Akasa A-62 AMD x6 *Zosma* build

May I ask what OS these drives were running before? Was it XP?

If so you may want to consider running that for the time being. It's not as slick as win7 but it should get the job done and will play most of your games fine.

Nope, windows 7
and i dont have a copy of windows 7 sp3 64bit around, if i did i would have used it by now, ive only got 32 bit sp1 i think

cleared rtc (bios ram)

Just give up on RAID0 for now, especially with old drives. One dies then poof, everything gone

The real world benefits are minimal. I'd use the drive without the broken clip as a boot disk (make sure you dismantle the array, swap to AHCI then unplug all but one drive) then try the other when Windows is installed

wi8ll do
as xp goes, i dont have a floppy to load the drivers, and secondly it bsod's when loading windows
 
cant see it in ide either.....
time to start trobleshooting... starting with ym lian li drive hotswap

Edit: good news it istn my £40 hotswap bay :L

okay, ive tested with a ide hdd, and it shows in bios, not time to see wehater it will show under windows install :L

EDIT: windows show ide drives... :/

I'll repeat what I said earlier, and it's not an insult, KISS. Keep It Simple, Stupid! It's good practice, and adhered to in many professional IT environments :p

im am,minimal setup... windwos files coppyed but are taking a while to expand :L
still at (0%)...
 
Well, success or horrific electrical death?

Mr icute shot a ball of fire and i died..
Nahhh just kidding, ive been up since 7am trying to get the running windows...
So last night i left you with the fact i had managed to find it under a windows set-up... this was not AHCI, this was ide mode, but it stuck on zero for ages so i went to bed, this morning, ive tried raid again, and also tried AHCI, but ive found niehter work so will have to Sacrifice permanence's in ide mode with sata hard drives untill i get a new motherboard as this one seems a lil bit *bricked should be the polite way of putting it.
Anyway, so im running a install in ide, but my second copy of windows 7 is a lil scratched, therefore it give me a corrupted file error,m and at the moment im tearing my room apart trying to find my other x64 cd
 
sorry to tell you ZZZAC, but i lost interest in this thread after reading you got your CPU....

not realy bothered, i had a lot of silly problems, i think the motherboard raid controller is like partially broken or something, (not working)
 
So is your PC officially working and done now?

(ie can you run IBT and furmark without issue and have you tried playing a recent game?)

play AOE3 wuth no problems
ran heaven 2.5 on max
prim 95'ed, temps all loking good.
I have just one question, im trying to achive a stable 3.7ghz, and i get freezez and bsod's no mater how much voltage i give it, could it just be a bad clocking chip?
 
Yea, that could be the limit of your chip. Pretty good considering. How are the temps?

What is the highest clockspeed you can get it stable?

was booting at 3.6ghz, but would occasionally freeze, i think the chip isnt great for clocking, but that's still 800mhz,
will try and get that stable tomorrow, temps on gpu are great, i may squeeze a bit more on gpu memory, but atm its idling at 34oC after 6 hours
as for cpu will prime test for temps in the morning, but it is currently idling at around 39oC and takes a fair bit to get it past 40oc, even when iw sa priming at 3.6 before the crash i got 44oc.
Im very dispassionted in myself about the zosma chip, all i had to do to hit 4ghz was change the multiplier and ration, unlocked, i wish i had taken you're advice on not getting the msi board.

And i need a new sound card as i think i blew it up (my audigy is not recognised in windows)
 
You had no guarantees on the overclock you would get with the zosma. You need to understand that overclocks are never guaranteed, its luck of the draw.
Always have to have a laugh when I read about chips being poor clockers. "I only got another 800mhz..." LOL...

i know i know, but that was a battle for stability, so ive left it at 3.5ghz witch is 700mhz, but i guess in the same area a 700mhz over clock would take that 970 zosma to 4.2ghz, and i think it may of been able to do that as well

My rams set at just over 1600mhz, and my nb is @ 2.44ghz, and i think my voltage is really high somink edging 1.5v

as for the onboard audio myne doesnt give me any output atall with the latest drivers on any line, not even teh headphones, but the mixer says its outputting. i think its a bit stuffed, i mean the entire motherboard but its stable and after 10 minutes of prime 95 it hasnt hit above 50oC

Vcore= 1.476, but when i was trying 3.6ghz i had it up to 1.52 and it still wasnt stable :L
