Regarding noise etc... I did this to my 1882-ix: "Had" to do something HW related again... - HWBOT forum Temps are 49C and 34C, both fans at 5V from what I recall.

Not sure if it's a good idea to bump such an old thread, but as it's at page 20... Any real need for ECC/Reg RAM for 84xx chips on SM 4P 1207 boards?

Sort of late for updates, but it seems I found a fix. I used Rufus to create a bootable GPT UEFI USB drive, and that was it :)

GTX970. My HDDs are not the reason. AFAIK not the Areca 1882ix, either, as it has the latest FW. Sound card is a TItanium HD.

Got busy today, too, bot I did try the F8 boot menu. Not a single UEFI option to be seen.

Trying this tomorrow, 3AM here. Got busy earlier this evening :)

All set to AHCI. For CSM settings check the album in the first post :) From what I can understand it should be all good, UEFI set first wherever I can see an UEFI option.

I can "deinitialize" it easily through diskpart, but of course a rebuild doesnt take long... delete array, choose the drives and re-create. There is no (U)EFI boot option for my BR/DVD-reader, though. Just "P6: ATAPI", as in the 2nd picture. No 2nd option...

So, I'm having some issues installing win 7 on a GPT partition. As my raid drive is 3TB I really cannot use MBR for this, so it's now initialized as GPT. I thought this would be easy, but it's not. I simply cannot figure out how to make it work - most times I see people mention multiple lines...

Just saying, if the 1691 v3 is unlocked, a 14c/28t daily driver at 4.5GHz is possible.

I thought it was the same deal with the 1680v2? I was looking for info on it all over the web back when the v2's were released, and all I found was indeed a couple of webshops, and nothing on ebay, either.

1680v2 is an 8 core. There are even a few on ebay as we speak - but at $1k, why bother :p maybe for science+ :D What we really need is someone with too much money who can buy this and give it a shot...

Anyone tried current Areca drivers on win 10? :)

Is that even a question? The stock cooler doesn't shine if you want reasonable temps and silence in a regular desktop setup. It was sort of loud on my bench desk, even... I'm guessing the fan would spin up even further if it was 30-40C hotter, stuck between a pair of GPUs in my daily driver.

Swapped the wtock cooler for a pair of VF700-Cu's - images here, as I can't see any attachment options on this forum (???): http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?t=131388 I'm guessing it would be safer to just get the dremel out of the closet and cut a few mm off of the fin-base on the left...
