just plugged in the Big Typhoon, idle temp looking good...35-36c...gonna do some priming tonite and see how

rite now, i'm having problem wif my OS installation on RAID0...dunno why this board give me so much problem in installing the OS...last time using ultra-d, so easy one setting up the raid and install the os...so many prob...at the end, just setup single disk and proceed with the installation...
has anyone tried to setup RAID using Intel RAID (Storage Matrix) bios...so slow in detecting the hdd...i got 2x SATA hdd, 1xPATA and 1xODD...it took 75seconds for the detection and the menu for the RAID setup is kinda slow and 'jerky' when u move from one item to another in the menu, aiya!...but if use Gigabyte RAID bios, very quick one but problem when installing the OS, if not at the F6, it will be during component installation during GUI setup, Gigabyte controller is not certified by Microsoft???duh, WTH???
dunno la...

mmm...stock back plate...which part is that?
well anyway, primed for 5 hours starting noon...temp shot to 59c...i think ok la since my last priming was at 90c

come on...u can do better than that...share la how to unlock it?
maybe my ds4 can do that as well.

no wonder why i wasted almost one whole day trying to configure the raid but to no avail...using ichr8 cannot, using giga raid pun cannot...and that intel raid bios very bad...so slow in detecting the hdd...just imagine everytime booting, u need to wait > 60 seconds fir the detection...giga raid controller is using a non-microsoft-certified driver...so during gui setup, it will pop-up the window asking to confirm whether to proceed or not...fist pop-up u can click on it, second pop-up, it just frozen like that...so, u cannot click to continue...no good
at the end...just use single hdd, normal installation.

tried it on DS4@F3...cannot one.
maybe just for DS3 certain bios version only.
i'd like to know the ICH8 temp but never mind as long it's stable at 458*7@1.375v is enuff for me.

ooo...need to load optimize setting ka...i just straight away change the fan setting from disable to Intel QST, save boot and entered bios again, hit Ctrl-F1...this is the guide given at by Tony at XS. but mine is DS4, do dunno la.
and some people at XS also mentioned the same thing, they managed to get it done but then later cannot already...chipsmore anyone?

tot u already sold ur ds3...

anyway, noob alert!!!
just wanna ask why my cpu-z (and some others) has grayed "Processor Selection" --> check the pic.


and one more thing...what is the safest vcore for 24/7 usage with good air cooling? 1.4v???

thanks bro...will try it out...
mine is ds4 thou...
what i have done b4:
1. use the orange slot, set "RAID" in BIOS --> this one refers to ICH8 RAID
2. the Intel Matrix Storage screenie was so damn slow in detecting my HDDs (3 hdd, 1 ODD took 75 secs and if I use ICH8 RAID, i need to wait this 75s for every boot-up, silly issnt it)
3. anyway, managed to create the matrix.
4. F6 option, some time has problem loading the driver, error blablabla...i got 3 floppies as a backup, just in case - same prob.

use Giga SATA-RAID controller.
1. at least the RAID screen is better than Intel's, fast detection and smooth movement.
2. matrix created - RAID0
3. F6 option. some time got the same problem as the intel one.
4. IF #3 ok, during GUI setup, installing component and stuff, prompted that the driver (Giga controller) is not certified, nvm, just proceed. then again another pop-up mentioning the same but this time i cannot click or tab or select "Continue" button, default is cancel. setup just stalled there. system doesnt seem to be hanging or something since the bar (the one that going left-to-right then back again) was moving. no other way, cold-booted.

after one whole day doing this, got fed-up, so just use one single hdd installation.
never tot setting up RAID is such a big prob...

probably
most probably the bios itself...just cant imagine u have to wait for such a long time for hdd detection...and some silly typo mistake...'RAID' was spelled 'RIAD'
and how come the driver given (from the CD) is a non-microsoft certified one? not a big deal though IF i managed to go ahead with the installation.
luckily the oc is good...but to be a good ocer mobo, it also need to be stable and this kind of prob should have not existed...like my previous DFI Ultra-D...new BIOS just to make oc better

savadi...ur proc is E6600 not E6300. typo maybe

nice price...last 2 weeks i checked at cycom, selling at 1050...

like gengstapo said, better u list down ur spec...coz there are a lot expert here that would surely would want to help u out, if u let them...

i didnt use default vcore...*wrong info previously *...not much u can get with default vcore...i'm currently running my proc at 1.36xx @3.2ghz...seems stable, so gonna stick to it for 24/7...

hehehe...irenic already cleared up about the the sp2004 stuff...thanks irenic.
i bought mine at Czone...cos me RM780...cannot nego anymore. i think some of the shop also have...PCZone (out of stock that day), Cycom got also, same price. that was last week on monday. better call up first to confirm stock.

if u can run it at 1:1 would be wonderfull...but using kvr667, u might not go far running 1:1, so u need to put the mem on divider...ddr2 667 is using 2.5x to be 1:1...so, imagine if i run at 400fsb, the ram would be 2.5x400=1000Mhz...for normal kvr, prolly hard to do that...but if u put it on divider, mine lowest can do is 2x...so, the mem would run at 2x400=800...still can do la...

what ram do u use bro...in my bios, when i set the vdim to +0.4, i will get the +18VDDR (or something ) status as failed...it's in the PC Health (or something , didnt remember la) portion. dunno what does it mean...

like that one ka...
mmm...for KVR like mine, what do you reckon the safe volt to use...should 2.4v be still ok? currently running at 2.05v at DDR2 916

anything over 800...then u can get a kvr...around 300 onli and can do 970...hehehhe...why pay more when u can get it for less
