lol thats ****ing lame. On my P965 board I never ran into these kind of problems, it just ran in proper SATA mode w/o any issues or changing anything. I'm kinda pissed now and i don't see a work around for ICH10R.

Well, XP is.. what, 7 years old now? It's getting very long in the tooth. It's going to wind up being the Windows 3.1 of this decade. I heard MS put off killing it until 2010. Despite all its flaws and its lack of modern hardware support out of the box, many people just don't want to give it up and join the rest of us here in the present.

I would have thought that it was quite acceptable to use LLC on this board with a low to medium+ overclock whereas on a high overclock where the voltages are much higher and closer to the maximum limits, the risk of a voltage spike and the possibility of killing your CPU was much more of a consideration.
Having said that, these boards have such good load regulation... and I haven't yet heard of anyone killing a 45nm CPU on the UD3's.
I have LLC enabled.

Where exactly do you check this?

Robilar

LLC is not dangerous under load. Where there have been failures, its as a result of spikes during idle...

that said, LLC seems to be much safer on this board than on the asus lineup (I had an E8400 die on a Rampage Formula as a result of LLC being enabled).

It's under Integrated Peripherals (the first item)



I disagree with this being 'lame'. It's nothing more than a hardware quirk that can be easily fixed. What I don't understand is why people insist on using an operating system that is rapidly approaching a decade in age (and almost two installments of windows out of date now). Vista is not that bad (dare I say, even good) anymore. Trust me, I have been using Vista since it was in beta, and the improvements they have made have been drastic.

And, for all of those of you out there who are holding out for Windows 7 (which I am also currently beta testing), keep in mind that 7 is nothing more than Vista with a few (albeit impressive) tweaks and updates. At its core, though, it is still very much Vista.

Oh, and before anyone calls me a Vista fanboy, I also run Linux, XP and Mac OS X (I'm a developer with a PC desktop and an Apple Black MacBook). I like all of those operating systems, but I find myself in OS X and Vista the most.

Sorry I just woke up, but it was in either Intergrated Peripherals or Standard CMOS Features. You'll see it there.

Its just weird that on my P965 board it worked fine, then on this newer P45 board I'm having issues with it...same OS and everything.

Enyalius

Again, it's new hardware on an old platform. Honestly, though, I don't really view a minor setting change as a problem; it only became an issue because there is no way to fix it in your older OS.
