Here are my choices Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more!.


Both Adaptec cards state they have 128mb ram while the LSI does not state anything about ram. The Adaptec 2405 card is also only SAS/SATA2 while the others are SAS/SATA3.


I will be using one of these raid cards with ESXi 5.0. I have 4 sata2 2tb hdds that I would like to attach to it and be setup in raid10. I have a bios that supports VT-d so I would like to pass this raid card along to a windows VM running on the server.




Which of these 2 cards would have the best support, speed, reliability.


I would like to try and stay with in the price rage of these cards if you have other suggestions.

I think I have a similar problem as some others.

Iīve bought a Z68 Extreme3 motherboard a couple of days ago but canīt get my graphics card to work in the upper PCIE slot (PCI-E slot marked PCIE2)
But it works in the lower slot (PCIE4)
And onboard graphics works...

I have tried to:
Flash BIOS iīve used 1.2 (on the board at delivery) 1.3 and the beta bios to.
And I have had the motherbord taken out to run it on a cardboard sheet to make sure there where no shorts behind the card

Starting to get somewhat annoyed at this now, any sugestions?

The Fans and lights run nothing else so we press and hold the button to shut it down and it completes the power down cycle. Ok heres where I scratch my head. We reboot and go into Bios set up to look at the temp reading there and it also shows -1c. She updated her bios Im just not sure what to do.

I've built two machines previous to this one so I'm not a total noob and I have taken this build completely apart after the first attempt to put it together to ensure connections were properly done.
I find myself in the same predicament as a few of the other posters on this forum. I'm building a new PC with a Z68 Ext 7 Gen 3 MB and it will not recognize my EVGA GTS 570HD video card. I can get video with the internal VGA. I disabled the IGD in the bios, but not in windows hardware manager, updated to the latest bios on the site and drivers available, but when I try to boot up with that card or the card in my current PC all I get is a black screen. Not even the Asrock splash screen appears. I've attempted to insert the card into the PCIe 3.0 slot and one other with no luck. I did submit a trouble ticket on the asrock site but I hear that can take awhile to get an answer so I thought I'd try here. Any help that anyone could provide would be appreciated.
Other info: can't insert the card into the uppermost slot due to the liquid cooler radiater being in the way, running Win 7 64 bit, 16 G of RAM, 120 GB corsair SSD, 1000W cooler master PSU, corsair H80 CPU cooler. Have not hooked up any other devices to the machine yet except mouse and deyboard.

I think I can tighten up those settings (passed an IBT run right now with lower voltages) but at least I seem to have a starting point. I've had no problems loading onto the desktop at 450x9 and higher but the system locks up in IBT after 1-2 passes with the very rare BSOD and reboot depending on the changes to the vcore, reference, pll, termination, etc..

I'm not sure if the amount of RAM (4x2GB) or the RAM itself (DDR2-1100 5-5-5-15 1.9v) is a limiting factor as I haven't run Memtest yet but running 2 sticks didn't seem to make a difference. Temperatures seem OK (62c load) but higher than what I expected.

I've read as much as I could find on here and OCN but I'm going to need a guiding hand as I feel there's room to improve :wavey:

Thoughts?
