I picked up a rma'd 790i Ultra SLI motherboard recently for a team member to play with and get to know overclocking.

Specs:
QX6700
790i ultra
2000mhz 2gb
All air
IDE Plexor DVD r/w
IDE Plexor Bray DVD r/w
Seagate 750gb sata hdd
Evga 8600 (for boot, os install, trouble shooting purposes)
Evga GTX 285 for rizzo
850w Silverstone Strider


Issue:
Everything appears to be in working order except the post screen seems to be tryin to recognize the sata drive as an IDE drive and never successfully recognizes it. I remember a while back there being an issue with running IDE optical drives and sata hDD's on this 790i Ultra SLI platform. But for the life of me, can't remember what the fix was.

Anybody remember?

But its unrecognizable. Oh well, on to another hdd for os install.
