I want to install 4 SATA drives on my GA-7NNXP. It comes with a daughterboard/controller. The SATA manual or the MB manual say nothing about it. When I install the card (with the power connector), any drive attached to it does not show anywhere in BIOS. How do I enable this controller? Any...

I have two Segate SATA drives running a Raid 0 striped. I just bought two Maxtor SATAs and would like to add them. I have the daughter board that allows more SATA connections for this board and the cables. My question is this. If I put them in and format them, can I add them to the striped...

I haven't heard much about this board. I've heard it is pricey and loud, with lots of features. Anyone have one? What do you think? Is the noise an issue? Art

Hi Folks, Got my lovely new PC yesterday (K8NF-9 nForce4). However there is an annoying problem. When I use a USB mouse with my PS/2 keyboard, the keyboard is not recognised in Win XP. If I remove the keyboard from Device Manager and then search for new hardware, the keyboard is recognised and...

Hi just wondering if anyone has this motherboard 8I945P-G. I just updated the bios using the @bios utill on the mobo driver disk. It tells me that all went well and that I need to reboot my machine for it to take effect! That’s where it all went pear shaped. When I restarted there's no vga nothing...

Hi, I seem to have dropped back to version F2 of my Bios I could have sworn that I had a higher version, I've been running a dual core amd for many months. I tinkered with the ram speed and now (even with Ctrl-F1 hidden options) I don't have the same menus. I'm sure the auto BIOS recovery somehow...

RAID Setup help needed. Going to take the plunge and Raid two 400 Gig Samsugn SATA 2 drives, or at least try to. I want to use the system mainly for destop USE, but also play some games and do some Video Editing with BIG HD 1080i .ts video files and the like.

I have a new GA-8S655TX Ultra Motherboard and the CPU (P4 2.8 Prescott) Fan speed is showing in the low 2000 region. The Manual states around 4000+ in their example. Everytime the screen changes I can hear the Fan (very noisy) change speed. Should I be worried? It is the standard fan that came...

Hello All, I recently swapped out my 2100xp with a new Barton2500 and added a 2nd stick of ram. I was a little disappointed that my ram got stepped down to a bus size of 333 from the 400 level I had the single stick at before. I'm using Corsair XMS512 PC3200. On the other hand, I did increase...

Hi there! I've got a Powersupply with that 24pin connector. The board is a GA-8S661FXMP-RZ with only 20pins for the powersupply. Is it possible to plug that 24pin connector onto the board? I tried it and it fits with the last 4pins "in the air". But I don't wont to turn it on, unless I know if...

It seems like Gigabyte don't update their drivers at all. The drivers for their peripherals seems to be the same since antiquity. I've seen that the Silicon Image SATA drivers are old and there are newer ones at Silicon Image's own site. Does these drivers work directly with Gigabyte motherboards...

I want to have a better BIOS for my 8INXP board. As standard the CPU voltage is set to 1.6V rather than 1.55V for my CPU which makes the CPU run too hot. I dont why the Gigabyte software engineers have done this but they must have made a serious mistake. I've seen other mistakes as well in that...

I'm planning to buy a new bigger SATA harddrive for my system. I want to keep my old harddrive in the computer as a second HD. I want to run the OS from the new harddrive booting from the SATA location. Now there is something that tells me that this will not succeed as the boot sector on the old HD...

The CPU voltage (Vcore) on my 8INXP is way too high. In EasyTune4 it even suggest that the Vcore is set on 1.6V as standard BIOS setting and not 1.55V for my P4 3.06GHz. When set on 1.6V the Vcore shows 1.61V (1.63V with DPS installed). Why on earth has Gigabyte set the Vcore too high as...

With the top performance setting enabled in the BIOS the FSB is set on 135MHz Is that the only thing top performance do? It is quite strange having a top performance option when you achieve the same with and slight overclock or is it more that I don't know about. What does the top performance...
