Iometer... never knew this existed, but it looks like just the right tool to test these things... Good to know it exists! As for real data, yea, but i did it with a copy of my 'main' drive; the original data was never in any harm :)

Hi everyone, Yesterday i got a call from my reseller, telling me he had the new memory DIMMS. I took em home, plugged em in and confirmed it was PC3-10700 memory. I returned the PC-3 8500 memory to the reseller. I now have 6 DIMMS of PC3-10700 memory in my computer. The system is running rock...

Hey Time, I know about the Blue Screen option ;) I may have worded it wrong, but yea, the Automatically Restart thingie is cleared. Still there are no Blue Screens, and no usefull remarks in Event Viewer. There is no Memorydump made either. This probably simply means that the computer is indeed...

Well, according to OCZ... its the same memory, running at the same speed. That's according to OCZ. According to the facts, yes, my computer was running rock solid with 10700 in A1,A2, and 8500 in B1,B2. CPU-Z confirmed the memory was running @ Dual Channel, and it ran on the lowest speed (533...

Hey Buck, I'm willing to try that, since i'm desperate to find the true reason for this rig getting unstable. @Howell, I did what you said; Atm im running 10700@A1,A2, 8500@B1,B2, and nothing@C1,C2. The memory now shows up as dual channel, and guess what... solid as a rock. I'm trying...

Hey Howell, I saw the modules that Buck suggested, Thanks to Buck for that. I am looking for a different set, but at the moment i'm just gonna use your method to try and prove it's a memory type conflict. OCZ and my local reseller are still denying that it is a different type of hardware, and...

Aaah, so u say A1-A2 = channel 1, B1-B2 = channel 2 and C1-C2 is channel 3? I always thought that A1,B1,C1 = channel 1 and A2,B2,C2 = channel 2, since this is triple channel memory... Come to think of it, that doesnt make sense calling it tripple channel, since it would mean you only have 2...

Hey Howell, What do you mean by accidently mixed? I have 6 DIMM slots, from which 3 are Orange colored (thats A1, B1, C1) and 3 are black (A2, B2, C2). I've tried to run the older memory in A1, B1, C1, and the faster memory in A2, B2, C2. I also switched em around (fast in A1, B1, C1), but to...

Hi everyone, Thank you for all your feedback and ideas / suggestions. Well, i have an update on the issue: I've tried the 6GB sets seperate from each other. Seems with 6GB, i can stress my PC all i want (high IO, Downloads, etc) and it runs stable without crashing. So, this rules out the...

It can't. Not without proper manual Voltage settings. Sure, it boots, it works, all run fine.... and then try to cross-copy 1.5 TB. Besides, this is all over the OCZ and Asus forum. Even just now, i got a call from Asus Support, and they confirmed that the Auto setting from Asus mobo's give the...

I used the following 3 programs: - MemTest86_3.5a - MemTest84+-4.20 - HCI MemTest All programs ran for hours overnight, and all gave 0 errors. However, according to the person that helped me get on this trial, he had the very same issue; The memory seems to be fine in programs like MemTest...

Problem Solved!! Hi everyone, Thank you all for your feedback. I did do a reinstall of W7, and with 0 additional drivers (nor updates) the problem still persisted. I had my PSU checked, and it's a monster. No way that it could be undervoltage (or watts). In the end, with some help from an...

ps. Stereodude; i also thought of installing WinXP x86, to see if the problem is related to W7 x64. Maybe i will, if all other things fail. Linux is not really an option for me, cause i have not enough experience with Linux to know what the heck im doing, let alone how to toroughly test stuff ;)

This thread is being continued in a new thread: http://www.storageforum.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8551 The problem has expanded, and im now struggling to find the true cause of my problems.

@ Howell: Thank you, i will post the results soon. I did check something tho: According to the PSU calculator, this is the recommended Watts / Amperage for my setup with a full 100% load; Below that is a table of power my PSU can handle: Afaik, i can add the 12V rails together, so my PSU can...

Hi all, For a short introduction of my tech level; I’ve been a system manager for the past 8 years, and been playing around with computer for nearly 20 years. Until recently, I’ve never faced a problem with my own computer that I couldn’t solve, or figure out what was giving issues, until now…...

I agree i shouldn't care as to what Sandra says; I checked with Everest and it says ICH10R, and IRST gives both thumbs up for the array. The reason i was getting curious, is that even the firmware flashing tool from Samsung for the drives said ICH8R in DOS. This by itself is explainable, as...

Hi all, I have an Asus P6T SE, with the X58 southbridge. This uses the ICH10R Onboard Raid controller. I've installed the IRST 9.6 and the latest chipset drivers from Intel (for X58). However, when i check with SiSoft Sandra, it says the following: I think SiSoft Sandra is faulty and not...

Hi all, Two simple questions: 1. If i have a (good working) RAID1 (Mirror), and i was to remove 1 drive... and i place that drive as a single SATA in another system (provided this is not the OS / BOOT drive), will i be able to read the data? Since in RAID1 both drives are merely copies of...

After 24 hours of initializing, here are my final results: Onboard ICH10R (Asus P6T SE) RAID5: 3x HD204UI 128k Stripe 32k Cluster WBC ON No Manual Alignment or other tweaks needed. READ: 251 MB/s WRITE: 265 MB/s Wonder how long it stays stable ;)

Well, Here are the testresults on the write / read speed. After 24 hours of initializing, i was dieing to toy around with the Stripe Size vs. NTFS Cluster Size. And the results are... suprising. I apologize for the large image. Long story short; My best results on my current setup: RAID5 /...

Thanks alot m8 :) I'll post my findings / results here so other people may benefit from it. Regards, Kami.

Hi Stereo, Thank you for your elaborate explanation. Currently i flashed the HD204UI's with the latest firmware and popped 'em in a RAID5 array via ICH10R. It's currently running the Initializing via the Intel Rapid Storage Tool, got em on 64k data stripe and enabled Write-Back cache just for...

Hi all, I bought 3x WD20EARS for my ICH10R raid 5 setup. Turns out a big mistake, and i guess it's the problem with the TLER not being enabled / available on the WD20EARS. They failed twice on the Initializing, thus this is my 4th day trying to initialize the raid -.- I'm using the Intel Rapid...
