why plug into lowest sata port?
amd controller uses the top sata ports, get better speeds from them.
was everclear involved in this install? :chair:
 
yes, I guess i'll have to pull the gpu's and start over..............
 
I had my manual out looking stuff up, but for the life of me I can't find it. I'm pretty sure the Sata ports go from top (closest to the 24pin power) to bottom (closest to the power/reset pins). I could be wrong, and if so I plugged mine in back4ssw0rds.
 
Remember me getting the...

...the actual port layout using a drive at a time to see it in bios? For CHV boards?

perhaps I should crack a manual once in a while.
yes Rgone I actually have that graphic in my notes file, and I think that is actually my ch5-f board, that lays right over there in plain view, with the ports still marked.
 
I remember RGonn's thread back a bit figuring this out...... the manual is printed wrong as well as the silk screen on the board if my memory is correct .
 
Who needs manuals? Just down a bottle of your favorite elixir (pouring on the ground would be sacra-something-a-rather) place furry-laced-blindfold over eyes and play operation. If you don't smell smoke or hear alarms you are doin good. :D

It's worked for me in the past, or I think it has, details a lil fuzzy now-a-days. :confused:
