790i bios help


Recommended Posts

hi everybody, i recently built my computer in july,

and i just wanted to make sure everything is working fine because i expected better than what i got...

here are my specs...

xfx 790i

c2q q9450

xfx 9800gtx

wd velociraptor

silverstone strider 750 watt

and finally the apevia black x cruiser case.

now when i was choosing my parts it was about 1 month before i bought it, i read and saw reviews that with the 790i you can know if everything is working fine, or it will tell you if everything is wokring properly...

now the other question is, i reinstalled windows vista ultimate a couple of times to test hdd and i wasent satisfied with the speeds... when i first installed vista ultimate it took about 30-40 mins (on the VELOCIRAPTOR) even though it was showing the normal speeds compared with the bench marks using hd tach. then in a week or so i changed the sata port on the mother board and reinstalled windows and it worked much faster like 20 min install and 20 sec start up but when i checked hd tach, it showed 2 times slower speeds than the original benchmarks found online even though it worked faster for me...

could it be because somehow i set it to be as a hard drive for start up or something like that????

random access, 7.5ms

cpu utilization 4%

average read: 108.1 MB/s

Burst 235.7MB/s

but right now the hard drive is not plugged in to the sata port thats working fast...

and BTW the sata port that was working fast is all by itself away from the other ones above the pci express slot (coloured in red instead of the regular black)

I have no idea, sounds like placebo effect to me then.

TR's numbers, even though it is the smaller 150GB Raptor, you're still in the ballpark..and the difference between the two is not THAT big.

Older revision of the drive, but again..the differences between the two is not that large.

Finally, I refer you to SR:

I'm sure I can find plenty of HD Tach shots from [H], AT, XS, and OCF with similar numbers..

    • Those persons has complete control over the internet right now. They do see everything what we do regardless.
    • Everyone and every country who doesn't support Israel's aggression, terrorism and hypocrisy is their immediate enemy. You can definitely see how many innocent people they are killing almost everyday. In fact they're the actual Neo-Nazi who holds Hitler's ideology.
    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.
