RMA chips aren't necessarily dogs, probably just as good a chance you got a winner as you've got a loser, so wtf lol

I use 4 sticks on both sides on my RIVE for gaming, no problems. don't think you stress the IMC until you overclock

COOL COOL!
well upon chip return my Raid will not start, with the OS disc I can enter in, so now I'm backing it up so I can delete this but save my game files. Not sure how to reformat as clearly the Raid I'm using ain't cutting it!!!I guess I'll just use them side by side to form one big HD with out the raid(suggestions welcome). I try to keep my game stuff off of it but when they install even after pointing them to another disc they put stuff on my main HD, I have tried several times to move them but always end up re install the GOD DAMN GAME UGH!@
Any who thanks all for your help, hope to be back up in action again soon!!

Is your RAID enabled in your bios? Just asking cause I've forgotten to enable it before myself. That doesn't sound like something that should happen.

Understand and yes it is. I went to delete the raid last night and It will not show me the intel screen even though its in RAID mode witch I checked after it went straight to the windows Splash screen. Now it just randomly losses settings in the bios, or changes boot drives. Asus RMA is the worst!!
replaced the CPU replaced the Ram, only thing left is the board with a bad Raid controller, hell if I knew witch chip, I'd try replacing it myself! Unless its the Intel SSD'S? May need a firmware up date? I'll check there site............:good:

UpdATE: down loaded Intel firm ware update tool with the latest firm ware for my drive, it said my SSD is up to date then shut down............ UGH!

well I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT, I have a crunched corner on my motherboard from shipping from RMA so I AM SOA. As I know Asus warranty........

UGH!

the crunched corner..................:ohcrap:

Poopsicles, jew no spose to eat jew mudderbored PhIlLy!

LOL!
Well now RMA has literally blocked me from there system. Awesome customer services!!

WTF i'd call them bud.

Just did not answer, I can't do anything..................FAWKING PISSED!:ohcrap: No reply to my emails. I contacted FedeX but I'm sure I wont get squat with out Asus as far as helping me. I was gonna go on a binge here soon with it as I'm licking my chops over these POTS I got from a VERY GOOD MEMBER, Picture porn now. So I started making my bench table out of old scrap Plexiglass I have laying around, need a template so I have something to go by.

Wanna keep this up front for a while...............
