2nd that. I had them in in the front of a Lian Li PC9-F, I've since switched to Noctua F12s because of dust filters and hard drive cage in the way, temps have gone down a few degrees. Use the S12s for exhaust now.
So, I got my M1015. At first it showed the same behaviour as the old controller: Works in my ASUS Board, doesn't work in my Intel Board. I had some trouble flashing the controller to IT-Mode, I had to go through 4 Mainboards until I found one that worked.
After this, I plugged it in my Intel...
I haven't seen any of these options in my BIOS, where can I find them?
Edit: I just checked the BIOS again, I can confirm that I do not have these options in any menu.
MarkL: That's exactly what I'm going to do. The Intel RS2WC080 uses the same LSI chip and is on the compatiblity list for the board, so I think M1015 should work (The RS2WC080 is not an option, it sells for 370USD here).
I'm looking at eBay right now. I will report back if the new controller...
Yes I have seen the Intel compatiblity list. The 2TB limitation is sad, but still I have plenty of drives that could connect to this controller, while disks > 2TB could use the onboard ports.
Looks like I have to buy a SAS2008 controller (which thankfully is listed by Intel as compatible)
I just assembled a new server with the following components:
Intel Xeon E-1225
Intel S1200BTL Board
16GB Kingston ECC Intel verified
Intel SASUC8I Controller (LSI 1068e)
The problem is, the firmware of the 1068e won't load in this board, no matter what I do. The card works find in my Asus...
I just bought a P8Z68-V and a 2500K. I can run my system fine at 5.0Ghz most of the day, it's IntelBurnTest stable and PrimeStable, but in Linx I can only run at 4.6Ghz :(.
Any suggestions how to improve Linx stability?
