870a Fuzion Sata3 issue

I have a Fuzion 870a MB and I bought a Western Digital 1TB Sata 3 HD to use it as my system disc.
When the Win 7 installation program asks me where I want to install the OS I choose this Sata3 HD that's listed, however, if I either try to format it or to continue the installation on the selected disc, I won't see a progress bar and after several minutes Windows will abort the process, telling me that it wasn't possible to finish the installation.
The manual says that in order to use Sata3 HDs on this motherboard I must enable that Marvell controller, still there's a question I have unanswered: Will 'only' one Sata3 HD work or am I supposed to have at least 2 of them working in Raid?
I'd be very surprised if I have to setup a Raid, because as a customer I think I should have been warned about it.

Don't know too much about this motherboard, but it wont run the two cards in SLI. Maybe extra power is needed compared to a Nvidia motherboard, when you run the games at the same settings but with this Fuzion model?
Games are for weaklings! Try troubleshooting computer related problems and you'll get a real work-out.

  • 870A Fuzion Power has problem with keyboard and mouse movement only in games.

    Hey guys,
    recently built a new system and chose to go with the 870A Fuzion Power mainboard, everything has gone very smoothly execpt for one problem, only when I play games like Crysis 2 ect the mouse seems to jolt around now and again and the keyboard decides to stop responding if I hold down the movement keys, and this is only in game not surfing the web for example. Now, I am using a wireless mouse and keyboard but I plugged in a PS/2 keyboard and the exact same thing happened. I've installed all of the drivers that came with this board and the drivers for the mouse and keyboard. Any of you guys ever had this sort of problem or know how to fix this?
    Thanks.

    I bought a new Macbook pro in june 2010, I didn't have any keyboard or mouse issues prior to upgrading to 10.6.4 supposedly this update was made to fix some issues with keyboard and mouse becoming unresponsive. For me the opposite happened. after the upgrade, my keyboard and mouse (trackpad) becomes sometimes partially unresponsive or totally unresponsive. the only way to solve the problem is by completely turning of the computer and turning back on.. granted it doesn't happen very often.. generally once every about 2-3 weeks but it is still annoying though..
    I didn't have a chance to use the computer too much on the previous version (10.6.3) so I don't know if it is software related or hardware related.. any thoughts?

    it restarts as expected but it doesn't save it........and it continues saying no hard disk detected  low battery even though its connected to psu and say IDE....even though i have sata connectors......
    just as an extra, a small splat of water went on the board i simply wiped it away........(happened before first boot) would this by any chance affect the bios

    i wouldnt suspect the PSU at all as Corsair units are good and has more then enougth power for the Graphics Card!
    could be bios related! as a test install the HD4850 and enter bios and load optimized defaults and save setting and exit! turn the computer off and put the HD 6870 back in! that might fix it?
    also test the card in another system as it may be just a faulty Graphics card!

  • 870A Fuzion AMD 770 ram 1600mhz (non oc)..HELP..!!

    hi there,,wanna ask about my board 870a fuzion amd,,caanot archive speed 1600mhz if i use it ,only detect 667mhz only..,but the spec say this board only use 1333mhz is the maximum but can oc to 1600mhz..........im using crucial ballistix tracer 1600 ram...please helpp.....someone...

    You might be able to get the ram to run at 1600 by doing the following: go into bios(pres  "delete" key when booting) got to "cell menu"
    go to "FSB/DRAM RATIO", Set to "1:4". You might have to change timings to crucial specs. save and exit. That SHOULD bring you ram to 1600.
    Bas is right that current AMD chips do not NATIVELY support ram speeds over 1333, which IS overclocking. I have my supertalent 1333 ram at 1600 with NO issues at all. your milage may vary. You should also post your system specs like in our sigs below our posts. VERRY IMPORTANT. See posting guides please.

    It is against TOU to speculate on these message board.  Suggest you post your question on the Mac Rumors site.
    As I already stated, there is no 10.6.8 update.  If there was, it would be listed in Software Update.

  • 870a fuzion sli?

    Hi,
    Ive read on several sites that the new 870A Fuzion Power Edition can handle SLI.
    But on the MSi webpage it says "Y" to crossfire and "N/A" to SLI.
    So can someone please answer what to believe?
    If i buy that motherboard, will it handle geforce graphic cards and the possibiliy to SLI connect them?
    Or is that motherboard locked to radeon graphic cards?

    Hi,
    the AMD 870A Chipset does not natively support SLI, however, the whole point of the "Fuzion" Technology is to enable every(!) type of multi-GPU configurations (including ATI+ATI, NVIDIA+NVIDIA, ATI+NVIDIA & NVIDIA + ATI).  Linking two NVIDIA Cards via the Fuzion Technology (Lucid® LT22102 Chipset) is not the same as SLI in the strict sense, but it will have the same effect.

  • 870a fuzion atx 6pin power connection

    Can anyone help me with my new 870a fuzion board im setting up. It has the 8 pin cpu atx which plugs in no problems. But than it also has this 6 pin atx connection to the motherboard it says for the videocard. My power supply has no 6 pin atx connection (does a 6 pin mobo connection even exist). Im assuming i just connect one off my PCI-E 6 pins to the motherboard it fits in no drama. Or do i put my other 8 pin atx connection in an leave 2 pins hanging out. Is this correct first pc ive built in a few years.

  • 870a Fuzion GPU Heat Issue

    I have 2 9800gt's, they have been in 2 sli boards, and run fine.  I started with one, and seemed fine. I put the second card in, and both run about 10c hotter than they ever have.
    While gaming the card in slot one gets pretty hot. I've tried turning up the fans from the stock 35% in nvidia control panel, but for some reason the higher setting reverts back to 35% and the card gets still gets hot while gaming.
    I've never even had to think of them fans before this lucidlogix stuff.
    I'd like to buy a Radeon card, but if it's just gonna run hot..
    I took out the 2nd card, and it's back to the the regular temp. It's only when I put in the 2nd card.
    AMD 955e/8gb (2x4gb) Corsair Vengance 1600mhz (@1333)/Corsair 750w/2 zotac 9800gt's/newest bios

    Don't know too much about this motherboard, but it wont run the two cards in SLI. Maybe extra power is needed compared to a Nvidia motherboard, when you run the games at the same settings but with this Fuzion model?

  • X58A GD65 with Vertex 4 240gb SSD Sata3 issue

    Hey all,
              Was hoping to get some help with an issue I have with my X58A GD65 board. I've just installed a Vertex 4 240gb SSD and I can't get it to run at the speeds it should which are around 500mb/s read and write.
    It's plugged into the white sata3 port and it's just about breaking 200 mb/s..! :(  I've been reading bits online and I think this is to do with a bad Marvell AHCI driver? I'm currently running 1.2.0.1032.
    How can I solve this? What drivers should I be running?
    Thanks
    -Mcbonio

    Make sure the ide mode is achi. If the os was installed using ide you will need to make some registry changes.
    http://www.neowin.net/news/neowin-guide-how-to-change-from-ide-to-ahci-without-reinstalling-windows
    Update the firmware of the ssd to the most recent and if that is no help, update the bios of the mainboard.
    Note: Make sure to use the forum flash tool and download the bios from msi's website if you need to do this: >>MSI Downloads<< (I would link directly, but msi globals & usa's website has been having problems today.)

  • Unable to install 64-bit virtual machine on 870A Fuzion w/AMD Phenom X6 proc

    Unable to get resolution from support after numerous attempts. I've enabled SVM feature from bios and also updated to latest version with no luck.
    Installed Win 7 and running VMworkstation 7 - whenever installing 64bit VMs (eg. W2k8 R2) keep getting error that hardward assist virtualization technology not enabled.
    Blew away OS and reinstalled with HyperV 2k8 R2 and not problem with creating 2k8R2 VMs that is 64 bit. Whenever installing any other flavor of 64bit OS, same error occurs.
    Anybody that can point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.

    Are you dual-booting? The software message suggest you have a software problem.
    AMD and Microsoft are not the same kind of buddies Intel and Microsoft are, especially when it comes to 64bit systems.

  • MSI 870a Fuzion

    Hello, I currently just got this new Mobo, and am having trouble with my SLI and how to get it set up.
    I have two nvidia GTS 250
    one problem is that when I open nvidia control panel, i dont have the option to " Set SLI and PHYSX" it only have the physx portion.
    also when I go into the bios I see nothing to enable the SLI option.
    the mobo is running with the new "hydralogix"  I was wondering what i need to do, to use both my nvidia graphics cards. 
    anyways if someone could get back to me asap and give me a hand that would be great.  thank you!
    Josh

    Fuzion Multi-GPU Mode is actually not the same as SLI.  The effect will be similar, but it is really not the same:
