Badboy Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Hi, I bought the already flashed to IT mode LSI card 9207-81 off of Ebay, seller has a good reputation. I have tried it in both my bigger pcie slots and can't get the motherboard to pick it up. FYI: Ryzen cpu 1700X. Asrock x370 killer sli Anybody else running this board and card? Asrock support just says compatibility issue. It might be time for another board. I didn't want to change my CPU at the moment, but I do at some point. Not too many boards support a ist gen Ryzen and allow you to upgrade the cpu. Using these cables https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B012BPLYJC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Thanks Edited July 27, 2020 by Badboy Quote Link to comment
Gragorg Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Is this a Dell card by chance? Some of these card need 2 pins to be taped with electrical kapton tape to be recognized. UPDATE: Thanks for the correction jonathanm Edited July 28, 2020 by Gragorg Quote Link to comment

Electrical tape has no place inside card slots, it's too thick and the adhesive is nasty to remove after it's been aged and heat cycled. Quote Link to comment

When I get a minute I will have to pull the card out and see. Didn't see it in the details. This is what I bought. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/LSI-6Gbps-SAS-HBA-LSI-9201-8i-9211-8i-IT-Mode-ZFS-FreeNAS-unRAID-US/142748462843 I think it is made by Dell. Might just have to bite the bullet and buy a board, need more sata ports. My problem is I may have to change the cpu as well. Have a Ryzen 1700x, not many boards support that with the option to upgrade the cpu. Edited July 28, 2020 by Badboy Wrong Link Quote Link to comment
