Does the 975x platinum PE support boot from OCZ revodrive?

Hi all!
Does anyone know if the 975x platinum powerup edition motherboard supports an OCZ revodrive x2 on its second long scale PCIe slot and also boot from it?

The board is going to be 5 years old this year and the RevoDrive is a pretty new piece of hardware.  That basically means three things:
1.) Active BIOS Development was stopped about 2 years ago.  Whatever the case is with the RevoDrive, there will most likely not be a BIOS Fix in case any issues should surface.
2.) MSI has most likely never tested an OCZ RevoDrive 2 on this mainboard is most probably not going to do so in the future (they won't dig every old board out of the archive to check compatibility with newer devices -> that kind of job is to time consuming & would never be finished)
3.) The number of users that still have this mainboard in active use, actually tried a RevoDrive and are therefore able to share their experiences is rather low.
Basically, your only chance is that a user that fits into the category outlined under 3.) finds this thread by accident and is willing to provide feedback.  If that does not happen, you are basically on your own.  Test it and see for yourself.  That would be my advice. It should actually work.  The RevoDrive 2 is first and foremost a Silicon Image RAID Controller which dates back to 2005/06 and it is therefore rather old itself.

    IT also says it supports max of 8gb of ram using 4 slots.
    as far as i know I haven't seen any 2gb modules.
    I've read some of the concerns on this forum and have noticed people have had trouble getting their module up to 800mhz. What's the deal here.
    Thanks.

    Hi Rodruff,
    As you see by my specs below I am running 1066mhz memory, I went for the cheap stuff Kingston Hypre PC8500 and Am running it at 1060mhz. I can not overclock it but I can recommend your bios settings for you as I went through quite a bit of testing.
    I have a 60mm fan attached to both my north bridge and south bridge,needed to get over 300mhz clock. I am using bios beta 716 and my proc @2.8GHZ nice and stable. I have found that this bios is stable and gives correct ratios for memory.
    Your memory may differ from mine but I can not push my FSB past 353mhz as this would force my memory into overclocking and it won't take it.
    FSB:Dram = 1:1.5 = 1:3/2 = 353:530 (double the data rate so effective is 1060mhz) My memory would only work at ratios 1:1 or 1:1.5, yours may differ but it's a good starting point. I have my Vcore @1.3 for a 353mhz FSB.
    Technically if you want to run your proc at stock you should be able to run 1:2 ratio, 267:533 but mine can not run @1066 exact so I would have to lower my clock, no thanks. You may need to up your vdram to 2.2 for these higher ratios but you will need to check your memory specs to confirm.
    Also you will need to set your memory timing manually, mine being 5-5-5-15 but I am running 4-4-4-12 ok. You will need to check your mem specs to get your timing though.
    Lastly there are some settings to disable in the bios as to not mess with your overclocking -
    Advanced settings/CPU settings -
    Disable Speed step
    Disable C1E something?
    Disable Visualisation
    Cell Menu -
    Disable Spread spectrum
    Disable PCI clk
    Let us know how you get on - Remember that if the board doen't like your overclock it goes into a no dosplay/reboot cycle. Power down and press the power button twice to reset bad setting. That fails press the bios reset switch located in the front left  hand corner of the board.
    Good Luck

  • Does hp dc7900 support booting from 3tb hdd?

    does hp dc7900 minitower support booting from 3tb hdd?

    Hi:
    Probably not.
    In order to be able to boot from a 3 TB HDD, you need:
    1. A UEFI BIOS, which I do not believe the dc7900 has.
    There is a picture (see page 5 at the link below) of the HP splash screen for an HP business desktop that has a UEFI BIOS. If your HP splash screen doesn't look like the one in the picture, then you will not be able to boot from a 3 TB HDD.
    2. A GPT-formatted hard drive.

  • Solaris support booting from san ?

    Does anyone know if Solaris 10 supports booting from a san fabric lun ? In particular, an IBM DS4800.
    The installer doesn't see the luns when it comes time to choose a disk to install on, only the internal disks.
    The server is a IBM LS20 blade. I've managed to install Sol. 10 on the internal drives and can see the luns on the DS4800.
    I'm using Solaris 10 Express 10/05 x86/64.
    Brian.

    Do you see the luns after boot? I'm wondering if there isn't a driver for your controller in the default installation environment. I would assume one could be added (that being one of the big benefits of newboot). Especially if you could create a jumpstart server. (It's easer to add a driver to it than to burn a new CD/DVD).

  • MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R support booting from USB devices?

    I am building a super computer using the MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R. I would like to either get a USB pen drive, or an external Floppy Disk Drive in place of an internal Floppy Disk Drive.
    Does anyone know if this board supports booting from a USB device?

    I ordered my board as well, however, they were out of stock and it may be as long as 2 weeks before they get more in. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get yours from? I am VERY much excited about getting this board as I only await the MB and CPU. What all are you putting in yours??
    Mine:
    MB-   Obvious
    CPU-  2.4 800Mhz
    RAM-  2 sticks, 256 PC 3200 XMS Corsair using dual channel, at first I think I will use the 512 pc3200 I already have though.
    HDD-  80GIG W/D 7200 RPM ( May get another to run RAID 0)
    VGU-  Chaintech TI4200 at 8x w/ 128 DDR
    CD#1- 52x cd rom
    CD#2- dvd 16x, cdr 48 cdrw24 cdrom 48
    500W raidmax Pwr Sup
    Koolcases Panther case w/ window and 3 80MM/ 1 60MM fans
    For now I will even use the old 3.5 A drive. Just in case.
    Red light internaly
    Digidoc 5 for thermal monitoring on:
    1.cpu  2.ram  3.VGU 4.case 5.HDD 6.other ram 7.chipset 8.dvd for curiousity sake. just curious of the temps they produce. but always able to move it to a more vital area if the need arises.
    Will be upgrading to liquid cooling in the future, that way when I am deployed the temps stay in the blue. (HOPEFULLY)

  • Does the Catalyst 2960x-48TD support Cisco's IGMP Snooping MIB?

    Does the Catalyst 2960x-48TD support Cisco's IGMP Snooping MIB?  We have a number of switches from different vendors and have recently begun switching to Cisco's, however unlike the other brands I am unable to audit the IGMP Snooping settings via SNMP.  It appears that while the switch supports IGMP Snooping it does not support the CISCO MIB for IGMP Snooping.  Is this a known bug and is it fixed in any of the later releases?
    Our company is purchasing and deploying C2960X-48TD's and I am tasked with updating our system audit software 

    Hi Sean,
    Nov 21 15:40:42.390: %MCAST-SPSTBY-6-ETRACK_STATS_LIMIT_EXCEEDED: Number of entries in IGMP snooping explicit-tracking statistics has exceeded the maximum limit (32000)
    The above log message is written because the number of explicit-tracking statistics entries is bounded to avoid monopolizing of system resources by IGMP/MLD snooping. The explicit-tracking statistics database maximum size is set to the same as that of explicit-tracking limit.
    The statistics are split into two banks: permanent and volatile. The statistics entries will be stored permanently (volatile) until the permanent entries threshold is reached, after which the statistics will be stored temporarily up to the database maximum size. When the size of the database exceeds the permanent threshold, a group will be removed on receiving an IGMP/MLD leave. Groups can be removed whether they were installed above or below the permanent threshold. If the number of statistics entries grows beyond the maximum size of the database, then no statistics will be stored for any newly formed groups.
    You can disable ip igmp snooping explicit-tracking by the following
    1) Configure "no ip igmp snooping explicit-tracking"
    2) Configure "ip igmp snooping limit track 0" on global.
    3) After ET is disabled, please do a "clear ip igmp snooping statistics".

  • Ideapad S205 doesn't support booting from SDHC-Card

    Hello,
     I have the Ideapad S205 and  I cannot boot from a SDHC-Card (Ubuntu Linux) with the internal cardreader. With an external card reader  I can boot from the SDHC-Card.
    Is there any solution or maybe a BIOS-Upgrade?
    Thanks
    Simon

    when you see lenovo logo, press f12 to set bios order.
    also, check for bios booting option. if there's not option, i don't think s205 supports booting from sdhc, but apparently it supports usb boot.

  • Does the MacBook Air 2012 supports SDXC Cards?

    Does the MacBook Air 2012 supports SDXC Cards?
    Thx

    Hi! How are you? The reason why I'm here is to find out more about SDXC support/compatibility info on the macbook air 2012 and how to fix this nagging issue if it's fixable.
    I had just bought a Sandisk extreme pro 64GB rated at 95mb/s for my Nikon DSLR. Unfortunately, MBA struggles to detect or mount my card, after a few sweats, it would mount, but then very slow to process and preview the images as "Thumbnail preview". Then, after a few more sweats, you can scroll through the thumbnails smoothly.
    Streaming HD videos straight from the SD Slot is butcher chopping the beef. Video lags, stutters, chops, in otherwords, USELESS and a pain in the neck. So you just want to copy all the files to your macbook, and play from there. Copying files from SDXC to my macbook takes forever; writing is also another issue that take much more than forever!
    I have a top of the line macbook air 2012 (i7, 8GB, 512) and I always thought it's a versatile reliable computer but now I'm very disappointed. On the other hand, doing the same things on my macbook pro 2010 is seamless. I also tested on my windows 8 desktop to be flawless as well.
    Therefore, the memory card is not the problem. It's macbook air's sd slot that's a failure. I never thought spending $2,199 for a super computer would make me stress like this. In addition, the magsafe 2 is another failure in design. It always disconnects just by moving my macbook air from one spot of the table to another. Having it charged while on my lap gets on my nerves when it keeps getting disconnected! I hate Apple for doing this. If only there was a Windows notebook that surpasses Apple's design, I would never EVER buy Apple products EVER again.

  • Does the K8N Neo-FSR support the mobile chip out of the box

    just like the titles says
    does the K8N Neo-FSR support the mobile clawhammer out of the box.?
    if not what bios would i need,. or can anyone confirm what bios is being shipped on these motheboards now.

    Jim,
    From what I've read, there are updates to the memory controller and the addition of SSE3 support to Venice.  It's also reported to have some performance improvement over Winchester and Newcastle.  It will use a default 1.4v VCore.  Hopefully, It's power comsumption is on the same order as the 90nm Winchester's or less.
    If Monarch is shipping the combo with available Bios, you can bet they work.  I'm thinking of giving them a call on mine to transfer the 2yr warranty to my youngest daughter (it's a graduation gift) and to discuss the Bios 3.3 vs. 3.3B3 issues.   They shipped mine with B3, and I think there may be a reason.  The B3 works great with a simple WPCRSET patch of the CAS to RAS Delay.  That's why you see those memory settings working on mine.
    On the "boxed" vs. OEM, I think buying the combo with warranty and a better heatsink is a much better choice.  Use the Venus 7+ in my specs.  It's low profile, all copper, and one of the highest rated.  Monarch has it in their configurator.  It's as quiet as AMD's.  Monarch also gives you a 30 day free return with a Fedex prepaid shipping label in the package.

  • Does the new airport extreme support backing up via time machine to an external hard drive pluged into the usb port

    Does the new airport extreme support backing up via time machine to an external hard drive pluged into the usb port

    Yes, but you might want to note that the port on the AirPort Extreme is only USB 2.0, and that it runs at about half the speed of the USB 2.0 port on a computer, so things are going to be quite SLOW as far as backups are concerned, or anything else for that matter.

  • 13" late 2011 MacBook Pro has frozen after Yosemite installation. I can, however, boot from a clone of my MacBook Air that is on an external drive. Despite the fact that I can boot from the external, could it be the RAM that's the prob

    My daughter's 13" late 2011 MacBook Pro has frozen (null sign displays) after Yosemite installation. I can, however, boot from a clone of my MacBook Air that is on an external drive. I reinstalled Yosemite on the MBP HD, but it still hangs in mid install. Despite the fact that I can boot from the external, could it be the RAM that's the problem? I'd happily put 8 GB in if it seems probable that would solve the problem. I've tried all the suggested procedures that I've seen posted here. Disk Utility, and my older version of DiskWarrior indicate the HD is OK. I have DiskWarrior 5 on order.

    Boot the MBP with the OPTION key down.  If successful, you should see two HDD icons,  Select the recovery partition (on the right).
    From the 4 option menu select Disk Utility.
    Run Disk Utility>First Aid, Verify and Repair.
    If the disk cannot be repaired, it will have to be replaced.
    Ciao.

    Great hearing for you all! I thought I was all alone this past weekend. I did learn a lot this weekend. I really like the InDesign product.(half-the-battle) But to be helped by the prestigious “Sandee Cohen” was an honor indeed.”  I ordered the InDesign CC today.  Peter, I appreciate all the feedback on Lynda too. They are loaded with lots of good videos. Derek too honed in on one of the most important aspects!  Since I have been working with Word for most of the first portion of the book this will be a big help. I looked at the comments big help ! Thanks a ton ALL!  Have a wonder day or evening whenever you read this reply.
