I have had several troubles so far with my CFX3200.
First Problem: I'm not sure if it is the bios settings or the drivers, but something keeps happening with my RAID setup. I had my 74gb raptor and my 320gb seagate sucessfully in a RAID5 setup just the other day, but when I updated windows (Not SP2), I couldn't even see my 320gb drive (Windows is installed on the raptor drive). The wierd part is, I can see it when the computer is booting up, but it disappears when I get into windows (xp pro).
Second Problem: Overclocking. I am trying to up my Opty 165 which is being cooled my a Zalman 9500. Now, I am new to overclocking and all that, but every time I up the fsb clock, the computer won't post. I change the DRAM settings so that it is on pc3200 1:1 and then I change the fsb value. When I restart, the computer won't post. I am not sure if this is an error on my part or what. Also, I was wondering if there are any desktop overclocking programs that you guys would reccomend.
Third Problem: This isn't a "problem" per se, but something I am not sure on. I am running a x1900 crossfire setup and I have no idea if it is actually running crossfire or not . I have no other way of knowing if it is besides the box checked off in CCC, which I cannot stand.
Here are my full system spec's incase you may need more info:
DFI Lanparty UT CFX3200-DR
SAPPHIRE Radeon X1900 CrossFire Card
ASUS Radeon X1900XT
1x 74gb Raptor
1x 320gb 7200.10 Seagate
OCZ Titanium 2048 pc3200@ 2-3-2-5 1T
Opty165 running at stock (1.8)
OCZ gameXstream 600W psu
all in a Thermaltake Armor Full Tower case
Thanks in advance
