ASUS X99-E WS Motherboard

I wish to extend my thanks to those who took the time to read my post and respond. I sure does look like the eSATA ports on the X99-E WS board are of the ASMedia family of controllers that support Port Multiplication. Best regards to everyone. TheBeagle

ASUS X99-E WS Motherboard

I'm in the market for a new 8-core board. I'm presently running an ASUS x79 WS board, but since I do a lot of encoding and recoding, the X99-E boards have my eye. I've studied all the available specs for the new ASUS X99-E WS board, but one thing I can't determine is whether or not the...

ASUS P9X79 Deluxe DIPM Driver Is Missing?

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who responded. Mr. DW, your suggestion appears to solve the problem. I removed the two mechanical SATA drives from the Intel ports and reconfigured the on-board controller to AHCI. That "solved" the Intel Toolbox software problem, and the system fully sees the 520...

ASUS P9X79 Deluxe DIPM Driver Is Missing?

Good Evening Everyone, I finally sprang for a new build consisting of an ASUS P9X79 Deluxe board, an Intel i7-3930 hex-core, 32GB of 2133 Memory, and an Intel 520 (Cherryville) 240GB SSD. The rig runs just fine @ a modest 4500MHz OC. However, the Intel SSD Toolbox software (Ver. 3.03)...

Is There Going To Be A Rev 2.0 for X79 Boards?

It's time for me to once again consider a new build, and I want to utilize a Socket 2011 board. However, when I look at the specs for the new Socket 1155 X77 boards and compare them to the existing X79 boards, I see a possible window of improvement for the present X79 chipset boards. This...

Win 7 Ultimate x64 - BSOD "System Service Exception 3b"

Good Afternoon Mr. Jack, Thanks for the prompt response. I got part of your instructions accomplished, including the download and install of the debugging tool from MS. However, I am unclear as how to proceed with your instruction: "Once installed, run and go to FILE>OPEN CRASH DUMP"...

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 (Rev. 2.0)

Good Morning Everyone, It seems that the Gremlins of Gigabyte must have heard that I was considering an ASUS Rampage Extreme III for my new build and therefore made the Rev. 2.0 magically appear at my local distributor. Yesterday afternoon I got my hands on the new Rev. 2.0 board and it...

Im Jumping ship, which mobo?

If you check around, I believe you will do just about as well on price with an Intel 930 instead of the 920, and it will give you a higher clock rate and a better OC solution. Best regards. TheBeagle

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 (Rev. 2.0)

Good Evening Brother Blazer, You got it. The 1600C8 sticks are only listed for 4 slots in the ASUS approved memory listing, but I've got a hunch that if I just activate the XMP mode option in the BIOS, everything else will go OK. But we shall see. BTW, the fit and finish on this board is...

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 (Rev. 2.0)

UPDATE: Well, I finally got sick and tired of waiting for Gigabyte to release the Rev. 2.0 of the GA-X58A-UD5 board to the USA. That damn board has been available in Taiwan for over 2 months! So, I took a look around and decided on an ASUS Rampage III Extreme - and I'm very pleased with that...

Good LGA775 mATX mobo for HTPC

For what it's worth, I have built about a half dozen PCs utilizing the ASUS P5Q-EM mATX boards, and each build worked just great. That board handles a wide variety of memory and 775 processors with great stability and is very easy to setup. MWAVE.com still has some of those boards in stock if...

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 (Rev. 2.0)

Good Evening Mr. Blazer, Well, the Corsair RAM that you selected is exactly the sticks I bought last week. I bought two packs, of three sticks each, just like you. I had built a couple of rigs for some friends last year and used that RAM in their units and it worked just great. So, since I...

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 (Rev. 2.0)

Hello Mr. Blazer, Thanks for the reply. This new Rev. 2.0 board has me intrigued. I also heard (although just in rumor stage) that the Rev. 2.0 board will also support an i-Pad connection that has a high efficiency charging capability. I'm seriously considering taking the "leap" for a...
