Hi everyone,
I have a Rampage III Gene mobo with the latest bios (1003) and I have been having an irritating (but not serious) problem:
The hard drive boot order absolutely will not save when I shut down. I have it set to boot to optical and then my RAID 0 array which has the OS. After the RAID, i have nothing else selected. My storage is configured for AHCI since I have an OCZ Synapse Cache 64GB and my SATA6Gb is configured for IDE (that's where my RAID is at).
Every time I start up for the day, I have to go into the BIOS and change it. The BIOS will set the Synapse or my external 1TB Goflex as the primary drive and that of course won't work.
I am running Windows 7 64bit with all the latest updates.
My main HDD are Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB in RAID 0
CPU is Core i7 960 @ Stock (3.2Ghz)
RAM is Corsair Dominator 6GB (manual timings, not using XMP, set to 8-8-8-24)
GPU is Radeon 7970 BE by XFX (Non-DD, ref. cooler)
I'm not sure if any of these are affecting the BIOS and I couldn't really imagine why they would in the first place.
Can anyone offer some insight? If you need more system info, please let me know. I would absolutely love to just be able to boot up and not even think about it!
On a separate subject, I have noticed that in HD Tune, my RAID 0 performance tops out at like 170MB/sec and I'm not sure why. A couple reviews have shown that they should be over 200, maybe about 225 or so but that isn't the case. Additionally, I can't view any health data about the drives. I'm not sure if they're SMART enabled or not. My Synapse is but Dataplex has hidden it from the system in order to protect cached data integrity (drive works very well.. programs and games load very fast). Anyone have any thoughts on this matter as well?

In the future, I'll consider that if I have the same problems again
