Wow! Thank you so much, guys. That's a lot of resources and info. I appreciate it. Some forums truly suck! And then some, truly come through... I will work on the info and do some related research. Meantime, anything that runs about $100/TB will be too painful to achieve at the moment. I need...

I have one 10TB drive, 6x 8TB drives, 4x 6TB drives, and 2x SSDs. I might later consider one backup-related RAID for the system SSD. I am also hoping in the near future that I would populate more SSDs and some 16Gb/s SAS drives in my system. And maybe some M.2 devices... But while we are at...

How come?

Hi, I found myself in need of a SAS expander card to accommodate my Z590 series motherboard that I am running an audio workstation with. Which only comes with 6 HDD Bays. I am not going to RAID. I need 6 ports. So they are gonna be 12 total with my MOBO. They should support at least 8 TB...

I believe I did reset CMOS prior to upgrading to the latest BIOS. But I'll check it, for sure. I am on a different PC at the moment.

Hi, I have not experienced the errors so far, after reducing my HDMI cables with an extension plug to a single one. But, I have received a response from Asus service that claiming I would not get those errors due to an HDMI cable error. As disappointing as this sounds, I have one single hope...

I have to repeat few times to be sure. I am not able to do that right now.

Probably but it did work once in a while. But do you know if the errors would happen with bad cable?

Hi, yes I meant iGPU... I was using an HDMI extension thingy and when I removed it and connected with a single cable I was able to boot. But my main concern is to know if the cable is bad would I get the errors? The whole shabang: Beeps and the white light but since the POST is completed no Q...

Rog Maximus XIII HERO It's a simple but very crucial question for me. This has been happening for a while now! I had bend CPU pins, thus I got the VGA error. (One long three short beeps and white light) I had the motherboard RMA'ed, fixed. And occasionally I am still getting the same errors...

Also, all my parts are compatible. I did my research! Matter of fact, both Asus and Corsair gave me their blessings personally. Asus put some 128 GB Corsair rams that higher than 2333 MHz into their compatibility list after my request. The video card is also listed as a compatible device. I...

Hello, I rebuilt my workstation from 10 years old P9X79 WS to a couple of months old ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO coupled with an 'Intel i9-11900K', 'Corsair VENGEANCE® LPX 128GB (4 x 32GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 ' and an 'Asus GTX 1660Ti... The reason I have a new build is that towards its last days...

Got it. Thank you

You mean upgrade the rear exhaust fan or the front fan or both? (both are stock fans) And the side panel fan I mentioned should be intake right? Remember though, I have 2x120mm intake artic fans also on the side and they blow directly onto the bottom HDDs.

No, the stock fan I mentioned is the case exhaust fan on the rear. (Cooler Master) The artic 120mm one is the one I added... No room at the bottom I do have room for 2 x 120mm fans on the side panel. but they are not aligned with the top HDDs...

Got it. So, by the way, is there any better way to somehow manage the heat of those HDDs? Because they get over 50 celsius with that front stock fan alone.

But do you think would that contribute to the cooling of the HDDs? Because they get hot. I have 5 drives in that cage.

Hello, I have a Cooler Master Cosmos II case. I am not sure how to configure the mid HDD fan. Should I blow towards the HDDs or the opposite? Ideally, I want to cool down the HDDs, but I am worried to blow hot air from the case. I do have three outtakes: 2 x 120 mm fans on the top and a...

What I've heard is that; nonconductive fluid in time will become conductive due to collecting ions and then being charged by ions... And the fact that you never had a problem with LQ might lay on your habit of replacing them like oil... ;)

I won't put any water block for possible shower on my mobo... It is not a matter of "if", it is a matter of "when"... @ toast0 I realized the riser is not what l thought but it is a delightful twist. Especially if I can find a USB3.2 version it would be super...

Thank you toast0, for your very usefull post... Yes, I also have a SATA card for extra HDDs... I think option "D" is the only valid choice for me. I am happy to hear, such instruments exist. Fortunately for me, Asusu Hero comes with an apparatus that supports heavy GPU cards so that they...

Hello, I am building a WS with an Asus Rog Maximus XIII Hero Mobo... When I install an ASUS DUAL-GTX1660TI-O6G-EVO card to the first PCI connector: PCIEx16_1 The small PCIEX1 connector is buried under the GPU card! The second PCI connector: PCIEx16_2 would work but then the manual says...

I had a very strong feeling about the motherboard and went to the other way. (GPU). But now I am told that CPU could also not be excluded from the usual suspects' list as I initially was told otherwise by a technician. But I feel like the motherboard got really tired and those Q-codes are too...

That's very interesting, thank you. Excellent info with links and everything... So we are saying that even though all these years despite the PCI-E discrepancy, what worked deviously, would stop working., and why not... There are some cards but I took everything out just one drğive and the...

I already swapped Zotac with Asus..... And in the process, I've changed the port because it required a different output

Thank you, I knew I'd left out some things... My temperature control is very unorthodox yet very powerful. I have very low temperatures in my case it is a huge case. and I have 10 HDDs in the case so I care about the airflow and the heat. My CPU's thermal paste has been renewed. I have a...

My System Asus P9X79 WS Intel i7-3930K CORSAIR Vengeance (8x8GB) DDR3 1600 Zotac GTX 680 4GB (which feeds Three Monitors) and now Asus DUAL-GTX1660TI-O6G-EVO I've have been using this set up more than 7 years. I've always had the latest BIOS. Hello, This problem was there for over two...

Okay so I believe, I officially kicked the bsods for good... The new drivers did it. I had the computer running over for nearly seven hours without a blink with 2 TB drivers in, which were crashing the OS in two hours... So I now am running the 3 TB driver for over couple of hours now and before...

I wanted to display what the event manager had to say about my problem, so I had to plug in the HDDs... Something just poked me and I decided to do a quick check the ASUS site and what do you know they have put several driver updates in April... Including the Marvel stuff... So I updated right...

Thank you very much indeed.. You can imagine I'm very grateful.. Since I've built this little giant It feels like I got dope wheels but ain't got no damn tires.. It's been a couple of months but I did not have enough time and energy to figure it out you know the proper research.. This is the...

Thank you for trying but those are not the ones that I have problem with. Mine is Marvell 91xx Config ATA Device. You are right about going to the source. I should go to the Asus side and ask the support people actually...

It's the chip has something to do with all kinds of HDDs.. My both ethermet ports are the intel one.. Since then the crashed became worst and three crashed later the system stopped rebooting and got stuck in the blue screen.. So I unplugged all the sata drives and left only the SSD intact and...

So when I first discovered this, it was when I put my system together, I realized crashes came every two hours! I mean like a clock.. When I installed in a HDD, the blue screens started to come in every one hour! SO I realized that something to do with my HDD I assumed something to do with 64bit...

Hi Dan_D I was not able to get G-Skill.. I had Kingston and Corsair so I picked Corsair. Started with 1333MHz but now it is running at 1600MHz and so far I'm pretty happy with it... I did do some stress tests and a semi huge rendering and they are holding alright.. And thank you for all of...

Hello everyone, First of I congratulate you all for a smooth transition to the 2013... One prophecy down three to go... I wanted to inform you that I've completed my rig, and surprisingly enough it worked as soon as I finished wiring it... I will post some pictures to conclude this sweet...

Well I am sorry for offending you guys... I had no intention to make you feel nonsignificant nor did I considered your input nonessential... I always expressed my gratitude and appreciation... I tried to explain that I have a special case... I have limitations on what I can purchase in my...

Well take care then..

Okay forget about I said I want to experiment with virtualization... I was being spoiled rat.. However I need to use few OSs in my production PC... Not to experiment but to utilize multiple options which will aid me immensely in facilitating my work flow... As I researched the hypervisor types...

Hello again, Well, first of I would like to experience different OSs.. I have lot's XP 32 software that I would like to use in it's native domain. Also for security purposes I like to have a decoy OS and/or a taster OS.. (you know like kings use to have a taster for poison and stuff) I just...

Well if I all needed was multiple screens life would have been much easier... But... and that's a big but, I need lots of CUDA processing as well.. My main OS is Win7 Pro 64Bit.. This is the OS that will handle production aspect of workload... And tell you the truth, I have no idea about what...
