to the Areca? i find that not likely possible...

hmm

Much time has passed for me testing the Striker II Extreme & I'm still not sure how I corrupted my first install of vista 64bit.
I'm now 100% sure that this issue does not apply to my setup or motherboard.
I've tried everything to get corruption to happen but it just won't repeat. How many times can you BSOD ect, run everything that you can think of & windows still boots.

Now on another note, I changed from vista64 to vista32 can this be the difference?
Can we get a run down on what operating system is being used, just a thought but maybe nothing.
Only other change I made was viper 1600 to viper 1800, just can't see that making a difference.

It was on the mtron SSDs or the normal discs?

2 Mtron SSD connected to the Areca 1231ML in the middle PCI-E slot of the Asus Striker II Extreme.

Did you contact Areca or Mtron support?
I suspect that is not casued by the s2e...

Not a fact, but it could've been done by the S2E SB easily.

If you had to guess which of the following hardware is causing OS corruptions, which one will you put your money on?

The motherboard, which have a 14 page and increasing thread dedicated to the aforementioned problem, or;

The RAID Controller + SSD, that works perfectly on ALL of my motherboards (see sig), but happens to corrupt the OS on the ONE motherboard that are having a 14 page and increasing thread dedicated to the aforementioned problem?

Ever thought that maybe the Striker II Extreme might be the cause?

The corruption is nvidia 570 southbridge related, as usual. doesnt matter if you have a raid controller like Areca or you plug in sata conectors from motherboard, the pci express slots and sata conectors all are controlled by 570.

I thought the first and third PCI-E slot (PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2) are controlled by the 790i SPP?

I installed the Areca on the last PCI-E slot, therefore it may not be caused by the nvidia 570 SB?

I think that many issues could be fixed simply not installing mediashield, and putting the correct settings for memory too, to avoid bsods.

If raising the FSB from 333 to 334 is incorrect settings, and therefore corrupted the OS, then please educate us on what is..
Media shield or not, corruption occurs.

Furthermore, dont you think guys, that current boards still are not prepared for dual channel ddr3 1600 and above? the fsb only reaches 1600 stock, dual channel 1600 is too high for it...

No. Your argument is invalid simply because nVidia advertises their 790i chipset to handle DDR3 speeds of up to and beyond 2000Mhz. Are you sympathizing with nVidia for not able to handle speeds they advertise to support, because they are "not prepared"?

What is the most obvious may not be the cause sometimes.
I have read somewhere of issues of the mtron SSD drives when used in raid.
my 0.2 cents.
