Default Re: New Build GA-EP45-DS3 + Q9550

Ok Ordered another Seagate ST31000333AS 7200.11 HDD to make my RAID 1 for my new build. About RAID does both HDD have to have the same Firmware? I'll definatly give the G Skill 1066 RAM a try. Hopefully Ill have the bits for the weekend. Hmm with your comment on the ODIN, its a decent PSU and Farking Quiet. The software controlling side of it is Pft. I wouldnt mess with the volts and it was only pure luck that I found out the issue with my first one, when I installed the software as soon as I ran it there was an alarm flashing on the 5v rail because it was like 4v and thats why My HDD was being gay. The replacement goes good. Im sure the hard wired cables have sleaving all the way to the PSU but I will double check when I pull the computers down for a rebuild and shuffle. I did research everything before I by and it got good reviews. Its the ODIN GTso yeah check it out. let me know what you find or give me the link cause I wouldnt mine looking inside the easy way. lol

I found the review at AnandTech AnandTech: Gigabyte's New Odin GT 800W Power Supply And you are right it was made by CWT
