    Gigabyte B250-HD3P gives me scrambled POST and hangs

    No dedicated mining mode. But I do/did run the PCIe ports at gen1. And latelyt tried gen2 and gen3, but as long as PCIEX1_2 is in use with some of the other ports at the same time it's borking. I haven't had time the last week to test more, had to let it go for a while to stay sane ;-)

    Gigabyte B250-HD3P gives me scrambled POST and hangs

    Yes they are powered. The thing is I've experienced it on another rig with the same motherboard too, so different risers. I will try an older bios and also do a new check of the risers..

    Gigabyte B250-HD3P gives me scrambled POST and hangs

    I'm tending to the mainboard being defect. If I boot with a gfx in the second PCI-e x1 slot Windows boots. If I add a second gfx to the main PCI-e slot for GFX (connected to the CPU) it gets scrambled. If I connect 4 gfx to all PCIe slots except the cpu-connected (main) it works. so PCIEX16_1...

    Gigabyte B250-HD3P gives me scrambled POST and hangs

    I've got a Gigabyte B250-HD3P and playing around with it for some amateur ethereum mining with up to five AMD RX480 cards. The stability has been on and off from time to times, but I've never experienced what I suddenly see now: This seems to happen when I have three or more cards installed...

    Raid5 settings vanishes :(

    I had a problem with the performance of my Raid-5 setup (thread here), but figured that out. My problem now is that when I reboot my Raid-5 setup is lost (A8N-SLI with Si3114 onboard chip with 4 SATA drives). If I configure a Raid-0 setup, everything is fine. Reboots and all is good. Raid-5 =...

    [Solved] Does Sil3114 in RAID-5 mode realy suck this much?

    True :( And it looks like I've got another problem.. after a reboot the raid5 settings was lost somehow *confused*. Well well.. I'll figure this out too I guess.

    [Solved] Does Sil3114 in RAID-5 mode realy suck this much?

    Peter/Madwand1 - well.. I know, and it's more than enough.. I'm mostly going to store MP3, Pictures and Videos on this array. But yes, the writespeed is not that good. Unpacking a DVD ISO from rar files using 7-zip to my stand alone WDC250 disk (on nvidia controller) goes about 20MB/s, while...

    [Solved] Does Sil3114 in RAID-5 mode realy suck this much?

    Woooohaaaa :D It took almost 5 hours to build the raid-5. And now the speed test showed a result constantly between 90 and 105MB/s. I'm happy again!

    [Solved] Does Sil3114 in RAID-5 mode realy suck this much?

    Just as I post a problem I figure out/remember the solution! A RAID-5 array needs time to build. And firing up the 'task summary' for Silicon Image SATARAID5 GUI application just told me I was right: 3 Create RAID Group Raid Group 0 Active 10 16 % 9/11/06 11:25:54 PM 03:34:26 The...

    [Solved] Does Sil3114 in RAID-5 mode realy suck this much?

    Hardware: AMD64 X2 4200+ 1GB RAM Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe WDC Raptor 74 housing Windows XP SP2 4xWDC250GB connected to the Sil3114 controller on mainboard. In RAID-0 (all 4 drives) HD Tach 3 gives med a Sequential Read Speed between 90 and 120MB/s all over the "disk". Now, making it a RAID-5...

    Which wiki should I choose?

    Well, I'm first looking to use it to have a (easy) place to store documents & solutions etc at work. This could be hints, tips, how-to, solutions etc... I've heared of tikiwiki, phpwiki and usemode wiki, moin moin I've never heared of.. I will look into those which are mentioned.. anyone else?

    Which wiki should I choose?

    Hi, I'm looking for a wiki implementation, but I'm just lost in the jungle.. there is just too many of them to check all of them (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiEngines). Which would you recommend, and why?

    Linux Software RAID-5 trouble/degraded performance

    I've got a Pentium III 667MHz 256MB RAM and 3 WD800 (80GB Western Digital disks hda/b/d) with a CD-ROM as hdc. I installed TSL 2.1 (Trustix Secure Linux) on this box and configured it with a single /boot partition (hda 128MB), two swap (hdb&hdd 128MB), three 128MB sw-raid partitions for /tmp and...

    AOpen AK97D-400VN + Connect3D Radeon 9600 = trouble?

    It was a the mainboard.. the supportguys where I bought the stuff said the AOpen motherboard was a bad board all together.. I ended up with a KT400.. but guess you probably should go for a KT600 or something.. at least not the same two components I had trouble with... The Radeon 9600 worked...

    AOpen AK97D-400VN + Connect3D Radeon 9600 = trouble?

    Ok. I'll have it checked tomorrow anyway. BTW, the PSU is 350W, but only 200W in the XPC, so that shouldn't be a problem..
