    I am pretty sure the Overclocking settings in Direct Console 2.0 worked fine before I set up raid 0, but not it seems to reset back to NORMAL after a few seconds. I do not think that it has anything to do with raid, but I have tried all the other tips I have found. I tried reinstalling several ATK drivers and utilities (maybe I did the wrong ones?). Is there any OPTIONAL software from the drivers disk that I need in order for this to work? Also, I just updated the BIOS to 209 and still no luck.

    I setup Raid 0 on mine and the OC feautres work fine for me. I OC during gaming and downclock once I get done.

    Does anybody know if I need power4gear in order for the OC to work? I did not install that from the driver cd


    EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED. Installed Power4 Gear Extreme and everything runs fine now!

    THANK YOU!!!

    I posted about this a while back and even reached out to Asus and they told me DC does not require anything else... Its sad when users can know more than the manufacture.

    I dont like this program but I like the DC and it sucks that I have to keep both to get one but at least I know now.

    Anyway, happy t-day.
