MSI X58 Pro - I'm having trouble setting up my first Raid 0 Array

Hey guys! I have an i7 920, X58 Pro, 3x2GB DDR3, Radeon 5850, 640GB WD Black (Windows 7 64 bit + applications) and 1TB Samsung F3 (backup) system and I'm having trouble setting up a raid 0 array. I recently decided to purchase two additional 1TB Samsung F3 harddrives in order to create a raid 0 array, while still keeping my original two harddrives separate. I installed the new harddrives today, installed the JMicron drivers that were on the drivers disk that came with my motherboard, went into the bios, and changed it from IDE to RAID. I then went into the raid bios, selected the two new harddrives and selected raid 0, saved everything and tried to load Windows and Windows refuses to boot up. I got an option to try fixing Windows but that didn't end up fixing anything. Finally, I was forced to go back into the bios and switch it from RAID back to IDE just to get Windows to boot up again. Does anyone know what I need to do in order to get this raid 0 to work? Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Perhaps create a software RAID? You can do it in Windows through Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Computer Management --> Disk Management.

Unable to boot with MSI X58 PRO-E and OCZ3P1333LV6GK

Hi,
This is my first post in this forum.
I've had this system for about 6 months, and from time to time I kept having instant reboots and once the PC would never start, I think I've sorted that by first flashing an old MB BIOS and then the most recent.
Tree days ago I've had another instant reboot, but now the system stops/reboots when the coloured animation starts to appear above the "Loading windows" message. This happens with both Win7 32 & 64 bits and even with the windows 7 installation DVD !!!
I think I've tried all combinations of the other posts where the MB+memory was the same as mine.
Another strange issue is: the memory PN shown inside the BIOS (OCZ3G1333LV2G) is different from the label on the memory (OCZ3G1333LV6GK)!!
I've already tested with only one memory chip at a time, the result is still the same.
I've only got connected the following: Video board, 1 RAM chip, USB Keyboard & one SATA HD. No over clocking whatsoever !
What else do I need to do to finally boot to windows ?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Paulo
My System:
Mobo: MSI X58 Pro-E, model MS-7522, version 3.1
BIOS: 8.B
CPU: Intel i7 920
RAM: OCZ3G1333LV6GK (6GB)
Video: Sapphire Vapor-X ATI RAdeon HD 4870 2GB
PSU: Combat Power CP 750W
OS: Windows 7 32 & 64 bits

Hi Henry,
Thanks for the help.
"What are your RAM timings? Screenshot of CPU-Z Memory tab and SPD tab."
I've added a few screenshots of the memory, the SPD & CPU-Z tab, plus a MEM86 test with only on memory stick installed. It appears that the memory is OK... or not ?
"Do you have another video card you can try? Those Sapphire Vapor-X cards have been a problem for others in the past."
I wasn't aware of any problems with this video card, I use it mainly to send movies to my big LCD TV through the HDMI port. I don't have access to another video card, sorry...
I don't know what else to do, do you think it's the PSU ?
Regards,
Paulo

Building new system, MSI X58 Pro-E, i7 920, GTX 295, 6gb, Thermalright e-120

Hello, I was hoping for some advice on this rig, to overclock or not, etc; Im a bug gamer, so its really about gaming to the max 1st,
Heres the brand new parts;
MSI X58 Pro-E (In the box, just arrived, do not know bios yet)
i7 920
Patriot Extreme Viper PVT36G1600ELK 6GB DDR3 9-9-9-24
eVGA GTX295 1792mb CO-OP edition
Thermalright extreme e-120 cpu cooler (Jesus that thing is huge)
Im going to re-use this stuff:
2x500gb seagate HDD sata raid 0 for performance
Antec 900 case Lots of fans...nice
DVD RW
Corsair TX750W Says 60A on a single +12v rail (I think its good, only @ a year or so old)
SB X-FI Fatality gamer sound card
So, basically should I look to OC this setup a bit? maybe to like 3 GHz or so? If so, whats the "safest" method to OC? I have an excellent cpu cooler and a case that has a ton of fans in it so hopefully I should be good for cooling.
Do I just OC the CPU? Will the memory run at its top speeds with this chip? or do I need to do something for the memory also, I recally for some reason on my current PC with a 780i SLI evga mobo I had to set the ram timins manually, they were never picked up properly on "auto", will I have that also on the MSI board?
I hope Ive provided enough information to get started.
Thank you for any help!
Oh, I plan to build this baby the following weekend as I am working the next 2 weeks straight...meh

Yes, why not?
Do not be aiming for 3 GHz, you can run that on stock voltage. 4 GHz is more within the grasp of the TRUE 120.

There's only one way to overclock - overclock... There is no safe way of doing it...

The only way you can overclock a CPU without overclocking anything else is with an extreme edition CPU. (The i7 965, for example.) It's overclocked by raising the CPU multiplier, not the baseclock frequency.
With regular CPUs, you overclock the baseclock, which overclocks the CPU core, CPU uncore, memory, and QPI frequency.

Extremely doubtful.
I hope I've answered your questions. I can be more thorough if you wish to know more. Of course, Google can tell you more than I ever could.

MSI X58 Pro SLI not working - solved

Just wanted to post my experience of the last couple days here so that hopefully google and the other spiders will grab it in case other people have the same problem I was having.
I have an MSI X58 Pro, and was running a single GeForce 8800GT for a long time. I grabbed a second one on ebay thinking an SLI setup it would be a snap to install. I came to find out that the bios version on my motherboard supported Cross Fire out of the box, but no SLI support. When I had the MSI website do an automatic scan, it came back that the most up to date bios version for my board was 7.xx, but the version that supported SLI was 8.xx. I was close to throwing in the towel, but found some threads here pointing to the download and use of the MSIHQ USB Bootable Tool and BIOS helper. I manually downloaded the v 8.E bios update, had the tool create a bootable usb thumb drive, updated the bios without any drama and bingo, SLI is now working on my machine.
Big props and my thanks to the guys who made this tool, I owe you a cold one!

Thank you very much for the glowing post. Yes, we are very proud of the Forum Flasher and have been trying to get MSI to officially adopt it as well.

Help overclocking MSI X58 Pro-E with a i7 920 co stepping

Good evening everyone, I would like some help with getting the best overclock I can with my rig. This is what I have: Msi X58 Pro-E, Intel core i7 920 co stepping, Corsair Hydro H50 cooler, 3 x 2 gb Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600 c9, EVGA GTX260-216 SC 896mb, 1 TB Western Digital 32cache Hard drive SATA, Lite-on DVD/RW with Lightscribe, OCZ Stealthxstream 600 watt PSU. Running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Currently it says that the memory is only running at 500 mghz. I can use all the help I can get. From what I have read it should overclock fairly well. Thanks for your help John

Currently it says that the memory is only running at 500 mghz.
Using CPU-Z? If so, 500x2=1000. For a simple OC without having to do much of anything, change bclk to 166/167. Be sure to disable Spread Spectrum in bios Cell Menu. Go up from there until it fails to post. Add a step or two of CPU voltage & check for post again. At some point, RAM speed becomes a factor, & other voltages & settings join in the mix. Primarily, the main items involved are bclk, CPU & RAM voltage, QPI voltage sometimes at some point, RAM timings, Memory & Uncore Ratios. Other than that, disable Overspeed Protection, C-State, Turbo on or off, EIST on or off. Most important, know the operating temp & voltage limits.

MSI X58 Pro Overlocking and Voltages

Hi guys new here in the forums i would like to seek assistance or some bios pics in overclocking Intel Core i7 920/MSI x58 Pro 3.2GHz-3.8GHz. what would be the correct voltage for the ICH and IOH(on default values and for the above-mentioned speeds). your help is much appreciated thanks in advance

Disable Spread Spectrum & Extreme Memory Profile in bios Cell Menu. Disable Overspeed Protection in bios Advance Bios Features-CPU Features. Since RAM speed increase with base clock increases, you will have to 'experiment again to get the RAM stable. Set Mem. Ratio to 5, Uncore Ratio to 12, adjust DRAM, voltage & timings accordingly, set base clock to 166 or 167, leave all voltages (other than your RAM), on default. This should give you around 1660 RAM speed & 3.33G's, with Turbo, around 3.5G's .

CPU Vcore is 1.264V and sometimes it jumps to 1.272V
In BIOS, left to "auto" where you set VCore?
Have you found the reason or a solution for high temps?
According to Intel website, Tcase max is 67.9c, this means core temps should be around 70c no more, you will need them at 50-55c at stock to be able to overclock.

MSI X58 Pro: HDD LED does not work for S-ATA drive

Hi,
I've got a problem with my brand new MSI X58 Pro: I've got an S-ATA HDD (Samsung 640GB) and an S-ATA DVD drive (Pioneer) installed in a Compucase 6X Miditower. There is NO(!) IDE drive. I don't get the HDD LED to work! I've tried everything including a BIOS update to 7.1 - the LED stays out.
I found some reports in the internet from people having a similar problem: no HDD LED for S-ATA drive activity.
Is there anybody else having this problem? Isn't that possible in general? Is that a problem of the board? The HDD drive?
Greetings,
Michael

You are talking about the status LED on your case, right?
- Is it properly connected to the right pins on the correct header?
- Double-check for +/- pins and make sure the plug is not connected the wrong way.
- Make sure, the LED is not defective.
- Make sure the cables are not defective.
- Make sure there is no problem with the pin-plug to the board.

HT204053 I am having trouble setting up icloud on MAC. In system preference it is listed as mobile me, it asks for member name and password. It also has a learn more button under "try mobileme for free". I am not getting anywhere

I am having trouble setting up icloud on MAC. In system preference it is listed as mobile me, it asks for member name and password. It also has a learn more button under "try mobileme for free". I am not getting anywhere

It's evident that you are using Snow Leopard or earlier (or very early Lion) since you have the now obsolete MobileMe preference pane.
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.

Is anyone else having trouble setting up messages with the new mountain lion software? I keep getting a notification that i cant sign in and it is saying, check network connection and try again, but i have full wifi bars, thanks, Justin

Having trouble setting up my website. It's probably a silly mistake.

So I've registered a domain and hosting plan with A Simple Orange which had a pretty good deal since I had a coupon for 20% off. I've tried using Joomla to manage my website, but I couldn't get the hang of it. So I'm trying out iWeb 09' now and just having trouble setting it up. I've gone to me.com and added my website and added the CNAME correctly I hope. Here is a picture. http://imgur.com/XI8Lw.png
Next I opened iWeb and setup MobileMe in the preferences panel. I've tried publishing the information from iWeb to my website, but my home page doesn't change. You can see here at RyanSchefer.com that it's just plan

No. Your CNAME setting is not correct. The CNAME and web.me.com are correct with web.me.com being your host. However, your domain name is incorrect - don't understand why you have put mobileme before it? You just enter either your domain name on its own so domain.com or you need to set up two separate CNAME entries, one being for www, CNAME, web.me.com and then one being @, CNAME, web.me.com. The @ stands for your domain name and the www is your sub domain.
Try altering this and it should work okay.

Having trouble setting up email accounts in the mail app?

Hi Apple community,
I am having trouble setting up my email accounts with the osX mail application. I have two accounts, an outlook and my college email through google. When I try to add the outlook account the prompt says that it cannot connect to the server and when I try my college mail i get the following prompt.
"Trying to log in to the Exchange server “autodiscover-s.outlook.com” failed. Make sure the email address and password you entered are correct, then click Continue."
Please note that my college account is run by gmail and ends in murraystate.edu
Thanks, Will.

Hey will,
okay for your college email. Heres what you do.
Try adding your email and wait for the message to come up
Trying to log in to the Exchange server “autodiscover-s.outlook.com” failed. Make sure the email address and password you entered are correct, then click Continue."
Once it does, you will notice 2 extra boxes One says username and the other password. You will notice that the username will not have @murraystate.edu
Add this and continue and this should now be added as an email account and should be able to receive emails as normal.
For your outlook emails, I would recommend using the following article to set it up. It is fairly straightforward.

Having trouble setting up network

Hi guys,
I just recently moved to a new house and am having trouble setting up the network with my airport extreme. There is a cable modem that is networked to the house so that every room has an outlet.
I connected the airport to one of the outlets with my macbook and when I create network, I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly even though the macbook detects a network when I set it up with bridge mode. But hard wired through the router I can surf the web as I am doing right now.
When I hit share an IP address, the internet does not work at all. It seems to work fine with my old netgear router, but would prefer using the airport.
I've also reset the airport as well with still no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Have you tried powering down the modem for 5 min and then turning on with the ethernet connected to the WAN port of airport extreme?
