My PC

Hello,

Recently I got my new pc from DS. I can not express in words, how pleased I am with it. I will definitely buy the second rig from DS, when the time comes! It works great! Ran crysis 2 maxed out and crysis 1. No lag at all. I would like to say a big thank to all of you, who helped me with my computer! I really appreciate your help guys. Keep it up! BTW, I cannot post pics now, (waiting to get my new iphone 4G, which has better camera over 3G) As soon as I will get it, I will post asmany pics, as you guys would like!

A few Questions:

In the Bios setting, I found that VCCIO is set to 1.20000v as max voltage, but the system supports only 1.7000v, as it says in the bios. Current speed is at 1.205v. Same with my VCCSA, it set to 1.20000, bios limit is still 1.7000v max. Current work at 1.200v. Why did DS put those setting if they are not supported by mobo? Also, in the different tutorials, people did not touch those settings at all, because of the little overcklock. So, should I change those settings ot leave it as it is? I would really appreciate your help guys. Feel free to improve me, if I am wrong.

Thank you, Regent Square

My cpu voltage is 1.152, working at 3.9 ghz.

Thanks for advice. I have a last question, regarding boot drives: the boot drive is set to the optical drive and the second boot drive is set to the intel 120 gb ssd, is it how it should be?
Also, while the start up, it says that there is no physical drive, does anyone know what it means? Thank you

I changed it, no results, still saying no physical drive. My intel ssd and hdd are both plugged into native intel 6GB/s ports. May it be because of that?

I can boot into windows and my hard drives are displayed and work properly. The only thing i have is that, while start up, it says that there is no physical drive.

That is a situation I am in, no other problems.

So, that it is how it should be, or in order to resolve the problem I have to reinstall mobo drivers or connect hdd to the another port?

Yes, exactly.

Yep, probably it is better to ignore it. Who knows, what will happen if I will disable something in bios. I heard that after someone disabled it, his pc did not find a harddrive, so I will better leave it. BTW, should I keep my boot set up 1 from ssd and second from cd rom? Cause DS, put cd rom originally as a 1 boot device.

Thanks

75-80 is fine.. The 570 is designed to run at that temp on full load.

Oh, so I have to deal with MSI afterburner and set fan profile there? i did it once already and what happened was that every time I closed msi, my fan speed came back to stock. When I open it, fan speed goes up immediately. So I have to keep msi afterburner open in order to fan to work at the speed I set it?

Thanks

Big thank you for your help, DST4ME. Now i am having gtx 570 wit a fan profile set to 50% under load. BTW, is my fan will always work on this speed while gaming, which i do alot, will the performance of the fan decrease?

Thanks

Ok, big thank you for your help, DST4ME. Honestly, DS forum is the only one which is very user friendly. DS for the win!
