I have overclocked my system, but have not done anything with the memory settings. My memory is G.Skill F3-12800CL9 which is made up of 8 sticks of 4GB at DDR3 1600.

I just started to have problems with BSOD when running my backups and when I did video editing (both memory intensive). The BSOD error said something about memory, so I did a Memtest. I ran it for several hours and it showed hundreds of thousands of errors. Since I have 8 sticks, what is the...

I just re-installed Win7-64 to my computer that has an Areca 1882i-12-4G raid card. I think I should have added the driver during install, but forgot. Is there a way to do that now? If it makes a huge difference, I may just start over and add the driver during Win install. But for now, it is...

I am having a problem with some website management. I have a hosting company that holds my domain name and a hosting package, which I only use for email. I also use an admin company that ultimately hosts my website. I can set my settings according to the hosting company suggestions and my...

I'm not worried about the budget - to a degree. I think the Hanns-g cost about $250. I would not be opposed to spending a bit more. I use it mostly for video editing. I have Adobe's Master Collection CS6 and use Premiere Pro the most. Edit: OK, I just looked at the Dell and that's more...

I have this display LINK, but it was damaged during a company paid move from Nashville to Houston. In fact, it has what looks like a cepia-looking band at the top edge of the display. Any idea what caused this? A hard blow, or rough handling? Regardless, I need to replace the display and...

I just moved into an apartment complex and am having trouble with wifi reception. The complex only has wireless and it is almost unusable. I can't move because my company is paying part of the rent. I complained and the manager let me try my computer in two other apartments, but they did not...

Not sure I want to go down the flexraid path at the moment. The drive will be used for storage, and I definitely want a good backup program. I have been looking at Shadow Protect, but have not asked if it will recognize a GPT raid volume.

I would like to create a raid0 set with 2 each 2TB drives and have the new volume be the full 4TB size (actual size is 3.7TB). When I do that, I need to choose either MBR mode or GPT mode in disk management. Since MBR mode creates 2 volumes and GPT mode creates one large volume, is the GPT...

Thanks so much. This was the type of info I was looking for. Now I am torn between two cards: LSI 9265 with FastPath Areca 1882i with 4GB cache Looks like the LSI is about $200 cheaper. I am leaning toward the Areca because I'll be using spinners for a while. Do you think there will be...

Hi OldHippie. I have seen your comments about the LSI 9265/Fastpath and have been thinking of going with that setup for some time and am aware of the price, but have a few questions: 1) Will this work with HDD's? I have 4 now, but will be upgrading to SSD's in the future. 2) Where can I go...

I left a question for LSI tech support. I got an automated response that I would get an answer in 48 hours. It has been two times that and still no answer. I also left a similar question for Areca tech support and got an answer in about 5 hours. In fact, I got a different person that...

I left a question for LSI technical support. I will see: 1) if they even answer 2) if they have tested this combination 3) if it's compatible

I was hoping I wouldn't have to be the guinea pig as the card plus drives adds up to a large sum.

Anybody have this combination? Also, is there an Areca card that is equal to this in performance (and is compatible with the P9X79 Pro MB) ?

I have the P9X79 Pro motherboard and would like to add this card, but would like to know if it's compatible or if someone has tried this combination.

How does this compare to a LSI-9265? It should work using HDD's as well as SSD's, correct?

I have just read a post on another forum that suggests the LSI cards take a long time to boot. Is this correct? I may change my mind about these then.

I like to run benchmarks and do the comparisons. In a few weeks, when I get my tax refund, I will be ordering the controller and a few more hard drives. Once I get that set up with 4 each 1TB drives, I would like to run some comparsions. The comparisons would be run using the different...

This sounds exactly like what happened to me - and I have the exact same motherboard and CPU. Here is my thread My computer would cylce - on, then off, on, then off, etc. At first I thought it was a PS, so I bought a new one. That was not it. Next I played with memory. That was not it. I...

OK, so I have decided the dynamic array is not a good idea, so want to convert back to 2 basic drives. Now I cannot convert it back. In computer management it shows as one dynamic drive. There is no choice to convert back to basic. I even downloaded a program called Partition Wizard Home -...

I know these cards can be expensive, but I am willing to spend a couple hundred dollars for one that I can use to add 2 hard drives for Raid0 and eventually 2 SSD's also in Raid0. I have looked at some at Newegg and others, but am not sure which ones come with a good recommendation.

Yes, uninstalling it in device manager did the trick.

I was in Computer Management > Disk Management and noticed my normal CD/DVD drive, but there is a second one listed. If I click on properties, the only thing that gives me a hint as to what it is, says "Magic ISO Virtual Drive". How can I get rid of it? I may have used a freeware at one time...

I bought an H100 about a month ago for a new build and it works quite well. In fact, this is one of the best investments I have made. My S/N is 11359483, so appears to be made after the bad batch mentioned.

cisco_guy - I got the LG drive and it works perfectly. My old Optiarc does not work no matter where I plug it into. That means it is either dead or not compatible because of the Lightscribe. Thanks for the help.

I put them back. However, I just thought of something else to try. That is, I didn't try the good drive with PCB from the bad drive. That may tell me if the problem with the bad drive is due to the platters or the PCB.

If by this you mean the screen that shows when hitting F8 - alternate boot device: No, it does not show up. I did recall that I have an old XP machine of mine that has a CD burner in it. I may try to swap these two drives this weekend to see what happens. If that doesn't work, I will opt for...

Overview.jpg - this is the first screen shot. USB.JPG - this is the first item - it is the USB stick. sil-revo.jpg - this is the second icon. It's an OCZ Revodrive.

I do have a good 2TB WD drive that I swapped out the PCB. When I put the drive (HDD with good PCB) into the system, it starts to boot, but stops after the four colors come together (win7-64). I can hear the drive - it's going click-click,,,click-click and then won't boot. I guess the only...

Not sure what you mean by EZ page. Is this the bios screens? My computer now has brand new hardware - included in this list is: Corsair AX850 Asus P9X79 Pro MB i7 3930K Corsair H100 cooler 12 GB of OCZ DDR3-1600 memory - this is not new. The CD drive is a Sony Optiarc Lightscribe

I will try swapping the PCB from the good drive to the dead drive this weekend when I get back home. Do you think the PCB from the good drive (1TB) will work on the 2TB drive?

I actually did all that, but didn't mention it. I am thinking I may have had an electrical surge that took out my MB and the 2drives. Is there Software that can retrieve the data if the drive is not even seen in the bios?

I have 2 HDD's that have crashed. Here is what happened: My computer crashed - it was a X58 MB that failed. Attached were 4 HHD's. I built a new computer based on X79. Of the four HHD's, two work fine, the other two are dead. The dead ones do not show up in the bios and do not show up at...

I was able to load a Windows install with SP1 onto a USB stick and was able to install Win7-64bit. I put my two raid drives onto the Marvel controller, so loaded the Marvel drivers. The problem now is that I cannot access my CD drive at all. The CD drive is a Sony Optiarc and is now not seen...

The change in the bios fixed the KB/mouse problem. The next thing is the CD drive. Again, it shows up in the bios, but will not boot the Windows install CD. I have tried connecting it in all the SATA connections on the MB. I don't see anything in the bios, although, as was already pointed...

My case, a Coolermaster ATCS 840 has the following fans: 1) one 230mm fan at the bottom front pulling air in towards the drive bays. 2) 2 each 120mm fans located on the other side of the drive bays pulling air from the drive bays toward the motherboard. 3) a 120mm fan blowing air out of the...
