How to turn off NCQ

[imported_Shaq]

I just got the OEM version and I saw reviews of it being faster with NCQ off. How do you turn it off or is it off by default? The jumpers do not seem to change this setting.

Thanks

Check the properties for the IDE/SATA controllers in Device Manager, may/should be an option for disable/enable command queuing. This may require that you have the nvidia IDE drivers installed though.

You can also set your mainboard's SATA port to run in "IDE mode" instead of native SATA mode. No command queuing, no hot swap, but otherwise I think no real difference.
