I have an amd hd 7870 and it's really outdated

windows 7 maximus VII hero onboard raid 4790k

so I was running a 3 disk 750GB raid 5 array and i was getting low on space so i backed everything up and got speeds at about ~150MB/Second and the limiting factor was the one disk i was backing up to. i than deleted the array and started fresh. 5 disk 750GB raid 5 for a total of about 3000GB. after letting the disks initialize i moved my files back to the array and im now getting speeds of ~30MB/Second. this time the array is pinned to 100% and the single drive is aroung 15% ussage. how do i get faster speeds? windows 7 maximus VII hero onboard raid 4790k

id show you a pic but i cant figure out how to do it im kinda dumb

i think its 2 but it could be like up to a dozen

i got this mobo like back in december and i kinda got a new one. i found a purpose for it but i would really like to have dual channel.

i tried doing that and thinking id get my $$$ back but they sent it right back. something about how one of the stickers was missing

i had a similar problem when i bought an EVGA 650g1. it turned out that the power supply was defected. its weird that your pc just shut off though. i would try swapping out a power supply if you have one laying around and then RMA your power supply

This doesn't really go under troubleshooting but i couldn't figure out where to put it. so i kinda scratched the traces on my motherboard. i tried to put an aftermarket cooler on it and the backplate??? kinda scratched the motherboard. now channel B doesnt work. is there any way i could fix this?

something may be shorting out on your motherboard. look for scratches near the ram slots

i did the system restore thing and it worked. thanks

how do i do that?

it seems like its doing something. i think good

so im running windows seven. yesturday i updated windows and it was only like one thing or two. after i updated i couldnt get any sound to play what so ever. no startup sounds. no sound when i change volume. i even tried right clicking the volume thingie and hitting playback divices and than i hit configure and test i get an error saying "failed to play test tone".
