    Restore RAID metadata?

    It would seem I spoke just a little too soon. With a little poking around I found a program called Raid Reconstructor, which did a reasonable job of detecting the proper configuration of my failed volume, and was able to output a "virtual image" file that other recovery software can read. I...

    Restore RAID metadata?

    Well, according to the experiment, there's no straightforward way to get the array back by going through the configuration utility. Redefining the array causes Windows to pick it up as an "unitialized" volume, and then it won't let you use it until you reformat it. It might be possible, with...

    Restore RAID metadata?

    Yeah, that would be a good idea. I was also thinking about just snagging a couple of cheap SATA drives and running some experiments of my own (i.e. define an array, put a few files on it, reset the disks in the array to non-RAID, recreate the array and see if I can recover the files), as the...

    Restore RAID metadata?

    Okay, so how do I "reconfigure" my array? The only options given to me in the management software are "Create RAID Volume", "Create RAID Volume from Existing HDD" (only works with a single HDD), and "Rescan for Plug and Play Devices". Inside the BIOS tool, the only available option is "Create...

    Restore RAID metadata?

    You mean, when the array is redefined it intentionally wipes out things like the file-allocation table (or whatever it is that NTFS uses to keep track of files/directories)? Or does it just overwrite whatever sectors were previously in use to store the RAID metadata?

    Restore RAID metadata?

    I'm currently running a RAID-5 with 4x 320 GB Seagate disks on an Asus P5B-Wifi/Deluxe (Intel P965/ICH8R chipset). A couple days ago when I restarted my system all 4 disks were reported by the controller as being "Offline". I checked the connections, and everything seemed fine, but even after...

    E6600 Overclocking Thread

    1201? When did that come out? The most recent BIOS I'm aware of is the 614 revision. Do you have a link to 1201?

    Unsure of what system would fit me better

    You won't find it on either of those, as it's almost certainly a model designed specifically for OEM users. Meaning that it will have a stripped-down feature set, possibly lower quality components in general, and in all likelihood absolutely zero overclocking support. Proprietary mainboards...

    E6300, E6400, E6600 & E6700--Comparison & Buying

    The E6300 and E6400 chips are both similarly specced, and given ideal conditions can overclock to similar levels, on average. However, the E6300 has a maximum multiplier of 7x, and the lowest available memory ratio on the Core 2 chips (so far) is 1:1. What this means is that to get an E6300...

    Is this a good OC?

    No, unless you want to clock higher. I recommended the slower settings since I figured you would probably be interested in seeing what the maximum possible speed of your chip was. If not, then just leave it as is. That means that you set the FSB speed before setting the memory speed. It...

    AMD CPU naming convention xxxx+ is it still valid?

    Why? Having a second core can come close to doubling performance under some situations, so if they really wanted to, AMD could have even marketed the 3800+ as a 6400+. Only bumping the performance rating 600 points for doubling the core count seems conservative, if anything, since basically...

    Is this a good OC?

    I think the official one is now 614. That one should be fine too.

    Is this a good OC?

    Indeed. One of the first things worth doing is flashing to either BIOS 609 or 614. After that is out of the way, you might try: 1. Set everything stock, this includes setting the FSB to 266 MHz. 2. Select the "DDR2-533" RAM speed. Go ahead and put your 2.1 RAM voltage back. 3. Set...

    E6600 Overclocking Thread

    Yes, EIST = SpeedStep, as far as I know. If you're running BIOS 614 (and I think also 609), then I think the EIST option no longer appears. I'm not sure, but it seems like the board disables it by default.

    E6600 Overclocking Thread

    You can try running it at a 1:1 ratio, that will give you a speed of DDR2-668, which is slower than specced. At that speed, you should be able to get some better timings on there. Have you manually set a vcore in the BIOS? Leaving it on auto when overclocking on the P5B can be a *big*...

    E6600 Overclocking Thread

    I tried higher voltage and looser timing on the bad RAM module, if that's what you mean. It failed memtest @ DDR2-533 CL5-5-5-15, 2.35V. This is in stark contrast to the other one, which passed an overnight run @ DDR2-973 CL4-4-4-12, 2.30V. If that's not a defective RAM module, I don't know...

    Intel Core 2 Quadro Kentsfield

    Is "Core 2 Quadro" really what it'll be called? It seems like that would be inviting nvidia to sue them, since they've had the "Quadro" line of workstation cards for some time now.

    Newb Question: Heat produced by CPU is the same in spite of its fan, right?

    I'd liken that more to putting the 100W bulb in a vat of liquid nitrogen...a household freezer wouldn't be sufficient to keep it that cold, I don't think. But anyways, yes, the colder you make something, the more efficiently it will conduct energy (to the point where in theory at absolute 0 you...

    Newb Question: Heat produced by CPU is the same in spite of its fan, right?

    Yes, liken it to sticking a 100W light-bulb in the freezer vs. sticking the same bulb in the refrigerator. In either case, it still generates 100W of heat, but the freezer can dissipate that more effectively, so the freezer bulb will be cooler to the touch.

    E6600 Overclocking Thread

    Do you have another graphics card you can test with? It's possible that the one you have is defective somehow. I'm pretty sure that if the system cannot initialize the graphics, it will fail to boot. Also, some graphics cards will very briefly show a screen at startup with various obscure...

    E6600 Overclocking Thread

    Hm...no idea what those numbers might be...can you get into the BIOS config at all? If so, you might try flashing to a new revision, and then making sure your SATA controller is set to RAID mode, and making sure your array is defined correctly, and so on. Also, if you insert a bootable CD...

    AMD 65nm and 45nm

    Not really, because the topic of this thread is the 65 nm chips (and the secific comment I was replying to was about having a 3800+ X2 running at 3.0 GHz...which is definitely a K8 model), which *are not* K8L initially (K8L is slated for mid/late 2007, if I remember it correctly). K8L may very...

    AMD 65nm and 45nm

    Why? Even the E6300/E6400's can generally do 3 GHz on average, and quite often more. I think that issue is kind of moot until AMD revises its architecture. You'd have to put a K8 at something like 3.0 GHz (or more) just to match the performance of an E6600 at stock. Factor in the fact...

    *** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

    I have a question for people with the P5B Deluxe who flashed to the 614 BIOS...can you access the EzFlash utility through the BIOS configuration? My system will freeze/crash whenever I try. I even tried setting everything to stock levels, and still no go, so I'm wondering if there's a bug in...

    Confused by reboots

    So I have a relatively new build, Conroe E6600 @ 3.5 GHz, 2 GB RAM @ DDR2-973, and Win XP Pro SP2 w/ all patches installed. The system seems to like to reboot itself when idle, though, and I haven't really been able to figure out why. It shouldn't be the overclock, as I left it running prime95...

    P5B\Deluxe owners: Great read

    Well, it seems fixed on my system, in fact I'm now running at 389x9, and lower settings within the 350 MHz to 400 MHz range are stable as well (and higher settings if I drop my multiplier...9x400 makes it pretty unhappy though). Before the BIOS flash, the system wouldn't even POST at these...

    P5B\Deluxe owners: Great read

    Interesting, I've seen that silly "strap" talk before, however all the information is deprecated as of the 609+ BIOS, which is correctly stable within the 350 to 400 MHz range.

    overclocking p5b deluxe + e6600

    Replacing the board because you can't overclock past 9x360? That doesn't really seem to make sense, unless there's something that's actually wrong with it. If you're unhappy with your overclock, the correct thing to replace is the CPU.

    Yes, get a pen (with a metal tip only) or a screwdriver or other such device, and locate the pins on the mainboard that are intended to be connected to the power switch, and bridge them with the tip of your object. If everything is installed correctly, and not DOA, this should cause the system...

    Safe Voltage for Core 2 Processors

    That wasn't the question though, the question was "how much voltage can I give it, and still have it last 3 to 5 years". With the number stated on the box, it could probably last some 15 to 20 years. If you're shooting for 3 to 5 years, I'm in agreement with the general consensus...stay...

    asus p5b deluxe 0614 bios

    That's what it sounds like (and what was reported in an earlier Anandtech article)...I'll be able to confirm or refute soon enough though. And of course, if it's true, the value of the X6800 over the other 4MB cache chips will have basically gone to nil, if the new BIOS gives all of them...

    RAID 5 question

    Depends on your RAID controller, mostly. Some support adding new disks to an array and/or migrating between RAID levels, and some do not. If you're concerned, you may want to check the controller docs and see what they say.
