They also reposted 1003 final but with a new date of 1/24/05...maybe they changed something with it. Hmm...gonna flash and see what's up. I was lookin at another forum and read that 1004 beta 1 still drops the maxtors.....oh well no luck.

Thanks mlc...good to know. My PSU comes back in on wednesday so I guess I'll find out whether or not I'll need to buy a tough single rail PS. I understand why people are having issues with the dual rail, but doesn't it seem ridiculous that PSUs like the Neopower are aimed at gamers yet don't...

You can run the Maxtors on the Silicon Image controller, they'll work fine with any bios. I've found though, for best performance, you should run the drives on NVraid controller using Bios 1002. The downside to that is ....yep, you guessed it, no overclock for you. It a choice you have to...

I posted this thread over in "what psu are you using w/a8n-sli". Of course it is just a small part of the problems that I'm experiening with this motherboard. Anyone using an Antec NeoPower experiencing any problems? I sent mine in on an RMA because I thought it might be bad after a Seagate...

Anyone using an Antec NeoPower experiencing any problems? I sent mine in on an RMA because I thought it might be bad after a Seagate SATA crapped out. This happened before I even moved the PSU into new system w/A8N. It was runnin a MSI Neo2 Platinum. After installing the PSU into new setup...
