msi 790 fx-gd70 thread

[TurboDiv]

I have an important question. I am currently using BIOS 1.3 which has been rock solid since i got the motherboard some months ago. I dont have any problems overclcoking or stability issues but I have just ordered an Intel SSD drive. Now, I have read a lot of articles regarding the bad SATA support on the MSI board compared to other 790FX boards. It wants to have an AMD Raid Driver just to get the maximum performance out of a single HDD. All this makes me think that i wont be getting the best performance out of my SSD right out of the box compared to all other Intel ICH9 controllers which are pretty much better in terms of SATA support. My question is do any of you have a SSD drive hooked up and which bios are you using ? I see that Bios 1.5 for this board has some sort of SATA controller improvement, do i need to update from my 1.3 ? Any1 using 1.3 + SSD, if so can you post some performance screenshots with native Windows 7 AHCI drivers (automatic trim support) compared to AMD AHCI drivers (manual trim support needed with some 3rd party tool from the SSD manufacturer.) ? All this SSD stuff makes me dizzy and i want to get it right from the first try when i get my Intel X-25M.. Thanks in advance.
