Got my AW9D-Max yesterday and hooked up my E6700 and upon booting I got a message that the CPU may be unworkable or (I forgot what the or says)..... any tips for trying to figure out what is wrong?
The message should go once you have loaded the bios defults
So your saying I should go to the bios settings and just tell it to load the defaults?
I noticed that it was also freezing, because I did manage to get into the bios once and my screen froze on the menu....
I'm using OCZ DDR2 900 XTC Plat, any suggestions ?
Do you know the defult voltages of the OCZ memory? If not can you tell the model number.
Thanks a lot Sean, I've been busy all day so I havent played with it much but putting in 1 stick of ram, and loading optimized defaults made it work.
My OCZ sticks were also 2.1 which I was able to change easily. Do you think you can explain to me how the RAID works on this? It did have all of my SATA on some type of IDE emulation mode so I chainged it to SATA enhanced (i think thats the setting)
It listed like
SATA ch 3 Master
SATA ch 3 Slave
SATA ch 4 Master
SATA ch 4 Slave
Do I want my two harddrives for raid to be in Ch 3 or Ch3 Master/Ch4 slave.
What type of raid are you trying to setup?
You would need to enter the RAID BIOS just after POST and set the RAID arrays in there. Then when installing windows you need to put in the disc with the RAID drivers on it - or use an nLite install with RAID drivers integrated
Well my real question is which SATA to use. I am going RAID0 and using SATA ports 1-4.
When i changed the bios to the raid option it told me the following
Sata 1 = IDEch3 Master
Sata 3 = IDEch3 slave
Sata 2 = IDEch4 Master
Sata 4 = IDEch4 slave
Do I want to plug my two harddrives into SATA 1 and 3 or 1 and 4 ?

I am using the intel controler which controls sata's 1.2.3.4 you can plug your drives in any of them.
Then in your bios in the inergrated periferals / onchip ide device menu
set on-chip sata to enhanced mode then set on-chip sata mode to raid
If you are not using the other sata ports i recomend you disable
serial1 ata controler and sierial2 ata controler in the onboard pci device menu
so you will not get promts for the those controlers at post
Then when your pc is posting you should get the prompt to press ctrl+i which will take you into the menu were you can set your raid stripe
Everything is working great, thanks guys.
HDTach said my read speed is 399 mb/s
What block size did you set?
399MB/s is just the burst speed which is useless most of the time. Your actually speed will be around 150mb/s for 2 harddrives.Originally Posted by Sanborn

Dont worry mate it is sopposed to do that on the first boot. Just gointo the bios, save and exit. Reboot and bobs your uncle
