I solved all my issues that I care about (RAID-0 drive lost issue, memory underclocked issue, cold boot twice issue, bios screen shown twice issue, how to overclock correctly, memory unstable issue) -- all thanks to these forums (particularly Gary and Juan). I'm now running a stable 4.5Ghz...
Perhaps but as soon as I moved my memory to run at 1333Mhz, I had no errors after 8 hours. Before I would get errors anywhere between 2min to 2hours run of prime95. So regardless I think my system is more stable now.
I went with Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 8GB (2x4GB) which is rated at 1600Mhz, 9-9-9-24, 1.5v.
I've had real trouble getting my build to be rock stable - when I run prime95 it hits an error after around 2hours.
I'm running 1253 bios with a p8p67 pro and 2600k CPU. I set the memory to...
Yep, this should work fine. I got two Intel SSD X-25M 160GB in RAID-0 formation plus a standalone 2TB Seagate on my P8P67 MB. I just changed the bios setting from ACHI to RAID, which puts all the drives under the control of the Intel RAID controller. Then save and exit the bios config screen...
just a fyi - there's some results from from two Intel SSD X-25M 160GB in RAID-0 on a Asus P8P67 Pro MB with the 1253 bios. It'll likely will be outdone by C300s in RAID-0. One con about about a SSD RAID setup is that Intel yet doesn't support TRIM + RAID
