Low voltage on kt3ultra2-non raid

I have an kt3ultra 2 adn an xp 1700+ throughbredd ver b.
The max voltage that i have in bios is 1.6 !!!!!!!!!!
Haw can i have max 1.85 ???
Thnaks...

The defaults on these boards only allow +/- .1 volts on the Vcore so your only option to get 1.85 is by modding your processor, the socket with small wires, or the voltage regulator on the board to allow adjusting voltages above that. The easiest way I have found to do it, and it will void the warranty on the CPU, is to use a defogger kit or conductive pen to close all the L11 bridges which will default the Vcore to 1.85. You can adjust it back down in BIOS if the heat becomes a factor. There is no beta BIOS or other version for this board that will allow you to adjust more than .1 either way as far as I know. I have looked everywhere and never found one. Good luck.

External firewire 800 disk: Raid or non Raid?

Hi all,
I am currently about to by a new external firwire 800 hard disk to replace my firewire 400 200GB Maxtor. I mainly use this disk for timemachine backups and all my final cut express scratch area and work area. I am working with AVCHD video and looking to expand the storage and speed of this disk. I have narrowed my options down to two. They are both high quality options. I will be buying the enclosure and hard disks seperatly to ensure I get a good enclosure and good quality hard disk drive.
Enclosure options:
1. http://www.macpower.com.tw/products/hdd3/pleiades/pd_scombo.
Pleiades Super S-Combo, FireWire 400/800, USB 2.0, and eSATA interfaces. This enclosure uses Oxford 934DSb or Oxford 924DSb chipset. This is a single drive enclosure and non Raid. I would put a 1TB disk in this enclosure.
2. http://www.macpower.com.tw/products/hddmulti/taurus/pdd_raid2
Taurus Raid II enclosure. FireWire 400/800, USB 2.0 and USB 1.0 interfaces. This enclosure uses Oxford 934DSb or Oxford 924DSb chipset. This is a dual drive enclosure and Raid 0 and 1. I would put a two 500GB disks in this enclosure. But will use with mirroring such that a copy of data will reside on each disk. Whilst this will reduce the overal capacity to 500GB I will have the extra redundancy should a drive fail. From which I can just replace the failed drive.
I am aware that using Raid mirroring will slow down the data transfer to the disk enclosure but I think this should be ok for AVCHD editing for my purposes. Cost wise there is not much difference between the two options. In both options I will go for either Seagate Baracuda drive or Samsung Spinpoint.
Would like to know what your thoughts are?
Which options would you go for?

Hi all,
Ok so I decided to not go done the raid mirriring route. Instead I finally made a decision and boughts a Macpower FW800 enclousre which uses the Oxford 934 chipset and a Samsung HD103UJ 1TB Serial ATA 3.0 Gbps
buffer memory32 MB hard disk.
The enclosure is excellent quality and the disk access is very quick via FW800. The disk itself is very quiet and also great for Final Cut with my HD editing. Only noise the disk makes is upon power up other than that it is very quiet.
I have partitioned th disk into two 500GB's. One partition is used for time machine backups and the other is the Final Cut scratch space.
I plan to buy another enclosure and 1TB disk and parition into two 500GB's also. I plan to use one of the 500GB's for Super Duper clone of iMac system hard disk and the second for cloning/backing up the scratch Final Cut space. This second disk and enclosure will be my offline backup system and will not be powered all the time.
Details of the elcousre and hard disk are provided below. I purchased them in the UK. Enclosure was purchased from www.span.com and hard disk from www.ebuyer.com. Whilst span can sell disks in the enclosure you can save yourself a little money and buy seperatly from ebuyer and install yourself.

Conversion of ad20 non raid to a D20 raid 1 and keeping existing OS/data

I have a new D20 with windows 7-x64 pre installed on it. I purchased a second Lenovo supplied sata add in drive to convert the system to raid 1.
When I add the “raid 1” in support in the bios, the system when it reboots does not recognize the existing windows 7 partition.
When I used “other mfg” on board raid configuration, the working partition was considered the master partition and was automatically mirrored to the new added drive (making it raid1)
My expectation was that there would be either a “thinkvantage” tool that allowed you to do this from the OS, or there would be a some OS add on tool that performs this function
So my question.. Can you convert a d20 non raid to a D20 raid 1 (given drives are the same etc), and if so (I am a glass half full person), what is the process required to do so.
thanks
matt k.

if the marvell RAID controller hasn't been enabled, you'll need to install the driver. it can be found here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-73697
after this is installed, boot into the D20 BIOS and enable RAID. reboot again into the unconfigured drive and see if you can get into windows. if so, you can set up your RAID 1 array.
if you want to control RAID configuration from within windows, you'll need to install the marvell RAID utility found here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-73073

Getting low voltage from the Macbook Pro Case

I'm getting low voltage throughout the casing whenever the brick is plugged in my 2011 macbook pro 13". I can run my fingers across the case and get the 60hz hum from the ac current. Pretty neat effect, not sure if it's totally safe or not. I tried plugging it into several outlets and changed the surge protector, with no changes happening. Anyone else getting this issue? Thank you for listening!!!

I have exactly the same problem. How did you fix it?
Is it magsafe adapter issue?

Diamond Plus- Silicon Image controller set up single SATA 2 non raid "HELP"

Could somebody please tell me what drivers exactly do you have to load for Windows install off of the floppy? I loaded the silcon image 32 drivers at the install but the boot into windows takes a long time ! In bios SATA 1 SATA 2 are enabled -non raid for Silicon Image controller. Is their any kind of special procedure or trick for for useing the the controller non raid mode? Just added another HDD to my system formatted first with WD Lifeguard Tools and unhooked my othet drives and 1 of my dvd burners but for some reason It took like 2hrs 20 min too load windows when I specified additional drives their wer like 4-5 to choose from and the only non raid refference 1 was the first which I belive silicon image sys32 do you have to install all of them like the nvidea ones? man I had absolutely no problems setting up my 2- 80gb WD Caviars in raid 0 but the new 250gb WD caviar se16 is another story. ALL ARE SATA 2 DRIVES so I know that SATA 2 works on my board im useing it right now! Could any of the lLocal Forum Gurus with prior experience with the controller tell me exactly how to configure the set up NON RAID! PLLLLLLEASE.........
Thanks in advance

Thanks for all of you help Bas, and the quick responce! I was asking about which would be the prefered set up raid 0 on silicon image and sigle drive non raid on port 3-4 Nvidea or vice versa. I'm sure that it is a matter of prefference, but I do plan to overclock slightly when it cools down and I have done more reading on it! My primary goal is Stabilily and performance in harmonic balance whith out data corruption, or risking blowing things up! Any way hows life in Belgium? I have yet to travel to Europe, traveled to just about all of the states and lived on 2 of the Hawaiian Islands. So as you can tell Bas I am more partial to warm weather. I am quite a bit more in tuned with European culture than most people. My folks are from Australia and New Zealand so i'm not youre typical American! Shoot's Bro thanks for all of youre help and have a good weekend!!

Set up Mini with 2 drives (non Raid)

just purchased the new Mac Mini Server with 2 1TB drives. Can I set up as two (2) 1TB drives (non-Raid) one will be the main drive and the second used as Time Machine

I was hesitant to plug the machine and and set it up. Was trying to figure out if I should do a transfer from my current machine or use migration assistant once I'd started up the new Mini.
I finally called a local Mac Reseller and talked with their service tech. Out of the box, the new Mac Mini Server has two separate 1TB hard drives, one named "Server HD" and the other is named "Macintosh HD2". This is the exact configuration I'd hoped for. Now I can use the Server HD as my main drive, and Macintosh HD2 as my Time Machine backup drive.
Since I'd set up an "admin" account on initial setup (which I do on all my machines) I'll now use Migration Assistant to transfer over my main account from my current computer to the Mini.
Thank you for your help!

Portege R930: DDR3-1600 SDRAM Low voltage (1,35) or standard voltage 1,5

Hi again,
Just wanted to know if the two sorts of DDR3-1600 SDRAM RAMs (one is called low voltage memory) that are available on the market are compatible with my Portege R930 i7 Toshiba?
Thanks!!
Regards
/Anders

Just as additional info: for RAM upgrade you can use follow compatible RAM modules
4GB DDR3-1600 - PA5037U-1M4G
8GB DDR3-1600 - PA5037U-1M8G

P67A-G45 Raid on 2 disks plus non-raid on 3rd disk?

I have 2 HDDs I want to run in raid 0 and a 3rd SSD I want to run in non-raid. Is this possible on this mobo? If it is, how do I set up the BIOS because it seems to only let you choose one or the other. My previous board, Asus M4a78-e would let you set ports 1-4 to raid and port 5 to IDE.
One other question. I have a IDE dvd writer, is the only way to use this by using an ide to sata adapter?

I don't trust those adapters like that. Better to simply buy a new DVD/CD combo drive for $20.
This is the one I bought at newegg:

Low Voltage FB-DIMMs

A question for Apple:
Is the new 2008 Mac Pro compatible with low voltage (1.5V rather than 1.8V) FB-DIMMs?
For example, these: http://www.acmemicro.com/estore/merchant.ihtml?pid=5236&step=4
(I do realize that an Apple approved heatsink would have to be added).

Why take a chance? they don't mention ECC. There are other places with good prices.

Low Voltage

We have 2 Apple XServes and one of them is reporting Low Voltage on the CPU 1 Vcore at 1.21 volts. The second Vcore is reporting normal at 1.27 volts. The other XServe is reporting a normal voltage of 1.27volts on both Vcores.
Is this anything to worry about and what exactly is going? Any help or thoughts would be very much appreciated!
thanks in advance,
Bill

The word from Apple on this is that the voltage core thresholds are somehow hardcoded into the CPU itself. If you compare one box to another, the thresholds can be different.
While your number may not be out of spec for the G5 processor, it is possible to be out of spec for the thresholds preset in the processor. (Extremely annoying, no?)
My experience with this required that we swap out processors to fix the problem. Little else we tried would fix it, as there is no way to change the thresholds that System Monitor sees.

Low Voltage at "CPU 1 Core"

Our Apple Xserve is reporting (warning) Low Voltage on the CPU 1 Vcore at 1.21 volts. The second Vcore is reporting normal at 1.27 volts. The amusing is the warning is going out by e-mail when Retrospect is making an backup.
Is this anything to worry about and what exactly is going?
Please Help!
Thanks to you

Do you do anything else that uses both processors? I am just curious as to why only with Retrospect.
Yes, a low voltage warning is something to take seriously. Most likely your CPU, MB or power supply are about to take a dive.

Using IDE3 in non-RAID setup

Hi
I have a few questions regarding my setup which I hope some users who have or have had the same configuration can answer for me? I know that this post may turn out to be a bit long but I really would appreciate some help and answers from users who have been down this road please.
System:
MSI 875P Neo FIS2R (no overclocking)
Intel 2.40C Ghz P4 (800Mhz)
BIOS 1.7
Nvidia FX5200 AGP 8x
LG CDRW on IDE1 (Master)
LG DVD on IDE1 (Slave)
IDE2 - Nothing installed
Maxtor 20GB ATA133 on IDE3 (Master - Non-RAID)
Maxtor 80GB ATA133 on IDE3 (Slave)
With thanks to "mdc007", I have just setup my two Maxtor drives which were previously installed on IDE1, on IDE3 as master and slave, using the following method:
Enabled Promise controller in BIOS, setup Promise IDE "as S-ATA", boot into XP, install S-ATA drivers from Device Manager and reboot. Made sure drivers were installed. Turned off computerm connected Maxtor hard drives to IDE3 and turn on computer. enter BIOS and select Maxtor master drive as first boot device and then F10 to save and exit.
Everything worked just fine but I noticed on the POST screen that I had 1st IDE master/slave (CDRW/DVD), 2nd IDE master/slave (not installed), 3rd IDE master/slave (not installed), 4th IDE master/slave.
The drives on IDE3 are shown in Device Manager and I have a SCSI RAID Promise 378 S-ATA in Device Manager. The drives also appear to be opering correctly in XP.
Q: As my hard drives are on IDE3, why are they not shown on the POST screen?
(Note - both drives were shown on the next screen with UDMA6)
Q: Also in the mainboard BIOS, the drives are not shown connected to IDE3. Why? I tried choosing "AUTO" but that made no difference.
Q: With reference to the HDD LED, I was aware that the LED did not work with S-ATA drives on the Promise Controller at the moment but, although the HDD LED is on during POST, it shows no activity when booting into to XP or once on the desktop. Is this correct?
Q: With reference to the Intel IAA and IAA RAID latest software versions, I tried installing these and got a message which said something like "no compatible devices - software not supported on this chipset". Has anyone got this software to install or am I installing the incorrect version?
Q: I downloaded the correct version of IAA and I can't understand why it won't install so, which chipset is the message referring to?
Q: I have seen mention of the Intel 82801EB Ultra ATA Storage Controller, which my 875P has, and also the Intel 82801ER. Which board has the 82801ER?
Q: With reference to the "On chip ATA(s) Operate Mode" in the BIOS, with my setup as shown above, I would appreciate advice from users who have this setup working ok, about which options are best to enable/disable in this area:
* Mode: Legacy or Native?
* ATA Configuration: Disabled/P-ATA only/S-ATA only/P-ATA + S-ATA/Both
* S-ATA Keep enabled: Yes/No
* P-ATA Keep enabled: Yes/No?
* P-ATA Channel Selection: Primary/Secondary/Both?
* Combined Mode Option: P-ATA 1st Channel/S-ATA st Channel?
(this option depends on what other options you have choen above)
* S-ATA Ports Definition: PO-1st / P1-2nd - PO-2nd / P1-1st
PO-3rd / P1-4th - PO-4th / P1-3rd
(this option also depends on what other options you have chsoen above)
Q: With reference to PNP/PNP Configuration Option in the BIOS, with my new setup, should PCI IDE Bus Mastering be enabled?
BTW, about an hour after running my drives from IDE, I attempted to install the new drivers for the WinXP Promise SATA378 IDE Controller (from v1.00.16 to v1.00.29) and after reboot, the pc just kept rebooting and i had to choose "last known good configuration" and then once in windows, I got my first 'blue screen' with a message something like "IRQ less or equal to" etc, etc. Don't know if that relevant or not?
Regards

To answer a few of your questions,
Reason you can't see the devices on the Promise controller in the Bios is because the Promise controller has its own separate Bios(that's the one you get into by hitting control-F. The only link the main Bios has to it is the 1 setting(disabled, SATA, Raid). Also, you'll see the Promise devices listed in the boot devices setting although with unusual prefixes like "BBS Device 0" or something like that.
Note that the 1st-4th channels listed in the standard Cmos Features are for the Intel controller only(IE: 2IDE channels + 2SATA channels)
I know that the HDD light DOES NOT work for ANY SATA devices. I haven't used my IDE3 yet but it sounds like it doesn't work for that either. As far as I know, there is no work-around for this. Unbelievable, isn't it?
For your setup:
Native Mode for WinXP
Pata Only (you're not using the SATA's)
Keep SATA enabled: Yes(only if you are overclocking and can't lock AGP/PCI frequency. Don't know why, but this has worked for many of us.)
Pata enabled should be greyed out with above settings.
Pata channels: Just primary if that's all you're using but "both" would work too.
Combined Mode: greyed out
SATA ports def: greyed out or leave default.
Not 100% sure on your other questions but I think IAA is not required on this board and IAA-Raid version will only install if you have the controller configured for Raid in the Bios. I don't think you need either with your setup. I don't have either installed atm.
I'm not sure of the difference between the 82801EB & ER but device manager lists all the 82801EB devices for me and everything seems fine.
Hope that helps out a little.
Didn't see Danny's post above when I wrote this but I pretty much agree with everything. I have Bus Mastering on but only because it sounded like a good thing and everything seems fine with it on. (I think I read somewhere that it speed up data transfers when you're running in DOS-IE: Booting Ghost or Drive Image etc off the CD/Floppy). Never really tested though.

How to get Sil 3114 to be NON raid on Neo4 platinim

Ive searched all day to try and find this answer with no luck. I even saw a post or 2 on the forum here that were not totally resolved. I want to use the orange usb sil3114 as a normal non raid sata. It shows up now during bootup because i enabled it in the bios, but it wont work as jbod because when I go into the utility that is not an option so the drive I connect to it wont work.

http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&prod_no=165
Reading below carefully I get the impression, that BIOS will not see the disk.
SiL chapter is no 6 in the manual. Since you have so many disks already I dare not give any advice of my own:
Before installing the SATARAID5 software, Silicon Image Serial ATA host adapter
driver must be installed. Insert MSI driver CD into the computer’s CDROM drive and
select Silicon Image SATA RAID Drivers.
The Java 2 Runtime Environment is required for the SATARAID5 GUI. The Java 2
Runtime Installer and executable package must be downloaded from the Sun
Microsystems website at http://java.sun.com/j2se/downloads.html. The computer
must have an Internet connection set up before installation can proceed.
Save the installer file to a known location, such as the My Documents folder. Using
Windows Explorer or by clicking on the My Computer icon on the desktop, select
the installation file and open it. The installation will begin. The installer program will
download the needed files from the Internet.
Creating JBOD
Since BIOS no longer reports non-RAID drives to the system BIOS, if a non-RAID
boot drive or data drive is desired, a JBOD
can be created so BIOS will report it to the system BIOS.
1. To create a JBOD, Select ”Create RAID set”
2. Select “JBOD” and press Enter.
3. Select JBOD drive from the physical drive list and press Enter.
4. Select JBOD size with and keys.
5. After the JBOD size is set, the message “Are You Sure?” will display before
completing the configuration. Answer “N” to abort the creation of the JBOD, or “Y”
to proceed with the JBOD creation.
Resolving Conflicts
When a RAID set is created, the metadata written to the disk includes drive
connection information including the channel on the host adapter to which it is
connected. If after a disk failure the replacement disk was previously part of a
RAID set or used in another system, it may have conflicting metadata, specifically
in reference to the drive connection information. If so, this will prohibit the RAID set
from being either created or rebuilt. In order for the RAID set to function properly,
this old metadata must be first overwritten with the new metadata. To correct this,
select “Resolve Conflict” and the correct metadata, including the correct drive
connection information; will automatically be written to the replacement disk.
1. Select “Resolve Conflicts” and press Enter.
2. Select the “Conflict” entry in the Logical Drive Status window and press Enter.
3. Note that some conflict resolutions may result in the drive letter assignment
changing; for example the RAID set may have been drive D: but after the conflict
resolution, it may become drive E. Be aware of this when performing a conflict
resolution. To maintain the same drive lettering, the SATA cables connected to the
drives may need to be swapped, or in the case of a SATA-based removable drive
unit, the order of the drives within the chassis made need to be changed.
Press ‘Y’ to accept the change and resolve the conflict.
4. The conflict will be resolved. The RAID Set will appear in the Logical Drive
window.
Reserved Drive and Setting Size for RAID Set, Spare Drive, or
JBOD
Once a physical drive has been used to create a RAID set, spare drive, or JBOD
by BIOS utility, BIOS saves user selected set or drive size in the reserved area of
the physical drive. There is no way to remove the reserved area information even
after the user deletes the set or drive. For this reason, after a set or drive is
deleted, BIOS recognizes the physical drive as a reserved logical drive and it will
not report the drive to the system BIOS.
When user selects to create a RAID set, spare drive, or JBOD, he or she has to
select size for the set or drive. BIOS will set a default size for it and user can use
the and keys to change the size. If the physical drive has never been used to
create a set or drive by the BIOS before, the full size of the physical drive will be
set as default size. Otherwise, BIOS will set default size to the size it saved in the
reserved area of the physical drive before.
If the user wants to increase the default size, BIOS will display a warning
message in the help window and for user’s response
before changing the default size.
