seems i am in luck, my sata controller is failing just today. looks as if i can justify a $189 board

was thinking this one with twin X16 support, i can add another 570 whenever.

i thought it was my HDD going, so i started a download on my second HDD and it did the same thing, slows down then lockup.

the open side faces the window, and i dont care about the looks. the looks i care about are on my 120HZ monitor.

very well could be bad drivers, could be the 4 4gig sticks i have in it too i guess? gaming is fine thou.

i dont think you can put uefi onto a bios that does not have it.
uefi is the only way to support the native cap of 2.2tb plus, as i am sure you know.
