With the new bio update D975XBX2 (june 13th) will matrix and marvell now live together in peace...can i boot up with drives on both controllers without removing the lan ??? thanks Jim S Looks like the answer is no. I installed the new BIOS and had the same issue. That said, I have found that if you...

Ah, well, I'm not sure about all of that, but I do know that my clients report being far more satisfied when I let them use all of my 3.5" hard drive. What size do you give them?

Yeah, this sounds a lot like that...

I highly recommend this board , specially if u want to run crossfire. VERY STABLE BOARD ! 3.8Ghz on a qx6700? Are you sure about that? I've got the same...

If your Intel D975XBX2 system hangs right after the Marvell and Intel ICH7R bios Post with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner, then the problem would seem to oddly be related to the on-board audio controller and the enabling of the Marvel RAID controller. If you have the on-board audio DISAB...

Anyway I am currently using the MARVELL storage controller on the INTEL-D975XBX2 with two seagate 320 gb drives (ST3320620AS SATA 3Gb/s interface) in a RAID1 array. Hate to break it to you there, but #1, marvell makes bad drivers. Why dont you try and pull out a drive and test the redundancy. #2, i...

Oh, I think that I wasn't clear. As yet, I haven't found a solution for this problem. I was hoping that the BIOS config option was going to do the trick, but alas, it didn't. Same issue. Guess we'll just have to wait for a BIOS update from Intel...

Greetings, As a new owner of an Intel D975XBX2 motherboard, I got to wondering which of the two RAID controllers on this board had the better performance. I searched the Intel web site and did a fair amount on the Google, but really came up with zero performance information on these controllers spec...

Everything seemed fine until I enabled the Marvell controller. If I disable the Marvell controller, the system boots fine. My boot disk is on the Matrix controller. For me, the audio card doesn't seem to impact the boot-ability of the system. The system boots fine if I pull the LAN cable for that fe...

I don't think I have yet tried setting the BIOS "Drive Configuration / Use Automatic Mode" to "Disable", although I might have as I spent about 6 hours so far trying every concevable BIOS setting to make this work... :oops: :evil: Okay, just rebooted with the BIOS "Drive Co...

Thanks for the reply. I'm waiting for my Raid to rebuild; soon as it finishes, I'm going to give that tweak a try.... I'll report back. Yes, three video cards! Actually, I got 3 8800 GTX's but they take up two slot positions, so they block the PCI slots. I really couldn't give up the X-Fi audio card...

I'm having this exact same problem, now that I have enabled the Marvell controller. Initially, I was just using the Matrix raid controller and everything was fine. Here is my configuration: 2ea 750gb Seagate HDs on Matrix, Raid 1, bootable, Vista 32 install 1ea 500gb Seagate HD on Matrix, non-raid 2...
