I have 2x Corsair Force GT SATA 3 drives that I am running on the 2 6g connectors on my Asus Rampage III Black edition motherboard. My problem is intermittent system instability and Corsair told me that the Marvell controllers are very buggy. Is this true and should I consider a PCIe 6g controller and if so, which one?
I also have a new Gigabye 990FX Motherboard and an AMD FX processor which I ran for a while and then reinstalled the ASUS/core i7 extreme. I read a lot of reviews about the FX being a huge dissapoinbtment so so I went back to intel. The upside of the 990FX board is that all the connectors are 6g and it just seems like it might be a better board. The downside is that the AMD FX would probably be trounced by my core i7 extreme (gulftown) unless I overclock it, which isn't outside the realm of possibility since I have a liquid cooling system.
Any advice?
