Hello!

 

I got an Asus p8z77-v Deluxe motherboard and i wonder if i can use the 2 sata ports with SSD CACHE stickers on as "normal" sata ports?

 

I tried to connect an ordinary hdd to it but when i started the computer up it just staid with a black screen and didnt load.

Normally you should be able to. Is your bios set to boot from that drive?

Core i7 2600  Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3P-B3  EVGA GTX 970 FTW  16Gb 1600Mhz G.SKILL

 

    Samsung 500Gb 840EVO RAID0 Random 80GB HDD Corsair GS700 Corsair ArticWhite C70

The bios is set to boot from the ssd which is connected to the Intel 6gb/s chipset

 

But the screen is black before i have a chance to go into the bios

Make sure that the Marvell controller is enabled in the bios as those two ports are controlled by Marvell and not Intel.
