I know it`s just memory...

I only have a Kingston ram installed on my pc aw

You should take it out and shoot it.

SATA_1 and SATA_2 are Intel controlled, maybe you just need to install the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver as Kelly pointed out. nice of them not to mention colors. :sarc:

Roaster it says Corsair in your specs mate 2x4GB so have you swapped them out since you built?

I have Kingston RAM installed in my rig and it seems to be working just fine. I have three Kingston Traveler 4GB USB flash drives I picked up several years ago at Big Lots and they have held up just fine.

In this picture, I have highlighted the ports I'm almost certain are the Intel SATA III ports. I have also pointed to 3 spots on the edge of the motherboard that might be labels for the ports. You can also consult your motherboard manual.

I`m definetly connected to the right ones. Still only getting 439MB/s read, but my disk score is 7.9 :sarc:
Did an intel scan, says all my chipset drivers are valid and up to date.

 

[kbrady1979]

Going by your AS SSD screenshot, you are using the default Microsoft AHCI driver......which is fine for all intents and purposes. Most people like using the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver instead.....it technically is a little faster.

 

[AddRAM]

How do I correct that ?

im having a issue with my OCZ after a clean install it degraded to 7.8

trying to see if firmware needed a update but nope so I am at a loss

I think I`ll go back to morse code.

Maybe this means a Kingston SSD?

Did you get my message on SSD Alignment ?

I was thinking this might be the case with mine too worth a shot might need to be Aligned

But your access times are great, that's what makes a SSD shine, not random/sequential numbers. Your 4K number are near the top and that's what the OS uses more than the other read/write speeds.

 

[kbrady1979]

There's nothing at all wrong with those numbers.....I was just saying there was an alternative to the default Microsoft AHCI driver that most people use.

 

[Britton30]

As a science experiment I switched to the msahci for a bit and I did see a decrease in performance and loner boot times. I ran the AS SSD benchmark and all the scores were just a bit more than half they are using the iaStor AHCI driver.

 

[AddRAM]

With Intel drivers.

 

[kbrady1979]

Nice job! That thing should be smokin fast!

 

[Britton30]

Big improvement in the 4K, especially write.

The included Delta fan does really well, but I have been thinking about trying out something else. We'll see

Looks nice though with the Intel label so I see you didn't go with the low profile Vengeance ram still looks pretty rad the Heat spreaders look like little Mohawk's

Yep it sort of sticks out from the crowd I reckon too, Apart from the colour coding for the drives it went really well with the blue theme
The only difference is KB hasn't got the cowling on if I remember right and the extract fan is actually quite a bit brighter blue than the pic shows plus the blue Nexus on the pull side.
You have probably seen it before but....

I had my first build black and blue love the colors
