    DMI and SOC

    Hi guys, I've been googling around for a while now trying to find out about SOC (System-on-a-chip) Looks like the new skylake chips have 4 lanes of DMI access from the PCH to the cpu/ram. So... If you want to load data from an M.2 Card or a PCI-E raid card, and load it into ram, youre limited...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Yea there's definitely adhesive in addition to the white plastic pegs, I've tried removing the pins but the HS is stuck fast to the chipsets below. applying a small amount of torsion and the hs will rotate ever so slightly (not mechanically fixed [screws]) so it seems like an adhesive of some...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Yea that's definitely going to be the easier solution. I'll do just that if the temps aren't ideal when I get some new SSDs to put this card under a bit more load. I don't have a whole ton of airflow where the card is mounted but so far its not running too too hot with just 2 SSD raid members...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Wow awesome info thanks! Yea I bought two crappy $6 chipset heatsinks with little fans that should be marginally better than the stock HS. Given that the ROC doesnt have conventional mounts, I think i'll just keep an eye on the temps and use the stock HS if the temps stay under 60-70...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Yea no heat issues as yet. I had read that someone was saying these cards run hot, but it sounds like that may not be the case. I noticed the temps were a little high (55 degrees Celsius) I'll try it again under load and see how it is with the stock HS Interesting suggestion with the hair...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    So, I'd ordered some replacement chipset coolers for the ARC-1883ix-12 I bought, I unseated the 4 chipset mounting pins however the factory heatsink appears to be adhesed to the card? I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to aftermarket cooling for cards like this, has anyone else tried removing...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Is it possible it only needs 2x link width with the current raid array on the 1883? If more lanes were needed maybe the card would use more? Noob answer but just trying to be helpful

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    I own an ARC-1231ml-4G - I had purchased a 3rd party 4G DDR2 stick for it when I originally got the card. Its been a few years but I recall there being some back-and-forth about whether or not the card supported 4G. I'm just wondering if the ARC-1883ix-8G I just purchased might also support a...
