Thanks Karl Pell, but those are the exact drivers that are giving me the SCSI info. Will be gone for work all day today so I"ll figure it out when I get home. Learning experience.

On my A8V Deluxe mobo, IDE operating mode for a SATA controller is the correct choice if using individual SATA drives, i.e. no RAID array. IDE mode doesn't mean that your SATA drive is operating any slower than it should be. Does the computer boot from your SATA drive if you leave the operating mode on IDE? If so, then it's working fine.RangerStew said:
The other thing that can cause problems is if the motherboard doesn't support SATA II. I'm not familiar with this ASRock board, but I know my A8V Deluxe doesn't support SATA II mode. If this is the case, you need to change some jumper settings on your SATA II drive so that it operates in SATA I mode. Hope this helps!

Yes, it supports SATA II. Thanks for that info Killr. Going to reinstall everything now and hopefully keep it from giving me that bogus info on the SCSi drives.
Not to crap all over this board, but I am having massive problems that I can't solve!
Random reboots. Never at full load - always when composing an email, surfing, etc.
No BSOD. I have set it to NOT reboot on fault and all it does is hard reset. Right to the POST screen.
High pitched squealing when USB was enabled. I replaced with a USB PCI card and it went away.
I have pretty much ruled out the following: Memory, CPU, Power Supply, USB, onboard serial, parallel. At this point it really has to be the board.
Here are my specs.
X2 3800+
Dual939-SATAII
X850XTPE AGP
Antec TruePower 550w
SiiG 2 port PCIe SATAII RAID card
2x Seagate 80GB SATA (on SiiG card)
1x Hitachi 160GB SATA (on SATA port 1 of board)
1x Maxtor 250GB SATA (on SATAII port of board)
2x NEC 3540a DVD+R (one on each MASTER IDE)
Cyberpower UPS
Thats pretty much it. It isn't heat - this thing is watercooled and hits like 40C at load.
Any insight at all would be great.

There should be another square 4-pin plug on your PSU. Use that one.
Whew! Thanks for catching that! I was thinking the extra was for a PCI-E and didn't catch that PCI-E uses a 6 pin connector! (Can you tell I don't have a PCI-E video card yet??
)I found the right plug for it. Thanks again! That was close! I get the Processor early next week!

Ok, Im probably going to show my newbness here but here goes anyway. Got everything up and running ok with it and BF2 is playing much nicer than on my old ASUS A7V8x-x w/XP 2600+. So I decided to start some OCing. I do have Bios v 1.02. Well, I went to the CPU options under Advanced options and switched it to Manual. But all I get is the option to change it from x9 1800, to x10 2000 then x11 2200 and so on. Where are all the other options? Educate me, I willing to learn.
My ASUS board was so much easier to figure out.

The vcore mod seems easy enough that just about anyone can do it. Just bust out your conductive pen ala socket A days.
Hopefully, further bios will allow further options, but there's been talk that it's more of a hardware limitation rather than BIOS one (vcore and vdimm wise). Guess only time will tell.
Until then, I'm extremely interested in the results posted here. Keep 'er up.

I'm such a big dummy. 
Forget I said anything! Figured it out.
Got it at 2.03 Ghz just for giggles. Will test more this weekend when I have time to mess with it.
Great board so far. Only problems I have had have been from my own ignorance.

@brywalker
This is probably the 1T Bug. If you are running 1T, try 2T. That may solve the problem.
@RangerStew
What have you done to get sata2 working? Same problems here.

I just ordered my AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice Core CPU and it should arrive by mid next week if all goes well.
How far can I overclock this CPU safely. I've seen results in this thread, but I just need a simple answer. If any of you have the same CPU, how far did you get it with it being stable? Which settings do I change in the BIOS, etc?

Funky,
First make sure it is connected to the SATA II Connector, which is solid red, and right below the RAM. Being new to SATA, I had plugged mine in at the other SATA plugins which are black and for SATA I only.
Enter your bios, go to advanced options, and under IDE configuration, go down to the SATA II option, and set it to IDE mode. If your HD was in a RAID config, then it would stay on SATA mode, but if it is solo, put it on IDE. What brand HD is it? Mine is Hitachi, and the Hitachi website has a tool that will enable the SATA II.
Im clueless when it comes to tweaking memory, so Im sure I'll have some questions coming this way this evening when I get off work.

OCing Problems
Hey guys, I'm having some overclocking problems. I've updated the bios to 1.2 and I can't overclock. I go into bios and set the multiplier higher, save changes, and when I boot into windows and exe cpu z it says I'm runing 1.8Ghz (I have a Venice 3000+). Look at my specs and please give me a hand.

Hey all, I picked up the dual sataII- 939 board.
I have a quick question or two, checked the manual for answers, could not fine.
are the pci slots automatically locked for overclocking?
if I did have a pciE video card what would i set it for? async or sync?
BTW I am using an AGP now.
also, can you use an AGP and PCIE card together? i know no type of sli or anything would work, i was thinking more multi monitor..
thanks..

Also, what prog are you using to monitor temps of the processor on this board?

This confuses me. I'm at the same speed 270*9 1:1 with RAM yet your mem outscores me. Is it because I'm putting more of a strain on the mem controller?ochungry said:

The "High" setting was measured by NPlack @ Rebel's Haven and it was putting out 2.71v.LordDarik said:
