Pyroflash Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Also, make sure, especially when you are hotplugging your drives that the signal cables(SATA) always go in before the power cables. That is another thing, make sure you are putting your power cable all the way in on your drive(s). I know when I built this system, the power cables took a lot of pressure to insert correctly, and they had no satisfying "click" to say that they were in there; so I just had to kind of play it by eye. Oh, and thanks for the info EtherealN, I heard a lot about in the tech news about the recall, but had no information that they had already formed a solution. I guess I was too interested in their new I7-990X(Still support triple channel RAM :)) to care much about the new 2k series chips(I don't like them going back to dual channel) :P Edited March 18, 2011 by Pyroflash If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.

So it's not that they are "going back", it's that they haven't released the "top-line" Sandy Bridge products yet. That said, 990X is overpriced crud for almost any application a consumer would use it for. If you play games (including ED simulators) as your main computer activity you are paying 5 times the price for identical or lower performance. Triple channel RAM isn't going to have any real impact on your game performance. Hell, in Metro 2033 the 1156 CPU 875K actually beats it, and that's old gen and dual-channel at the same time! :P http://techreport.com/articles.x/20486/4 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester

Looks like my CPU will still be rockin' it for at least a year to come :) EDIT: Ughh... I just realized that in a year I will have to replace almost everything inside my computer... Maybe I should have been Amish :P Edited March 19, 2011 by Pyroflash If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.

Panzertard Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 allright - good news that you were able to pinpoint it then. :) The mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open | The important thing is not to stop questioning
