The GA-P35-DS3P from gigabyte has several SATA connectors.

Manual: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Sup...pe=Manual&FileID=17958:shocked:
On page of the PDF you'll notice that some of the SATA slots are powered by the Intel ICH9R southbridge and some of the SATA slots are powered by the GIGABYTE SATA2 chip.
If there any distinct advantage or disadvantage to using one over the other? The setup that will be used is a simple two-drive RAID 0 array. The southbridge has a heatsink on it whereas the GIGABYTE SATA2 chip does not. Will using the SB over the GIGABYTE SATA2 create more heat, or does it really matter? Does one offer better throughput?
