Raid And OCing

[phantom404]

Will Raid affect how much you can oc your processor. I have a 4800x2 and the highest i can go for it to boot into windows is 2.5 mhz. I tried 2.7 and it would post but wen it went to detect the raid it would just hang. So does raid affect ocing? If so how do you go from raid to non-raid. Just kill the raid bios and reformat the harddrives? Thanks

generally it shouldn't, but if your SATA ports are not locked, it will. Use ports 3 and 4 instead of 1 and 2.

Be very careful to use SATA3 and 4 on any nforce 3 or 4 motherboard when overclocking, as Leeper Messiah said. I nearly lost a lot of data using a RAID0 array on SATA1 and 2 and trying to overclock, though this would have been a problem even with a single drive. It's not any more dangerous for your data than overclocking with a single drive. I've had RAID arrays work fine overclocked on VIA, nvidia and SI conrollers and they never caused me to lower the overclock,
