Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

That link does not work and other stuff ...

I got the F9 BIOS from the GIGABYTE site but I saw no "d" version.

I am mystified by the SHCI thing since my (limited) understanding of all of this is that the HDD for music playback is somewhat unimportant.

I would like to try using an SSD for WINDOWS and programs but not sure if I want to spend the money, yet.

The board has been running in for a week as I lower the CPU voltage. I am at 0.675 volts and waiting a few more days to see if I can get to 0.65.

I see in the settings from lga775 (I guess he will have to change his moniker!) that he is using the SHCI for his HDD. I would be grateful if he might explain why, and if, this is useful.

I need to build a 5 volts power supply so I can implement Dave Davenports HDMI based version of I2S connection between JULI@ and his dac. This supply will power both JULI@ and the "send" card. I am going to make it a CRCR filter without the typical three terminal regulators just to make it a little more difficult. AND because I worry that too many of these regulators cascaded can have their own problems.

I am using the originally recommended (back in the ART OF COMPUTER TRANSPORTS day) THERMALTAKE power supply for P$ and HDD and continuing with the ANTEC EARTHWORKS 430 for everything else. Eventually I will try some linear supplies.

After the confusion due to the HDD and SHCI was resolved I have had no problems getting the new MB to run.

Have fun!
Bye,

Rick McInnis
