Hmm, not really to comfortable with the BIOS on this.

I've got Vista installed however I'm seeing poor HDD scores even though I've downloaded the chipset drivers. What's the best BIOS settings for RAID? The Intel RAID programme also takes an age during boot.

Voltages, what are the auto voltages on this board? What should I be setting them all too? Having major trouble getting even a 333x9 overclock, though I think it might be the RAM set at too tight a timing. Can't even find where to edit them either!

Also, where's the best location to download the chipset drivers from? I'm used to just going straight to NVidia.com lol. Installed the drivers that are on the Gigabyte website.

Cheers.
 
i had to press ctrl+f1 at the bios main screen to be able to alter the timings, (im on a ds3p though, but they are similar to ds4's).
 
What raid did you use 0 /1? And did you use the orange ports? Orange are intel chipset one,s and its the fastest my disk have ever worked with gigabytes website drivers.

Memory auto is 1.8 volt and had to +0.2 volt for me. CPU default don't trust what so ever and when set to what ever the setting below1.5 was rock stable giving me 1.47 in widows. MCP and FSB voltage had no effect for bettering my over clock so best left to normal. Found disabling speed step and the C1E helped a lot.

Cheers mate. Yeah I'm using the Intel ports, still getting less then 90MB/s with three Raptors in RAID 0, think there's a setting or something that's slowing it down.

Thanks for the admive on the overclock mate, will have a little play.

What about mem timings? Still can't access them.
 
Ctrl and F1 at the same time but it has to be in the opening screen of the bios. It wont open the extra options if you are in any of the menu's. Screen should do a quick flicker.

Well unsurprisingly Intel is also the place to go for the chipset drivers-

-Chipset
-RAID
 
Sorry, I didn't mean it to sound as condescending as it came out :)

Gigabyte aren't too bad when it comes to updating the list of drivers on their site. But their site can be very slow, and download speeds are often even worse.

Hi,

If I were setting up a new RAID system from scratch would you recommend that I use the above drivers rather than the ones which came with my mobo? (I have a GIGA GA-P35-DS4 mobo)

are both of those drivers you hyperlinked compatible with my mobo?

Thanks
 
Glad to help :)

For anyone who updated to the F8 bios and there fans will not go to full speed
Gigabyte have sent me F9c bios to fix it if anyone wants it
