Nice run! Great virus scan! Onboard controller?

Thanks and yes

Found some way to enable write-back cache in AMD RAIDExpert?

 

[Woomack]

write back is standard option in RAID ROM for probably any 990FX board except ASUS, tests made on 990FXA-UD5 rev 1.0 ( so no LLC ) bios F6 and 2x M4 64GB fw 0309

Thank you for the info!

I will try to extract RAID ROM (SATARAD5.BIN) from Gigabyte BIOS with CBROM and replace it into ASUS BIOS with MMTool Aptio.

you guys are tweaking hardcore

 

thanks for the tidbits

Unfortunately SATARAD5.BIN from Gigabyte Hybrid EFI BIOS is in old format, not compatible with UEFI modules (RaidX64, RaidSetup, RaidLoader).

But I found new versions of UEFI RAID modules in MSI 990FXA-GD80 BIOS.

 

MSI 990FXA-GD80 BIOS 11.8: AMD RAID Utility v1.20 (RaidSetup), AMD RAID Driver v1.0.0.20 (RaidX64), RAID Loader

Asus Crosshair V Formula BIOS 1102: AMD RAID Utility v1.17 (RaidSetup), AMD RAID Driver v1.0.0.17 (RaidX64), RAID Loader

 

Here is modded Asus Crosshair V Formula BIOS 1102 with updated RAID modules from MSI BIOS (untested for now):

here you have already checked bios, modded by p4spooky, it's working for me but gigabyte results are a bit better
