ASUS X99-E WS Motherboard

I wish to extend my thanks to those who took the time to read my post and respond. I sure does look like the eSATA ports on the X99-E WS board are of the ASMedia family of controllers that support Port Multiplication. Best regards to everyone. TheBeagle

ASUS X99-E WS Motherboard

I'm in the market for a new 8-core board. I'm presently running an ASUS x79 WS board, but since I do a lot of encoding and recoding, the X99-E boards have my eye. I've studied all the available specs for the new ASUS X99-E WS board, but one thing I can't determine is whether or not the...

ASUS P9X79 Deluxe DIPM Driver Is Missing?

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who responded. Mr. DW, your suggestion appears to solve the problem. I removed the two mechanical SATA drives from the Intel ports and reconfigured the on-board controller to AHCI. That "solved" the Intel Toolbox software problem, and the system fully sees the 520...

ASUS P9X79 Deluxe DIPM Driver Is Missing?

Good Evening Everyone, I finally sprang for a new build consisting of an ASUS P9X79 Deluxe board, an Intel i7-3930 hex-core, 32GB of 2133 Memory, and an Intel 520 (Cherryville) 240GB SSD. The rig runs just fine @ a modest 4500MHz OC. However, the Intel SSD Toolbox software (Ver. 3.03)...

Is There Going To Be A Rev 2.0 for X79 Boards?

It's time for me to once again consider a new build, and I want to utilize a Socket 2011 board. However, when I look at the specs for the new Socket 1155 X77 boards and compare them to the existing X79 boards, I see a possible window of improvement for the present X79 chipset boards. This...

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 (Rev. 2.0)

Good Morning Everyone, It seems that the Gremlins of Gigabyte must have heard that I was considering an ASUS Rampage Extreme III for my new build and therefore made the Rev. 2.0 magically appear at my local distributor. Yesterday afternoon I got my hands on the new Rev. 2.0 board and it...

If you check around, I believe you will do just about as well on price with an Intel 930 instead of the 920, and it will give you a higher clock rate and a better OC solution. Best regards. TheBeagle

Do Intel MLC SSDs support the new TRIM command?

I believe that all this negative tone bantering is really counter-productive. Perhaps Rodney King said it best (shortly after he got a serious ass-whooping from the California cops), when he is quoted as having remarked, "Can't we all just get along?" Think about it.
