I'll try it when I next get a chance then... Out of interest, does nothing exist to diagnostically test PSUs and Mobos for faults? I've been looking around for a while but found nothing useful other than benchmarking software, but I have no idea what I should be comparing the benchmarks to...

Yeah but things can still break :P Any idea how I can run some tests on the motherboard to see which one's the culprit without swapping parts? I've got an old 600W PSU lying around, will that handle my spec, to test, do you think?

Here you go: PSU: Thermaltake ToughPower 1200W Modular Power Supply Mobo: MSI motherboard 790FX-GD70 AMD AM3 DDR3 ATX CPU: AMD CPU AM3 Phenom II X4 955 quad core 3.2GHz x4 Black Edition RAM: Corsair XMS3 DHX 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600C9DHX Twin3X Graphics Card: BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 640MB...

I've had a problem with the output of my graphics card for a long time, it switches between the two ports. The problem is that all black pixels will suddenly flicker blue until i turn off the monitor and back on again (this happens on both of my monitors and both of my ports on my graphics card)...

The XFX card doesn't seem to be non-RAID compliant, it's so annoying that the lacie card is out of stock with no ETA, that would be perfect, I'll just use JBOD for now i suppose, and when I start moving the drives back and forth I'll just have to have another look for a non-RAID controller.

Thanks for the reply, after some searching it turns out ASUS disabled the SATA mode option somewhere along the way which is just great... I'll have a look in that review now and then find somewhere to buy it, OCUK's stock is surprisingly small on SATA controllers. Also, is there any...

Someone must have some ideas, all I want is to be able to add these 2 500GB drives as "normal" drives to my system, either using the Silicon controller or something else, the XFX ones look good but can I use these for non-RAID drives? (I need to move drives between controllers which is why I...

Right both new drives are connected to the Sil Image controller, if I enable it in bios i get the silicon image bios come up with only the options to make jbod and raid, if i leave the drives as they are and try to boot it will just hang on POST after the sil image bios.

Don't think they show up on those ports without RAID, will try when i get the hdd.

How do i do that?

Sata controllers and JBOD. Hi all, I currently have a Asus A8n SLI-Premium. All 4 of the standard SATA ports filled, if i buy more hard drives can I only run them in RAID on the silicon image controller or does the silicon image controller allow you to run them as "normal" hard disks, I...

Hi all, I currently have all 4 of the standard SATA ports filled, if i buy more can I only run them in RAID or does the silicon image controller allow you to run them as "normal" hard disks, I don't want to run RAID and I've also heard that if controllers offer JBOD they can lock that hard drive...

Yeah I just bought Akasa ones, but it's killed 2 cables now, surely not a coincidence? :P

Okay, I'm not replacing my motherboard now, just the hard-drive. I'll see how it goes with the new hard drive, bought some better quality (i think) SATA cables too rather than the ones shipped with the motherboard, such a strange problem tbh.

I have the A8N SLI Premium, currently I am using all 4 of the standard (black) SATA ports on it, I have no experienced with RAID and haven't tried the controller. But does anyone who has this board know if I can use the black RAID ports as I do with the black ones (non-RAID)? I don't really...

Lol :P

Well it works with the new cable and not with the old so I'm guessing it is the cable :) And it's not under tension, it has lots of slack and the hard drive is in line with the connector on the mobo. I haven't tried the cables with other drives no, only with the one drive that it happens...

Hey, recently my hard drive has been appearing to fail and causing BSODs etc etc. Anyway, it's because of the cable, so far I've replaced the cable twice now and it works fine after, I'm RMAing both the mobo and HDD anyway, but have any of you experienced this before? I can't understand what...
