I still use two ARC-8040 boxes which deploy the ARC-1880 card. One of them is 36TB (8x HGST HUS726060AL5210 ) and the other is 18TB (8x SEAGATE ST33000650SS)., i.e. both are using fairly contemporary high capacity HDD models and they work fine. You should check the HDD compatibility document for...

Is this a first time installation or did it used to work, and now it suddenly doesn't? It seems to be a HW issue either with the card or the motherboard. Have you updated the card's Firmware recently? Anyway, it might be a good idea to get in touch with Areca Support if your Firmware...

Try this: Use the original 1G RAM stick Disconnect the BBU (if you use one). Disconnect all HDDs (unplugg the cables from the card) Start the PC with the card in the same PCIe as before. IF IT WORKS OK: Reconnect the HDDs and reboot. - If NOT Ok check the HDD Power from PSU incl. cables...

Ok, thanks! See my reply @ OCN then (I'm leaving this thread here).

Hi. I'm experiencing faulty CPU Power (Package) reading when I disable the CPU SVID Support in the BIOS. It persistently shows CPU Power around 0.58W regardless which tool is used to monitor that, and goes back to showing normal CPU Power values when I enable CPU SVID Support again. This is a...

That's heavy stuff, man! My entire household uses less than 1 gigawatt per year :) (No offense! I just couldn't help it...)

PROBLEM SOLVED! HARD RESEATING OF EACH RAM MODULE REPEATEDLY DID THE TRICK! Thanks a lot to "rbbunmc" at Overclock.net who tipped me about that particular solution! Btw he uses the exact same memory kit (F4-2800C15Q2-64GRK) so now we know that it works on X99-E WS board. See his post...

Just started working on my new X99-E WS rig with 64GB DDR4 RAM and i7-5960x CPU. Whatever I do, the MB only recognizes 48GB of the RAM. However, when I run CPU-Z it gets all the 8 RAM modules, each with correct details! So it is the MB that cannot see the all 64GB for some reason. A search...

Hi guys, Revealing the secrets of R4E has been a painful experience for me, and I decided to share with you what I've learned for what it's worth. This might prove useful for R4E owners, and probably others as well (Certified OC gurus may find this less interesting.) First of all, I...

Thanks Raja! You've been a great pal and advisor. Since I can't make R4E "think" like me, I had to adapt myself to its thinking... I believe I have the solution in sight but ... let me recheck and test this thoroughly, before spamming the forum any further... I'll be back. Really!

Thanks pal, much appreciated. Your conclusion makes a lot of sense. However, the R4E board have 2x BIOS and I've tried them both... BUT I'm beginning to see what's going on... I'll be back :)

No such luck, it didn't work out... BUT I'm beginning to see a weird pattern here: 1) After making some suggested change, the R4E eventually would start booting. 2) Then for a substantial period of time, regular (dozens!) of flawless reboots/restarts would follow (so the change must have been...

Could it be USB? I replaced my Logitech G15/G9 gear with my good old KeyTronic (PS2) and a simple Logitech mouse... Haven't had any code 19 halts yet. It's ridiculous if it's turn out that R4E - The ROG King - doesn't handle regular gaming gear like G15/G9 ... lol Interesting observation is...

Absolutely. Very valid point. After adding the WC, the rig continued working fine for almost a week. I've rechecked carefully the entire build, and there were never any leaks too, so ... Also the temperatures and all component status/data reports have been consistently fine. Of course, you never...

Hmmm... I've been wondering myself about the GEN3 on the VGA (slot 1) since I've had a few code 94 (PCIe enumeration) cases in between, but I was preoccupied with the code 19 trouble. Maybe those are interrelated? I'll definitely test what you're suggesting. Thank you so much! Maybe I...
