SB Survey

[rickss69]

I would like any and all to post here if you have experienced hdd/ssd failures or corruption from the Intel chipset saga.

I will begin with mine. I have lost 8 installs total before swapping over to the 6 Gb/s ports...none thereafter so far. Feel free to link to other forums posts as well about the subject. While we are here also include your experiences trying to install XP with this platform.

No RMA available I bet, the B3 stepping PCH is not going to be available very soon. April is expected delivery date. I think.


I have not killed anything, but I am not running SSDs on it either because I could not get Gparted to run on a USB stick on SB. I did eventually added my last functional optical drive to the PC later and gparted ran fine from that... memtest and such still crash though.

I got a little data corruption when mem tweaking , but that is expected. Returned to low OC, fixed it and back about my business easy peasy.


So... no.

XP (well FLP) installed fine from optical in IDE mode. Did the driver install/reg tweak rebooted into RAID mode and away I went.

[rickss69]

Hdd/ssd, all the same...I'm talking about high clocks people.

[Hondacity]

never had one go bad...

tiny7
win7x64
win7x86
xplite

dom must be right...

[Neuromancer]

Hmm corsair drives eh? Just had my second die on me. (was not used on the SB though)

Hdd/ssd, all the same...I'm talking about high clocks people.


No high clocks here. Only 5.2 ish. am running 104 BCLK though.. approximately all the time.

Zero, Zip, Nada SSD/HHD issues here, and I've been benching like a mofo since I got my SB setup.

But then again I had my SSD and Backup HDD in Sata port 0/1 since day 1. :D

WTF is up with SB + ASUS?

OR is there something else causing all these dead ssd/hdd issue in your hands?

[rickss69]

Both of you barfbags get out of my thread...:taunt:

[OC Maximus]

Maybe the board you got is bunk. IDK what else to say. I've been studying and reading anything and everthing SB and your the only one I've seen with such bad luck killing ssd/hhd.

Why didn't you stop at kill #2 and rma the board?

[Hondacity]

LOL

[Neuromancer]

Maybe the board you got is bunk.

It is an ASUS....:ohcrap:

Only difference between that and ASS is U.

[rickss69]

There have been several here that have lost drives besides me...and the issue with XP as well.

[Witchdoctor]

None of my SSD's or magnetic drives have been any worse for ware, But It took 5 different XP instalation disc's to install XP to a second partition. Once done my windows 7 install lasted 1 day until it was completly corrupted, I was using a Vertex 2 on the 6Gb port for 7 and 3 GB port on a Raptor for XP ..... totally frustrated,

I called Asus Tech support on Friday night and they had no idea what the problem was. They simply said the board must be bad and to send it back. (Pretty technical diagnosis on their part:laughing:)

I was not convinced and kept trying XP till it took with the fifth disc. Once I saw my 7 partition was wasted, I then called them back and was lucky enough to get someone with a bit more experience. They pointed to the faulty 3Gb port imediatly and said this would get worse not better and to send the board back immediatly.....

I do think once this platform is right it will be the bomb, but from the looks of it there will be plenty of pain and suffering to go round. But this will pave the way for the new Enthusisat level socket due in the third quarter. We can only hope ....:)

I was having the same issue with hard reboot to set timing as travis. BIOS is a POS

Observation:

Asus new BIOS is not right and needs time to mature. this is the kick off for the gooie interface so I think we may need to cut them a bit of a break here. Giga played it safe but I am sure they will have their issues when they make the jump. and as far as the chipset, well everybody from the bottom up will be burned and Intel is going to pay through the nose to make this go away....

[Hondacity]

asus bios worked perfectly for me...

[Splave]

are you guys using 1204 yet? seems promising for deluxe.

[rickss69]

I went thru three stopping at 1253. Also still have the issue of keyboard/mouse not working in efi bios...others have this problem as well but Asus has no clue.

So, the consensus is I am an idiot and all my OS failures are due to a lack of my abilities? Odd that I never ran across this before...I must have been extremely lucky on the other platforms.

[Witchdoctor]

:withstupid:

I will have to join you in the idiot club ......... :blink:

I have had the same problems except the mouse and keys but I used PS/2 keys

May be Revolution only problems but Nip had XP issues as well, not sure what SATA ports he was using though

Mine is shipped and gone ......... good writtens

No one thinks your an idiot. A piss-ant maybe but surely not an idiot :taunt:

[DrNip]

XP wouldn't install for me on Sata II and some how borked my Windows 7 SSD that was plugged in my Sata III . Dunno. I quit messing with the Sata II after that.

[kikicoco1334]

Ditto :thumbsup:

[Witchdoctor]

I have to say I can't wait to get mine back, but it won't be for 2 months ....... :shock:

Gotta say a $ 300.00 CPU that may not beat the 980x, but can hang in tough is pretty sweet

Back to the grinding labratory ..... :ohcrap:

[rickss69]

:hug:

:shithappens:"

Of course its the mb DOM...jesus

[Chuchnit]

Nope..... just the noobs behind the keyboard. Most likely an ID10T error. :laughing:

Just kidding Rickster. :blush:

[rickss69]

Nah, I'm not mad...I will however kick your narrow ass up around your shoulder blades tho just for the fun of it. :thumbsup:

[DOM]

lmao rick you'll hurt urself doing that.... i got like 100lbs on you and i got a big butt i been told by the ladys ;) but now im a fatass :laughing:

but on topic now are you going to rma it ? cuz eta for new ones is like 1-2 month right ?

[rickss69]

I probably will go ahead and send both back to NewEgg tm. I can't really do much more with it anyway the way it is. Maybe I will get lucky and get a better cpu and a mb that does not fight my every move. :good:

[Witchdoctor]

+1

WS Revolution was an utter disaster with out SATA 3GB failure, that was simply icing on the cake ....
