Xfx 680i raid setup

Other things to note on the whole is that the board uses solid caps for ONLY the CPU power delivery and uses standard caps everywhere else. This means that the caps may blow after a period of time, rendering the board useless unless you have some soldering skills, see HERE. Moving around the back we can have a look at the included connections:. Lower right corner…. Bottom edge…. And CPU power delivery. Yay to the environment! The CPU Socket area.

Lower left corner front panel audio connectors. RAM slots. Variety of board connections. Floppy and second pair of SATA connectors. Lever-type PCI-e locks. Color coded front panel connections. CPU socket with included plastic protector. The USB bracket packs four ports, while the firewire bracket has one. Time to get down to the installation! First I removed the motherboard tray and therefore pretty much the whole system from my main rig. I then proceeded to remove the various components.

Time to remove the CPU. Where did it go? Then I dropped in the CPU…. Then I noticed that the heatsink clip was interfering with the northbridge heatsink :groan:.

Well those links are a couple of years old, lol Looks like you need to register to access their drivers, which is a bit weird if you ask me: www.

They have been ""Register to see updates"" for years. Seemed like at one time, they required you to register a piece of their hardware and those were the only updates you could see. I've got myself an old XFX X58i, and found the bios at the link you told, but i havent got a clue on how to update the bios, as there isnt any way to do it in the bios setup. You might get lucky, or unlucky Most companies these days have a Windows program to update the BIOS, but sometimes they will autoupdate if you have the BIN file on a flashdrive when plugged into the motherboard on bootup.

Quite confusing! I'll keep you posted on how it goes, or if I come by a good guide. Unless anyone here got a clue?
