[dnoam]

after a dissapointing run with the corsaair hydro 100 as i had to replace 2 units i decided to go for an air cooling solution but i run into space issue , i am using the 1st pci-e slot as i am installing 3 cards and i am using 16 gb of memory so the b2 and d2 are used.as a result i am remaining with a bit small place to place on of those huge 3 fans cooler , any idea for a good solution will be welcomed.thanks

So you get into BIOS.
You can press F5 and enter.
Then when you press F10 it fails.


Remove your SLi graphic cards. Take one card out and only boot with one for now. Maybe your PSU is not happy.

Change your BIOS - use the switch on the left hand side of the motherboard to change BIOS chips. You will see the orange light jump from one place to another place about 3 cm's apart.

Once you have done that. Do the steps I posted

Lets take this in small steps.
Power your system completely down.
Press the clear CMOS button at the back of the board, In/Out panel.
Power up.
Del to enter BIOS, or follow the prompt if your system has failed an overclock.
Once in BIOS F5 and enter.
F10 and enter.
You are now in default settings.
Does your system boot into OS

Hi my friend.

Ok so you have your board cool and happy.

You have your BIOS set at default settings. Fail safe

Now connect your SSD to the Intel SATA ports (6G/bs) and install OS.

If you OS is installed via DVD put your DVD into the Marvell ports. Look in your user manual if you are not sure which ports are which.



I think all will be good now.

[dnoam]

thanks again , i will come back to you (do not worry 😉 ) but now i have to work ..................

[dnoam]

Hi , i told you i will be back
now the funny stuff , 2 out of 3 sata 6 are recognized and the sata 3 which is the optical drive is not , ? all is working the optical drive is on and the 3rd disk sata 6 is also on but no show(this is scary stuff .......)

[HiVizMan]

Nope not at all scary. And as it should be really, I am correct in thinking you have AHCI enabled.


All that matters to you is that you see them in your OS when you wish to use them.

it seems all is against me :mad:
1 can arrange the bios to boot from the ssd wher my windows instalation is
2. cannot seem to activate the network controler..........
(feeling like a baby but i never had so many issues, i guess it is for the young once)

[dnoam]

that is waht is scary , why i see them in windows and not on the ultras advance bios???????
