How to disable Drive Xpert and redetect your SATA 3 hard disk drive

Are you curious about the Asus Drive Xpert mode in BIOS? Once you update your SATA III hard disk and it was turned into speed mode, your hard disk will never been detected by Marvell. What should you do now?

Here is the method to turn back your SATA III hard disk back to normal mode.

1. Plug your SATA III hard disk to the first SATA III socket and plug any SATA II hard disk to the second SATA III socket.
2. Marvell will boot out during you boot up your computer.
3. Press CTRL+M in Marvell screen.
4. You will see "foreign" for your SATA III hard disk. Press Enter to "Erase RAID config data" and it will change back the status to "unconfigured"
5. Delete all the virtual disk.
6. Press F10 to quit and save.

Then now your SATA 3 hard disk can be detected in BIOS.

我Intel Core i7 950 和 GTX460 SLI的3D Mark 11分數破P7000大關體驗

誰說兩張GTX460 不能炒贏一張GTX580的? 我兩張GTX460價錢還比一張GTX580便宜.
以下是我的電腦簡介:
Motherboard: Asus P6X58D-E
CPU: Intel Core i7 950超頻至 4.32GHz
RAM: Kingston Hyper-X KHX2000C9AD3T1K3/6GX
GPU: 2x SLI Asus ENGTX460 TOP DirectCU 1GB GDDR5
HDD: Western Digital WD10EALX SATA III 1.0TB
CPU Cooler: Corsair H50
PSU: Corsair TX850W
Fan Controller: Lamptron FC5 V2
Casing: Cooler Master HAF922
Kit: NZXT Sleeved LED Kit 2m (Red)


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
超頻準備:
1.準備 Tuniq TR-1藥水.
2. 準備一隻 Tuniq TX-2 (我試過TX-4但是CPU不穩定, 所以改用TX-2)

超頻方法:
1. 先換掉散熱膏, 用Tuniq TR-1藥水徹底抹掉舊的散熱膏. 然後在CPU的中央塗上Tuniq TX-2. 再裝上散熱器輕輕壓一下CPU. 後才裝螺絲把散熱器裝好. 原stock的Corsair H50散熱有限. 只能超到4.2GHz, 超過4.2GHz系統就會不穩定.
2. 打開電腦, 按del 進入BIOS. 進入Ai Tweaker.
a) Ai Overclock Tuner 改為 X.M.P
b) CPU Ratio Setting 改為 24.0
c) Xtreme Phase Full Power Mode 改為 Enabled
d) BCLK Frequency 改為 180
e) DRAM Frequency 改為"少過"DDR3-2000MHz
f) CPU Voltage 改為 1.60000
g) QPI/DRAM Core Voltage 看你的RAM最大能支持多少, 我的Kingston Hyper-X調到 1.70000
h) DRAM Bus Voltage 改為 1.65
其餘的 Auto

可以退出BIOS. 進入Windows. Asus 的顯示卡. 你可以裝SmartDoctor.
把你的顯示卡超頻:
a) Vcore調到 1.025
b) Engine調到 836
c) Memory 調到4100

現在可以打開3DMark 11測試. 這是我的3DMark 11測試結果 http://3dmark.com/3dm11/976337

電腦啟動不了, 完全沒有電源? 怎麼辦

電腦的電源器 - Power Supply Unit 或簡稱 PSU. 也就是所有台式電腦的主要供電器. 沒有了PSU, 整架電腦就無法啟動. 主機板沒有了電供就等於生命沒有了心臟. 悲劇就發生在昨天. 昨天我本來開開心心的收到我一個星期前網購回來的一塊m.2 nvme散熱鋁...
