Dammit!! Help anyone? EVGA x58 FAIL

[Gekko Shadow]

Hey guys, been a while since i posted on tom's - hopefully some of you may help.

I was messing on some OC's from my build (info should be in my sig, but just in case

*EVGA X58 Classified 3 *AX1200w Corsair PSU
*Intel i7 920 Oc\'d @ 4.3Ghz *G.Skill 6Gb @ 2200Mhz
*Corsair F60 60GB w/Windows 7Ultimate 64bit.
*WD Green 4 x 1.5TB (6TB) RAID 10 (3TB) (Backup & Storage)
*Modded HAF 920

I had my 6TB set up in RAID10 - wonderful speeds all is well - but i decided to try to push the 4.3Ghz mark and go for 4.5ghz. Well 4.4ghz worked well, but 4.5ghz failed. Oh well, right? So i just load up an old profile from my bios - and wouldn't you know my Raid set up is thrown out of wack! It ain't showing up no more when i boot up. So i reset the bios and go back into the Bios and change the mode to RAID. So up comes up the raid controller menu - and it shows that 3 of my drives are "Non-RAID". AHH! What the hell, right? Only one shows up as a RAID drive (member "0"). I mean you reset the bios, set up RAID and it should pick up te RAID again, right?

So has anyone had this problem, or anyone have any idea how this might be fixed? I'm pretty ticked off @ the idea that i just lost about 2TB worth of data...if anyone has some ideas, or info - PLEASE let me know? Thanks! :I

I've had some issues with RAID (on my EVGA mobo) and I'll probably be going back to single drives with mirrors in the future (once I can get a 4TB drive to back everything up).

I had a 3 drive RAID 5 setup and only two were recognized after I disconnected then reconnected one. I ended up reassigning my 3rd drive and it rebuilt the array--so, technically, I lost my data. I dunno about changing settings in the RAID controller menu, just because it might fix it to reassign or it might erase.

Assuming you had it as 0 & 1, 2 & 3 RAID 1, and 01 & 23 RAID 0, you should be able to assign disk 1 as a mirror to disk 0 and disks 2 & 3 as mirrors of eachother without losing data. But it might erase everything on 1, 2, &3.

Yeah, i couldn't figure it out - i tried mirroring, but didn't work so i just wiped it all and made the array again from scratch. I backed up about 85% of the data on another system so the loss isn't too bad lol, but i appreciate the help!

I think i'm going to build another set up for just such occasions xD thanks!
