    Gigabyte 880-GA UD3H Which REV?

    Than you for your reply. What kind of problems have you been having. I have had poblems as well. Just out of the blue the system does some abrupt shutdowns. I think there might be something with the raid controller. I'm thinking of either frying a seperaye raid controller or boot from a non...

    Hard Disk Procedures and Operation

    May i expand some questions for RAIDing? I just created my first RAID yesterday on 2x SSD's. What's the importance of RAID size? My mobo has a sata 3 and 2 RAID controllers. On SATA 3 the default stripe size is 64k while on SATA 2 it's 128. I left the default of 64 for these 2 SSD's. BTW each...

    Hard Disk Procedures and Operation

    Thank You very much, that covers everything! Oh and one last thing. Where is the drive letter information stored? On the Operating system or the disk itself?

    Suggestion for Silent PSU

    Specs. AM3 Mobo with Athlon 64 II x4 640, with 2x 2GB dd3 sticks, and a passive 5770 radeon card. I dont believe i forgot anything. I wont be overcklocking or doing anything heavy duty. I think even the lowest wattage should be fine. Even my overclock 920 with nvidia gtx275 and 12gb ram doesnt...

    Hard Disk Procedures and Operation

    I see, thank you for getting back to me with detailed answers to my questions. -Think is that i just formatted my 2TB (on sata2 port) and it took more than 10 hours! I started the procedure this morning at 11, and it finished a few minutes ago at 9:30. If it's just error scanning that it is...

    I would like to ask some quick questions about HDDs. -What's the difference between quick and full format?

At the begininng I thought i should just grab the PSU from my OLD PC, an TAGAN 530 easyconnect, just to shave a few euros, but then i said, since everything is going to be new why should this be...

    Gigabyte 880-GA UD3H Which REV?

    thank you for your reply but it seems i was misunderstood. I was actually asking about the actual differences in features-functionality between the difference revisions. No matter how hard i've tried i cant seem to learn what these might be!

    Gigabyte 880-GA UD3H Which REV?

    I know it's a silly question but how can i tell what the differences are between rev 2.1 and 2.2? I just ordered one and i'm told i'm getting the 2.1. Is it not as good as the 2.2?
