Thanks, but I'm using the 1 meter cables that come with them. No need for longer cables in my setup.
Getting better 3rd party cables is on the "tick" list as I troubleshoot this issue.
Although, I did some upgrading last night and have only had ONE USB 3.0 EXT HDD hooked up and so far it...
This problem is just INSANE!!
I've bought 3 USB 3.0 Ext. HDD's (2 WD & 1 Seagate) over the last 2 years and was using them on computers that only had USB 2.0.
Not one single problem, EVER.
Just built a Xeon Ivy Bridge Workstation with Intel USB 3.0 ports and I have CONSTANT RANDOM...
You ARE "The Man"!!
I just posted up in my thread about a 3.3 volt warning.
Had no clue as to whether it was over or under voltage causing the warning.
Since I was READING something in my browser that was taking some time, I'm now leaning towards the UNDER thanks to your reply here.
I might...
Hmmm......3 days up & running and I just got a 3.3 volt RED warning popup from my Asus Monitoring program.
But when I opened up the monitor, this is what it showed:
So, I have NO CLUE as to whether it was an under voltage or an over voltage.
I did have a couple of VM's running and was in...
It's even Cool as a Cucumber with the STOCK CPU cooler right now. (I won't run Prime on it until I have the RMA'd cooler back and installed though.)
Had to RMA the Dark Knight II. Bad threads on on of the standoffs and loose top fin on the heatsink.
Didn't want to wait on it to get the system...
I owe you a HUGE apology!!!!
The ODD seemed to work just fine with the SATA III cable hooked up to it. (I did change it out just to be safe.)
BUT.......My SSD SATA III ran like a regular SATA II HDD when I put a regular SATA cable on it.
Based on my previous "Erroneous" data, I needed a...
DING DING DING DING!!!
We have a WINNER!!!
I knew that it was something SIMPLE.
After all my monkeying around, I changed the SATA Power Cable BACK to the one I originally had connected to the DVD drive.
When I did, VIOLA'!!! It worked all of a sudden. Then it stopped. So, I "Jiggled" the...
The BIOS is Version 3010.
About the SATA III cables, first I'm pretty CERTAIN it's been PROVEN that ANY SATA cable will give you the SATA III speeds. It's all Marketing crap and they tried to use the CAT cables as an example of SPEED difference to charge more for the same old cable we've been...
Ok, I did the PAPER test and I'm Officially INSANE now. The PSU fan IS working properly and I turned off the be SURE that the FAN was not mount upside down or the fins the wrong way.
As far as a Power Problem on the DVD drive, the LED lights up on it when I hit the button and I've even switched...
Rest assured, that will be next.
I have another question on something that I just noticed regarding my PSU FAN.
The fan is pulling air IN from the BACK of the PSU and blowing OUT through the Fan!!
Every single PSU I own, the fan PULLS the air INTO the PSU and it exhausts OUT the BACK of the...
BTW, the HDD Fault light is no longer staying lit, but it still won't let me open the DVD drive tray, even if I let it post then get the Insert Bootable Media message.
Well, when I get into the BIOS the HDD LED stays on. Don't know if that means it's accessing the drives or it is a fault.
You...
Hey, you're giving me suggestions and are not here to see and know what I've done or haven't.
I'm not being Trite with you at all. I'm just frustrated AT MYSELF MOSTLY.
I've been building my computers since 1989 use to do some computer consulting a few years ago.
No, I purposefully left ALL...
Uh....I haven't PHYSICALLY used the MB Jumper to clear it. I figured since it did it's first Power On thing and had ALL the RAM & CPU settings correct that I didn't want to mess it up.
So, you're saying to PHYSICALLY rest the CMOS?
As far as banging the Keyboard, I was and DID alter the...
Yes, I AM using the Optiarc out of my other Asus system that I KNOW works.
I also put the NEW Asus DVD into the old system and it works just FINE during POST and after into the OS.
And Yep....Rapid Filling the DELETE from even BEFORE I put the power back to it.
Any other ideas?
Thanks...
Not knowing what video card is on her system makes this even tougher.
I know that my nVida updates from nVidia don't play well with the Windows nVida driver updates.
I have to use ONLY the nVidia site's WHQL Suite update. Elsewise I can some weird stuff going on.
I also keep, I think it's...
It just keeps trying to boot off it and WON't let me back into the BIOS with only the SSD hooked up but the HDD Fault LED is off now.
Double ARGH!!
This means I either have to hook up ONLY the DVD that causes the fault or both the SSD and the DVD in order to enter the BIOS.
What a PITA!!
I...
Ok, this is just retarded.
It just HAS to be something SIMPLE I don't know or am overlooking.
I just hooked ONLY the DVD to each of the 2 SATA III ports, and the 4 SATA III ports and the same problem. HDD fault light on but the BIOS sees the DVD and it's MFG.
I tried changing the SATA mode to...
Nope.
I just went into advanced settings and it IS seeing the DVD drive and that it is the Optiarc now. And it's on P3 and the SSD is on P1.
I'll give it a shot with ONLY the DVD hooked up.
I'm assuming that the NEW UEFI BIOS kinda saves System Profiles like a Windows OS now?
I'll post back...
Hi, I just put my new build together with ONLY my Corsair Neutron GTX hooked up to my SATA 1 of my 2 SATA III ports and my NEW Asus DVD drive to to SATA 3 on the 4 SATA II ports.
I have NOT hooked any of my other HDD's to the system as this was a first boot to BIOS. The UEFI BIOS SEES and...
Nothing to see here....move along. LOL
I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE for starting a thread here for a Motherboard PROBLEM.
I then saw the COMPUTER HELP section and am moving this to there.
OP was moved to here http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?p=34975415#post34975415 so that you can see...
It NOW sounds like getting a SSD would/should be the upgrade of choice.
Then it can easily be carried over to a new build when the time/money is right.
You should notice a difference of load times in games if you're only running HDD's in your system now. And you're overall system will be...
These guys are steering you right.
If you can wait until the Fall to do a Fresh Build that would be best for now.
Just getting an SSD installed will make you think you have brand new machine.
I know I'll catch FLAK for this, but after doing a FRESH OS install with ONLY the SSD hooked up and...

How could it be a rip off?
You have just confused an elderly man.
Tooche' I say!!
P.S. If you put a build together on that site, you DO know that it's Javscript based and will REST to default for all that click the link you provided right?
Next time, if you did/will do a build, you need...
Thanks. I'll even update if....Er... Uhm....WHEN it DOES goes/GO well!! (Knocks on WOOD Desktop after typing.) LOL
I've only had like 3 builds in my entire life that went together like Lego's and just Purr'd from the Git-Go.

Thanks for JINXING ME!! LOL
I've already stated that I've never ever had a PSU fail on me.
When I wrote that post I figured it would come back to bite me in the butt.
Thanks again for sharing your VERY SOUND knowledge with me.

Those were TWO of the first four replies on 4/24/2013 to my thread that I started on that date.

I'm OFFICIALLY THANKING everyone, especially mfenn and DSF, for offering their suggestions and guidance on this build of mine.
My build budget took an unexpected hit due to a serious illness in the family which will take me out of town here shortly.

I never said anything about having any advantage over anyone. Here or elsewhere concerning electrical systems.
Your statement about Schottky rectifiers and MOSFETS lasting indefinitely is PURELY THEORETICAL. Sorry, but the Physics of Planet Earth put a Real World Damper on that theory.

Go watch this guys videos. They were made this year 2013.

I just looked the partial specs of your system in your sig:

Instead of going larger, for the money and since he was looking at the U2413, could he go with two of these? Dell UltraSharp U2410.

Ok, I "think" I understand what you're saying.
I'm of a mind that the AMPERAGE on the rails and the efficiency of the circuits also play a role.
