Little story, bought a E8500 had MSi P6N SLi Fi, to get the CPU to work I would have had to mail the MB back to MSi.
Instead I bought eVga 750i SLi FTW MB and just went to town from there, I only have one problem.
Its only seeing 1 HD when 3 are installed. Is it possible that 3 of the 4 Sata ports are screwed or am I missing something here.
Here are the parts
3 x 320 WD Cavier SE HD
E8500
8g Patriot DDR2 800
Thermaltake toughpower 700w
eVga 8800gt
I am getting FF on the read out and with the one HD installed it boots and runs fine, with a little tweaking I have the CPU running at 3.8g with out a voltage adjustment but it seems strong so I think I can easily hit the 4ghz mark.
Any hey idiot, your doing it wrong or the MB is done information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. At this point I am tired and going to bed. Will check back tomorrow while I am at work.
