I was wondering if anyone else has a "Disk" error in event viewer after installing the Intel USB 3.0 drivers then once restarted plugged in a USB 3.0 external data drive.

Seems to fire one error after plugging it in, then im not getting anymore errors from the disk, Hopefully its just the Intel USB 3.0 drivers reconfigureing the drive for first time use or something.

Update:
I just ran ATTO three times on the external USB 3.0 data drive hooked up to the Intel USB 3.0 port and got no "Disk" errors in event viewer so Im good, It's what I thought it was a first time driver initialization error.

im looking to buy one of these but want to read some reviews first. And sell my old gigabyte on ofc lol

 

[level3tjg]

no complaints from me so far... just built new rig on this board yesterday. Seems to be working great and looks sweet!

 

[Dousand Thollars]

Buying one of these very soon, I'll be right back

Mine is sitting in my Haf X, with my new Corsair H100 hanging, ready for my 3770k.... now where are you Intel.... Hurry up!

 

[staryoshi]

I'll have thoughts and pictures as soon as I get my hands on an i7 3770k

That said, we already have an official Sabertooth club... It just needs to be updated with the Z77 model

Hi, this is my first post, but I had the same issue after upgrading from a P67A GIGABYTE board. Ended up installing a fresh windows7 system on a new drive and all was ok. Pretty sure it would have been a driver issue with the new USB 3.0, but all is good now.

On a side note, I've got a 2600k installed currently on my z77 sabertooth, does anyone know what type of ivy bridge CPU would be a better

So you too got a "Disk" error in event viewer after installing the Intel USB 3.0 driver ?

P.S: I just ran ATTO three times on the external USB 3.0 data drive hooked up to the Intel USB 3.0 port and got no "Disk" errors in event viewer so Im good, It's what I thought it was a first time driver initialization error.

If my P67 Sabertooth would hurry up and brake
i could buy new one

I love mine.

Some current issues:
Sometimes case fans will spin at the minimum set RPMs in the user-defined curve until I open the tool and click apply again. For some reason they default to 60% if 60% is the minimum I have set instead of spinning at 70% based on the temp sensors chosen for example. I'd imagine a BIOS change can rectify this. I've contacted ASUS.
My SATA6G and USB3 sensors run pretty hot, up to 50-55C at times (during gaming). I believe this is due to my GPU. I wonder what a safe operating temp for those chips is? 75C is a pretty standard min for chips like that so that's what I'm assuming.

Everything else is fantastic, and I have no other issues. Great board!

Had it installed a few days now... 2700k @ 5.0 Ghz stable. Looking sweet in my case too!

 

[garikfox]

Yeah indeed thats nice, and a 680 aswell, sweet setup

 

[phlogiston]

How is the fan noise? Also, does theSabertooth z77 come with the fan xpert software? Thank you.

 

[garikfox]

I cant hear the two 35mm fans at all, very silent

Yeah im pretty sure the Fan Xpert software is on the included disc, I dont use it so i really didnt check

 

[Robilar]

Where does the second fan go? I can see the first one just below the cpu.
