The Cohhilition

So happy I received my new parts. One problem, I cant get my gigabyte MB to enter raid setup <bios>. I havent installed drivers or any thing yet. This will be my set up when finished.

GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3
AMD FX-6350 Vishera 6-Core 3.9GHz
G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900)
XFX R9-280X-TDFD Radeon R9 280X 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5
Corsair GS700 Gaming PS

On a budget and yes I missed a SSD

But any help with the raid problem would be appreciated

Oh, and its Win7

First, update your bios but be carefull, if you mess up you can brick the mb.

secondly why and with what are going raid, which raid

Drives are WD Raptors(10k rpm) 75gig x2
Was going to go Raid 0 (mirrored one) for a speed boost. I don't know raid that well.

yeye k i understand. i found this thread.

and i that doesnt work try updating bios

My bios is up to date. I installed AMD raid drivers. It initializes the raid set up and immediately enters scanning for drives but never finds any.

well im out of ideas, go to some of the more advanced forums like linustechtips or oc3d

well after talking to gigabyte, the motherboard works fine, the drives are fine, but for some reason the screw up the raid bios, so I just cant run raid on them... time to save for a SSD
