Raptor HDD issues

Hey, before this thread gets too lost in the mix...(BUMP BUMP) Who know show to shut off the damn NCQ using a JMicron controller? If I goto the drive in Properties in Device Manager, I can only disable Tagged Command Queing and Syncronous Transfers. I disabled Tagged, but not the other (cuz I...

Raptor HDD issues

I dunno about the 150g...But on mine, my burst speeds are 150.3, and I'm not sure what its calling the 'sustained speed'? Maybe the average transfer rate? My average using HD tach is about 80. It starts out in the 90's but near the end of the test goes down to low 70s.

Raptor HDD issues

PS....Yes all the other values/times are worse on the Caviar/Storage drive. But I can definately see how the worse burst speed on my Raptor affects my WoW load times

Raptor HDD issues

Aye I'm using the 74gb Raptor w/ NCQ. However, i believe this issue is much deeper than this. Unfortunately, I have a Gigabyte DS3 mobo wich has both Intel ports AND JMicron ports. There is much confusion and process to getting the Intel port working to optimum performance. I believe one...

*** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

Why the hell does Gigabyte make their friggin' SATA port configuration so damn CONFUSING!?! Well anyway, I have already installed a number of programs without doing any of the above steps for SATA hard drives. Do I have to format/re-install to do these steps to get the performance or...

Raptor HDD issues

Heya, So...I just got a new Raptor, and turned my old WD 7.2k rpm hdd into a storage. Funny thing is, when I run HDTach 3.0, the storage/slower drive has a better burst-speed than my Raptor! Also, I notice some maps loading in WoW are slower too. Other people have all said there is...

P965 and the 1.8V vDIMM barrier

Guys, Just got my C2D system together with the Gigabyte 965 DS3 and 2 gigs o' corsair XMS2 800 Mhz (5-5-5-12 @ 1.9v) Yes, the board DOES boot with it in there but it times it to 5-5-5-18. So...after post simply go into BIOS, up the DIMM voltage to 1.9 and then manually enter the correct...
