I work part-time for a major retailer for the time being while I complete my degree in computing. Last night I took my tablet & noticed that their public wi-fi is really badly configured (imo). While on the local public wi-fi I connected to the WAN IP which took me to a Zyxel 660 router (lol)...

So I realised I didn't have one of the cables to the board connected - it now boots fine so I'm guessing the H80 died... Thanks for all the help here, this forum is great :D

So I got an Intel fan in the post today (labelled i5-2320 LGA1155) I took the H80 off the board, along with the 2 Noctua F12's that were mounted on either side of the radiator. I attached the Intel fan connected to the header labelled CPU_fan; now when I try & boot it starts for a second or 2...

I've ordered an Intel stock cooler on eBay to test - thanks for all the help :)

Yes its definitely connected to a molex connector...

So the two radiator fans are connected to the heat sink, the cable from that is connected to the CPU fan header

The radiator fans are spinning..

I am getting an error on the BIOS screen saying CPU fan error, press f1 for set up. I noticed in the set up that the fan speed shows 'n/a'. I tried rebooting and got the same error as well as an overtemp error. I took the fan off an reseated it but it didn't help.. Note the fan looks like its...

A bit of Googling shows people with similar problems; writing a support ticket to OCZ now Thanks for all your help drescherjm :cool:

Do you have any idea how it got locked?

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo hdparm -I /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: ATA device, with non-removable media Model Number: OCZ-VERTEX450 Serial Number: OCZ-57V17A23R739NJ86 Firmware Revision: 1.0 Transport: Serial, ATA8-AST, SATA 1.0a, SATA II...

Is there anything else I could try here?

I'm booting from a live CD..

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls -al /dev/sd? brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Feb 20 20:49 /dev/sda brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 Feb 20 20:49 /dev/sdb brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 64 Feb 20 20:49 /dev/sde I don't get an output for dmesg | grep Attached

Here's the output: sda is a 2TB data disk sde is a 160GB disk I've used to reinstall Win7 on the SSD isn't showing?

Edit: I'll boot into the live disk again, hold on...

fdisk only shows the 2 other disks attached to my system, the OCZ isn't listed?

What do you mean check my commands? What should I be checking in BIOS / hardware config? Note that one day it was working, the next day I couldn't reinstall the OS - no BIOS settings were changed in between that time. I should also say that I tried resetting the BIOS defaults, which made no...

Could you be more specific to what commands I should use?

sudo fdisk -l doesn't show it, what commands should I use with hdparm?

So I rebooted into an Ubuntu live cd; I noticed the disk is showing up in the BIOS screen but when I look in GParted it's not listed?

When I switched my PC on yesterday I got an error - I can't remember the exact error - after I few tries I decided to reinstalling Windows 7, the disk was showing as unallocated space & I tried installing but got some other kind of error (maybe I/O) After some Googling on my phone I got a...

yea 2600k it ramps up to 1.288v @ 100% load

I bought 2 x Noctua NF-F12's & fitted them to the Corsair H70 rad in push/pull Idle temps are 27-34 but 100% load temps @ 4400GHz are pushing 89 deg - I'm baffled why people here say they get 70 deg under full load & mine is nearly 20 degrees hotter??? :(

Ok so I finally worked out what was going on - one side of the radiator was almost completely caked in dust... Cleaned it up & new I'm getting 30-35 deg idle temps. I now realise the stock fans aren't really up to scratch so I've ordered 4 x Noctua NF-F12's Thanks to everyone for all the...

Thanks for all the input... I reapplied thermal paste & reseated the cooler & now getting temps ranging from 38-70 at idle & 100% loads respectively

I have the H70 set to the slowest speed, even if I put it at the fastest it hardly makes a difference - say 5 deg??

I have speedstep on but I'm unsure what you mean about C States? At 5% load one pair of cores are around 39 deg, another pair 45 deg, 1600MHz @ 0.968v At 100% load (approx 1 min) one pair of cores are 85 deg, other pair 90 deg, 4000MHz @ 1.232v

I'm getting idle temps around 44 degrees, after watching some clips online with similar set ups idling around 28 I wonder why mine is so much hotter? My setup is: i7-2600k Asus P8Z68-V Mobo 16GB Ripjaws RAM Corsair H70 cooling Antec P180 case I'm only clocking to 4GHz now Is this running...

Thanks for this, like you say the 2 Intel ports are working :D Any idea where I can get drivers for the ASMedia ports? I did a quick Google but couldn't find anything...?

Hi guys, I moved to ESX 5.5 a few days ago after using 5.0 for nearly 2 years with no problems. Since upgrading (clean install) my SSD's connected to SATA3 ports aren't seen in the vSphere client - I also tried to 'add storage' but no joy :( My spec is: i7-2600 Fatal1ty Z68...

LOL, thank you for explaining in layman's terms!! It hadn't occurred to me to use one of those slots, I thought they were just for graphics :rolleyes: :D

I don't know exactly what you mean by wrong profile size but I don't have a slot which fits this card >> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161089492065?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

ie I bought a PCI-E thinking it would fit but no such joy :(

Hey thanks for reply - could you link me to quad port nic's that would fit that motherboard?? I keep getting ones that don't fit :(

Hi, I am looking for a quad port gigabit nic for my vSphere ESXi 5.0 host - I've bought a few nics in the past that haven't fitted (getting confused with the various PCI types...) Motherboard = Z68 Fatal1ty Gen 3 Any help greatly appreciated!! :cool:

I'm running ESXi with a USB 3.0 PCI passed through to a Server 2008 VM - I used this VM to backup all of my files onto a Seagate 3TB Expansion, which worked fine for 5 months + I had to reinstall ESXi & various VM's - now I have it passed though but Windows doesn't recognise the drive...

Thanks QHalo, would that Adaptec card do all I want (ie SSD caching)??

Could anyone tell me the impact in relation to loss of data - in the event of a power cut - using SSD caching without a battery backup?

Hi guys, I haven't used this forum much but was hoping for some advice / experience from anyone who might see this... I built an ESXi whitebox back in March based loosely on Tinkertry's I am now at the point where I would like to get a RAID card - I would like something affordable...
