    ASUS Sabertooth X79 - Recognize SSD not HDD

    The drive has a 6Gb/s interface though...? Maybe I am being pedantic about being able to remove the drives... but its annoying to have to check everything when you just want to remove the thumbdrive plugged in the front, and also opens the opportunity to accidentally remove the HDD. RSTe...

    i7-3930K - Getting full details of chip (C1/C2?)

    Enabled and boots fine. Unsure how else to complete test without going into full blown ESX install, but I think with all this evidence we can safely conclude its C2. Thanks!

    ASUS Sabertooth X79 - Recognize SSD not HDD

    Thank you for you posts. This is so frustrating. SSD Caching is just a way of babysitting me to use the drives exactly how I want (SSD for windows+freq accessed stuff, HDD for storage). So stuff it. All I want is SSD in a 6Gb/s port (It is in SATA6G_E1), HDD in 6Gb/s port (It is in SATA6G_E2 -...

    i7-3930K - Getting full details of chip (C1/C2?)

    Yes. I need VT-d. In the [intel] link I posted I can see that SR0KY is linked to C2. It stands to reason I can trust the output from HWinfo/CPU-Z then... Strange that the motherboard reports incorrectly...

    i7-3930K - Getting full details of chip (C1/C2?)

    Hi all, I am trying to confirm the type of i7-3930K chip I have received. I have a Sabertooth X79 motherboard (bios 3102). When I boot the BIOS is shows stepping C1... but CPU-Z and HWinfo both report as newer C2... So which can be trusted? CPU-Z/HWinfo trusted above what the BIOS is...

    ASUS Sabertooth X79 - Recognize SSD not HDD

    Ok - understood about the 3TB drive. Two 1.5 is an option, but it's taking up space (where bigger drives could be...) My plan was to just have SSD for primary drive and the other drive HDD for storage, so i'm a little confused why you say my plan is old school. When I came to plug in the SSD...

    help with my big new upgrade masterplans

    Thank you very much for your advice, but ignoring my exact requirements (still quite unsure but the at least two vm's are sharepoint builds which can require a fair amount of memory), for the time being I would still like to continue with the 3930K build: I have changed a little bit and removed...
