That video was perfekt - thx a lot

Thank you for the reply. SHould it matter, that my board is not an Intel server board? My board is an ASUS P9x79E-WS board...?

Hi all you extremely knowledable tech-geeks My control panel/ Component management is acting up... I have recently reinstalled my OS on a 2-disk Hardware Raid0 and since then several Intel components are missing their driver: Translation: Basissystemenhed = Base(?) System Unit, Ydelsestællere = Performance Counters, SI-Controllers = ...well thats probably the same in danish and english According to pcilookup.com, all of these components relates to Xeon E7 v2/Xeon E5 v2/Core i7, but Intel claims that no updates exists for my chipset/CPU.. So does anyone have any ideas that I can try? - short of buying a new MB/CPU/RAM? or it that the only solution? Kind regards, Martin Moesby

Thank you for your reply. I am trying to setup the voltage/frequency curve, but it doesn't seem to be working I cannot get it to use the same curve, that you are showing.. I'll keep trying though. Thx again

Thx for your input, I will check if I can get it to work - otherwise, I will have to invenst in a new card and see if I can get this one sold...

Does anyone know, if the Stock cooler of this GFX card can be replaced with a water block or otherwise be made more quiet? the blowerstyle cooler sounds like a jet-enginge spinning up for takeoff - and it seems to me that the custom fan curve doesnt work at all times... Anyways, let me know if you guys knows something that can help me... Link to the danish ASUS website, since the US does not have the card?? ASUS Turbo GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6 | Graphics Card

Hi, I have recently purchased the above mentioned GFX card.. why you might ask? Well, it was the only one available. Downside is that it is a blowerstyle cooler - it makes one hell of a racket, when the tiny 80mm fan spins up to 95% when running games in vsync on 144 Hz monitor So, does anyone know, or know anyone who knows if there is a waterblock for this puppy?

So, I have been doing some research I may have come up with an upgrade, that maybe could give my system another 3-4 years lifetime, bringing it to a staggering 10 year - thats a lot of years in computeryears But the MB is a solid piece of engineering, and I would love to be able to give some more years.... So, I have nowRAID0'ed the 2 SSDs and migrated OS, Profiles and Applications on to the now 500GB SSD. I have managed to fit alle the rest of the data onto the 2TB HDD so now I only have 2 TB I need to migrate to an SSD.. So here are some ideas - if you dont mind giving your thoughts.... SInce the drives are on SATA600 I have had the following ideas for upgrading storage: 2 * 1TB SSD in RAID0 for more speed or 2 * 2TB SSD in RAID1 for security or 4 * 500GB SSD's in a RAID0 for 2TB for maximum speed or 4 * 1TB SSDs in a RAID10 for better speed and mirrored storage of 2TB or something else ? CPU i7-4390K 3.4GHz -> XEON E5 2697V2 2.7GHz- slower speeds and no OC'ing but double the cores...? RAM -> another 4*8GB DDR3 memory for quad channels to a total of 64MB ? GPU -> Upgrading to RTX 3070 Turbo - I seem to be able to get my hands on one of those... my PSU is a AX860i from Corsair, I think it should be sufficient for this GFX/CPU So, any thoughts`Am I completely gone with this idea ??

This worked like a charm Thx. Wil now try to migrate OS to the RAID volume

Do you mean, that if I somehow need to clear CMOS, I should set the SATA mode to RAID before first boot? or set it to AHCI before first boot? ...and thank you again, I'll try this, as soon as my Backup is finished

Thanh you for the description and the links - but I an a little puzzled - should I "only" do the 5 steps you have mentioned here, og should I also do all the regedit stuff?

Yes, I am using the 2 top grey ones - there are no drives connected to the Marvell controller...

I have an issue I cannot seem to finde any information about with my elderly, but rock-solid and dust-free P9X79E-WS board: There are a total of 5 storage devices: 2 SSD's SATA6 and 3 HDDs SATA6. the SSD's are connected to the 2 grey-sataports and the HDDS are connected to the blue SATA-ports (not sure what significance this has, but now it's out there...) My plan was to migrate the OS to the HDD, create the SSD raid0 in BIOS, BOOT from the migrated OS and then migrate the OS back to the newly created RAID-volume... (I am using "AOMEI Partition Assistant" to do this (v 8.6)...) After migrating OS to a non-raided HDD from a non-raided SDD I ran into the these issues: 1) I cannot get the HDD set automatically into the boot-sequence - I have to manually select the HDD to boot from. 2) After setting the SATA mode to RAID, and then selecting the HDD drive as boot drive, the system boot is haltet with a stopcode :INVALID BOOT SEQUENCE (or something like that) this occurs regardles if I have created a raid0 volume (using CTRL-I) or not... 3) If I after having created the RAID0, set the SATA mode to ACHI and then selects the HDD to boot from, the system boots and the RAID-volume is found in windows...I can create a partition on that volume, but wil it actually work as a RAID volume, even if SATA mode is set to ACHI? 4) I cannot migrate the OS back to the raid-volume This seemed like a good plan, but now I am not to sure.... Does anyone know something that could help me in migrating the OS back to the RAID0 volume (in BIOS Boot sequence this is shown as "INTEL OS" - the OS part is the name I gave the Volume upon creation)? Kind regards from DK Martin Moesby

Budget is apx. 2500-3000$...

OK - I dont know if this is the correct forum, if not, please redirect me... I have an older system (april '14) based on the "Ultimate Video Editing Rig"-video from around that same period. It is used mainly for development work, content creation (UE, Blender, 3DS Max, Adobe PP and AE) and a bit of gaming (WoW, Crysis, SWToR, Star Citizen and the likes...) Config: ASUS P9X79-E WS Intel Core i7 4930K@3.40Hz 32 GB RAM DDR3-1066 EVGA GTX 780 TI 2 x 250GB Samsung SSD 840 EVO 2 x 1TB Western Digital WDC 1 x 2TB Western Digital WDC Corsair i680 PSU Fractal Design Define R5 Case HP LP3065 Monitor (2560*1600 @ 60Hz) CPU and GPU is not OC'ed and the system is cooled by a custom Water loop. This system was about 4000€ incl. the water loop and it still perfoms, but it is starting to show signs of fatigue, i.e. Unreal Editor or Premiere PRO and the BSoD's seems to be creeping up on me. I also sometimes envy some of the new games, that I am not able to play (Doom Eternal, Shadow of the Toomb Raider etc.) My dilemma is - should I upgrade: GTX 780 TI -> RTX 2080/3080 (<-- those seems to be unavailable atm...) HDD -> NVME M.2 (with a modded UEFI being able to move OS to NVME's) 32GB -> 64GB HP LP3065 -> new 32" 144HZ monitor (i.e. Samsung Odyssey G5/G7) or should I start from fresh building a brand new RIG? I know this is highly subjective, but I am asking for your opinion - what would you do if you were in my shoes? Please help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, I am in dire straits.... Regards from DK Martin Moesby
