shogan191 Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 Good Maxst2. Just be sure to write 0s to the drive before formatting. Sometimes I do that to mine if I'd had a couple of corruptions. Takes a while but seems to stabilize things a little. Link to post Share on other sites
Maxst2 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 gonna try and repair if possible.... reallllly dont want to reinstall everything.... but sadly ill pretty much have to i bet. Link to post Share on other sites

Maxst2 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 well its on the path of reinstall... Looks like ill have two drives now Link to post Share on other sites
shogan191 Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 Are you going to configure them in raid? Link to post Share on other sites
Maxst2 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 ah... dunno.. both IDE.. how would i do that? Well i got a screen shot of my 2.7 run and it lasted 3 hours. I went to up it lil more.. 2.8 and i noticed it wasnt running good. When to back it down, lower than 2.7, since i want to keep it there... OS corrupts again. Odd? to me it is.. But im getting tired of reinstalling this and im gonna bow down and let this pass. Unless you'll accept a simple screen shot of CPUz and PC probe of cpu temp and vcore.lol Link to post Share on other sites
shogan191 Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 What? Did you write 0s to the drive before formating? If you are having trouble with the OS corrupting I would do that this time before formatting. You might also be sure to do a long format and I'm sure your using NTFS and not Fat32. Your motherboard would have to have raid or you would have to buy a raid card. What mb is it again? Anyway just set it where it's stable and working. When the time comes you can enter you score regardless of what your clocked to. Link to post Share on other sites

tarawa Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 (edited) Looks like that board has a SATA RAID controller but not an IDE RAID controller. I might have overlooked it tho. http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&am...amp;modelmenu=1 Edited November 29, 2006 by tarawa Link to post Share on other sites
Maxst2 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 looks like it does from newegg specs. Link to post Share on other sites
miggs78 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 looks like it does from newegg specs. I guess Max is right. Copied this from Newegg: Storage Devices PATA 2 x ATA100 up to 4 Devices PATA RAID NV RAID 0/1/0+1 JBOD SATA 1.5 Gb/s 4 SATA RAID NV RAID 0/1/0+1 JBOD Yup I believe you could configure those 2 drives in RAID. Just to be extra sure, Shogan what do you say.. Link to post Share on other sites
Maxst2 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 So what would i need to do? If your gonna tell me i have to reinstall everything i've just done today... twice in one day... boy that'd really suck.lol Never attempted RAID before. I want most performance if possible.

brownhornet Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 if you want performance go with a RAID 0 set-up Link to post Share on other sites

IntelGuy Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Nope. I've got the 8800GTX. But if I play, it will just be for bragging rights. Link to post Share on other sites
miggs78 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I'll never get any of this , my luck at PC Pitstop has never been good, I have never ever won anything ... I'm just thinking maybe this is another one of those competitions, I will take part in for nothing... Link to post Share on other sites
IntelGuy Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I know how ya feel miggs. The first Pit contest I participated in I think I came in 188th. Heck, I don't recall there being any prizes, either. But I got something out of particpating. (Although I think it was an insatiable desire to always be upgrading...) I know it probably sounds pretty corny, but I just enjoy the competition. Back when I used to build and run street rods, I was always looking for a race. And although winning is a nice feeling, if I had lost every race I still would have kept on doing it, because what I enjoyed was the racing part of the whole deal, the speed, the power, the grease under my fingernails 24 hours a day.... Things haven't changed much. I still get spanked when I go up against the Big Dawgs, but it's worth it to me just to be able to run in the same pack. And every now and then I'll hit another personal best, which just keeps me pushing for more. But it is true..... If you're not the lead dog the view never changes. Don't ask me how I know this....

Maxst2 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 well i got mine in... Im just gonna stick with what i got. manged lil over 2.7ghz on just bumping the fsb up to 253 and multi to x11. I prolly could do more... but i really dont want to screw it up again.lol... lastly... i changed my temp cache to 50 and it still says im at 313 for some reason? so i got 10 points knocked off.

tarawa Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Don't feel bad Miggsy. Last big "contest" we had I killed a Motherboard. I'll tell ya one thing. I learned more about overclocking and tweeking from the 3 or so contests I've been in then I'd have ever learned in school. So that kinda pays for the Motherboard. Link to post Share on other sites

tarawa Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Question. I can make 2 hardware upgrades DURING the competition, right? Like, say, new RAM on Dec. 10th and a new Motherboard on the 13th, for example? Link to post Share on other sites
