Ok so trying a few different things. If i start a file transfer FROM a drive attached to the 9260 to a drive that is NOT on the 9260 I get very consistent speeds. It seems the issue is only when transferring from one drive to another when they are both on the 9260. Attached is a screenshot of a...

I found a small chipset fan, attached it to the heatsink, but still the problem persists.

Its a WD self encrypting drive. The yellow icon is supposed to be a padlock.

I've tried replacing breakout cables, changing PCI-E slots, and checking the temp in MegaCLI and MSM but there isn't a temp sensor on this card as far as I can see. The issue applies to all drives attached to the card, even the striped RAID0 set. I'll rig up a fan to push some air across the...

RAID level at the moment is just single drive RAID0 (because the card won't do JBOD), but I do have one RAID0 striped across 2 drives for testing. Direct connect 8 drives, 7 rotating, 1 SSD. Airflow looks decent.

Banging my head into the wall on this one. I have a 9260-8i card with numerous drives attached. Everything "works" fine but I have throughput issues when transferring files. It ramps up to speed, and then down to zero and so on, and on. Any ideas? Running the latest firmware on the card...

3 days stable. When I get some time I will try lowering the vcore a bit (or go back to offset voltage) and see if I can get it to run a bit cooler but it's been performing well!

I started the overclock going that route but couldn't get my memory at a decent speed. The 5670 allows use of the 24x turbo multiplier on all cores so 24x175 was also stable for a 4.2 overclock but memory was only running at 1403 and I couldn't get the QPI speed up higher than ~3000 without...

Was able to find the sweet spot for my setup. 200 bclk 20 multi 1.35v vcore 1.35 vtt 1600mhz RAM 3600 uncore All other voltages at stock. I could probably try lowering the vcore and vtt next but why mess with a good thing. Temps at idle are about 30-35c and full load while running prime95...

This is primarily a Plex transcode server so no gaming.

Picked up a Xeon X5670 to replace my aging i7-920 and I'm stuck with getting the most out of this new chip. It's been a minute since I've overclocked an X58 system. Fractal Design Define R6 Asus P6X58D Premium X5670 CPU G.SKILL Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL 4GB x6 for a total of 24GB Corsair H150i...
