    FYI from Corsair running on DS3

    I talked with Corsair tech support. I have PC6400C4 2x1 Ram and even though the ram voltage says 1.9 and the board 1.8v he told me to run it at 2.1 volt to avoid any issues. Though I would share the info with any new builders looking to build a conroe/DS3 system.

    I have taken the 7950 out and resealed it a few times already. I'm not positive it is the card at all. The system has locked up loading windows a few times.

    E6300 & Gigabyte DS3 BIOS questions

    Cool, thanks. I also just went to the Gigabyte website and that seems fairly straight forward on how to flash the BIOS. The one thing I am still wondering is, can you set up the SATA drive as an IDE and thus limit the through put and handling of data with this board? If so, I think I may have...
