aaa...want to noe sumtin...
is ok if i use only 4 pin atx 12v into mobos 8 pin...??
im using CM 430w...my mobo is Biostar 570U...it have 8 pin...
is there any bad side effect if i use 4 pin atx only....??

I hope i get things right cause long time no oc since AMD XP1800. Just got my new AMD x2 4800+ with KN9-SLI i hope the setting is right , i have lower the htt to 4x raise the bus speed to 232mhz and vcore to 1.38v but when i raise it to 240mhz my windows random BSOD. Wht should i do? Raise the vcore to 1.4v?

yea jz try raise the vcore...
i got random BSOD for insufficient vcore be4 too...

I understand your problem about the sata ports, as I'm also faced with the same dilemma. Seriously I also have no idea how to find out if the chipset can't take it or the SATA clocked is unlocked until something goes wrong. And yes, the hard disk can be corrupted because of this, I have a Seagate 160GB here suffering the same fate. Mine even needs to be sent for RMA-having read errors even though no bad sectors. Before the incident it was 100% ok.

Its not likely to find any option to lock the SATA ports-I know very few motherboards had it, it was usually listed together with the PCI/AGP/PCI-E clock (which you should ALWAYS lock when overclocking). Currently, SATA usually shares the PCI-E clock, but it depends on board design.

About data recovery, there are a few programs you can try, but since you said the partition went missing, its probably not going to be simple. Most of the easily obtainable data recovery programs require that the partitions are still intact, and preferably not overwritten. There are more complex programs that can, but very hard to find, usually used only by data recovery services and police forensics. I have a contact of a data recovery company, but I'm not sure about the cost.

i see, my pcie clock is locked at 100mhz....pci is locked at 33 when i upgraded bios to the new one...

but how to know if the disk is damaged or how to check if the port is unlocked?

i rmm that i tried raising my dimm voltage to 2.3v then it happend. is it ram fault also? x_x

So, any way to measure the clockspeed of pci and pci-e frequency? Is clockgen reading the correct reading?

I quite worry of my hdd data because my board do not have the pci locked setting
