Your new incarnation might not OC either, I would get the Asrock and see what results there are then, definitely a better board.
Then I would make a decision of hardware upgrades depending on the results, 3 SSD in raid 0 is unnecessary, I used to raid them 2 x 256 940 pro with WD raptors in...
A Voodoo 5 5500, I had one during the civil war, huge it was. 8800 ultra and 8800GTX (G80) were fantastic in their time, big sucka's before it was fashionable. However they could handle all that was thrown at them, 8800GT (G92) could not compare. They ran very hot, I think I had 11 Fans in a big...
Great board, I think I had P5K black premium, with a xeon 3210 quad. Purchased 2 of them eventually, oc'd from 2.13 stock to 3.6(normal OC), went to close to 4ghz but not totally stable there.
I'd give the 25.00 ebay deal a shot.
Do you have the Realtek® ALC892 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC sound drivers installed?
Depending on if its a LX, V, V-Pro, deluxe, etc there are different sound chips, the LX has the Realtek® ALC887 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC *4.
On the menu there are settings that can...
My condolences, I was removing a water block off the same motherboard and the screwdriver slipped, I cut the traces that were part of the voltage regulation traces, instant massive over-voltage to cpu.
I used the mobo for a collage on my wall now......
8800GTX was a beast for a long time.........tears in my eyes.....I still remember the day it moved out to a new home.....not for love ...but for Money.:(
Yeah I'm done with asus, have been using their motherboards and/or graphics cards for years, no more. 2 x Bad RMA experience with motherboards turned me. Purchased another Asrock instead, told them keep the board. Their sending it back anyway . Lousy Cx service.
Good article, I recently changed out power supplies, when I booted back up(to a rig with 1ssd in achi mode, no joy, used to have 2 ssd in raid 0, now it was working in achi prior to the switchout, I reset the bios back to raid and all is well. Go figure I am not running a raid array anymore.
I have been purchasing Asus Mobos for years and have been lucky, I am about to purchase another Motherboard for a new build, and a monitor to go with it, both Asus, I think now I will look elsewhere, it's not like there's a shortage of manufacturers. ;)
I Still love this card, although it's getting long in tooth. I am using dual Dell1908FP monitors at 1280 x 1024 resolution so most games, even newer ones I can max out the detail. It has not had a hiccup in 3.5 years now.
I plan on purchasing 2 24" monitors so I will be using higher resolutions...
