July 3, 201016 yr pio4 ? it s lower i think my poor write speed any ideas ? If they are IDE drives, make sure you use 80 conductor cables, not 40 Conductor cables, and not round ones. Other than that, if SATA drives, set your BIOS to NOT emulate a legacy IDE interface. Joe L.
July 3, 201016 yr I was setting this motherboard up as a HTPC and during testing tried to use it with unRaid to preclear a drive. It kept on dying during the write cycle ... I couldn't get the screen back up so I couldn't check anything. It froze a few times with hard lockups during writing. I wasn't going to use the motherboard for an unRaid system so I gave up there (I would have liked to for the next build ...) I should have come back here for more advice ... then I could be of more help It passed the memory tests alright (after I RMA'd the first set of memory, and this was tried with the replacement memory) With the memory I purchased the motherboard bios kept on detecting the timing and voltages wrong ... I went to the manufacturers website for the correct settings. I'd be curious if your board does better ... I might take another look at it ...
July 4, 201016 yr Author yesterday i have received supermicro card pci express and cables from honk kong no hdds are on the mainboard only on supermicro and adaptec 1430 all is fine and the write speed is back 32 mo s constant. parity check speed is back again + of 80 mo s tomorrow i try to branch hdd on the mainboard in bios only ide device is working in ahci no boot on the usb device it s reboot and reboot again and again bios is the last 1456. i try to fix this
September 8, 201015 yr I have the PRO/USB3 board and the server is having freezing problems and IRQ error messages: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=7683.0 Update: the board was defective.

September 16, 201015 yr no problem for me no freeze i disable on the bios all the fonctions like audio etc It was ok here too if I disabled everything except LAN, but I didn't like that.
