Using AK35S00H BIOS and install Seagate Barracuda IV 40GB ATA-100 7200rpm HDD
When using AK35S00H BIOS and install Seagate Barracuda IV 40GB ATA-100 7200rpm HDD on onboard RAID, but when trying to setup RAID devices in RAID bios setup, it shows only at ATA-66 (Ultra-DMA 66 mode4) instead of ATA-100 (Ultra-DMA 100 mode5). Why?
Because of older RAID bios version detect some ATA-100 HDD (Ultra-DMA 100 mode5) as ATA-66 (Ultra-DMA 66 mode4). Therefore, please update BIOS to “AK35H00H” ftp://ftp.shuttle.com/BIOS/ak35/v1.x/ak35h00h.zip bios which can detect IDE device at ATA-100 (Ultra-DMA mode 5) and also this new bios version embedded newer High Point RAID bios. Please download the BIOS file from our FTP site as well as install High Point “HP372driver” ftp://ftp.shuttle.com/Drivers/Raid/372WinHPT v2.31 driver diskete.ZIP into your system.
HDD installed on onboard RAID as a regular IDE device but the system cannot boot from it. Why?
How do I adjust CPU Vcore above and beyond 1.85V in the CMOS Setup Utility under Frequency/Voltage Control in Bios setup?
At CPU Vcore Select of Frequency/Voltage Control, change to [Above 1.85V], then Save & Exit Setup. Restart system and go back into CMOS Setup Utility to change Vcore as needed. Please note that overclock CPU Vcore beyond its nominal voltage may cause CPU to overheat and permanently damaging the CPU itself. Please use it with caution and increase Vcore voltage a bit at a time then test for system stability and CPU temp.
