GA-965P S3 rev. 3.3 and problem's with SATA
I have a problem, have a motherboard GA-965P S3 rev. 3.3 and have
connected a hard WD WD5000AAKS. But the brave yellow SATA sockets transfer does not exceed 3.3 MB. Although they say you should be brave SATA 2 connection. I searched online and found an update on board Marvel LAN network card, but not with this update failed to achieve higher speeds on a yellow socket. Now violet and plugs are connected on a brave get approx. 130Mb, still less taking into account that 2 SATA 3Gb knows. |

This article gives an example of how to fix it. These instructions are for an IDE ribbon cable drive, but you can try a similar approach for your SATA drive. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817472 "To re-enable the typical, or faster, transfer mode for an affected device: 1. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then click Computer Management. 2. Click System Tools, and then click Device Manager. 3. Expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers node. 4. Double-click the controller for which you want to restore the typical DMA transfer mode. 5. Click the Driver tab. 6. Click Uninstall. 7. When the process completes, restart your computer. When Windows restarts, the hard disk controller is re-enumerated and the transfer mode is reset to the default value for each device that is connected to the controller." Since your hard drive type is SATA, you'd look for the controller that controls that drive. For testing, you can get a copy of HDTune. Version 2.55 is free, and the second link is the link to download it. http://www.hdtune.com/download.html http://www.hdtune.com/files/hdtune_255.exe The Benchmark tab allows testing the transfer rate performance. In the free version of the program, the test is read-only, so it won't damage the information on the disk. The Info tab shows the parameters currently being used for the drive. Paul |

GA-965P S3 rev. 3.3 and problem's with SATA
There are two different disk controller chips on that board; the Intel
chipset and the JMicron controller chip. The SATA sockets are color coded based on which chip they go to (but I do not recall which one is which). It is very common for people who own motherboards with this configuration (some Asus boards and others have the same configuration) to never install the drivers for the JMicron chip (note, Gigabyte calls it a "Gigabyte" chip). That could be part of your problem if you are using the JMicron chip. Constantin Zaharia wrote: I have a problem, have a motherboard GA-965P S3 rev. 3.3 and have connected a hard WD WD5000AAKS.

Purple connectors are those from JMicron, and now that I UDMA6
connectors and transfer rate somewhere around 150MB. On yellow connectors transfer rate is somewhere around 50mb and connects a UDMA5 |
