Sorry to necro an old thread - interested to see if people have had any luck with 4-6TB HDDs on this Controller. Looking if I should upgrade or if my trusty old AOC-USAS2-L8e will kick on :)

Would love to hear back from others with their input :).

Thanks so much for the reply :) - I'm seeing that SnapRAID is a good option without the hassle of completely relearning, rebuilding and alike that comes with ZFS. I'll need to look at more closely at SnapRAID vs FlexRAID to see if I should just stick with what I have after I add more drives...

It's been a few years since I stuck my head in here after the fantastic help I had building my own NAS (http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1546329) - its still going strong but I have unfortunately run out of space haha! My Setup: CPU: Intel Quad-Core Xeon X3440 2.53 GHz, 8MB Cache, 2.5...

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I've had some time (and saved up a bit of $) to look at some options in regards to updating my F&P Server at home. This seems to still be a major concern of mine, however looking on the Supermicro website, there hasn't been a great load of updates to the 1156...

Think I'll end up going with the Sapphire Radeon HD7970 3GB OC Edition with Boost if I hear back from a few of you that its a good card. In regards to the SSD - I currently have two options: 1. Samsung 256GB SSD 840BW Pro SATA3 2.5 - $259AUD 2. OCZ 256G Vector Series SSD - $275AUD I'm leaning...

Thanks for the quick replies :). Here in Australia its currently looking like my local PC store is doing a deal on the Sapphire Radeon HD7970 3GB OC Edition with Boost for only AUD $399 (USD $412) - it seems that this can also be overclocked nicely and is cool from the reviews I've read. I've...

With the release of Crysis 3, I figured it was time to visit [H] and seek the advice of the Gaming/PC Gurus! Please find below my specs: CPU: Intel 2600k (Clocked to 4.5GHz) CPU Cooling: Noctua NH-U12P SE2 MB: ASUS P8P67 Pro RAM: 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws-XL 1600Mhz SSD: 60GB OCZ Vertex 2...

Just spent the last 2 hours running MemTest - everything passed ><: Also took another short video of 2 green blinking lights - one on the SuperMicro AOC-USAS2-L8e and the other on the Supermicro X8SIA-F - not sure if this helps: http://img585.imageshack.us/i/2dd.mp4/ EDIT: Also...

Hmm - it was brand new RAM when purchased. Is there a way to confirm this? I haven't Overclocked or touched BIOS options. Keep suggestions rolling in - anything else I can provide you with to help?

Indeed I have. Should of mentioned I've had this beep since I built this Server over 8 months ago. Used to happen maybe once every few days, but as I mentioned this is happened 2-3 times an hour now.

Good evening guys - have a weird one for you :). My setup: CPU: Intel Quad-Core Xeon X3440 2.53 GHz, 8MB Cache, 2.5 GT/Sec, Socket LGA 1156 MB: Supermicro X8SIA-F RAM: Kingston KVR1333D3E9SK2/4G 2x2GB 1333MHz DDR3 ECC Reg CL9 DIMM PSU:Corsair AX-850 Controller: SuperMicro AOC-USAS2-L8e...

Let me know how you go re-Manual testing - would be interested. Would it be possible for you to paste your settings currently for you're 4.5GHz? In regards to AC - negative - doesn't reach my 'Computer Den' haha - I'll take a look at the A70 - but would like to save some $ :).

As stated above, was hitting 70-80c under Prime for 2-4hours (that was back on my B2, haven't tested with my new thermal paste + B3 Motherboard but doubt things would of changed too much). I might do a test tonight and update this here - I'm happy where I am atm with the above settings - I...

Would you say giving an Offset approach a go? Or using Manually and slightly rising to say 1.3Volts while lowering LLC? Still not 100% sure what LLC is doing and if it is bad to set to Ultra High. As mentioned I do live in Australia so my room temperature is like 28c - playing Crysis 2...

Would having Load-Line Calibration set to Ultra High actually be causing my board any damage/overstress? I'm stable @ 4.5GHz with 1.28volts - only want to start fiddling again if I'm actually hurting things though haha.

I was under the impression - or what I read about originally atleast when I first got my 2600k, that over 1.3-1.4 was dangerous - thus why I decided to stick to: AI Overclock Tuner: Manual BLCK Freq: 100.00 Turbo Ratio: By All Cores (OS Adjust) By All Cores: 45 Internal PLL OverVoltage...

Currently sitting with a 4.5GHz OC - Prime Stable - Reaches 75-80c under load - but down-under my ambient temperatures are much higher then you US folk haha :). AI Overclock Tuner: Manual BLCK Freq: 100.00 Turbo Ratio: By All Cores (OS Adjust) By All Cores: 45 Internal PLL OverVoltage...

Deflated lol... Back to square #1

Oh wow - you might be a lifesaver! I do indeed have W2K8 R2 as Host, will try as soon as I get home tonight - this is through the Control Panel > Device Manager, or meaning within VMWare when selecting Hardware for each Guest OS? Cheers, VD

Currently have a Supermicro X8SIA-F in my File Server at home, everything works fantastically but when running either VMWare or Virtualbox its noticeably 'sluggish' - I'm assuming this is due to only have on-board Matrox G200eW 16MB DDR2, but figured I would ask the Gurus if they had any...

News for Australia?

Any news for Australia as of yet in regards to Advanced RMA?

Can you post your settings mate? I'm running around the same VCore (1.28) but my temps are worse, I don't know if its hot here or bad 2600k batch.

Did some more fiddling 2nite and got the following a little lower temperatures with the following: AI Tweaker: AI Overclock Tuner - Manual BCLK/PEG Frequency - 100 Turbo Frequncy - Enabled By All Cores (Can Adjust In OS) Internal PPL Overvoltage - Auto Turbo Ratio - 45 Memory Frequency -...

Just spent the night reading through a number of threads/articles online and finally took the dive and tried my hand at OC'ing. This was after I re-applied my Noctua TIM with a new spread method to ensure lowest temps. I started out at 4GHz, but decided to try for a stable 4.5GHz 24/7 OC...

I was looking into this IC Diamond stuff until I read the reports about it taking off the CPU Details/Polishing effect. Now looking into Shin-Etsu but its BLOODY rare. Currently using the stock Noctua TIM and worried about my 32-24 idle temps on my STOCK 2600k - it is bloody hot here in...

As mentioned preiovusly, how is ASUS dealing with non-US residents? I live in Australia and do not want to entail any downtime due to the shipping of my old board back, then a new one to me etc.

Bumping for justice.

Would be helpful if I posted link.. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/IC-Diamond-7-Carat-CPU-Thermal-Paste-Grease-Compound-/110616243020?pt=AU_Components&hash=item19c13deb4c

This is the stuff correct? I'll have to do an Ebay as this stuff seems rare down under in Oz ><

Would love to know the outcome, if I can simply walk into the store, exchange for the Z68 when its available and pay the difference - that will be service!

Manual is effectively the same as manual aye? XMP Profiles just take the worry out for those less experienced with setting the timings manually?

I'm currently in Australia, were our temperature is like 25-32 outside - more like 30-35 in my house by the time I get home (closed up all day, takes air-con time to get around house etc). I'm currently running a stock (non-OC) Intel 2600k with a UH-P12 SE2 (Push/Pull) in my Cooler Master...

I am currently using the NH-P12 SE2 and ASUS P67 Pro and tbh am not happy with the current temperatures either, but I believe thats more due to the fact that here in Australia its currently like a volcano. My temps will go between 36-41 while playing WoW. What are you're temps like? Posted via...

Thought thats why they brought out the Ripjaws-XL >< - guess manually timing it to what is written on the package is the best way to do it?

Cheers for that Tokey - I think I might do the same, but as you did - sub in a lower VCore value. The difference between setting XMP for my RAM vs. Manually timings is?

Been reading through that post, and a number of others - some good advice there. Just seems that his suggestion of 1.415/1.425 is a little high when the MAX VCore has been suggested to be 1.5, and the fact that VCore values fluctuate, I would be scared to go over 1.4 myself. I'm wondering what...

Have just recently built a new system based around the new Intel 2600k, and re-used my HAF-932 for the time being as it served me exceptionally well through my C2D days. Specifications: CPU: Intel 2600k MB: ASUS P8P67 Pro RAM: 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws-XL SSD: 60GB OCZ Vertex 2 Extended...
