| Yay finally a dedicated thread, right you can chuck some pc-8500 from ocz in it without any problem (yes its sli ready the same as go faster stripes tbh), and it will boot at 400x8 with stock voltage on the ram and 1.4050v for the cpu without so much as a murmur (E6400) just watch those temps esp the damn pwm's mine load at 60c.

| Are there any guides on how to set up RAID0 for the O/S on this while running a sata optical drive? I remember reading a sort of guide somewhere, but can't remember where, or what it said. Unless the issue has been fixed, in which feel free to tell me to shut up! |

| Thanks buff but that wasn't quite what I meant. It was possibly to do with the issue you just mentioned. I just remember reading a topic where people couldn't set up raid arrays and someone got around it by installling to a drive and activating something and transfering something (I can't remember, you may have guessed) to get it working. |
